My View of Life on the Dock
Last week’s winner was Paul Frontiero AKA capeannpainter who on a long shot guessed the identity as a Lane’s Cove shack.
Because of the economy, we have suspended asking small businesses for prize donations. BUT… it’s still fun and past winners don’t have to feel guilty about guessing!
A huge thank you to the businesses who have donated the prizes in the past.
This week’s location might be too easy…Sorry, Joey!
This video was shot by FOB Paul Frontiero. I suspect we will be getting many more contributions from Paul who was the man responsible for printing the GMG tshirts for the Russo Family fundraising.
Here are some more pics that Paul Frontiero took of The Phil Bolger Boat Designed Robin Jean-

Paul Frontiero took a long shot when he guessed the Lane’s Cove shack and when I notified him, he wrote back….
“You gotta be kidding me?
I’ve been down there alot. Must be implanted in my noggin.
I promise I won’t guess for awhile. Unless… one of the next prizes is a Cruise. Thanks Sharon.
Take Care, Paul
So Paul wins a gift certificate from the Lone Gull. Congratulations, Paul!
We know how hard the economy has been hitting us all, so until things pick up, I’d rather not ask small businesses for donations. Soooo- we can still have fun with this without prizes, and Paul won’t have to feel guilty about guessing!!! Jan, you too!
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.

Paul brought the first batch of T Shirts for the fundraising effort to benefit the Children of Matteo Russo. They came out great. I’ll be here at the dock this morning if you would like to pick one up. 100% of the money goes to the family. I’d also like to thank the kind folks at Brown’s Yacht yard who bought 14 shirts. You can come down the dock to pick one up in the early morning or come to the Guerilla Art Project at The Cape Ann Community Cinema (Gloucester Stage Co) this coming wednesday night for the event.
Paul Frontiero Delivered The Fundraising T Shirts This Morning, originally uploaded by captjoe06.
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)

Paul forwarded a couple pictures of this snowy owl that has been hanging around on the State Fish Pier. Mark Ring had told me about it last week and said that it was probably responsible for the many dead seagulls around town. He says they swoop in and rip out their guts and then leave the rest of the gull behind (I guess there’s not much fun in eating feathers)
