Happenings on Rocky Neck
Alma McLaughlin hosted the most amazing re-opening of her new two shop location at 75 Rocky Neck last night. All the famous and infamous artists, colorful and beautiful people, characters and denizons of Rocky Neck and beyond were there. If you were there, you know you were at the happening place. If you weren’t, well, sorry, you missed a magnitude thing. Paul Morrison hightailed it over from Rockport as soon as he heard “stuffed mushrooms”; I think that’s Paul’s hand you see reaching into the food shot. If you missed last night, you should schedule a trip to Alma’s Art & Antiques as soon as possible. The shops are chock full of great art and really neat collectibles at very affordable prices. Karen Roberts from Sailor Stan’s did an amazing job with the food, which never stopped coming and was incredible, believe me, I tried it all! Afterwards a bunch of us headed to Madfish Grill and wore holes in the floor dancing nonstop and wildly to Boston Horns’ great funk and soul. Wendie Demuth says she can’t dance; but that girl kicked up a storm and wanted to marry both the horn players (which I think is illegal in this state, and at least one of them was already married).
This is an early tip to everyone out there in GMG land who will be on or near Cape Ann on Thursday, July 7th from 5:00 – 9:00pm. We are planning an amazing Night on the Neck that you and the whole family will enjoy and not want to miss. Mark your calendars now – details to follow soon.

Good Morning Gloucester 
I can be picky about stuffed mushrooms. Don’t you hate it when they are watery? The ones served at Alma’s opening were perfect. It took me a dozen to figure that out …
White wine was pretty tasty too. I think there should be a Rocky Neck gallery opening every friday. Great start to the weekend.

I think by the end of June, there will be a gallery opening every week at Madfish Wharf (every other week at Khan Studio and the Good Morning Gloucester Gallery with the start of each new Guest Artist’s exhibit), alternating weeks at Niki’s new shop with her rotating guest artists, plus Nights on the Neck the first Thursday of each month (June through September). Alma’s was the grandest by far, so don’t expect stuffed mushrooms every week, watery or otherwise.
