Kevin Fitzgerald, 17, from Welfleet passed away on December 26th, 2013. Kevin endured a 3 year battle starting with cancer, followed by a bone marrow transfusion and double lung transplant. Kevin fought hard and long, never once letting the battle take away his spirit. Kevin was known as one the best skateboarders Welfleet has ever seen, and he was also the most daring. Kevins passion was and will always be skateboarding.

In honor of Kevins love for skateboarding, the “Decks for Kev” fundraiser has been created. Artists from all around are coming together in an effort to custom paint skate decks that will be auctioned off. All of the proceeds from the fundraiser will be given to the Fitzgerald family. It will be a online silent auction through the Decks for Kev Facebook page and the Facebook page will have all the up to date information. The auction will start April 2nd and run for about 2 weeks.

CapeCodToday.com – Windmills are an unappreciated American asset. They could be useful to many more farmers than actually do use them.

Half a century ago Massachusetts’ Cape Cod was noted for the number of its windmills. They were a feature which lured many tourists, giving the Cape a possession which its rivals lacked.

But they were neglected as cheap electricity power came in and gradually removed. One of the oldest is now in Henry Ford’s Dearborn museum.

Well isn’t this irony at it’s finest. Back in the day our windmills were a source of pride and considered an attraction. Now our windmills cause towns to sue themselves because people say they cause “wind turbine syndrome” and vertigo.

Yup way back when our windmills were so nice that they put one in a museum. Today our windmills are court ordered to work less hours a day than a seven year old girl at a Nike factory in Indonesia.

Just goes to show you that society is indeed regressing in many ways. One day you’ve got Pippi Longstocking frolicking around the wooden windmill and a couple of years later giant metal turbines are causing people to walk at a 45 degree angle like they should have had a fucking V-8.

• Thieves struck at a landfill in Brewster, Massachusetts, fleeing form the scene with solar panels.

• A solar project was underway at the capped site, where crews were installing 3 by 5 foot panels.

• A total of eight panels were removed from the landfill, each equipped with a unique identification number. Each panel is expected to be tracked by the manufacturer.

Who steals solar panels? This is some Mad Max type shit. Energy is getting so valuable that people are stealing solar panels? Must be some rogue hippie gang or something right? They probably realized that they can’t afford to make their commune environmentally friendly and sustainable or something. Maybe it was those Common Ground Cafe Twelve Tribe Hippies. They’ve got some weird Matrix beliefs going on for sure. They might be stocking up for Babylon.

Whoever it was it’s just another tally for the resume of Cape Cod thieves. Crackheads will steal your TV, pillheads will steal your copper pipes, junkies will steal your purse and now we can add hippies stealing solar panels to the list? Keep an eye on your soul Cape Cod, they might be working on a way to steal that next.

P.S. Don’t sleep on the hippies, they’ll steal your face right off of your head.

Waking up with your head in a fog, just your underwear and one sock on, and of course only one contact in. Sounds like a typical morning for most cape codders in the summer. For this to be the outcome of a night in March it better have been a great night.

We here at The Real Cape sponsored our first concert on the 14th at The Beach House and this was definitely one of those great nights. Mighty Ceej and The Bulife both performed but the night started out with a DJ set by Ceej who got the dance party started right by spinning some old school hip hop jams. After Ceej DJ Minor kept everyones moving with a set of his own.

So with the it early in the night still and already 2 great DJ sets in the book, Ceej hit the stage with Ahlayda. If you have never seen Ceej perform be sure to check him out next time he is in your area. The energy he puts in to his shows reveals the love and passion he has for hip hop music.

On stage next was the guys from the tip of the map – The Bulife. Having never seen these guys perform live , I had no idea what to expect and they didn’t disappoint one bit. The chemistry they have as a group is like family…. oh hold on they are in fact cousins. You can definitely see the love these guys have for hip hop come through in their music and performance.

Things get pretty blurry near the end on the night… but I can tell you this, between the guys in Bulife and Ceej , you don’t get much better all around people than these guys. They all live and breathe the Cape life and this thing I call “Cape Hop”. I wanna thank these guys for coming out and performing and big thanks to Pat and his staff at The Beach House for giving us a place to do our thing.

GET OUT AND SUPPORT LIVE MUSIC!

OK folks I have been going back and forth on whether or not I should post this video. It’s an uplifting story of little people convening at The Sea Crest in North Falmouth, but there is a problem. Something fucking hilarious happens in it. The inherent problem here is that the plight of the little people revolves around being treated just like everyone else, so I feel like if I don’t post it then I am treating them differently. Exactly the opposite of what they want.

So the way I see it I am between a rock and hard place and I have no choice but to post it. I will take shit I’m sure, but I’d be a hypocrite if I didn’t post it so I am going to intentionally fall on my sword on this one. I highly urge you watch the entire thing because it is good insight into the world of little people. That said… if you can make it through the 00:25 to 00:35 second marks without laughing out loud then we are simply two different breeds of people, and if you do laugh out loud then you give up any and all rights to call me an asshole…

FalmouthPatch – Massachusetts lawmakers are considering a bill that would make it illegal for a divorcing spouse to have sex with someone else in his or her marital home.

Senate Bill 787 was filed by State Sen. Richard Ross, R-Wrentham. He also serves as minority whip. Ross said he filed the bill on behalf of a constituent.

The bill reads: “In divorce, separation, or 209A proceedings involving children and a marital home, the party remaining in the home shall not conduct a dating or sexual relationship within the home until a divorce is final and all financial and custody issues are resolved, unless the express permission is granted by the courts.”

Ross said he does not support the bill. “When a constituent requested that I file a free petition on his behalf, I did so,” Ross said in a statement on his Facebook page. “While the proposal is not one that I support, I do support his right to participate in state government.”

There should be a rule that the identity of this “constituent” is public knowledge. If you want to bog down our lawmakers with ridiculous bills proposing that adults would need to get court permission to engage in gland to gland combat, then we should know who you are.

Essentially this could be called the cuckold law. Some dude obviously got booted out of his own house and his wife started getting some strange and doing the no pants dance with him. Probably has some dude wearing his bathrobe and eating his Wheaties right now.

I guarantee that if he needed to expose his identity to do this he’d be way too embarrassed to file this dumb ass petition in the first place and we could have all saved a bunch of time. Get over it pal, if you need the courts to keep your wife from plowing other dudes in your bed then it’s time to pack it in and turn in your man card.
