That Vermin Supreme hails from Rockport, MA?  It never ceases to amaze me the interesting people Cape Ann has spawned.

Vermin Love Supreme is an American performance artist, anarchist and activist who is known for his being a satirical candidate in various local, state, and national elections in the United States. Supreme is known for wearing a boot as a hat and carrying a large toothbrush.  He claims that if elected President of the United States, he will pass a law requiring people to brush their teeth. He also campaigned in 2012 on a platform of zombie apocalypse awareness and time travel research, and he promises a pony for every American.  The latter is great as it will dramatically reduce our dependence on foreign oil, fossil fuel emissions, climate change, highway fatalities, and increase organic food production with all that free manure for fertilizer; plus ponies are so cute.   Supreme claims to mock the political system.   In 2011, he participated in the ongoing Occupy Boston protests.

Vermin Supreme is currently campaigning in the 2012 U.S. presidential election. The following are some of the milestones in this campaign:

• October 29, 2011: He qualified to be listed on the 2012 Democratic Party primary ballot in New Hampshire.

• October 29, 2011: He participated in a satirical debate against a representative of the campaign of deceased British occultist Aleister Crowley.

• December 19, 2011: He participated in the Lesser-Known Democratic Candidates Presidential Forum and “glitterbombed” fellow candidate Randall Terry, claiming that Jesus told him to turn Terry gay.

• January 12, 2012: In the 2012 Democratic Primary in New Hampshire, Supreme received 833 votes (Barack Obama won the primary with 49,080 votes).

Last night Berklee’s Ralph Peterson Ensemble was smokin’ at Minglewood for the kick-off to Berklee Jazz & Roots — a major music program the brings Berklee College of Music to Gloucester in 2012 with 9 more concerts all over the City, master classes in the schools and a scholarship fund.  See here for details

We saw one of the best drummers alive today up close and personal in a hip, intimate venue with excellent food and perfect sound.  Ralph brought 3 of his star students and these guys were HOT!

Brad Byrd was there and told us his Wednesday gig at Johnny D’s went so well the owner asked him back for a weekend.  Way to go Brad.

Lots going on tonight.  Allen Estes and Mike O’Connell top the lineup at George’s tonight.  See the full lineup here

There are lots more pictures from the Art Haven buoy auction coming soon, but this is definitely one of the best: Iona didn’t know her chair was going to be in the art show and when Aja showed it to her she got this grin on her face and said, “It’s my first art show!!” Can’t beat seeing a proud kid standing next to their artwork…

The Bandit Kings return from LA all warm and Califuzzy!

The BKs had a great mini tour playing rockin’ venues like Molly Malones in Hollywood, Leo’s in La Crescenta, and Saint Rocke in Hermosa Beach. We were joined on stage by some pretty special friends, including Mr. Nelson Bragg (Smile, you’re in the Brian Wilson Band!) & Mr. Danny Graziani (we’re addicted to The Adicts, too).

We had some awesome roadies and would very much like to thank Mr. Skip Hart and Ms. Catherine Gunn for their incomparable company and support. Flying cross country makes you officially part of the crew. And we are quite sure it wouldn’t have been as fun without you.

We also owe a huge debt of gratitude to Ms. Rebecca Edelson with Lovestruck Productions for her help and general amazeballs-ness. And to Austin, for diggin’ it SO much. We dig you too.

Thanks to Molly Malones, Saint Rock and Leos…you all help support weary bands every day! And to Joe Mora, his dad, and Joe’s band for making sure we were there for the tasty naked cake. Oh, and good grief, Dawn drove down from SF and KC and Stacey drove up from San Diego, Janelle brough a pack of wild friends, Andrew, his friends, their music and the magic gong, to all our other friends that made it out to the shows, to all our friends back home who were sending us Gloucester-love, and Julia was so nice…we could go on forever. Thank you all, so much.

Check out his website here where there are photos of the 10 foot sculpture.

.07 Wed, 0.81 Thurs, 0.95 Frid. Clicking on photo makes it larger and the Rockport breakwater is just to the left of the sun.

There’s a big time camaraderie in there with everyone who works, they obviously adore the leader of the pack, Dean and the way he runs the place with a warm smile and respect and a kind word for everyone.  One of Gloucester’s finest he is!

Dean is a guy that makes you proud of your community and brings people together to celebrate the positive.  A TRUE GLOUCESTERMAN!

Cheers Dean and to the rest of your wonderful crew at George’s!

Took a drive by so my daughter could see the water tonight.  Nice weather brought out many!  Busy day for January!

But you know we’re here in Gloucester MA where anything is possible.

Next thing you know they’ll be riding around on these things at night with the whole thing lit up.  Crazy right?  Nope.

I just can’t resist these high contrast, high structure cloud shots.

Peter & I will be at Minglewood Tavern for the Berklee Jazz & Roots kick-off party.  The party opens up to the public at 9 p.m. (as space allows).  The Ralph Peterson Ensemble will be on the stage.  Tomorrow they are performing in NYC so you gotta catch ‘em tonight.  They’re HOT!

There are so many animals and birds…  Love this place …. walk and walk..  lots of fun and stress can go away…

The black-and-white Common Goldeneye is one of the last ducks to migrate south in fall and it often will winter as far north as open water permits.

The eyes of a Common Goldeneye are gray-brown at hatching. They turn purple-blue, then blue, then green-blue as they age. By five months of age they have become clear pale green-yellow. The eyes will be bright yellow in adult males and pale yellow to white in females.

These Common Golden Eyes are hanging out with a couple of red breasted mergansers.
