Thinking of Checking out the New Studio Restaurant this Weekend?
Update: Saturday and Sunday open til 11PM for the Sox game!!!
Then please come over on Friday night from 5:00-10:00pm. Same great buffet and cash bar as you will find on Saturday or Sunday for only $10, but if you go on Friday, your $10 goes to benefit the Rocky Neck Art Colony and Rocky Neck Cultural Center Building Fund. Thank you Dennis Dyer for such a generous benefit for RNAC.
So please, come on over to Rocky Neck Friday night, check out the beautiful new Studio Restaurant, and help the Rocky Neck Art Colony in the process. Then, since the place is so beautiful and the price is so right, come back again on Saturday, Sunday from 2:00-8:00pm. This will be your only chance to check it out this year. If you miss it, you will have to wait until next spring.

Grand Finale Last Hurrah Mug Up this Sunday
Photos by Charlie Carroll of Grand Opening Mug Up in May
Although I’m sure there will be other Mug Ups scheduled over the winter, this will be the Grand Finale Last Hurrah Mug Up at Khan Studio and the GMG Gallery on Rocky Neck for the season. 77 Rocky Neck Ave. Gallery 3 – Sunday, 10/13 9:30am. The coffee will be hot and the eggs deviled. To those of you who have said: “I’ve always to go to a Mug Up at your gallery”, this is your last chance. Come for some Sunday morning GMG fun and cameraderie. Bring along something to share.

Two years already?
It’s been two years since we lost Paul.
Here’s the story in case you missed it: Union Leader Hero Award
Paul’s FaceBook Page: Paul the III
This from Paul’s Mom;
“Funny how life works 2 years ago was the saddest day of my life, last year on Pauls 1st anniversary we were blessed with our new nephew Tommy who brought so much joy to our family and this year on Pauls 2nd anniversary we bring my Dad home, healthy, from rehab after a terrible fall with a head injury , Oct 10th– bittersweet.”
“Two years goes by very quickly but slowly just the same. Please take some time to remember an truly amazing man, son, brother, family member, friend and hero.
Paul Frontiero III, you are an inspiration to us all and will be forever loved, missed and thought about.”
From Kathryn Libby, one of the Girls Paul Saved;
“Two years ago today an angel gave his life to save mine. His name was Paul Frontiero. If I could make the world yell hallelujah, I would.”
