Great fun had by all at breakfast this morning and I was able to get a Richard Belzer punchline out without any of the other tables hearing. But back to the Dangers of Breakfast with Joey. He insists on taking a photo of all plates especially at Passports where everything looks yummy. The trick is to just stick a fork in it and give a stir and he’ll bail on your messy plate. Pictured is a lovely Eggs Benedict with smoked salmon in danger of becoming cold before Joey brackets it with several exposures. Nice to also see the boss keeps his nails clean and doesn’t chew them. You can check his cute cuticles by clicking on the photo.

Sold Out Again- Thank You GMG Community
Well the first batch of 100 sold out in three days so I reordered 50 and am keeping 10 for myself. I’m not going to take any more orders but I have a few (6 or so) that I’ll keep for folks if they want to pick them up here at the dock- first come first served.
TO CLARIFY ALL OF THE DVD’s are THE SAME none of them in the first or second batch have Saturday Greasy Pole or The Why I Love Gloucester Interviews. If I order another batch the new batch won’t have those chapters in the either.
If enough people write in on the comments on this post that they wanted to buy some I’ll consider putting in an order for another 50.
I want to thank all the folks that ordered them and despite my mess up of sending in the wrong master copy to the duplicator and the DVD missing those two chapters (out of 21) we actually sold a record number yesterday and after contacting some folks about the mess up we didn’t have a single person cancel their order.
I still believe that this DVD is unlike anything ever produced that captures so much of the essence of Gloucester despite it missing the Saturday Greasy Pole (it still has the Friday 2011 Greasy Pole).
Here is a preview of the opening chapter featuring background music from Dan King put to a slide show of my favorite Gloucester at Dawn Photos in widescreen format-
I’m taking the order form down as well so if you didn’t order one you can let me know that you intended to and I may place another order if there is enough interest on Monday.
Here’s the details from yesterday:
The DVD is still awesome but thought I should let people know about it. If the reason you bought one was because out of the 21 Chapters those two were critical to your decision to purchase one I will issue you a refund before I ship them.
They look great and I’m thrilled with the results of how they play and Beth Swan’s cover arrangement, I just must have slipped one of the test DVD’s into the envelope when it went to the duplication company. It still has the Friday Greasy Pole, the mutant lobsters, the Novenas, The Gloucester at Dawn Video with Dan King’s music to it, The Good Harbor Zen videos, Down in The Fish Hold of The Captain Domenic, and more.
Just thought I’d let y’all know before I ship them though in case that was why you bought one.
I’ll be writing a check out for $132 for the Greasy Pole rebuilding fund. We ordered 150 total DVD’s, I’m keeping 10 for myself and 8 DVD’s were given as extras when people ordered 5 and got one free and one person who ordered 10 and got two free and I assume the 6 extra DVD’s that are unsold will sell so I added them into the total as if they were sold and paid for.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ED!!!! Guess The Old Geezers Age!
You know those community people who are always there volunteering to help make all the good stuff happen around town?
Well we’ve got quite a few of them who just so happen to be part of the GMG team but my buddy Ed Collard is ALWAYS the first guy to jump in and volunteer his time to make others enjoy themselves in our community.
I couldn’t even begin to list all the stuff he has helped out on and if I tried to I’d never make it out of the office today. All done with a smile. The guy is truly special and I can’t begin to express how lucky I am to have him as a friend and confidant.
So be sure if you see the guy with the porno stash today you wish him a happy birthday. We will have some breakfast at Passports at 8:45AM and then he will be setting up the lights and buoys on the Lobster trap tree.
Happy Birthday Buddy!
Write how old you think he is in the comments to this post.

Did You Know? (Giles Chapel)
That the Rocky Neck Art Colony voted to undertake preliminary efforts toward purchasing the former Christian Science Church property on Rocky Neck? At this time there is a fundraising effort underway to enable the RNAC to conduct a Feasibility Study for the Center, and to pay $1000/month beginning on 1/1/12 for the use of the property and toward the option to purchase the property by 1/1/13, or a mutually agreeable extension of time.
A draft mission for the center has been developed as follows:
Owned and operated by the RNAC, a 501©(3) non-profit arts organization, the Center (actual name to be determined) will serve as a central gathering and activities space for the artists, residents, and merchants of the East Gloucester area.
The Center will be the organizational base of the RNAC, and serve its core mission as an arts organization. In addition, the Center’s mission will be to enable positive community-building through both the arts and non-art-related uses.
The Center will be governed and managed in collaboration with members of the broader community of East Gloucester.
RNAC member, Mary Rhinelander, has generously created and donated 250 signed and numbered linoleum cut and letterpress cards depicting the building, with a brief history on the back. Originally built in 1877 and then known as the Giles Chapel, it was built as a gathering place for the community and named for founding member, Lydia Giles Wonson. This lovely card is available at the RNAC Winter Show, 130 Main Street, and can be yours for a donation of $5 toward this fundraising effort.
