Cinco de Mayo Mug Up – Sunday 9:00 am – Everyone Welcome

Posted on by God's Morning

cinco de mayo

On Sunday, May 5th at 9:00am there will be a pre-season Cindo de Mayo New Digs Blessing Mug Up at my new Rocky Neck digs overlooking Smiths Cove, up the stairs at 1 Wonson Street (behind Sailor Stan’s – the peach house across from Side Street Gallery and sculpture garden).  There will be coffee, tea and huevos rellenos (if I don’t mess them up) and whatever anyone cares to bring along to share (a batch of margaritas would be ok).  Come by and bless my new place with your presence and energy.

Also, from 7:30-12:00 that morning, Sailor Stan’s will be offering muchos especiales for Cinco de Mayo including: Shrimp Vera Cruz Omelette, Mexican Omelette (with Chorizo cheese and chilis), Chili Cheese Omelette, Breakfast Burrito (scrambled, diced ham and salsa), Huevos Rancheros, Gold Rush (spicy Benedict on cornbread), and Avocado Bacon Omelette (plus their full Breakfast Menu).  So if you like, come early and hungry, have breakfast at Sailor Stan’s and then come round back for Mug Up, or vice versa. 

Let’s get spicy and kick off the season, and fill up my new place with the great energy of Rocky Neck and GMG.

Thanks for the support of all our fans that were planning to attend tonight and all the great publicity we received for the Garfish 2013 debut. Stay tuned for upcoming events. Wishing you all the best for this beautiful weekend………..Gar

Girl Rising screening at Cape Ann Community Cinema

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Abbie Lundberg Writes-

Hi Joey,

Did you know…

There are 33 million fewer girls than boys in primary schools

Girls with 8 years of education are 4 times less likely to marry as a child

An extra year of school leads to a 10% decline in fertility rates

A girl with an extra year of education can earn up to 20% more as an adult.

We have the opportunity to have a screening of an amazing new documentary at the Cape Ann Community Cinema May 29 at 7:30 – we just need another 31 people to reserve tickets by May 15, so I’m hoping you’ll help spread the word.

Girl Rising, a groundbreaking film directed by Academy Award nominee Richard Robbins, is based on the idea that if you educate girls you will change the world. It tells the stories of 9 extraordinary girls from 9 countries, written by 9 celebrated writers and narrated by 9 renowned actresses (Meryl Streep, Cate Blanchett, Anne Hathaway, Salma Hayek and more), and it’s amazing – watch the trailer! http://gathr.us/screening/2802

The film was produced by 10×10, a global campaign for girls’ education, built upon partnerships with NGOs, corporations, policy-makers, and grassroots groups, all working to change minds, lives, and policy. Rob Newton will show it at the Cape Ann Community Cinema if at least 50 people reserve tickets by May 15, which you can only do through our screening page on the Gathr web site. http://gathr.us/screening/2802  I know this is a little funky and might put some people off, but their credit card will not be charged unless/until we get 50 people.

thanks!

Abbie
