studio34 open studio
Make East Gloucester your destination on Saturday. From 3:00-5:00, go for the RNAC Winter Shop Happy Hour opening at the Cultural Center of Rocky Neck, and then head right up Mt.

You’ll get your Ho Ho Ho on for sure, and find lots of great holiday gift ideas, while supporting local arts and shopping “Made in USA” to boot. Don’t miss Studio 6 across the hall at 34 Mt.

Whoa! Andrew Clark to join the Dave Sag’s Blues Party tonight @ The Rhumb Line 9:00 pm

Dave SaginarioDave says,

This Thursday at the Rhumb Line please welcome back that Tootin’ Torquemada of the Tenor: Mr. Andrew Clark. A.C., who has just been returned from his annual alien abduction, is ready to rip the antennae off your cranial pod with his sonic nebulizer. Of course, it doesn’t hurt to have Mr. Forrest “Frosty” Padgett around to fill in the gaposis. My avatar says it’s all done with mirrors. Come find out for yourself. I’ll be in the corner with a dunce hat on.

Pet of the Week-Kitty

kitty, pet of the week

Hello:  My name is Kitty and I am a two-year-old female kitten. I am staying at the Cape Ann Animal Aid, located at the Christopher Cutler Rich Animal Shelter, Four Paws Lane in Gloucester.

The staff, volunteers and I would like to thank the many, many friends who visited us last Saturday at our Open House – we received so many wonderful toys and items for the shelter – thank you all so much.

Please stop by and visit me, I would love to have a home before the New Year. Also, if you adopt me, you might consider changing my name.  I think I could go with a more sophisticated name and I have a few to share with you!

What the Duck!

What The Duck!

What the duck? London’s Tower Bridge opens for 50-foot rubber toy

2 hrs ago

British stiff upper lips cracked into smiles today at the sight of this 50-foot rubber ducky cruising down the River Thames. The venerable Tower Bridge was even forced to open for the giant bath toy. It was all a big, yellow PR stunt for the online gaming company Jackpotjoy.com, which claims that England has fallen into a “happiness recession” (and we all know gambling makes everything better). The company’s FUNdation hands out cash for zany, harebrained ideas like dressing up as a banana or staging a giant food fight. Yep, this qualifies. Flip through the photos above to see this quacker spread its cheer — or at least mass bewilderment. [Source]

Special Guest: JON BUTCHER!
jon butcher fly
It is a thrill for me to present my good friend, Jon Butcher to
the local art community and to the music lovers of Cape Ann
at large.  This is a man who built a legacy for himself that
extends from its early roots in Boston to the far reaches of the
planet.  At last, after years away on the West Coast, he returns
to his adoring fans here in New England – all of whom clearly
remember his music and his legend.  This is Jon Butcher Axis.
And this is a one-in-a-million show you won’t want to miss!
~ FlyFrom http://www.jonbutcher.com/
Grammy-nominated Jon Butcher is one of a select handful of
influential recording artists comprising the legendary Boston
music scene.  MTV vids and hit songs, “Life Takes A Life”,
“Wishes”, “Holy War”, “Goodbye Saving Grace”, “Miracles”,
“Send Me Somebody” comprise the underpinnings of a
recording/ touring career that continues today.  Two critically
acclaimed CD’s, “Positively The Blues” and “Electric Factory”
mark Jon’s enduring love affair with all things Americana –
blues, jazz, Dixieland, folk, swing, Cajun and more.
