Best Dance Party in Town

If you went to the last one, you already know that.  If you love to dance, meet and hang out with cool, fun and lively people, in a spot with a great dance floor and great dancing music, don’t miss this.   My hip has finally recovered from the last one, so I’ll be looking for some dance partners!

FRIDAY, April 19th, 7 -10pm
 The Cultural Center on Rocky Neck
6 Wonson St, Rocky Neck, Gloucester

Suggested donation of $10 per person is greatly appreciated.
This is a fun, fundraiser to help support
The Cultural Center on Rocky Neck



Last months DANCE PARTY  was a smashing success, over 80 people attended throughout the night, the dance floor was crankin’ the whole time, and everyone had a great time!  I’ve had some excellent feedback on the music, people loved it!  If you like lively dance tunes, then this is the place for you! 

We’ve got a big wood dance floor, a big open space, friendly and open vibe, and we welcome you! Single, got no partner, come alone! Join us on the dance floor, meet new people and have a great time!  The dance floor was humming right at 7, so come early and dance to your hearts content!

All are welcome!!!!!!

If you wanna bring a snack to share, please do so. Bring your own beverages, of whatever sort (alcohol is fine). Please note that this not a drinking party, it’s a dance party. Tables for snacks and beverages will be set up downstairs, so please bring them down there when you arrive. If you could please take with you what you brought, that would help us a lot on clean up at the end of the evening.

Hope to see YOU there! The people make the party, hope you’ll help us make it a good one! PLEASE SHARE THIS AND INVITE OTHERS!

For questions, info, please email BrendaMalloy@hotmail.com or call 978-559-1709

Poll: Does It Make Me A Bad Perspon If I Don’t Wanna Clean Up Someone Else’s Pee On A Public Toilet Seat

Here’s the scenario:

You walk into a public bathroom to relieve myself (number 1) and the one toilet in there has the toilet seat down and someone else’s pee all over it.

I’m just not gonna be the guy who grabs toilet paper and cleans off someone else’s pee.

Would you clean off the toilet seat first?

Somebody Tell Paul! It’s an R.D. Invasion

Joey,

When visiting Chatham on Sunday we spotted a familiar yet unsettling sight: an army of R.D.’s has invaded Chatham. So we felt it vitally important to alert Paul and the rest of the GoodMorningGloucester audience. The R.D. army has set up shop in a new toy store on Main Street in Chatham. There are doctor ducks, chef ducks, bride ducks, groom ducks. No way to know what their next move is but Ruby and Luke recommend keeping them under close surveillance.

"Letters, E-Mail, Texts — What’s Next?", a podcast episode of "On Point with Tom Ashbrook"

From NPR-

Letters, E-Mail, Texts — What’s Next?

Letters are dead. E-mail outdated. Text messages so passé. What’s going on with how we communicate?

Text messages passe?  Jeeze I’m a huge fan of the simple text message to get my point across in a pinch.

Letters totally dead.  Email outdated?  I’m a dinosaur I guess.

A very special meeting of the Gloucester Area Astronomy Club April 12

200

The Gloucester Area Astronomy Club is delighted to have Dr. Mario Motta as our speaker for the April 12 GAAC meeting. Mario will address the serious threats to our dark skies (and our health!) here on Cape Ann and elsewhere.

Dr. Motta will discuss the human health issues caused by light pollution, and will outline important reasons for good lighting practices, which include energy savings, better seeing at night, and a variety of important environmental problems. This will be a fun and informative meeting on an issue that is critical to us all.

Mario has worked on light pollution issues since 1990, was instrumental in getting a light pollution policy adopted by Gloucester, and is working for similar legislation statewide. He is a founding member of NELPAG (new England Light Pollution advisory group), is on the IDA board, and has gotten both the Massachusetts Medical Society and the AMA to adopt light pollution measures for health reasons. He is on the AMA Council of Science and Public Health, and led a 2 year effort on a compilation of light pollution’s health issues that was adopted by the AMA as policy in 2012.

GAAC meets on the second Friday of every month at the Lanesville Community Center at 8:00pm. There is no cost. We’re on the web at http://gaac.us and on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/gaacpage
