After last week’s “Daddy” themed Furry Friday post, I thought I’d feature someone a bit younger. What do you think of this week’s post? Hope you have a great day and relaxing weekend.
I recently had the opportunity to meet the exceptionally talented Provincetown artist, Lee Castoro. He conceived and created the powerful fine art photography exhibit RAW Fine Art, which premiered in August 2010 and toured the United States. The subject matter addressed in the collection is powerful and Lee’s vision, brought to life through his photography is moving and relatable.
If you visit Ptown, you can see some of Lee’s work on display at the prestigious Julie Heller Gallery in Provincetown at 2 Gosnold Street. Definitely a gallery worth seeking out on the Friday night gallery stroll or as an alternative to the beach if you need a break from the sun.
If a visit in Provincetown isn’t likely this year you may see more by visiting the RAW Fine Art website, or you can visit and “like” the Facebook page.
It has been a relaxing week. I’m enjoying the slower pace and spending much of my time like this handsome guy. You reading anything good? Summer reading suggestions are welcome.
I suppose that is one way to encourage people to come in and try your food. Do you think the person was even for one second thinking about what he was saying when he put up that message?
I’m on vacation today and feeling a bit lazy about what to blog about so I figured some patriotic eye-candy would suffice.
The circuit is in full swing in Provincetown as men from all over descend upon this tiny town. The crowds seem more manageable this year but the town still seems to be filled to capacity. I’ve spent much of my time relaxing and going to shows including Ryan Landry’s Show Girls and Mary Poppers. Later this week I’ll check out Ms. Coco Peru at The Crown and Anchor.
I’m really struggling with writing posts and adding images to my blog using my iPad so I promise to add more once I get home and to have those posts drop next week. I’ve included a photo of what the daily Tea Dances at the Boatslip look like, proving that the crowds continue to flock to Ptown no matter what people say about the economy. Below is a photo from Monday’s Tea Dance.
Despite the fact that Boston is a relatively small city, we happen to have one of the largest 4th of July celebrations in the nation and the program will be televised later tonight on CBS.
This year’s headline artist is Jennifer Hudson, and the emcee will be Massachusetts native, Michael Chiklis.
The event starts early in the day for those who want to stake out space along Boston’s beautiful Esplanade Park so they can watch and listen to the concert in person.
You can find out more about the event at www.july4th.org.
Kris Kranzky, my personal trainer at The Boston Sports Club in the South End, shared his typical weekly workout regimen in last week’s fitness tips posting.
Kris has recently modified that routine to get into shape for two hockey tournaments next month by adding different workouts that focus more on power and explosive movements.
If you are looking to add variety into your routine, consider including sports specific exercises including olympic lifts, cleans, snatches, deadlifts, squats, plyometrics and quick feet drills. Ask trainers at your local gym for suggestions or advice. You can also use YouTube to watch demonstrations and to give you ideas on how to include new routines into your work out regimen.
Americans from coast to coast are enjoying the 4th of July holiday. If you are observing the holiday, I hope you are able to enjoy the day with friends and family.
I saw this photo on my friend’s fb page and couldn’t resist pilfering it.
Ms. Coco Peru made a special appearance at Ryan Landry’s “Show Girls” performance on Monday night. The show – the first since being kicked out of The Crown – was filled to capacity at The Pied and the audience included Broadway legend, Patti LuPone. In addition to Ms. Coco Peru and many other talented guests last night, Varla Jean Merman provided colorful commentary through the evening as co-emcee with Ryan.
I’ll be blogging much more about Ryan’s show after I get home, but thought I’d share this photo from after the show. Yes, that is a squeaky toy in Sergio’s pants. They were given out at the show… “Show Girls” is a classy act as one can imagine.
Tomorrow is one of the biggest holidays of the year for Americans. I’m spending the holiday on the beach in Provincetown. Curious what the 4th is like in Provincetown? Here is a video from all the fun last year.
Although it is not quite Independence Day, I’m already down in Provincetown so I thought I’d get a jump start on the holiday by including a patriotic Temptation Tuesday post. Hope you enjoy no matter where you happen to live.
The Boatslip is one of those places that has survived the test of time and become an institution – at least here in Ptown. Many who come to Provincetown will venture to at least one of the Boatslips daily Tea Dances which run from 4:00 – 7:00pm.
If you get tired of the sun and want to get off the deck, the dance floor is always a popular option; careful it gets sweaty in there.
For those who want to keep going there is actually a “late” Tea which occurs down the street at The Pied. Not quite as popular as the Boatslip it still can get a crowd as you can see.
Talk to you later… It’s 3:45 and I need to get ready for Tea.
