Lights Out Homie!

Have to be the most negligent zookeepers on the planet right?

Like isn’t it the zookeepers job to make sure the big cats are fed so they don’t run around eating up the other animals?

Zookeeper 101 really, even I know that shit.

John Rockwell ~ Alchemy ~ Ladies Night ~ Wednesdays 7-9

john rockwell alchemy

Hi All:

 

 In honor of spring allegedly coming to Cape Ann AND the Cherry Blossom Festival about to happen in Washington AND in gratitude for last week’s appearance by my new musical friend Helen Aki, I submit the following:

 

Food, beer, wine, friends, song

 

Tomorrow is Ladies Night

 

Hump Day sadness gone.

 

Perhaps if I’d taken more than 30 seconds and used a brush and ink, that would have seemed poetic…Did you know that there are web sites devoted completely to haiku…about SPAM? It is well nigh impossible to select just one to share. So here are 2.

 

Can of metal, slick

 

soft center, so cool, moistening

 

I yearn for your salt

 

to be more spam like

 

o greatest mystery meat
resurrected feet 

 

I hope to see you this week at Alchemy Bistro, 3 Duncan Street in Gloucester. I sing every week there from 7-9, and it’s a lot of fun.

 

John

 

Thursday night blues party with Dave Sag’s to host Mike O’Connell…Smokin!

blues party mike dave frosty

Dave says,


Let’s welcome back local chef and author of “Cooking with Iams®” Mr. Mike O’Connell. Mikey, with his business partners: Mr. Ixnay, Mr.Umpchay and Mr.Amscray has been busy prepping food for the latest nursing home season in Rockport, and is just rarin’ to go and whoop it up on our stage. He writes, he plays groovy catarrh, and he sings like an angel. He’s dying to get out of the house!!

Again, we bring you guit-slinger Dave Brown, the systolic swami of slide, to lubricate the proceedings. Also, Forrest “Frosty” Padgett, to pound the skins. You’ll be hearing Mikey’s toons as well as a eclectic compendium of past hits and failures. Gonna be a swell nite! Spread out!!

Plum Island

I shot this and a bunch of other photos on Sunday using an old Nikkor 24mm f2.8 manual lens that I got at a yard sale for $15. It was more work, but if you have lenses from your old SLR’s and they fit on your DSLR, try experimenting with them. You might be surprised with the results! Here’s more information on this.

Island Art & Hobby Review and Info from Eileen Oliver

Winsor-Newton-oil-paint

From Island Art and Hobby;

Local shoppers ROCK! Thank you to Eileen Oliver for posting this rave review! –

Gloucester’s own Island Art and Hobby is having a clearance sale on Windsor & Newton oil paint… 40% savings! They’re making way for a new line of paints. Stop in and say hello to Don and consider making Island Art and Hobby your one and only art supply store! He has just about everything at VERY competitive prices. What he doesn’t have, he’ll be happy to order for you. Why drive all the way up the line when you can support LOCAL business… it’s a win/win! Island Art and Hobby is located at 117 Main St. in Gloucester.
