Jim Dowd Pitches The Common Crow IndiGoGo Campaign
Jo-E!
What’s up, neighbor?
Last time I was on the podcast we discussed how obnoxious all the Kickstarter/Gofundme/Indigogo/gimmiemoneydotcom.com action has gotten. Lately it does seem like everyone with a life goal expects somebody else to pay for it. We also railed on established businesses using Kickstarter in lieu of just getting a bank loan like normal people.
On that last point I’m going to walk back a little as part of the team helping the Common Crow move out to Eastern Ave. Kate and Pat (the owners) are taking a ginormous leap, investing literally a million dollars in partnership with Cape Ann Savings, the city’s Small Business Development arm and Stan Poole the owner/builder of the site and his crew. When they move out there next month the store will employ over 40 people full-time with bennies. And it’s a truly homegrown local business; they literally started in the corner of the Glass Sailboat on Duncan St. 15 years ago.
The Common Crow is going to crowdfund as part of their financing mix in order to pay for a few things they might otherwise put off at the outset and the rewards are pretty sweet if you are into what they have to offer. Stuff like bottomless cups of coffee, gift bags full of product, charcuterie boards (full disclosure: I had no idea what the crap that was a week ago), original pieces from local artists and and of course T-shirts and tote bags because that is apparently the law or something.
Folks should check it out and throw some support their way. It’s truly a local success story.
Later!

Motif No. 1 Day
My coverage of Motif No. 1 Day doesn’t necessarily reflect how much fun we had! If you missed it this year, make a point to be there next year. Kudos (and then some) to the organizers, volunteers, performers, vendors, and everyone else who played a role in this tremendous community event!
Here are some of the photos that I did manage to snap while being pulled in three different directions…literally…thanks to two boys and a dog.

North Shore Pride Invites the Community to Join in Standing Proud Together
North Shore Pride Invites the Community to Join in
Standing Proud Together
Full Week of Educational, Cultural and Community Events Mark Fourth Annual LGBT and Allied Pride Celebration this June
The fourth annual North Shore Pride Parade and Festival will take place Saturday, June 20, 2015, in Salem, MA. The theme of this year’s celebration, voted on by members of the community, is Standing Proud Together.
New this year is a week long calendar of educational, cultural and community events leading up to the parade and festival, including a free “lunch and learn” on Monday, June 15, focused on how to make cities and towns more welcoming for LGBT people.
“The mission of North Shore Pride has always been to create unity in our community,” said president and founder Hope Watt-Bucci. “I’m proud to be expanding our educational mission this year by providing an opportunity for local officials and members of the public to hear from dedicated advocates like Salem Mayor Kim Driscoll and Mason Dunn of the Massachusetts Transgender Political Coalition about steps we can all take to make our North Shore cities and towns more unified and welcoming for all.”
“With a full week of events including a movie night, interfaith service and more, there’s something for everyone to participate in,” Watt-Bucci added, “It takes every one of us to make change in our communities, and this year we truly are standing proud together.”
The Grand Marshal of the 2015 North Shore Pride Parade is OUTVETS, a non-profit organization dedicated to honoring the contributions and sacrifices of LGBTQ Veterans, active service members, and their families. OUTVETS made history earlier this year as the first LGBT organization to officially march openly in the South Boston St. Patrick’s Day Parade.
This year’s entertainment lineup at the festival on the Salem Common includes headliners XELLE (pronounced “XL”). XELLE’s original, high energy songs sound like a delicious mix of Katy Perry, ABBA and The Spice Girls, and they’ve headlined pride festivals in Chicago, San Francisco, New York and more.
XELLE promotes a strong message of self-acceptance and empowerment. They released the song Red Flag as a powerful human rights anthem, in conjunction with the #iRaiseARedFlag online protest to inspire everyone who cares about equality to make their views known and raise their voice against oppression.
Also in our lineup: Adrienne Mack Davis as part of her world tour, local favorites, The DeJas, Rolla, Big Ol’ Dirty Bucket, Sarah & The Wild Versatile, Jenn Lombari and Lucky United.
North Shore Pride is a 100% volunteer run non-profit organization. The annual North Shore Pride Parade, Festival and year-round community events are made possible by the work of countless volunteers, individual donations and the support of community sponsors.
A full calendar of 2015 North Shore Pride events follows below. Complete details, including how to register to march in the parade, be a vendor at the festival, sponsor or volunteer, can be found at www.northshorepride.org.

Community Stuff 5/19/15
My name is Lin Chandler and I am the owner of 222 Arts & Wellness Center
at 222 Eastern Ave. in Gloucester.
I am so excited to spend the evening with all of you this Thursday, May
21st. I am writing to let you know a little bit about us over at 222
Arts & Wellness Center, in the event that you were “on the fence” as to
whether this evening is what you really need. I say “YES IT IS!” and let
me explain why. We are a caring, nurturing community of lightworkers.
We are privileged to have a wide variety of clients with different lives
and avocations, but they all have one thing in common. They are
wondering, “Am I the best person that I am supposed to be, and is my
life the very best it can be?”
We’re all different – maybe meditation will help some of you tune in,
where others may need crystals and singing bowls. Maybe breathing
exercises and songs will help you.
This Thursday, please come and safely experience some of these
therapeutic practices to see what supports you the best. Because your
higher source energy also has a plan for you and knows what is the very
best for you, we are more than happy to use cards, pendulums, crystals,
essential oils, etc., to get those very important questions answered for
you.
Come enjoy this peaceful evening of spiritual tapas with us. Sample
therapeutic practices that interest you. I promise you will be uplifted,
confident and more joyful when the evening is done. Amazing sharing,
caring spirit community, great food, friends, a walking labyrinth,
bonfire and even some songs…it doesn’t get any better than this!
The event is $30.00.
SPACE IS LIMITED AND FILLING UP! YOU MUST RSVP TO THIS EVENT!
Thank you!

2015 Essex River Race Results
Results for this year’s Essex River Race. The
race happened yesterday, May 16. It’s an approximately 5 1/2 mile race
down the Essex River, around Cross Island by Conomo Point, and back to
Rt. 133 at the Essex Ship Building Museum. The conditions were awesome,
temps in the low 70’s, sea breeze, overcast with just a hint of a
sprinkle now and again.
Chris Chappell, you can post these on the web site. I am quite
confident of the results as the timing crew was impeccable. So I am
also sending this out to the press.
Wonderful day, excellent event. Thanks to all!
Peace, Dave

Motif 1 Day in Rockport was packed
On Saturday, Anna and I delivered some prints to Shore Thing, a gift shop on Bearskin Neck. Owners, Jennifer Clark and Becky Ingersoll are fun to work with and their shop is beautiful. We decided to stay for the Motif 1 Day festivities. In spite of it being a cloudy day, threatening to drizzle, downtown Rockport was packed.
We stopped by The Art Nook, David Arsenault’s gallery, Floating Lotus, G19 Artisans, The Fish Shack, and i art colony. We could hear Glass Onion playing in the tent on Dock Square almost everywhere we went. I loved the Side Walk Chalk Art on School Street. I’m so glad that so many folks came out to celebrate Motif 1.
