Winter hath ended.  Spring hath sprung.  This year the Vernal Equinox coincided with the anniversary of the incarnation of Brother Jerome.  To Celebrate, we, here at The New Great Hall by the Sea held a Circle.

The “Eve of” night cap:

Morning of: egg over vegetables with a drizzle of “2000 Island dressing”:

The Captain in the Crow’s Nest

Brother Jerome and BeachMont Frank (with Captain Cat)

The assembly of “The Four Known Masters of The Circle”, Captain Cat and Chip Adderson appearing for the second time as “The Witness”:

Here is the OFFICIAL Playlist:

Pretty nice, right?

After two full Olympic Four Person Circles, catering was offered.  An Indian Cauliflower and Tofu Masala.

The Witness, transfixed by “Hylas and the Nymphs”

Hylas and the Nymphs:

And then, the cake to end all cakes, Black Midnight Cake with Buttercream frosting by Persephone Haverhast:

a day of The “Flavourhast” indeed.

Visitor Blim left and The Witness tried a spin.

Between song 36 and 37 The Witness played “Eyes Without a Face” by Billy Idol

Between 43 and 44 The Witness played “Handsome Sphinx” by District 78

After song 46 (really 48) The Witness left, concluding a 3rd Full Four Person Olympic Circle. 47-51 was “on call mingling”.  Then, for clean up, we pressed play on the set list.

Wow.

Dishes followed:

All that remains for its’ creator:

The next morning BMF and I met and took the glorious walk from Orient Heights to the T:

Historic walk built up from the pathways from the legendary “Caliyentis” concert that was to take place in the area but was scraped due to zoning issues.  One can only imagine what could’ve been:

Nearing the work place GTs.  We thought Tech Support would be “into” this shot:

BSMXVII via BSMSimulatorIII coming soon!

So, on Monday, I made my way to “The Engine Room” at Zone Duxbury for some smashing rounds of The Circle.

The outdoor hearth.  “Blim Plaza”.  Awaiting demolition:

The Sheikh and The Caliph enjoying the New Art in The Engine Room:

Scenes from a possible “Steven Ghostly and the Triskelion of Hastinine” origin story:

The roaring hearth of the Engine Room

The acclaimed new art

Here is what was played:

Pretty nice, right?

Looking ahead, Monday March 20th we are hoping to have a Circle for the Masters Event.  If interested in participating in this rare and exclusive event, make contact.  Imagine the glory of being a “Witness” …

In a very rare free winter Thursday, BMF and I took the red line to Braintree.  Janice pict us up and off to the Crossroads (nka “Kono’s) we went. Mr Y delighted us with his exceptional attendance. A few laughs, some filming, keno, Manhattans for the dypsomaniacs, and a very, very, tremendous meal. Here are some of the photographs:

En route to the “T” Mr Y graciously invited us to “The Parlour at Lone Pine” where an impromptu Circle took place. DGTs followed:

A hand written playlist:

Pretty nice, right?

Back in the city, BMF and I “took the long way home”,  stopping for Chinese nachos, crab Rangoon, keno, and Scorpion bowls. Still not satiated, we hit the pool hall:

The pool hall was empty.

Equipt with an Internet juke box, as you can well imagine: the music was perfect.
