Joey,

I couldn’t have asked for a better more dedicated effort than the one put forth by our team. 35 quality posts in the First three days alone including the winning greasy pole walks, novena, procession, seine boats, Fiesta 5 K, faces in the crowd. Hell we had something like six different quality posts on Fiesta 5k alone.
Now I understand certain media outlets take heat for trying to stuff as much Fiesta content as they can into their pages but that’s the beauty of GMG. We don’t have no stinkin rules.
We don’t have to cover the puss.
We cover the good and we cover it to death.
FIESTA BABY! WE OWN THIS SPACE!
#BOOM! THAT JUST HAPPENED!
Great Job Team!
Hi Joey-
My little brother Owen Bryan, 11, made this Lego Greasy Pole and we thought you might want to share it on the blog. Here are a few pictures that we liked.
Buona Fiesta!

Lots of anglers are catching 6" to 8" squid off the inside edge of the Eastern Point Breakwater with Sabiki rigs.
Anyone have a good spicy recipe for what to do with the fresh catch?
By the way, now that the Audubon Society runs the lot at the breakwater, don’t forget that it costs $5.00 to park there for the day!
As for access, tell the guard at the gate by Niles Beach that you’re headed for the breakwater. There’s a public right of way along the AEPR (Association of Eastern Point Residents) private speed-bumped roads.
As for Niles Pond, it’s a Great Pond open to public use.

Announcing “Cape Ann ReImaged”
Gloucester, MA, June 29, 2012: Local artist Clare Higgins is pleased to announce the launching of “Cape Ann ReImaged.”
“Cape Ann ReImaged” is a series of digital art works depicting some of Cape Ann’s best known icons and traditions, with a special twist. While Cape Ann has long been a favorite subject for artists, from Winslow Homer and Edward Hopper to many artists of today, Clare has chosen to explore what might have happened if Renaissance, abstract and pop artists had visited the area. “Cape Ann ReImaged” depicts Motif No. 1, the Greasy Pole, Man at the Wheel and more as they might have been envisioned by these artists.
Clare is originally from New York and moved to Gloucester in 2004. She is a writer and digital artist who enjoys creating combinations of classic and modern material. Her play Queer Bent for the Tudor Gent (a Shakespearean version of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy) won two competitions and was performed on stage in Sydney, Australia and New York City. Her published works include a Gilbert and Sullivan-style satire of Seinfeld and humorous pieces imagining how Shakespeare would react to modern technology.
One of Clare’s digital artworks, Cats on the Jatte, based on Seurat’s Sunday Afternoon on the Grande Jatte, was featured in the 2009 Cape Ann Notecard Collection. Cats on the Jatte is part of her “Modern Art Cats” series, feline interpretations of famous art works.
In keeping with her love of mixing seemingly disparate styles and substances, Clare turned an eye toward Cape Ann’s signature events and landmarks and was inspired to imagine how such artists as Da Vinci, Picasso and Warhol might have depicted them. The result is “Cape Ann ReImaged.” If you’d enjoy an innovative way of viewing your favorite parts of Cape Ann, take a trip to http://www.cafepress.com/capeannreimaged.

Hi Joey!
Big Mikes Bikes and I are co-sponsoring a "float" for the Horrible’s Parade to promote safe, fun bicycling here in Gloucester. Would you kindly post the poster/info on GMG?
Mil grazie! Viva San Pietro!
Heidi Wakeman
Cyclists wanted!
I’m inviting ANY and EVERYONE who cares about a POSITIVE CYCLING PRESENCE here in Cape Ann, to participate in this year’s Horrible’s Parade. I have chosen the (rather trite) theme of Superheroes: as in, "Be a hero, ride a bike!" or "Able to avoid death in a single commute!" or "Save the planet, ride a bike!"
This is a family friendly float & parade, and ALL AGES are WELCOME! BE CREATIVE with costumes or signs. BOB trailers, trail-a-bikes, baby seats are all welcome.
If you’ve never walked/ridden in the parade, you’re in for a treat. The route is long: starts at the HS, winds around to the Boulevard, through town, back by the train station and the Rhumb Line and down Centennial Ave, and back to the HS. There are a lot of spectators, so I figure it’s a good time to show our strength in numbers, and promote the healthy lifestyle of bike riding.
DETAILS: July 3rd, 5:00 pm.
Show up at Gloucester High School Parking Lot with bike(s) and friends and family. Costumes, helmets, face paint, signage (strapped to your back? on/in your trailer?) promoting bike riding. You may want to bring snacks/drinks.
Parade starts at 6:00 pm. (Finishes around 8?)
If you have ANY QUESTIONS or IDEAS, please call or email me.
Hope to see you on a bike!
