Part DJ set, part dance performance, part Studio 54, party Berlin underground, this NY couple know how to put on a SHOW!” -YoHoMo
With inspiration from artists like Prince, David Bowie, Grace Jones, Depeche Mode and George Clinton, The Illustrious Blacks have arrived with a mission to fuse futuristic funk, hypnotic house, space disco and synth-pop into pulsating positivity for the planet. The real life married couple are not only co-pilots on their artistic voyage, but are united in their fantastical journey through life.
Little Sister will be serving killer burgers (and so much more) starting at 5pm. Come early and grab food before the show, or stay late and refuel after dancing!

My adoption fee is waived through July 6th to promote Independence Day – from the shelter!
Say hello to Mia, who we affectionately call Mama Mia due to the litter of kittens she recently had while in our care. Mia is a very nice little lady who is about 2 years old. Shy at first is friendly once she gains your trust and enjoys pets and playtime. She prefers getting love and attention with her four paws on the ground instead of being picked up. She is a low-key kinda girl who enjoys the quiet life and taking long naps in the sunlight in her comfy bed. Mama Mia is more than ready to love her forever family, and she knows you’ll love her too; after all, how could you resist her?! Mia is now part of the extended stay club, which means her adoption fee has been reduced to help her find her forever home sooner.
Mia is available to meet by appointment only, please apply for her at capeannanimalaid.org/catapp

This week’s live music schedule at the The Rhumb Line
Last Tuesday, we started our day on the water with a ride out to Straitsmouth Island and ended the day aboard the Ardelle for the weekly Tuesday Schooner Challenge. This time, Isabella was crewed by the Schooner Adventure mates as we ventured out into the harbor for the “race” pitting Maritime Gloucester interns against the experienced Adventure crew. As opposed to the previous week, we were able to stay dry this time! There’s always something going on for these outings and this time we experienced a “man overboard” drill which included rescuing a lead filled bumper which was dropped overboard. We love watching these interns learn such a variety of skills during these sails. Highly recommended (PS there’s a Tuesday ticket discount). Tickets available here.
They just started an Instagram page and are available around East Gloucester
Give the boys a follow, maybe they’ll post some interesting landscaping stuff-

This is by far the most work I ever put into one video, so I really hope you like it and share!
I got about 98% of the attempts recorded. Some were too shaky to use. Sorry if one of yours isn’t in here, but I bet at least one is! Learned a lot for next year too!
