My View of Life on the Dock
Another workspace photo from Freida Grotjahn’s Again and Again Inc. This is exactly how my workshop would look if I produced cool bags made from recycled sailcloth.

From Erika-
I wanna know who the marketing genius was behind the branding of this “Power Panties” line carried at Seasons On Main.
How do you suppose that board meeting went with the advertising executives?
I say it went something like this-
Ad exec #1- “I’m having a hard time coming up with a name for our new “Power Panties” line, what do you guys think?”
Ad exec #2 “How bout we put a black chick, a white chick, and an asian chick on the cover of the box topless and call them “SPANX”?
Ad exec #1-“Fucking Brilliant! Lets go with it!”
Spanx? Seriously?, originally uploaded by captjoe06.
Seasons On Main carries some pretty sexy lingerie. I’m digging this little number.

Swung by to see Freida at Again and Again (she makes cool handbags made from recycled sailcloth) and saw this director’s chair that they make. Very cool.
Freida will be lending us a big sail for the Downtown Block Party that we are going to use as a screen to show slide shows of Gloucester Pictures and live video from the event itself. That’s gonna be cool as hell!

Beautiful new awnings at Dogtown Book Shop and Menage Galleries.
The new awnings will protect the products they sell that can be damaged from the sun. They also fit right in with the style of the buildings that they face. Pretty soon signs will be erected over the awnings with the shop names on them.
When I stopped by to check the place out I noticed the floors in the old gal have been re-sanded and finished. It really brightened the place up.
Main Street is on the rise baby!

Picked up this beauty for the Mrs at The Black Swan. It holds 12 ounces of coffee and is one of many funny coffee mugs they carry.

Bubbles mom sent me a comment telling me that Bubbles on Main Street should have won and wasn’t duly represented in the Downtown Merchants’ Flower Box Competition because I didn’t include her oustanding and creative flower and shell garden in front of her Main Street storefront. I told Bubbles Mom that I’d make it up to her so here is her honorable mention for the fantastic display she put her hard work into to make our Main Street ultra hip and cool.
Thanks Bubbles!

The Black Swan located at 47 Main Street in Downtown Gloucester offers a coupon for 15% off any single item. The Cape Ann Business Incubator and Sustainable Cape Ann’s coupon book has been wildly successful and can be purchased right at the counter at The Black Swan for ten dolla!
You could probably pay for most of the cost of the coupon book with a single purchase at The Black Swan and then have loads of coupons left over to save money all over town.
Saturday afternoon crowd of beer lovers at Cape Ann Brewing made for a fantastic showing. It was wild how diverse the crowd was. Businessmen, Soccer Moms, Yuppies, Fishermen, slackers, you name it. Everyone enjoying the company and beer.
Way to go CAB!
