Draconid Meteor Shower This Saturday night

Annisquam Arts and Crafts, The Artisans Studio Tour, then Rubber Duck and crew do the Rotary Club Wine tasting this Saturday at Shalin Lui. But that ends at 8PM. What’s a duck to do?

The Draconid Meteor Shower baby!  Some astronomers are predicting a pretty decent meteor shower storm. Cape Ann weather for the weekend is predicted to be cool and crystal clear. Look to the north. You might also check them out Friday and Sunday.

OK, so there is a bright moon and the peak meteors are supposed to be in Europe but Rubber Duck will be out on the granite pile in Halibut Point looking towards Isle of Shoals. (Homie is just helping RD point in the right direction.)

Latitude 43 would like to thank our vendors and supporters for their help, donations and participation in making our Celebrate Gloucester 2 outdoor theater café for Newell Stadium a huge success.

For lighting and electrical, Roy Spittle Electrical. For the entertainment, the hype, the screen, and the idea itself, Joey Ciaramitaro.  For all around construction and setup wizardry, Ed Collard.

For seamstress services on the projection screen and warming up the crowd with delicious  hot chocolate, Sister Felicia.  For putting in a very tough day of hauling tables after a late football game on the line, Michael Falzarano. For lending us tables, Cape Ann Farmer’s Market. For donating additional tables and chairs, Taylor Hedges at Event for Rent.  For food and beverage donations, our vendors Ryan and Wood, Merrimack Valley Distributing, Intershell, Halibut Jack, Kinnealy, Sysco, Sid Wainer, Arrow, MS Walker, United, Horizon and  Shaheen. For providing posters to illustrate stadium plan, Dan King. For their help, through their offices, in making the permitting process a “breeze”, the Gloucester Licensing Board and Rosalie Nicastro at the Board of Health.

And for coming out on a cold night to watch a great show for a good cause, the people of Gloucester.

The warmth and commitment expressed by the generous outpouring of help and support made it an event worth repeating.  We are very grateful to work in such an amazing community.

W. Robertson Davies Quote of the Week From Greg Bover

October 6, 2011
“The world is full of people whose notion of a satisfactory future is, in fact, a return to the idealised past.”

W. Robertson Davies (1913-1995)

image

The son of a Canadian senator and media mogul, Davies received a degree in literature from Oxford University, then returned to Canada to a career of writing essays, plays, criticism, and especially novels, including his widely celebrated The Fifth Business, a Jungian exploration of magical realism and the world of the spirit, which he followed with The Manticore and World of Wonders, forming his much admired Deptford Trilogy. His stylish literary output continued with the Toronto Trilogy, (The Rebel Angels, What’s Bred in the Bone, and The Lyre of Orpheus.)  Davies was also a sought-after speaker and won awards for his literate humor. He was a finalist for the Booker Prize in 1991, but died before he could complete the last book of a third trilogy.
