Part 3 Behind the Scenes at Gallo Productions

Posted on by Manuel F. Simoes

This is Part Three of “Behind the Scenes” taken at the Gallo Production Studios

Joey Ciaramitaro conducted three interviews for GoodMorningGloucester, these are snippets from those interviews.  The purpose was just to take some basic photographs and video to document the event. 

Joey did a great job with the interviews as always, but for me the off camera stuff was the most fun.

Hope you enjoy, and Joey thank you for being a good sport.

Massachusetts —
“1,000 Great Places in Massachusetts” is a new cultural tourism program that celebrates what is unique about the state, its communities and its people. The program also aims to stimulate cultural tourism, and increase visitation to the state’s wide range of exceptional historical sites, cultural venues and natural landscapes.

The state Office of Travel and Tourism (MOTT) will accept nominations at Massvacation.com/1000greatplaces until Thursday, April 1.

All Great Places that are nominated must be open and available to the public. Only one nomination per person will be accepted. The commission will meet later in April to draw up a final list of 1,000 Great Places in Massachusetts, which will be announced in May.

The 1,000 Great Places Commission was created by the Legislature last year. It is chaired by Eric Turkington of Falmouth, a former state representative and first House chairman of the Joint Committee on Tourism, Arts and Cultural Development.

Things To Do- Fish ‘n’ Fiction Event Feb 23

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro
Fish ‘n’ Fiction
A new series hosted by the Phyllis A. Marine Association
Sawyer Free Library, Friend Room
Tuesday, February 23, 2010
6:00-8:00pm
Suggested Donation of $5.00 per person
 
Captain Richard Arnold will lead an informal conversation on his personal experiences fishing on board the Phyllis A., out of Gloucester harbor from 1984-2000. Please come and join us with your own stories.
 This program benefits the Phyllis A. Marine Association who mission is, “to promote the history of gillnetting in Gloucester, Massachusetts through the display and preservation of the fishing vessel Phyllis A.” All conversations will be recorded for our oral history collection.
 Additional conversations will occur on the fourth Tuesday of each month.
We offloaded the Phyllis A back when we handled fish at our dock.  The Arnold Brothers were about as classy as you get not only on the waterfront but in humanity in general.  These men are role models believe me and to have the opportunity to hear the stories as told by Richard, well let’s just say it’s something that no one who loves the fishing industry should miss.

Gloucester Day With the Bean – Pottery Making At Art Haven

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

After chatting with Bobby Ryan and Manuel Simoes at Ryan and Wood Distillery we headed back to Beautiful Downtown Gloucester for an art class.  Art Haven is an awesome place to learn and create and the staff is gifted with patience and ease with kids.  You can tell that David Brooks, Dawn Gadow and all the people working there truly love being with the children and what they are doing.  It obviously isn’t just a job for them but a calling.

All the kids were having a blast and it’s unbelievable how some of these very young children have developed their artistic abilities in the Art Haven program.

We didn’t have an appointment, we just popped in and The Bean started right in making about four different things.   A clay mirror frame, a couple rocks with her initials on them and a clay model of our cat Mr JJ Jinglenuts.

Gloucester Day With The Bean- Ryan and Wood Distillery

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Although I knew I wouldn’t be able to cover the Ryan and Wood official launch of Folly Cove Rum I wanted to pop in and see how GMG photographer and videographers Thom Falzorano and Manuel Simoes were doing with the coverage.

We managed to squeeze in a short interview with Bobby Ryan while the Bean made fart noises on my neck.  Adds to the character of the interview I say!

Gloucester Day With the Bean-Lobster Platter Find At Main Street Art and Antiques

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

From The Dress Code we bounced down to David Cox’ Main Street Art and Antiques for my daily dose of David Cox’ hilarity and crazy stories.  We talked about the blog and his assignments while The Bean commented on David’s filing system or lack thereof.

This vintage lobster platter can be had for a mere $28.

I Promised not to Post another Bathroom related item I but I could’nt pass this one up.
This one is from my Friend and Art Teacher Deb Clarke;
“Hello Paul!  Going to church has taken on a whole different meaning in our house.  I have lived here for almost 2 years, cleaned that seat “Religiously” and only noticed this 2 weeks ago.  Maybe worth a post.”
Best,
Deb.
Thanks Deb!
When I was much younger after a night of Bar hopping around Town, I’ve knelt down in front of a similar Church a few times. I’m sure many readers of GMG have done the same.
I’m sure there will be a few Corn Dog Contest Contenders  praying in front of one Thursday Night.
