For those of you who don’t already know it, Rocky Neck is just about the coolest place in the Universe. This a photo collage covers just the tip of the iceberg that is Rocky Neck. Thursday, June 2 from 5:00 to 9:00 pm is the First Night on the Neck for the season, and the Grand Opening of Khan Studio and the Good Morning Gloucester Gallery. There will be performers, art, music, dance, good vibes, food, libations and genres of fun for all.
As for the Grand Opening at Khan Studio on Thursday, June 2 from 5:00 to 9:00 at 77 Rocky Neck, G3, I hear from a very reliable source, that in addition to the opening fare that will be offered, Sista Felicia is going to be bringing one of her awesome hors d’oeuvres. There will be a spoken word performance by renowned beat poet, Joda Khan; Good Morning Gloucester contributors and FOB’s will abound. And there will be a premier unveiling of Wendie Demuth’s amazing secret recipe ice tea (the only ingredient we can divulge is Duckworth Bistrot’s special Cape Ann Bee-strot honey), appropriately called Joey C. Ice Tea (because the man was totally blown away by it when he tasted it). So run, walk, bicycle, skateboard, take a taxi or CATA bus, or drive to Rocky Neck tomorrow, Thursday, June 2, and plan to stay late, as Soul Rebel Project will be sharing the love with their special reggae vibe at Madfish, starting at 9:00.

Good Morning Gloucester 
EJ – what a beautiful display of pictures you have created … would be a great poster (or maybe it is?). Very enticing — it should be handed out on the new water shuttle! because who would be able to resist stopping at Rocky Neck?

Whether you are a Cape Ann native, a tourist visiting our unique community or a bride looking for a memorable wedding or rehearsal dinner location, “The Neck” is not to be missed. It is fun and artsy! Every night has its own atmosphere! Capture the light of Smith Cove with your camera, watch the reflection of the sunset on the windows of homes on Mt. Pleasant Avenue,view the galleries and buy a piece of art, walk to the Harbor side and take in the golden light illuminating the downtown, check out the railways, pick seaglass at the beach or just sail in, jump off your boat and cool off! Whatever you do………do come to Rocky Neck…. enjoy and help rebuild one of the oldest art communities in New England.
I have no personal interest in the community other than its new growth, and revitalization and a lifetime of great memories -Especially my wedding reception at the Rockaway 43 years ago, many “special times” at The Rudder and recent rehearsal dinners for my daughter and son at Madfish and The Studio. Thanks Joey, for spotlighting the community and its hardworking artists, shopkeepers and restauranteers.

I knew you would forget the beauty of Squam once you moved to the “NECK”. The studio looks fantastic – hope I get to see it this summer. Best of luck

Debra – could never! The Neck is an amazing place to be in the summer, and I look forward to returning to Squam in the fall. I’ll be here through September, so if you come home to visit, I hope you come over and check out the place. I’m really looking forward to meeting you. Tell Barbara I said hi.
