Origami at the Hive

Posted on by Matthew Green

Last night I had an origami class at The Hive, with a Valentine’s Day theme.  Although I had a variety of models ready to teach, we ended up focusing on just making a rose, which is a somewhat complicated model. There were two other meetings going on in other rooms, from which we benefitted by getting spillover snacks!

Snacks, a finished rose, and a rose in the making

We added origami leaves and a stem to the rose at the end, which you can partly see in this photo with David Brooks:

I will be teaching another class in March, although the date is yet to be determined.  The theme is yet to be determined, but some possibilities are:

  • boats and ships (not the typical newspaper sailboat – ones with more variety of shape, maybe some that float, but maybe also some with more detail but less functionality)
  • Origami spirals (kind of abstract but really cool)
  • Suggestions?

Nostradamus. The Oracle. Fred MF Bodin.

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

You know I pride our contributors on being on the cutting edge providing you with the news way before anyone else.

But then you have our boy Fred Bodin just really swinging for the fences yesterday with this bold prediction in the comment section-

Fred writes-

I have a sickening feeling that this could be a big one.

Really Fred? Whoa!!!!!!

Now I don’t know about you but he just totally blew me out of the water with the balls to make such a bold prediction.
Nostradamus? Puh-Leeeease! The Oracle- Ain’t Shit.

We got Fred MF Bodin, sticking his neck out with cutting edge, hard hitting, ballsy weather analysis right there.

I mean how could he ever have deduced that we’re getting a major storm? There was nary a mention of it all week long on the news, facebook, or twitter. The guy is the prognosticator of prognosticators.

I’m just glad we have him on our team. Sheesh. Guy is a weather forecasting monster.

Here’s Fred working up his latest weather models-

Chelsea Berry Concerts at Shalin Liu Rescheduled to March 1st and 2nd

Posted on by Vickie & Peter

This just in from Chris Langathianos (Chelsea Berry’s manager)

Regrettably, the coming storm has made it necessary to cancel both the Friday and Saturday Chelsea Berry concerts at the Shalin Liu Performance Center.  The shows have been rescheduled for Friday and Saturday, March 1st and 2nd and tickets will be honored for those performances. If you are unable to attend those shows, Rockport Music will issue refunds on previously purchased tickets.

And this from Shalin Liu’s Karen Herlitz, Director of Marketing at Rockport Music:

Rockport Music Announcement

Rockport Music Concerts Re-Scheduled Due to Weather

 Due to the impeding inclement weather, Rockport Music announces that both concerts this weekend (Friday, February 8 & Saturday, February 9) with singer-songwriter Chelsea Berry are re-scheduled for Friday, March 1st and Saturday, March 2nd.

Ticketholders will be contacted via email by the Rockport Music Box Office next week to exchange tickets.  Please note: The Box Office will be closed on Friday, due to the weather.  Please check our homepage for updates on other concerts this weekend.

Box Office phone number is 978-546-7391.

Here’s what they didn’t say: There were still tickets left to the Chelsea’s Friday show, so that probably means you could still get tickets to one of these shows in March.  If you don’t have tickets yet, I say call up and get them now before everybody else figures this out (remember, you heard it on GMG FIRST!)

If you’re not sure about whether or not you want to go, watch this video from her new CD:

A Quiet Storm from Charlie Carroll

Posted on by Kimsmithdesigns

Forced myself out the door this morning… I ended up wandering around and decided to shoot some video of the storm… if you could call it that…
Anyway, this is what I ended up with.

This was uploaded as an HD Video, using the H-264 codec… and the resolution and color has been butchered
I think Vemo does this to get you to Upgrade to the Paid Subscription… It’s an annoying marketing plan.
Whatever… the Music’s intact.

Tweet Of The Day From Women Sports

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Do the people who continue to send me press releases read the blog? What is your opinion?

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

In light of the stickied post at the top of the blog stating please hold off on submitting press releases and the dozen or so press releases I’m getting daily do you think…

A) These people submitting them don’t read GMG therefore haven’t read my plea to hold off a week.

B) These people have read my plea to hold off on sending me press releases for a week but don’t think it would irritate me if they send in theirs because their press release is special and far more important than every other press release that I asked folks to hold off on submitting.
