Senator Tarr Auctions Off Georgie Hansen’s Buoy
Forgive the terrible picture quality. I did a horrible job shooting the pictures as I was distracted all night trying to figure out how I was going to steal away the lobster buoy with the lobster on it (more on that later).
But this was the scene with each child holding up their hand painted buoy and Senator Tarr auctioning them off. I don’t know how he held his voice up for that long but he did a remarkable job. Georgie is the daughter of good eggs Dave and Erika Hansen. Erika was sitting in front of Janice Lufkin Shea and I and facing the stage. When the bidding started she had no idea that she was bidding against Janice and I who were standing right behind her while she was facing the stage. The bidding quickly escalated and when all was said and done Janice won out with an $85 bid.
The whole night was a huge success and I have to believe that they didn’t anticipate how many people showed up and actively bid. When there is a great cause our community steps up and this was certainly a great cause.
Classy broad that Janice is she gave the buoy that she had just won back to Erika.

Art Haven Lobster Buoys Up For Auction
Don’t anyone even think about getting into a bidding war with me at tomorrow nights lobster buoy auction to benefit Art Haven at Cruiseport. I have my eye on that lobster buoy and I don’t want things to get ugly so just stay the hell away from bidding on the lobster one.
Are we clear?

Vote For Mark And Ernie
Just got an email from Mark Teiwes. Ernie Morin and Mark are both entered in The 2008 Boston Art Awards.
Mark Entered his Faces Of The Working Waterfront which was shot here in Gloucester and still on display at the Dock. Ernie has “Sight Lines” entered. Give them your votes if you dig the work. They both have my votes that’s for sure.
This from Greg Cook-
“Below is the ballot for the 2008 Boston Art Awards, a contest organized by The New England Journal of Aesthetic Research to honor the best art made in New England (excepting Connecticut) and exhibits organized here in 2008. And you are invited to vote. You!
The ballot is long. Crazy long. More than 60 people contributed some 190 nominations for the 2008 Boston Art Awards. Yes! The process was designed to be open to all, democratic and broadly representative of our community. The resulting ballot – which includes nearly all the nominations – is somewhat messy, despite my best sincere efforts to give it clarity. Ah, democracy!
(http://gregcookland.com/journal/2009/01/2008-boston-art-awards-ballot.html)
Winners will be chosen by (1) local active art journalists and (2) anyone else who wants to vote – and will be announced in terms of these two separate categories of voters.
How to vote:
Voting is open to all. So feel free to pass along this message. Voting will be by e-mail. Vote for just one nominee in each category. Be clear. List each category and then your vote in each category. I suggest copying the ballot into an e-mail, and deleting all but the stuff you’re voting for. It’s okay to vote for yourself – everyone’s doing it. You don’t have to vote in every category. Of course, you may only vote for stuff you have seen. And you may only submit one completed ballot. Anyone breaking these rules will be banished. Email your votes to bostonartawards@gmail.com. Put “Vote” in the subject line.
The deadline for the receipt of votes is 6 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 23, 2009. Late votes will be ignored.
The New England Journal of Aesthetic Research will tally the votes. Nominees with the most votes in each category will win. The 2008 Boston Art Awards Ball is being planned by the kind folks at Big Red & Shiny (thank you) – details will be announced shortly, but it’s looking like it will be in Boston on Feb. 2, and free and open to all. Mark your calendars, because I hope to see you there. Winners will be announced by early February. Stay tuned.
Please contact me with any questions, suggestions, complaints, corrections, dire warnings. And please vote.

Snoop Mad Paints
This is the first time that Snopp Maddie Mad has used the easel to paint. She didn’t do half bad, but that’s to be expected. She’s gifted. The doctor said she’s 1000000th percentile for artistic ability. Honestly.

Coral At Bob And Dave’s
We’ve been getting out of work late and on the drive home I always pass by Bob and Dave’s in the dark when they have long since closed. They have redone their window display with some really cool stuff so I had meant to get in there to check out what the boys had been up to.
As luck would have it yesterday morning when I was going for my coffee Bob and Dave were directly in front of me and pulled in so I pulled in next to them and had a peek inside.
Shhhhhhhhhh!
Don’t tell the Mrs -this is one of her Christmas presents that I bought yesterday. It’s for a small shell and coral collection on our bookcase.

The Madonna At Bob And Dave’s On Bass Ave
Bob and Dave’s on Bass Ave has a beautiful collection of Madonna and Jesus statue and figureheads. Their shop is worth visiting not only for their friendly stories but the place is like a treasure chest and museum rolled up into one. A true Gloucester gem.
