Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Al Bezanson submits-

The Gulf of Maine Chapter of the American Schooner Association in conjunction with the Nova Scotia Schooner Association announces a new radio program to be aired jointly on PBS and CBC, “Wicked Cod.” The show will feature a multi-national schooner fleet under sail scouring the Gulf of Maine in search of a codfish. The rules stipulate hook and line fishing only, and if a cod is actually captured it will be measured and released without disclosing its location. The program will be broadcast continually. Further details to follow.

THEMED "On The Rocks!", ROCKY NECK ART COLONY HOSTS ITS ANNUAL BEAUX ARTS BALL SUPPORTING LOCAL ARTISTS

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

THEMED “On The Rocks!”, ROCKY NECK ART COLONY HOSTS ITS ANNUAL BEAUX ARTS BALL SUPPORTING LOCAL ARTISTS.

Friday, April 17, 2015, 7:30 pm. Costume judging and awards 8:30 pm.

The Studio Restaurant, 51 Rocky Neck Avenue, Gloucester, will graciously open its doors prior to its season only for this unique event. Tickets are available at the door or online at www.rockyneckartcolony.org

Beaux Arts Ball postcard.indd

The Rocky Neck Art Colony’s Beaux Arts Ball is this art community’s most vibrantly festive social event of the season!

Celebrating the art of self-expression, the Beaux Arts Ball, famous for its guests’ exuberantly expressive costumes, invites all to raise a glass of bubbly and feast on fabulous fare. Then, dance the night away in an “On The Rocks!” costume creation that’s gorgeously garish, wildly whimsical, flagrantly flamboyant, ethereally elegant, or funky and fun – or not! Costumes add to the fun, but are certainly optional.

Participate in or simply enjoy the Costume Prize Competition, then try your luck in a raffle for a wide array of handsome gifts: a 3 hour trip for six on the “Windfall”, a 49 foot Hinckley-made sailboat; a hand-made birdhouse crafted by a local artisan; a colorful wheelbarrow filled with Spring gardening tools; a hand crafted full size wooden kayak; cases of locally made craft beers; a brand new bicycle; and a hand designed mirror by a noted artist and other exciting offerings from local donors.

The Beaux Arts Ball is a glorious tradition on Rocky Neck that, over the years, has attracted some of the great lights of the New England art world. So, share in the history, support your local artists, and experience the fun as you strike a pose, bring chaos to couture, hustle your bustle and dance like a dervish at the Beaux Arts Ball!!

Which Churches Offer Sunrise Service?

Hi Joey!
Hope you are well!
Quick question:  In years past I have attended sunrise service for Easter on Good Harbor Beach.  I love it.  This year I have not seen anything about it.  I cannot remember which churches are involved in this, but wondered if you have heard anything about it.
I will email a few churches as well, but thought I would ask you about it as well.  Please let me know if you know anything about this.
Thank you very much,
Priscilla Browne

Hi Joey,
In my attempt to get a head start on promotions, I wanted to reach out to you about our spring musical, Legally Blonde, next weekend. I’d love to be able to get the information out to the community and in your calendar of events as both our Jalapenos fundraiser and Dog Auditions were huge successes!
Here’s a little blurb about the show:
Join Gloucester High School Theatre Program for their spring musical, LEGALLY BLONDE. Get ready for a fun, upbeat story of self-discovery staring Harvard’s beloved blonde, Elle Woods.
Based on the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer motion picture and novel of the same name, this internationally award-winning musical follows Elle as she tackles stereotypes, snobs, and scandal to pursue her dreams. But don’t judge the show by its hair color. This musical is ridiculously enjoyable from start to finish and will have you leaving the theatre screaming OMIGOD!
Tickets may be purchased at the door, or on our website for a 10% discount!

Chickity Check It!- “More than 250 million years before the first dinosaur, the most fearsome killers on Earth may have been lobsters”

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Ancient, Predatory “Lobster” is an Ancestor to All Modern Arthropods

From Gizmodo-

More than 250 million years before the first dinosaur, the most fearsome killers on Earth may have been lobsters. Yawunik kootenayi, a common ancestor to spiders, shrimp and butterflies, was a predatory “lobster-like” creature that ruled the seas half a billion years ago.

As reported this week in the journal Paleontology, fossils of Yawunik were recently unearthed from Marble Canyon, part of the renowned Burgess Shale rock formation of British Columbia. This massive fossil bed holds specimens of many sea creatures that lived during the Cambrian period, the geologic era that saw a rapid diversification of marine life forms.
