We are beyond ecstatic to host Hip Hip From The Roots… Up presented by Camden native and Boston based producer Robie Rowland featuring John John, Mr. Lucier, Real Talk, Addie Lou and Rowland’s mentor and former professor Lyrical.

Rowland’s recent projects include working with Lyrical to engineer the new album, “THE COLLEGE PROJECT: Through the Eyes of Pupils”

Robie and I have been in contact since the “THE COLLEGE PROJECT” release and I’m psyched that I was able to get convince him to come up from Boston to share what he’s been up to with the hometown crowd. I have a feeling it’s going to be an epic night for Gilbert’s.

Bases covered.

Rt. 17, Washington, Maine.

Fox Island Wind Project

Today the largest New England coastal wind project begins power generation on the island of Vinalhaven, Maine.

“I don’t care about the future… right now nothing is important… maybe by the end of the year I’ll feel different. We’ll see.”

DEPRESSING. I mean, I totally get it… but jehova.

Seems as though there are two camps of growing older: Those who struggle with the death of their spouses, waiting for death themselves… and then folks like the troop greeter featured in “The Way We Get By,” who find a way to give their last years of life meaning.

In old age I hope to find the latter.

“Excuse me, would you mind taking my picture?”

Surprising? No, not really. Battleground places established where talking needs to happen? Yes, thank you.

Hold on for one more day.

Autumn Squared (via jlaurence1011)

Fall has treated New England well. Even though the season started out unseasonably chilly, the everlasting color and recent mildness has been a redeeming gift.

Today however, the rain has come. And it seems that most of the leaves, surprising still more golden than brown, are being torn from trees. The season of gray spotted with hunting orange (known in other places as florescent) is upon us.

Maine is golden.
