Year: 2012

Listen I know y’all if you’re like me are notorious late shoppers but here’s the thing-  This Thursday night there are a buttload of Downtown Gloucester Merchants offering up cheese platters and Cavemen Chili (I’m talkin about you The Cave) and huge discounts on the stuff you’re gonna wanna buy for your family and friends anyway.

So don’t be a dope and wait til after Thursday to buy it, make a night of it with the boys.  Call your buddies, get that shopping done Thursday night so it’s not hanging over your head til the night of the 24th, take advantage o the savings, and eat some grub at the many many participating stores, and then hit the local watering holes afterward.

#BOOM!

The Old Lady can’t get mad at you when you walk in the door with armfuls of bags with presents in them.  I t’s like a get out of jail free card, the proverbial hall pass to get out of the house.  Bang out the shopping in a half hour and then go to Stones, or Alchemy or Passports, or Lat 43, or Seaport Grille or Dogbar or The Rhumbline or Minglewood or Topside Grille or Cape Ann Brewing or The Franklin or any of our other fine drinking establishments.  Just remember to call a cab if you have to.

I’ll be at EJ and My Two Buddies Show at Alchemy from 5:30-7:30 where they will have a nice spread for us of wine and cheeses and you can pick up one of my Giclee’s made by Cape Ann Giclee or EJ’s awesome works of art or a This is Gloucester DVD.

Right after that I plan to hit up all of Main Street especially The Cave,  hello cold beer caveman chili rat cheese and pate, Life is Good Shrimp dip, Common Crow Our chef’s best dips, local and artisanal cheeses and organic crudite, Palazola’s  crackers and cheese with wine, Seaport Grille free Chowder, (are you kidding me)???????-

Good Morning Joey,

The Cave will be serving Caveman Chili, cold beer, pate & rat cheese. We will offer up a discount on gift certificates as well. Thanks for including us.

Merry merry,

Laura

Hi Joey! Nice post for Men’s Night. If you are still adding to the post, I’d love it if you would add our info.
Jewels of Gloucester will be serving up wine, cheese and crackers up to 9pm, and giving a 20% discount off most of our jewelry and watches. It’s also a good time for the guys to sell their old scrap gold and silver. We are paying cash on the spot. Why not free up some cash to cover their holiday shopping. It’s a win-win.
Thanks,

Hope to see you on Thursday, December 13th for Men’s Night. It’s lower key than Ladies’ Night, but it’s still lots of fun. We’re serving home made Viking Herring, cheese, wine, and cold beer. Not to send you all elsewhere, but my neighbor the Cave is serving Cave Man Chili. Hey, you can have surf and turf by visiting me here and Laura at the Cave!
