Dia del Muerto Celebration at Pleasant St Tea and Coffee Co
From Kitt Cox-
Hola Familia y Amigos,
Sunday November One, we hope you’ll join us for our second recognition and celebration of the Day of the Dead, or Dia del Muerto….it’s a chance to reflect and remember those of our family and friends who are dead, but never really gone from our thoughts and often, even our actions.
We’ll be at the Pleasant Street Tea Company in Gloucester beginning around two in the afternoon. Last year, it proved to be the perfect environment for our first gathering. It’s a great space to sing, reflect, tell a story, connect with a friend or share a poem.
There’s a fine selection of food and beverages available, and we’ll provide a microphone to any and all with a tale to tell or past lives to ponder … both tears and chortles are encouraged.
Please let us know if you’re interested in joining us on Pleasant Street …it will make our planning a bit easier.

From FOB Cindy Rich-
Hello Joey,
It’s been a while! How the Hell are you? I’ve got my hands in another project, this time in Rockport. I was wondering if you could “blast” this Poster and Link from your site to let your readers know about the Harvest Festival going on in October.
This was sent to me from a dear friend Sue Andersen. Sue is joined by Sarah Kelly, both of whom are from Rockport, and have spearheaded this wonderful fall event.
I am including the colorful poster and the link to this event. As always, you and your “blog” Rock! Thanks Joey! Cindy Rich

Jeff Muise Participates In Trails and Sails
Yesterday I took my dad down to the Heritage Center during my coffee break to get him out on a dory. Jeff Muise and Jimmy T were giving folks free rides on dories and teaching them a little about how to row and how you can get involved in the waterfront. It was part of the Trails and Sails program thats going on this weekend all around Essex County. After in the truck on the way back to the dock Dad must have said 5 times about how much fun it was.
I agree, getting out on the water in a dory is really a whole lot of fun. When you are on the dory all the sounds of the world around you seem to disappear and all you hear is the oars slapping against the pins and the water lapping against the hull. It’s amazing and to think that you can use these dories all year long for only $50, it’s just a ridiculous value.

Gloucester New Arts Festival 09 Events Schedule
Festival Events
Saturday the 26th3 PM
Jay Havighurst interactive sound sculptures at Stage Fort Park with a performance at 7-7:30 PM.7-9 PM
‘The Ways You Flock’ – a 2 hour “singularity” for music duo Clairaudient and the public.‘The ways you flock’ is inspired by flocking behavior as observed in birds – spontaneous individual actions that create complex large-scale forms. The piece is a transient re-making of Stage Fort Park into an imaginary version itself in which the public is directly involved… by flocking there. The New Arts Festival and Clairaudient invite any and all to come and take part in this piece by bringing safe light sources to illuminate their movements in the dark, and to create flocking patterns while the music plays. Don’t worry, simple instructions will be provided. Wear comfortable shoes and bring a light. Public can also just listen to the music and watch the spectacle unfold.
In the event of rain, saturday night’s event will become an indoor Clairaudient gig. Stay tuned for details.

Things To Do- New Arts Festival Sept 26 and 27th
Video coming at 1PM
From the site-The Gloucester New Arts Festival was founded in 2005. Inspired by the complex landscapes of the historic fishing port, Director Sarah Slifer has been bringing compelling, exploratory artists to make and show work in the downtown area. The variety of sites- indoor and outdoor, old and new – have helped to shape the way the public experience the work, and sometimes shape the work itself.
This program is supported in part by a grant from the Gloucester Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency, and by the Society for the Encouragement of the Arts (seARTS) through the Massachusetts Cultural Council John and Abigail Adams Grant for Cultural Economic Development.

Rocky Neck Gallery Artist Talks Tonight
Two artists from the Rocky Neck Gallery will talk about and demonstrate processes they use to create their fine art craft work on Wednesday, September 23 at 7:30 pm at the Rocky Neck Gallery, 53 Rocky Neck Ave., Gloucester.
Jeweler, Mary Healy will talk about working with metal and stone and demonstrate a variety of procedures including: forming with metal and treating it like clay, including synclastic and anticlastic forging and form folding; doming; texturing; patination; and reticulation. She will demonstrate the process for using the Byzantine weave starting with a spool of wire and ending in a finished bracelet. In addition, she will briefly discuss the lapidary process in stone work from beach pebbles to fine gems. She will also discuss the types of tools or machines used for the different processes and talk about safety issues.
Ceramic artist Susan Hershey will talk about creating a piece of wood fired pottery, including selecting the clay, making the pot, and applying the glaze. She will outline the entire process from a lump of clay to a finished piece. Firing a kiln that is powered by heat from fire includes wood selection, wood splitting, loading the kiln, stoking the fire and unloading the kiln. Most often this requires at least two, preferably four people to get the job done.
