Manchester Essex Varsity Soccer Columbus Day
The Hornets played the Lynnfield Pioneers to a 0-0 tie at Hyland Field in Manchester Monday October 14, 2013. Lots of chances with one incredible shot bouncing off the crossbar, the ground and a few other things but not getting in the net!

Bittersweet
We had a wonderful grand finale Mug Up at Khan Studio and the GMG Gallery on Sunday. The weather was perfect, and fun was had by all, from the youngest to the oldest. As always, there was plenty of good stuff to eat, but the definite showstopper was Sister Felicia’s cranberry orange tort – scrumptous!
It was a little bittersweet. Season has ended, the gallery is closed, and winter is around the corner. But don’t fear, there will be more Mug Up fun over the winter as hosts James Eves at Cape Ann Giclee, Fred Bodin, Donna Ardizonni and others take up the mantle and keep the tradition alive through the dark, cold winter months. Maybe Joey will even have another one at the dock!

Olive Kitteridge Filming in East Gloucester
Olive Kitteridge, the HBO miniseries, was filming at the North Shore Art Association yesterday.
Olive Kitteridge, the book, is a collection of short stories written by Elizabeth Stout, and is set in the town of Crosby, Maine. Olive Kitteridge was the 2009 Pulitzer Prize winner for fiction.
Is that Adam Bolonsky in the red sweatshirt?
Early that same morning I had taken Rosie for her morning walk. The sunlight streaming sideways through the fog shrouded trees was gorgeous and our hood had a new look for the day; the North Shore Art Association had become Crosby Lyons Club and the parking lot was filled with vintage cars from the 1970s and 1980s .

Nichole Scrafft Has Some Nice Things To Say
Hi Joey,
What would we do without Good Morning Gloucester? I took my mother and my boys to watch the Manchester-By-The-Sea Cardboard Boat Regatta today (SOO fun btw!!) and then went to the Studio in Rocky Neck with a friend this evening for a couple of drinks. I am 100% certain I would not have known to do either if it weren’t for Good Morning Gloucester!! Thanks for all you and your contributors do to help keep us informed…and amused!!! Now, if you could only make the Sox win.
Sincerely,
Nichole

Reminder: “The Pollinator Garden” at the Beverly Public Library
On Tuesday evening, October 15th, at 7 pm, I will be giving my program, “The Pollinator Garden,” at the Beverly Public Library. Following the rhythm of the seasons, I present a slide show (with over 100 photos!) and lecture demonstrating how to create a welcoming haven for bees, birds, butterflies, and other wildlife. Native plants and examples of organic and architectural features will be discussed based on their value to particular vertebrates and invertebrates. I hope you’ll come join me!

Another Discount FOB’s hear about FIRST!
You’ve just got to hear these guys to believe it! The Slide Brothers’ only New England performance this year is Saturday, November 2 at Beverly’s Larcom Theatre, that Fly Amero describes as “a fully restored, gorgeous facility with hand-painted tin, beautifully designed curtains, world-class stage lighting and, well… the list could go on and on … The sound (under the direction of Will Hunt) was nothing shy of spectacular…” (see full post).
Best of all, it’s right next door — about 20 minutes away — in downtown Beverly. And you can now get Premium Seats to the next 2 concerts for less than the cost of Standard Seats if you click on this link now. Premium seats sell out first, so we’re telling you before we tell the rest of the world. You know you want tickets to both concerts, so get them now!
