Spring Has Sprung: Cape Ann Seasonal Openings Part I
Today, the first day of spring, the water is a brisk 39 F but Summer is just around the corner and with it the seasonal openings of restaurants on Cape Ann.
Saturday, March 30, Top Dog of Rockport opens. A clam roll at a picnic table outside. That is Rubber Duck’s official start of the season. Ward off the chill with a Hot Chihuahua Dog with Chili Cheese Fries.
Thursday, April 11, Lobsta Land Restaurant opens. Just say “Lobsta Land!” out loud three times. Quack quack quack, Rubber Duck feels better already. RD had to check their Twitter to find the date. Their website still just says “closed for winter.” Bad Lobsta Land. Engage in all social media.
Thursday, April 11, Captain Carlo’s opens.
Friday April 12th, Dairy Train in Rockport opens.
Thursday, April 18 The Rudder opens.
Note to Restaurateurs of Cape Ann: Do you want patrons when you open your doors this season? Then update your web page!! Update your facebook page!! Rubber Duck should not have to turn over every facebook, web or twitter rock and still have a hard time finding your opening date! Too many places still had, “We’re closing this week for the winter, come back in the spring.” Not good. Update and make a comment on this post and Rubber Duck will add your restaurant to Seasonal Openings Part II.

Happy First Day of Spring!
Never put the kid’s boots away, until after St. Joseph’s Day!
New England springs are predictably unpredictable. The above photo of Magnolia ‘Alexandrina’ was taken exactly one year ago. The Ciaramitaro’s Auntie Elenanor reminds everyone of an old Gloucester saying ~ Never put the kid’s boots away, until after St. Joseph’s Day!
Happy First Day of Spring!
Happy Birthday to my son Alex!

First Blues Fest Performer Announced — and he’s HOT!
Bob Hastings sent me an email last night announcing the first act to be booked for this year’s Gloucester Blues Festival. His name is Anthony Gomes and he’s a smokin’ guitar player as you can see by the video below.
Here’s the thing: He’s not even the headliner … Whew! This will be a spectacular Blues Festival.
You can’t get tickets yet, but you can save the date, which is August 10 at Stage Fort Park. Remember, you heard it here on GMG first and you can trust GMG to let you know the minute tickets go on sale. In case you’re one of the unfortunates who missed last year’s Blues Fest, see some videos here.
No, you don’t want to miss this year, do you?

Thursday Night Blues Party with Dave Sag’s to host Steve Sadler, Dave Brown and Dave Mattacks 8-11 @ The Rhumb Line
Dave says,
The Large Hadron Collider is proud to present the mashup of the Gods this week as we attempt to create the Higgs Boson’s mate right here at the Rhumb Line. They said it couldn’t be done but they didn’t know we have slide swami Dave Brown being helped out by the commodious Steve Sadler and venerable Dave Mattacks. The sorties will accelerate around the track as the vibrating cesium atom ticks and tocks until critical mass is reached and unused brain cells splatter all over the place. Bring a dustpan! And rubber gloves!
But seriously, folks, this is going to be a very special night with dancing girls in grass skirts and plenty of umbrellas in the drinks, so, get there early and croon the night away. Oh, and remember : our special new hours are 8 to 11.

The Bandit Kings ~Tonight @ The Monagle Sessions ~ MinglewoodAtLat43 9:00pm
The Bandit Kings

Bandit Kings live at MinglewoodAtLat43 – 9:00pm-12:00am
This is the last show with all the Bandit Kings before Dan King returns back to the West Coast. I am so looking forward to three sets versus the half an hour at the Monday night jam, but at this point I’ll take what I can get. Great original music, songs that you can relate to and ones that make you feel like you are there, especially “Carnival”.
It was great to see the band member smiling during their performance at the jam. It’s good to be whole.

Pet of the Week-Winter
Hello, I know you want Spring to arrive, but my name is Winter. I am at the Cape Ann Animal Aid, located at the Christopher Cutler Rich Animal Shelter, Four Paws Lane in Gloucester. I arrived at the shelter as I was found as a stray and brought to the Cape Ann Animal Aid by another rescue. They believe I was once someone’s pet because I am a very sweet boy and I am looking for a loving home. For more information about me, you may also go on-line at: CapeAnnAnimalAid.com
I really love it here – all the staff are great and my roommates are too – they were kidding me and said because my coats is black-and-white, I look like an Oreo cookie! Someone said I look like a miniature cow!

This is a must attend for seafood consumers who wish to know more about sustainable seafood guides and the emerging — and some say dizzying — world of seafood labeling schemes.
