Starting A Chanty Sing On Cape Cod

jwalkmagic — Sat, 12 Jan 2008 18:45:02 GMT

What - A monthly Chantey Sing at The Black Spot in Hyannis - thats right.

When - To be determined. Micah and I are discussing his calender and if necessary we will decide when is most convenient for him. That said we would like as much input as we can get from those who are interested as to best times for most people. Right now it comes down to one Thursday evening per month or a Saturday or Sunday afternoon per month. At the moment the Black Spot is not open on Sundays but if there is enough interest Micah will open for events.

Needed - Anyone who has an interest in Sea Chanteys or maritime lore to come sing, tell stories, play an instrument - generally act like your sitting around the forecastle between watches.

I have high hopes for this as an old timer who would love to see the maritime tradition of the Cape be better preserved. Any one on who has ideas, suggestions, or comments please post here. I will also be posting information on the related Tribe groups and Myspace forums I know as well as making individual contacts.

So lets all heave a pawl and get pointed into the wind.

Seeking Cape Cod/Boston Area Magicians For A Possible Open Mic Night

jwalkmagic — Mon, 17 Dec 2007 17:33:52 GMT

The owner of the Blackspot Cafe in Hyannis MA http://www.theblackspotcafe.com/ is interested in hosting a Magic Open Mic perhaps starting in February.

This would be on a monthly basis as is the poetry open mic he also hosts.

We had discussed the possibility of incorporating magic into the regular Wednesday open mic but the feeling is that the crowd might not be receptive. Magicians are of course welcome to perform any Wednesday as is any one else.

Micah the owner of the Blackspot is a magic enthusiast and would be interested in booking acts in the future as well.

So if you are interested then please get back to me and I will pass the word to Micah and set up the first date.

Talk Like A Pirate Day

jwalkmagic — Thu, 30 Aug 2007 13:12:41 GMT

I am trying to put together a small boarding party to land at "The Black Spot" on Cape Cod for Talk Like A Pirate Day; Sept 19.

Wednesday is also open mic night at "The Black Spot" so I thought it might be fun to take over for a brief time and share some pirate songs with the lubbers there abouts.

So if you are interested, available and have the proper attire contact me to sign articles.

As Always

The Black Spot - A Shameless Plug

jwalkmagic — Wed, 15 Aug 2007 14:54:30 GMT

The Black Spot - a name to warm any pirates heart.

Starting tonight they are hosting the first of what I hope will be many open mic nights.

Some of you on the Cape may remember the old Prodigal Son and what a rollicking good time was had by all at their open mic nights. Well the capt'n n crew of The Black Spot are hoping to revive the same spirit.

So hove to for a while and hoist a flagon o grog. Perhaps add to the merriment by sharing your own talent with the crowd.

Remember:

The Black Spot
10 Ocean St
Hyannis MA

As always.

New Cafe On Cape Cod

jwalkmagic — Sat, 11 Aug 2007 23:02:00 GMT

Opening in Hyannis MA will be The Black Spot Cafe.

A name to warm the heart of any freebooters out there.

The Black Spot is run by some very nice folks who are trying to return a nice comfortable neighborhood cafe to Hyannis.

For those who remember the old Prodigal Son that occupied the same location for many years this will be welcome news. For those who don't -what a place you missed.

Also available will be WiFi access for those of you who sail the Cyber Sea.Also starting next Wednesday they will be hosting a regular open mic night.

I hope all of you in the area and those who come for a visit will stop by and hoist a flagon of grog with Micah and his crew. I think it looks like it is going to me a fun port o call.

So if you are listing to larboard and need to hove to for a while its:

The Black Spot Cafe
!0 Ocean St
Hyannis MA

And remember - Keep To The Code

PS

I am cross posting this - I want to spread the word as far as possible - so for those who are offended my humblest apologys.

The End of an Era

jwalkmagic — Tue, 17 Jul 2007 14:12:19 GMT

Hank Lee will be closing his retail magic store in Boston after more than 30 years in various locations around the city.

http://hankleesmagicfactory.blogspot.com/

I can still remember my first visit to his store back when I was in high school. You had to climb two flights of narrow old stairs past an old manual operated elevator that rarely if ever had an operator.

On arriving you found a cramped dusty space crammed full of every magic trick you could imagine. For someone who knew only the joke/magic shops in Boston this was a revelation. That a shop could be dedicated to magic only.

For that teenage nerd it was pure heaven.

Greater still was the discovery that one never knew who you would meet there. On my very first visit Phil Goldstein (max Maven) was there helping Hank lay out his first catalog.

At any moment local magicians might wander in and give you a bit of advice on what to buy or how to better use some trick or device.

Over the years - even as I traveled far from home - I came to appreciate that this is what a magic shop should be. Even when I found occasional employment demoing tricks at other shops far from home there was something lacking. While Hank was certainly all business there was never a rush to get out the door, no pressure to buy just because it was the new "featured" item.

As his shop moved from place to place I still could go there and spend hours deciding what perfect trick I needed this time.

Hank was also the first to join computers with the magic biz. He had a clunky bulletin board based around a TRS 80 that was next to impossible to log on to. This eventually evolved to his web based business.

So it is with sadness that this wonderful internet has claimed yet another victim - the neighborhood magic shop.

True Hank is opening the warehouse to retail trade but somehow it just won't be the same.

Thanks Hank for all the years of magic.

Has Cape Cod Tribe Allways Been This Quiet?

jwalkmagic — Sat, 10 Dec 2005 20:35:38 GMT

I was just wondering why so little action on this Tribe? Seems like it should be much livelier. This is the time of year we need to keep amused - especially when the weather turns against us.

Just a thought.

Clam shack

Dan — Fri, 12 Mar 2004 22:49:37 GMT

Looking for a clam shack.
A real clam shack similar to the one in Portsmouth RI. where you order, they hand you a rock with a number on it, get your food and you go sit on the sea wall to eat. Every one I have found on the Cape is a resturant calling them selves a clam shack.
They serve great fried clams, both white (New England) and Grey (no cream, just stock) chowder. Fansastic clams and clam cakes.
So Cape Codders, where is the best Clam SHACK?
