The night has come! The Improper Bostonian will be absolutely bonkers tonight.  The Bernie Worrell Orchestra is going to hit you so hard that no matter how many times you shower, you still won’t get the funk out.

Bernie is best known from his days as an integral member of Parliament-Funkadelic and his eclectic sound has lead to him being recruited by a slew of other musical pioneers like The Talking Heads and Mos-Def. They say you never know what’s going to happen at a BWO show so this one easily falls into the “can’t miss” category.

Arthur Bonzarelli and I will be there right after the Brazen Belles show and we plan on bringing a few treats to give away, so get your ass down there and let’s do this thing.

Get your tickets now before it sells out!

Capecodonline.com – The White House has officially announced that President Barack Obama and family will be on the Vineyard from August 9 to the 24th this year.

On Saturday, August 9, the president and first lady will travel to Martha’s Vineyard, according to a White House spokesman.”They will remain there until Sunday, August 24th, when they will return to Washington, D.C.”

There are no public events scheduled, the spokesman said.

The 16 day vacation will be the First Family’s fifth visit to the Vineyard since Obama’s presidency.

While no one is confirming where their vacation home will be, The Vineyard Gazette reported Wednesday that they’ll stay in Chilmark, renting a private home off North Road that belongs to to Joanne Hubschman.

The summer home reportedly has sweeping views of the Elizabeth Islands.

Perfect timing! He’ll be around at the same time as The Falmouth Road Race. How great is that? Now instead of a bazillion completely mental people all over Cape Cod, we will have 2 bazillion mental people!

Obama, dude, let’s have a little talk, just me and you OK? Let me tell you about a little month we call September. It is a well known fact to people that live here that September is the best month on Cape Cod. The weather is still beautiful, but you know what’s missing? The 2 bazillion mental people!

This thing was designed for Cape Cod life. I am not a material person, things don’t matter much to me, but I’m pretty sure now that I’ve seen this cooler, if I don’t get one I will die.

P.S. If anyone gets me one of these they can have free tickets to everything we ever do in forever and ever.

P.P.S. Look at this guy! Look at how much fun he is having! By himself!

CCT – Whether fascination or fear sent them, people of all ages, locals and visitors, packed the auditorium of the Salt Pond Visitor Center in Eastham Tuesday night for an hour-long shark talk.

State Marine Fisheries Biologist John Chisholm had the crowd’s full attention as he spoke about the white sharks who swim and feed in Cape Cod waters. Chisholm, along with Dr. Greg Skomal, are the lone (and very busy) members of the state’s Shark Research Program.

Where you find seals, you’ll find white sharks, according to Chisholm. Since 2009, Chisholm and Skomel have been tagging white sharks along Cape Cod–some as far up the coast as Nauset Beach, but most around Monomoy in Chatham–an area that Chisholm dubbed “Shark Cove”.

Over those 4+ years, the marine biologists, with the assistance of spotter pilots and the father and son crew of the Ezyduzit, Captains Billy and Nick Chaprales, have tagged 39 white sharks with three different types of data tags.

“Shark Cove” is an especially good spot to find and tag sharks because of the abundance of seals and the wavy sand bars that bring the sharks close to the water’s surface–right where the shark needs to be for tagging.

Excuse me? 39? I’m starting to think my irrational fear of sharks may not be so irrational after all. “Shark Cove” sounds like a real neat place. Oh the wavy sandbars bring the sharks right to where they need to be for tagging? Right to the surface you say? Do you know what else the surface is perfect for? EATING PEOPLE!

I know I’ve said it before, but this time I mean it. I’m done with swimming in the ocean. I thought white sharks were as rare as baby seagulls, but now I find out these guys have tagged 39 of them. 39! As a rule I don’t enter areas where the amount of predators that can bite me in half are found in numbers greater than my age. Sorry ocean, you’re out.

P.S. An “abundance of seals” to eat and nice sandbars. Cape Cod has officially become a 4th of July Cookout for Great White Sharks. Awesome.
