How long have you lived in Gloucester?
One year the end of this month! Though I’ve been around visiting my husband’s family frequently in the past.
I like all four seasons but am looking forward to more green stuff. We’ve had a fairly snug winter with all of the snow, but I like more usually as I’m from south of Buffalo where we get real snow.
Fernwood Lake is sort of a hidden spot of beauty with trails on public land that connect to Wallace Pond and Ravenswood Park.
Sebastian’s
Virgillios
Alchemy. Though we’ve had some really nice dinners (with new baby) at the super family-friendly Gloucester House.
I don’t do the bar scene.
My husband’s bacon egg and cheese sandwiches.
I loved the Main Street events! Fiesta! I also enjoyed the summer concerts at the rock in Stage Fort Park a while back.
Forest, then Beach, then Boat.
Marion Hall’s watercolors, Debra Bretton Robinson’s acrylics, Chris Williams’ sculptures, Anna Vojtech’s children’s illustrations . . .
Wingaersheek!
Charlie’s Place
Flapping Like a Haddock.
Haddock, probably.
Yay! They make me happy. We need these at least once a month (if not every week)!
Local to MA folk: Deb Talan and Meg Hutchinson. I don’t know any Gloucester bands yet. Any suggestions?
Here is Beth’s adorable Arden at the GGAP event-

We had a lot of fun and raised money for a great cause. People turned out and I’m proud to say that GGAP II was the first sell-out at Cape Ann Community Cinema. We raised $2217. which will be deposited by the end of the week to The MR Children fund. There are still 12 t shirts left which can be purchased at The Dress Code downtown and 100% of that money will be added into the total when they are sold. Also Rob Newton will be donating a portion of the proceeds from a show this week (details to follow) into the pot.

Thanks to Sharon for taking the pictures at the show as I was too busy to be able to get any footage.
Beth Swan, The Winner Of The GMG Logo contest and contributor to our fund raising efforts for the family of Matteo Russo sent this mock up of what the t-shirts will look like. The T Shirt stock arrived at my house last night and Paul Frontiero will be printing them up within the next few days. If anyone wants one there are a limited supply of each size so let me know and I’ll try to see that you get the size you would like and be aware that 100% of the money raised for these is going to Matteo’s family. I’d also like to thank Kat Valentine who put together the flyer to promote the G_GAP Fundraising Event at Cape Ann Community Cinema on January 28th(next Wednesday night)

There were many submissions for the GMG Logo Contest and truthfully I loved every single one.
Each one had a different style that brought individual elements that I really liked and the separation between the winning design from Beth Swan at Black Swan Design and the rest was minimal but she hit everything on all points for me with the sunrise symbolizing Morning, the homie, and the simplicity of the design.
Thanks to Alicia Pensarosa, Cathy Tarr, Kat Valentine, Hedgie, and Lia Parisi for playing along.
Here are the final two designs from Beth Swan for the GMG Logo Design Contest.

Beth and her husband moved into our community just this past March. Maybe they will make it out to the Guerilla Art Project Wednesday night at Cape Ann Community Cinema and meet some other GMG folks that I know will be there.
Her design business caters to non-profits, public libraries, and small businesses. Very talented I say!
