Gloucester MA Harbor Timelapse 9/18/12
Music it’s Been so Long By The Twees. 720P sped up 16times fast. filmed with the Kodak ZX3 Waterproof Camera $81.89 on Amazon on sale from $140
I’d buy the $40 used one if this one got lost overboard in a heartbeat. Great cheap camera you can beat the hell out of and not worry about. Especially great is the 720p or 1080p video recording capabilities for this price.

City of Gloucester Tourism Commission Radio Advertising Campaign
Dear Gloucester Businesses,
The Gloucester Tourism Commission has entered into a contract with WBOQ radio, a.k.a. North Shore 104.9 FM, to promote the City, our Downtown and all that Gloucester has to offer, with multiple daily radio spots during the fall and holiday seasons. Some of you may have heard them as they started last week. Listen to last week’s spot here.
The intent is to draw visitors during the off season. The beginning and end of each spot is the same and there is time reserved in the middle to plug upcoming City events. You’ll notice in last week’s spot there was a plug for the Block Party in the middle.
If you would wish to purchase your own ad for your own business while the city campaign is being run, here is the contact information.
To discuss radio ads (a very simple process) and rates please contact:
Aurelia Nelson
North Shore 104.9 Phone: 978-927-1049 extension 14 or
Email: aurelia@northshore1049.com
The more people that advertise, the more Gloucester gets promoted!
The City’s Campaign runs from now until October 21 then will start up again for the holiday season November 22- December 20.
Sincerely,
The Gloucester Tourism Commission

Mendy Garron and Family Represent! In Sao Miguel, Azores
Hi Joey,
My family and I recently returned from a fabulous trip to Sao Miguel, Azores. Attached is a picture of Jim and Odin representing near Lomba de Sao Pedro (meaning the Hill of Saint Peter), which we thought was appropriate for the Gloucester followers! I have included a few more pictures of the beautiful scenery. It is an absolutely amazing place!
All the best,
Mendy Garron

Lexington Avenue in Magnolia
The Magnolia Historical Society asked me to take some photos of a building that was being renovated. The new Landlord, J. Stratton Moore,of Manchester, MA, graciously allowed me to take some photos. As the workers were taking down sheet rock, they found these amazing sites that had been covered up over the years. Also what was found was a hidden safe in the wall.

Before he went on stage that night, Aaron Neville had been reviewing mixes from his upcoming album, My True Story with his wife, Sarah, who directed the video, below, that was released exactly 1 week ago today:

Ricky “King” Russell to join Dave Sag’s Blues Party this Thursday night @ The Rhumb Line.
Dave says,
It’s time to check engine light and tighten down the thumbscrews as we welcome back that truly transformative king of the Blues: Mr. Ricky “King” Russell. Everytime this guy shows up, I have to go to a day spa for three days to recover and get my toes…well, never mind. Put an air raid horn on the jukebox, drink 12 cups of coffee, and you’ll know what this guy sounds like.
Worse, he’s bringing “Mr.Ed” Scheer with him. Haven’t seen him in awhile since his stint on Celebrity Rehab. I think his elbow is fine, too. Ed D. is the finest frontman,singer, and drummer I’ve ever heard, I swear to Gawd!
That’s it! 3 singers, 2 gunslingers and a cleanup man. You miss this, you will pay!

Hey Joey
It has been awhile since we’ve passed along a heads up on photos/updates from the Blue Shutters, but we wanted to make sure you saw what we just posted on the Blue Shutters blog – some spectacular shots of the Eurodam taken from the Dogbar as the ship left the harbor.
There are also some photos of Sunday’s road race that ended by the Good Harbor Beach footbridge.
Here’s a link to the blog – hopefully you can use these. Let us know if you need anything more from us on this.
