Listen I know y’all if you’re like me are notorious late shoppers but here’s the thing-  This Thursday night there are a buttload of Downtown Gloucester Merchants offering up cheese platters and Cavemen Chili (I’m talkin about you The Cave) and huge discounts on the stuff you’re gonna wanna buy for your family and friends anyway.

So don’t be a dope and wait til after Thursday to buy it, make a night of it with the boys.  Call your buddies, get that shopping done Thursday night so it’s not hanging over your head til the night of the 24th, take advantage o the savings, and eat some grub at the many many participating stores, and then hit the local watering holes afterward.

#BOOM!

The Old Lady can’t get mad at you when you walk in the door with armfuls of bags with presents in them.  I t’s like a get out of jail free card, the proverbial hall pass to get out of the house.  Bang out the shopping in a half hour and then go to Stones, or Alchemy or Passports, or Lat 43, or Seaport Grille or Dogbar or The Rhumbline or Minglewood or Topside Grille or Cape Ann Brewing or The Franklin or any of our other fine drinking establishments.  Just remember to call a cab if you have to.

I’ll be at EJ and My Two Buddies Show at Alchemy from 5:30-7:30 where they will have a nice spread for us of wine and cheeses and you can pick up one of my Giclee’s made by Cape Ann Giclee or EJ’s awesome works of art or a This is Gloucester DVD.

Right after that I plan to hit up all of Main Street especially The Cave,  hello cold beer caveman chili rat cheese and pate, Life is Good Shrimp dip, Common Crow Our chef’s best dips, local and artisanal cheeses and organic crudite, Palazola’s  crackers and cheese with wine, Seaport Grille free Chowder, (are you kidding me)???????-
