It’s that time of year, friends. While we say goodbye to so many of our loyal regulars, we are always excited for the new batch that will be with us for this school year. But for now, we say goodbye to Mohan and Michael.
Mohan, life just isn’t the same without you badgering me about the Hazelnut coffee and talking about books that I’ll never have the time to read. Our time with you was special, why did you have to move to Istanbul? I am still waiting for my postcard!
Michael, although I know that you will visit sometime in the next year or so, you are so irreplaceable. And if you find that you want to switch careers, your book sommelier position is still open here at Crackskull’s.
Sooooo, welcome new regulars! I’ve already started memorizing your drink orders…..put me to the test, I dare you.
You heard right, we’ll be hosting our second round of All Things Out Loud right here at Crackskull’s. Calling all local writers for an exciting night of 3-5 minute readings. Come to read or just to listen; either way, you’ll definitely be entertained! Can’t make it out? That’s alright, it’ll be video-cast live on the All Things Out Loud website, thanks to web-saavy host John Herman. Monday, August 17th, 7:00pm – 9:00pm
Our Artist of the Month for July is Arthur Bradbury. He is a local woodworker from Lee, and he’s graced our walls with his handcarved spoons and nutcrackers. The pieces are made from Apple, Cherry, and even some Lilac, and are so beautiful in the shop. Come in and see!
If you haven’t seen it yet, take a few minutes to look at John Herman and his crew’s latest 48 film project, The Way They Were Inside. This short film was written, cast, filmed, and edited in just 48 hours. This includes the soundtrack also…pretty impressive. Take a look, get inspired.
If you haven’t heard it already, our Crackskull’s Allstar CAITLYN is leaving us. She’s be moving back home in Mid-June, so if you haven’t said goodbye yet, do it soon…you don’t have much time left!
Newmarket will miss Caitlyn’s smile, her sense of humor, her knack at writing inappropriate poetry during our monthly poetry readings. For those of you that know Caitlyn, you also know how selfless and giving she is. This is all second, of course, to her stunning good looks. She will be missed terribly.
These were left to me in a folder when I bought Crackskull’s. I believe they are also available through the Newmarket Historical Society. Funny enough, it doesn’t look that different now. Click on pics to enlarge.
