At the block party, I caught part of a sideshow provided by Alex Becket of Dr. Bones’ Circus of Marvels. He started by tapping a large nail into his nose with a hammer.
Here is is showing us the (nice and long) nail:
Tapping it in:
Pulling it back out with pliers:
Yikes! Then he slammed a full can of tomatoes on his finger, resulting in a bent can and an unbroken finger (here’s a “before” shot):
It worked! Alex is just one of the performers in Dr. Bones’ Circus of Marvels, but I unfortunately missed the rest.

“Quarry Dance 1”…performed by the Dušan Týnek Dance Theatre at Halibut Point State Park in Rockport, Mass. during the summer of 2012 was so successful that Windhover Performing Arts Center (located in Rockport, Mass) has invited choreographer, Dušan Týnek and his New York based modern dance company to develop a second installment , “Quarry Dance 2.”

This site-specific dance will be performed at privately owned Valley Pit Quarry, located at 7 Leverett Street in Lanesville (Gloucester) on Friday, July 26 and Saturday, July 27, 2013 at 5:30p.m. and is open to the public free of charge. Contributions are welcome. Parking is available at the Lanesville Congregational Church at 1120 Washington Street across from Leverett Street on both days. Parking is also available at the Lanesville Community Center at 8 Vulcan Street on Friday, July 26thonly. Street parking is allowed on Emerald Street, as well as on one side of Washington Street. The performance will last about one hour.
Valley Pit Quarry has a unique history because its former owner, Sylvester Ahola, a Lanesville native, was one of the most talented and famous musicians of the 1920’s and 30’s, playing lead trumpet with over a dozen big bands and making over 2,000 records. After retirement in 1940’s, he hosted many sailing parties at the quarry as a way of celebrating these man-made wonders.
Today, almost 100 years later, Dušan Týnek takes on the challenge by creating a new dance that will reflect upon this special place and generate a new and fresh narrative. The dance will move naturally through the environment using perspective and the unique architecture created by the granite ledges, overhangs, cracks, cliffs and terraces. And the dancers will also be in contact with the water, using its sounds as an additional dimension to the dance. The entire quarry and its surroundings will become a stage.
The Dušan Týnek Dance Theatre is a dynamic, contemporary dance company based in Brooklyn, NY. Recently named one of the top 5 New York City dance companies of the year by the New York Times, they have toured throughout the U.S, Europe and Russia and have recently completed a series of successful performances at Baruch College in New York City. In September, they are scheduled to perform at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in celebration of the company’s 10th anniversary. “ Terrific…striking…a high level of invention… Mr. Týnek is an undoubted talent.” NYTimes
Chairs will be provided for the audience, but people are welcome to bring their own chairs too, and people are encouraged to bring their own water and/or soft drinks.
Windhover is grateful to Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Foundation for their support and the funding which has made this event possible. We also wish to thank the Rockport and Gloucester Cultural Councils and The Donor Advised Fund of the Boston Foundation for their important contributions, as well as our many friends and supporters. We could not have achieved this without all of you.

I owe the idea to FOB Linda Colman who has been begging for years relentlessly for us to bring out a feminine cut V Neck super soft T Shirt.
After months of research and trying many many brands we’ve got it narrowed down and we’re going to offer them in V as well as scoop neck styles- both feminine cut, both crazyyyy soft- like you wanna wear it to bed but then never take it off soft. Like I guarantee it’s gonna be your favorite t shirt soft.
GMG Logo over the left boob.
The scoop neck ones fit true to size but the V Neck ones you need to order a size up (Felicia describes it best in the video)

I just need help deciding the colors
I’m definitely ordering Black and the Dark Gray. But I just need help determining the third color. Once we narrow down the colors to offer I’ll put them on the All Things Gloucester Site for sale- http://gmg.storenvy.com/
I’m taking specific color size combinations in the Dry Fit shirts through Thursday and then whatever the orders are will be what I order from the distributor for the first printing. After that there won’t be any guarantees for stock in certain color/size combinations. it’ll be what is listed on the site for availability is what there will be after that.
The white has been a popular color.
So we’ll poll it to see what you guys think. (Linda Colman gets five votes based on how many times she begged me to carry these)

One of the highlights of the Block Party for me was a visit by these newlyweds. Phil is from Gloucester and Silvie is from the Czech Republic. They live in West Gloucester. Phil works in the corporate world, and Silvie is a holistic healer. She’ll be hosting an event called "Power, Women, & Wine," featuring healers, artists, and readers at Savour Wine and Cheese on September 19th. Call Silvie at 978-412-5400 for more info. It’s funny, 25+ years ago I hosted an opening at my first gallery in East Gloucester (next to the Last Stop). It was called "Ducks, Battleships, & Wine." Guy thing.
