Boston Latin Reggae comes to Gloucester tonight
Gloucester’s newest music venue Mile Marker One features one of Boston’s best Latin/Reggae bands Los Sugar Kings tonight at 7pm. With just a little thinking ahead, you can schedule a perfect musical night starting at 5pm with Michael O’Leary and Friends aboard the Schooner Lannon, then on to Mile Marker One, then over to the Dog Bar at 9 to catch the Bandit Kings with Joe Wilkins.
If none of those artists tickles your fancy there are half a dozen others to choose from. See the complete live music lineup here.

Community Photos 7/7/12
Karen Pischke Submits-
2012 Fiesta proceeded with storm clouds in the background. As an
enthusiastic crowd cheered on the Nina, Pinta, and the Santa Maria at
Sunday’s Seine Boat Race I was reminded of a quote by Jesse Owens- "We all
have dreams. But in order to make dreams come into reality, it takes an
awful lot of determination, dedication, self-discipline, and effort." Well
done rowers! Dream On!

Hi Joey,
A few pics from "the other waterfront".
The first 2 photos are of some tall navy ships docked @ the State Fish Pier on Seaport Blvd. These were taken Tuesday morning at dawn.
Photos 3-8 were taken from the roof of 25 Drydock Ave, where I work. There are 5 navy vessels docked @ Black Falcon Terminal next to my building. I apologize for the obstruction of the Terminal but you get the idea. The sunrise photo is of Logan Airport. Photos 9-11 are from Fan Pier, taken on my lunch break, where there was a fire boat cruising around, and the Roseway was docked next to the Moakley Court House.
Best, Meg Lee
Took the water taxi from Long Wharf to Charlestown and ended up stopped in the middle of everything. A great day.

Boy Meets Seal From Bill O’Connor
Hi Joey,
I was fortunate enough to witness this encounter that a boy had with a baby seal in Wonson Cove today. I’m not sure who had the bigger smile when it was over, but they were both very happy! The kayaking he is using is a fantastic boat for small kids and a great value! Check out our write up about them here: http://northshorekid.com/story/lifetime-wave-kayaks-are-great-starters
Enjoy!

After The Trophies Are Handed Out and The Glory Fades There’s Still Work To Do
Those that know me know that power tools and me are generally not the best of friends. I am not ashamed to say that Sista Felicia is probably 20 times more skilled with powertools as I am. That’s a combination of how great she is with them and how god awful I am.
But after the fun and glory of the Horribles Parade award ceremony the part that no one looks forward to is the dismantling of the float.
Finished and Trailer returned at 9:30PM!

Does anyone have video of The Runaround on July 3?
Well, I guess that’s what happens when a couple thousand people are transfixed by one of Gloucester’s best bands — NOBODY FILMS! If you were on the Boulevard on July 3, and you shot some video, please leave a comment. Better yet, make a YouTube account and upload the video and then put the YouTube link in your comment.
And in case you missed The Runaround at the Boulevard on July 3, you can catch them tonight at the Dog Bar. Honestly, they are NOT TO BE MISSED!
But if you can’t get into the Dog Bar because it’s packed, check out over a dozen other excellent live music choices here.
