Lee Bolton’s War Games Headquarters

Last night our group of crazies got together for more Block party planning. Within the inner sanctum of the Cape Ann Business Incubator Lee Bolton runs his operation. It looked like a scene right out of the eighties movie War Games with Matthew Broderick and Alley Sheedy.

Lee is helping us with the huge slide show and video presentation for the Block Party but it wouldn’t surprise me one bit if we find out that this guy is really plotting to take over the world from his command center deep in the bowels of the Cape Ann Business Incubator.

Richard Gaines Reports On The Block Party

Main Street to close for cruise visitors

“The block party is on.

Blessed unanimously by the City Council, the dream of a handful of citizens and two merchants for a taste of Main Street as a promenade, dance floor and platform for a cafe society this week took on the urgency of opportunity.”

We are also working on having a huge sail used as a screen to show slide shows (featuring some of my pictures and I’m thinking about asking if others want to put some of their Gloucester pics in too) and live video from the event.

Much much more to come!
