MacKid Hamilton Turns 1 Today
Lorraine Miller The creator of MacKid Hamilton writes-
Hi Joey,
I’m still at it, nearly a year after I started publishing MacKid Hamilton. The official anniversary date is Nov. 4th. We’ve grown…500+ subscribers and we’re finally on FB and twitter. But we haven’t grown enough to be viable (yet, I continue for some reason!). I think you know that even though I can’t keep up with everything "Cape Ann", I do my best to promote all the great things that are happening there (and elsewhere in the area). So I am emailing to ask (okay, beg!) you to say nice things about MacKid Hamilton and our 1st birthday in an upcoming issue. And if you could ask parents to subscribe, that would be great!!!
Thank you! And congratulations on winning one of the People’s Choice awards recently for the most valuable blogger!
Congratulations Lorraine! If you would like to subscribe to MacKid Hamilton you can do so on Lorraine’s site here

Jim Ronan Sends Us a Warning
Gonna try something new. How bout each one of you write back and give Jim a reply to his answers in the comment section to this post. Cape Ann Community Concierge 
Joey, 8 of us(4 couples) from Chicago area are planning a New England weekend in July, 2012. A woman at one of the bike shops, Big Mike’s I think, recommended I send you an e-mail. She says YOU are the man.
We are going to spend half a day in your town and I am looking for suggestions regarding a bike tour along the ocean and/or the harbor. Just a short ride is sufficient. Also, we would be especially interested in seeing the
fishermen bring in their lobsters. Are there certain times of day? on Sundays?(this is the likely day we will be in Gloucester). Is there anything that you would consider a must see or do that is exclusive to Gloucester?
Your help is appreciated. I promise to leave your town a little better off than when we arrive, if its possible. (8 people in their mid-fifties can’t do too much damage – that’s for sure).
Sincerely, Jim Rohan

Chickity Check It! Cruiseport Gloucester’s Port Parameters for Gloucester, MA USA
My buddies Peter and Vickie Van Ness are the creative masterminds behind some of the best websites in Gloucester. They are the driving forces behind http://gloucesterma.com/, www.gimmesound.com , http://rudderrestaurant.com/ and Cruiseport’s site-
Understanding the idea behind the www.gloucesterwebcam.com to drive visitors to our local business and community organization’s websites, Peter and Vickie did what I’m hoping others will do with their webcams- embed them on their sites to give visitors a reason to return to their otherwise static websites. If a prospective visitor knows that every time they click on that business or organization’s website they will have the live scenic view of beautiful Gloucester harbor, they will have a reason to return over and over again.
So here is the page on Cruiseport’s site which gives Gloucester Port Parameters for incoming vessels-
Brilliant! Great Job Vickie and Peter!
and great job by Tim at www.GloucesterBytes.com for doing a fantastic job with the webcam install!
If you have web design needs give Peter and Vickie a call at 978-525-9093

Sylvia Tickets to Support The Dog Park Nov 17th
The Cape Ann Theatre Collaborative (CAT) has generously dedicated a night to The Gloucester Dog Park by donating a portion of the proceeds to the November 17th performance of Sylvia to the dog park for the much needed funds to open by park by summer 2012. Please come and support both CAT and Dogs for this great event.
Sylvia is a play about a dog, the couple who adopts her, and the drama that results. It was written by A.R. Gurney and was first produced in 1995. This story about when a mid-life crisis threatens to unravel a marriage and a dog becomes the center of an unlikely love triangle in a heartwarming tale that examines relationships and the search for meaning in life, a hilarious romp that will have you howling for more.
The benefit will be held at Gorton Theater, home of the Gloucester Stage Company, 267 East Main Street, Gloucester, MA. The reception and silent auction begins at 6:00 PM and the performance begins at 7:30. Get there early to bid on great items for both humans and canines! At intermission there will be a free raffle for a prize and be sure you stay for the entire performance as winners for the silent auction items will be announced that evening right after the show.
Tickets are available for Sylvia at the Weathervane, Animal Krackers (Gloucester & Rockport stores) and now The Essex Bird Shop & Pet Supply.
If paying by check, please make the checks out to The Cape Ann Theatre Collaborative. Contact our volunteers if you are interested in tickets or have any questions at gloucesterdogpark@gmail.com
