Cape Cod Kids Are Getting Cute With Their “Promposals”

Times have changed huh? I’m pretty sure I got my prom date by being president in a game of asshole 3 times in a row. One year I had to go with with an exchange student from New Zealand because I couldn’t get dealt any 2’s or red 3’s to save my life.

Now these kids are using post it notes and drum lines and shit? What’s going on in our schools these days? Go out in the woods and drink a keg like normal Cape kids if you have that much free time on your hands.

P.S. How about that kid down on a knee? C’mon man, the only reason a high school kid should be on one knee is if he’s about to funnel a Natty Light.

Joe Vaudo (A.K.A. Stolen Oyster Guy) Defeated By Write In Candidate In Sandwich Election

joe's

CapeCodOnline.comGeorge Brennan – Joseph Vaudo is finished as a Planning Board member, ousted by the write-in campaign of Robert King in what can only be described as an election shocker.

Vaudo, the incumbent chairman, pleaded guilty in March to receiving stolen property at his fish market.

He had been running unopposed for the three-year seat until last week, when King decided to launch a write-in campaign. King easily outdistanced Vaudo 1,212 to 604. Lori Caron also was elected to a three-year term on the board with 1,311 votes.

King said it was a combination of the Planning Board’s ill-advised zoning proposals for the town’s historic areas and Vaudo’s legal issues that helped propel him into office. “Certainly there was some backlash against Joe,” King said. “I heard some of that at the polls.”

Vaudo could not be reached for comment.

Now that is what I am talking about Sandwich. We called for an all out boycott of Joe’s Lobster Mart a while back after he pleaded guilty to buying stolen shellfish. Well it looks like the people of Sandwich have spoken. Joe was handily defeated by a last minute write in campaign even though he is both the incumbent and the chairman of The Planning Board. This is like the Patriots getting beaten by an expansion team in next year’s Superbowl.

I think Mr. Vaudo’s best bet at this point might be to assume a new identity and move his ass off of our peninsula, and he might want to get some paint thinner to scrub off that scarlet letter before he goes. You might be able to trick a few summer people Joe, but you should know better than to fuck with Real Cape Codders.

The Real Cape Hero Of The Day – Todd Thayer Of Orleans

orleansUtopia

WickedLocal.com – Todd Thayer, a native of Eastham, is asking: Why can’t Orleans be the live music capital of the Cape? Why can’t it be rich in cultural activities? Why can’t the town so rich in natural resources be celebrated for its arts and culture?

So, after working for years to purchase an assemblage property on 6A and on Old Colony Way – which run parallel to each other – Thayer is creating pocket parks, thinking of amphitheaters and outdoor movies, and creating an outdoor row of artist shanties.

Thayer said he also working with local artists to hang art on the large, empty brick expanse that would backdrop a new pocket park. “It will be a place to go, to relax, to look at some art,” said Thayer, adding that art could also be hung on the long wall behind the cemetery.

Thayer’s plan is to have 11 shanties made and placed on the grassy stretch and fronted with a boardwalk behind Nonnie’s. The shanties, modeled on the popular Hyannis Harbor artist shanties, would feature local artists and artisans. Hyannis Harbor now has 71 artists signed for seven shacks.

“We are trying to get exposure for the artists,” said Thayer, adding that “brick and mortar” galleries could also have a presence and let folks know they could visit their shops nearby.

Also coming this summer is the expansion of the farmers market, which has proved so popular that more and more vendors are clamoring for space. Thayer is giving them that space, but also hopes to have a stage that will be the centerpiece for festivals on Saturday evenings. The event would run from 4 to 8 p.m. and along with the music, Thayer hopes that food and wine vendors, the Local Scoop, or even Nauset Surf selling beach clothing would add to the experience.

Well, well, well, looks like we got ourselves a genuine Cape Cod hero. Artist shanties, public displays, a farmer’s market, live music festivals, food and wine. Todd Thayer is building himself a utopia out there in Orleans right under our noses. This place sounds so awesome we might have to actually do more than drive through Orleans on our way to somewhere else. It might even edge out the court as Orleans’ most visited place.

Seriously though, kudos to Todd, he is doing the work of the silent majority. He is taking to the streets and fighting the fun police with action and awesomeness. More importantly he is doing it with culture. He could have leased his land to Home Depot or TGI Friday’s but he chose to go down a path of enlightenment. Home Depot builds stores that bring people from afar to… Home Depot. Todd Thayer is building a place that will bring people to ORLEANS… year after year.

So kudos Todd, you get The Real Cape Merit of Valor Badge for your fearlessness in the face of the Cape Cod Fun Police and your steadfast courage to not Jersey The Cape.

Dude Guy Arrested For Doing Wheelies Down Main St. In Falmouth

wheelie

FALMOUTH — After ignoring officers’ requests that he stop doing wheelies on his bicycle in Main Street traffic Friday, a Falmouth man was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct and marijuana possession, police said.

Dude Guy, 22, of Palmer Avenue, was released on his own recognizance Monday after pleading not guilty to those charges, along with a pair of bicycle violations, in Falmouth District Court.

Around 11:45 a.m. Friday, Dude Guy was “riding a wheelie” alongside heavy eastbound traffic on Main Street, police said. When an officer tried to get his attention, Dude Guy either ignored him or could not hear him because of the headphones he was wearing, police said. Dude Guy continued doing wheeliew about one-tenth of a mile, from Elm Arch Way to Shore Street, as pedestrians called for officers to stop him, police said. Dude Guy eventually fled the area, police said.

Two hours later, police spotted Dude Guy again and yelled for him to stop. An officer threw his cap at Dude Guy to get his attention, and he responded “nice try” before continuing down Main Street into heavy traffic, police said. Dude Guy told another officer down the road to “tell that officer he needs to relax,” police said.

Dude Guy was later arrested with nearly an ounce of marijuana, police said.

He is scheduled to return to court June 12 for a pretrial hearing.

We are going to do something unprecedented here on The Real Cape. We are presenting this article to you with no commentary. We have a huge affinity for both police officers AND 1/10th of a mile long Main St. wheelies that cause pedestrians to freak out. Therefore, we are forced to plead the fifth on this one, but it is funny so we had to post it.

P.S. Yes we changed his name to Dude Guy, we try not to be hypocritical here at The Real Cape.  And really, who among us hasn’t done wheelies down Main Street while jamming out to some tunes with an ounce of weed in our pocket? Is that even a crime these days?
