Here we go… We are prone to joking around on this website, but I assure you this is no joke. Some of you may already know, but for those of you that don’t, we have been working with a prominent Los Angeles based production company to bring a television show to Cape Cod for a while now. Well, we are officially going into production on a project to do a reality television show about, what else? The Real Cape. This production company works with the Nat Geo network and they are 100% on board with producing a show that is authentic in respect to the Cape Cod that we know and love. We would not have signed off on this project otherwise.

So here’s what we are doing. Since The Real Cape television show needs to be just as real as this website, in conjunction with the production company, we are holding an open casting call for all of you Cape Cod characters. This isn’t going to be some shallow show about sunsets and lighthouses, this is going to be about what really makes Cape Cod tick. Our goal here has always been to shine a national spotlight on the real Cape Cod and we’ve found the perfect company to do it with.

We are looking for the fisherman, the businessmen, the locals and the washashores. We are looking for the carpenters, the bankers and the quahoggers. We are looking for the people that are salty and the people that are saline, we are looking for the people of The Real Cape.

Do you know someone who you’ve always thought should be on television? Let them know about this casting call so we can find the hidden gems that make Cape Cod the Cape Cod that the rest of the country doesn’t know about. Let’s do this together and show the world what makes us such a great community. Let’s show the world The Cape that has culture, let’s show them The Cape that is thriving, The Cape that we love… The Real Cape.

The production team is flying in from Los Angeles over Thanksgiving and we’ve set up a casting call for Saturday November 29th. The executive producers will be on hand with cameras in tow at The Beach House in North Falmouth at 7 Nathan Ellis Highway (corner of 151 and 28A) from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Please share this post so everyone hears about this opportunity, this casting call is come one, come all, so let’s come together as a community and make a bad ass TV show that represents us the way we want to be represented.

Vineyard Gazette – Rasmus Sayre, a senior at the Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School, took home the championship title in the Kona One class on Wednesday [November 5, 2014], after five days of racing in Islamorada, Florida. Sayre, 17, won six of 12 races.

One hundred and six sailors representing 13 countries took part in the competition, according to a press release. Danish windsurfer Tim Aagesen picked up the silver medal.

Rasmus wasn’t the only Sayre to compete at Worlds. His father, Nevin, a former world champion himself, took third place. Older sister Solvig finished 11th.

Jesus Mary and Joseph, it’s not even fair how badly Cape Cod is dominating this year. We’ve got big league pitchers winning awards, billboard chart topping singers, the future Miss Massachusetts, and the list just keeps getting bigger as we add a windsurfing world champion.

No wonder the New York Times said Cape Codders are doing so great. It’s probably just a matter of time before someone from Cape Cod cures cancer and builds a colony on Mars. Is there anything that Cape Codders can’t do?

CapeNews.net – Nu Psi, the Cape Cod chapter of Sigma Phi Gamma international sorority, will be holding a meat raffle fundraiser on Saturday, November 22, at the Bourne VFW, 180 Shore Road in Bourne, from 3 to 7 PM.

Sigma Phi Gamma is a non-academic, nonprofit organization that gives women the opportunity to meet and make new friends while serving their communities.

Proceeds from the projects benefit needy families by helping them buy food, clothing and toys for children during the holidays.

First things first, there are sororities that have nothing to do with a college? What the hell do they do? Do they all live in the same house and if so where the hell is it? If not then where do they have their lingerie pillow fights? If you take away the lingerie pillow fights I’m pretty sure you can’t call it a sorority by law.

As if that’s not confusing enough, now we throw in a meat raffle and a VFW? What planet are we on? A non collegiate sorority is holding a contest with war heroes to win dead cows?

I’m not sure if you’ve noticed, but I don’t really have anything to say here, just a billion questions. This is so preposterous that when I was writing the title I was thinking that nobody would believe it’s actually real, it’s like an Onion article or something. Seriously… a sorority, red meat, and soldiers of war. Seems legit…

P.S. How awesome would it be if when vegetarians died they ended up trapped in VFWs at meat raffles for all of eternity?

NY Times – The Upshot came to this conclusion by looking at six data points for each county in the United States: education (percentage of residents with at least a bachelor’s degree), median household income, unemployment rate, disability rate, life expectancy and obesity. We then averaged each county’s relative rank in these categories to create an overall ranking.

Well would you look at that? Cape Cod just keeps on coming up roses. We are the darkest shade of green possible. Look at the parameters from the article, I guess this means we are the smartest, wealthiest, jobbiest, non cripplediest, longest living, skinny people in the country. Even this guy wishes he could live here…

This level 3 sex offender guy in his white “God Bus” seems to be touring the state now. We may have driven him out of Cape Cod but now he seems to be settling into the South Shore. He’s been seen in Plymouth, Pembroke and Duxbury. He may think he beat the system and doesn’t have to register and announce his arrival in town but he obviously doesn’t know about the power of the internet and real time information sharing.

For more info on this guy CLICK HERE and then CLICK HERE

 

Homeboy is a level 3 sex offender, meaning he is “at a high risk to re offend”, and he’s travelling around in a diddle factory on wheels. Let’s blow this guy up wherever he goes to keep people informed. The court says that the public has a right to now if he is in their town so let’s exercise our rights. If anyone sees the bus send us a picture with location and we will track it. Share this with anyone you know between Cape Cod and Boston and lets keep the flashlight firmly upon his location.

P.S. Before you comment and say that this is an invasion of privacy, Google “level 3 sex offender”. And remember, his record in Mass is only the tip of the iceberg, he has a long history of violence in New York including sexual assault on a minor.

If you see this bus snap a pic and send it with the location to [email protected] and we’ll share its location.

Sometimes we get so bogged down and desensitized by the grind of daily life that we forget to look at our surroundings. It’s nice to take a few minutes every once in a while to remind yourself that you get to spend every day in a place that many people only hope to visit once in their lives.

Take a minute to remember with a few cool videos of the place you call home…

The northeast domination by Dunkin’ Donuts is no surprise, but what the hell is going on here Cape Cod?

Really? The Double Mocha CappaLatteChino Grande has taken over the peninsula? Is this real life? There could only be one thing to blame for this…

Dunkins refusal to give out wax paper with their donuts and coffee rolls has to be to blame. This new policy has to be one of the greatest blunders of modern times, and complaining will only get you a napkin. I have probably eaten 3.7 pounds of napkin fiber over the last year because it sticks to my coffee roll. I love me some Dunkin’ Donuts, but even my patience is wearing thin. I just can’t live like this anymore Dunkin’. I am begging you, please bring back the piece of wax paper, it never deserved to be abandoned in the first place.

P.S. I still don’t believe this chart, so let’s put it to a vote…

thanks to wisha for the tip
