Tina Greel Represents Before the Paint Mfg Demolition

Hey Wait! I gave her a Sticka but where’d she get my Official GMG Press Pass?

IF YOU SEE TINA PLEASE TELL HER I’D LIKE IT BACK!

How am I supposed to get into any big local events (for free) without it?

 

Please Tina give it back. It won’t do you any good. You don’t look anything at all like the photo on it. You have too much hair.

Eurodam Video and Rick Represents

at the State Fish Pier. 09/12/2011

I met Rick a Big fan of GMG At The State Fish Pier. He enjoys checking it out everyday to see what’s going on here on our Island Paradise. He thought the Sunday Mug Ups were by invitation only. I told him and any Fan like him can come down Sunday Mornings at 10am and get some Coffee and some great food. No obligation to buy anything at all. Rick seems like a great guy and I look forward to talking to him again.

Here’s a photo of Rick Representin’ and The Eurodam video I took today. Rick also is my color commentary on the last part of this video when you see the shuttle boat arriving at the CruisePort.

Here’s Rick:

A Tale of Two Sunrises

A Tale of Two Sunrises

Mr. Paul Morrison informed me I wasn’t the only one up at 5:57am Saturday 09/10/11

Hmm!’ 9 /10/ 11? Does that have any meaning on the Mayan Calendar?

I was parked on Nautilus Rd. taking pictures of this beautiful show

(which there  are so many on this island)

And drawing an “Art, Rock!”

Mr. Morrison was on the other side of the Island on Andrews point taking pictures and probably trying to catch some more of his Wifes deliscious Bluefish Pate’ with his trusted companion R Duck.

I don’t know who’s crazier, Me with my Rocks or Mr. Morrison with his Rubber Duck.

Here are the Photos we took within a minute of each other that morning.

At the urging of my Aunts Mary Scola and Vincie (Scola) Gounaris, and my sister Josie (Frontiero) Palazola, I wrote this piece to express my thanks and appreciation to all the Cape Ann friends and family of fans who viewed and rooted for Mike and Sam during the eight NBC ‘Love In The Wild’ episodes that aired on Wednesday nights at 10 p.m. from June 29 to August 17, 2011, where Mike and Samantha met, partnered up for seven of the eight challenges, and went on to win the grand prize trip around the world.  Congratulations to them! Here is some personal information that your readers may enjoy.

What the Heck is a Windlass?

What the Heck is a Windlass?

I never knew what one was until I viewed this video. I always thought it was probably one of the small sails on a Schooner. You learn something new everyday.

From the Youtube Description;

“What’s a windlass? The students from Cape Ann TV’s After-the-Beach Video Club visited the Gloucester Schooner Adventure on Tuesday, July 12, where some of the crew from the Schooner Adventure gave the students a tour of this historic sailing vessel, which is docked at the Marine Railway on Rocky Neck in Gloucester. Watch this short clip to find out about the ship’s newly restored windlass.”

Tropical Storm Irene from Stage Fort Park 08/28/2011

Tropical Storm Irene from Stage Fort Park 08/28/2011

Probably one of the dumbest thing i’ve done. Walked out to the cannons. The trees were being bent over by the wind and the sea spray was washing up to the benches. Approx. wind speed 60mph. After I took a few photos and short video, I was walking back to my car and had to dodge a few flying tree branches. Not to bright but I never pretended to be.

Please remember, I went to the Ed Collard school of Videography.

I think I made him PROUD!
