Joey,
The Gloucester Writers Center Gala was a huge success. The evening festivities began with “Bites on the Dock” at Maritime Gloucester. Over 250 people gathered as the sun set and the moon rose over the harbor to dine on oysters, chowder, and a wonderful array of gourmet bites, all donated by North Shore restaurants and caterers. In the words of Vincent Ferrini “conviviality was taken to another sphere”! The Poet’s Cabaret, MCed old friend Michael McNamara and M. Lynda Robinson, the hour Cabaret showcased the new Ferrini book “Incredible Dancer” and the talents of some of Cape Ann’s most loved players who sang, danced, and recited the newly published verse of Ferrini.
It was an unforgettable and poignant evening with the three year old Gloucester Writers Center raising over $23,000.
I’ve also enclosed a short video that gives a taste of the evening.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQZ-VHU34ns
