Hey Joey –
Just wanted to update you and the GMG readers about Monday’s fundraiser to benefit Gloucester Little League featuring Andy & Jonathan Hillstrand from the Time Bandit.
My phone is ringing off the hook today with people calling looking to see if we still have tickets. The calls are coming from all over Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Maine. The event was covered in the Herald today and we expect a feature story in The Beacon tomorrow. I am hopeful that this event will be a sell-out, as was last year’s event featuring Sig Hansen.
People from “over the bridge” will have to buy their tickets at the door or come to Gloucester to get the tickets in advance. Locals who want to attend the event should purchase their tickets at Jeff’s Variety in the next few days to assure that are guaranteed admission to the event.
Looking forward to seeing everybody there for a fun evening.
Kristin

Uh…this video is just about the worst I’ve ever seen, but you’ll get the key points. If you know this Where Zat?, it won’t matter that you get motion sickness watching it. Good luck! And next time I’ll use my Flip instead of my iPhone! Or at least I’ll hold the camera horizontal instead of diagonally!
Clue: This is in Gloucester (not downtown), definitely off the beaten path.
You win a great CD of Kitt Cox’s music if you’re the first person to identify this location! Thank you, Kitt!
Whoops! I forgot to anounce last week’s winner! Watch for it at 4:00 this afternoon.
I messed around with this picture to give it a grittier feel. The original below-

I’m gonna say it straight out- for the very best sub roll in the entire universe it’s Virgilio’s. I love my Sclafani’s sandwiches and bread and all but if you are just talking sub roll Virgilio’s sub rolls are just incredible. Every sub shop in America should be using them if they care about having the best. It’s not even open to debate. They are light and soft on the inside and just the right texture on the outside, complimenting whatever meat you throw in there.
Look for my interview at Virgilio’s at 8AM

I had promoted on these pages that people vote for their favorite local business in the North Shore Magazine annual award nomination process but never once did I lobby for anyone to vote for us for anything. You can see the post where I asked people to vote for their favorite local restaurant, bag shop, brewery, and many many other listings here- that May 29,2009 GMG post

When stopping downtown as I try to do every morning to get my coffee and get the scoop from Janice at headquarters (The Cormorant Shop) I saw Virginia Townsend zipping across the street with a lobster platter and bowl.
Lobsters- art- ding ding ding! Blog Material!

The morning before last one of our pumps that keep salt water flowing to the lobster tanks shit the bed. It’s great to have places like Rose’s Marine where you know you can go and get what you need in marine industrial applications.
