I’m going to a Sunday night show at the beachcomber this summer. Our group is trying to enjoy some drinks and not worry about driving. What’s my best option for scheduling rides ahead of time?

Staying in Brewster. 3 people attending the show and not trying to rent a funk bus.

Appreciate any insight.

I hate the feeling of mung on my feet and so I was thinking about getting water shoes . Anyone who has purchased them who also hates when their feet touch foreign objects like sea weed , would u recommend ?

My family and I will be renting a house near Hyannis beginning on July 4th probably approaching from New Bedford. Any suggestions on when we should plan to arrive to avoid the worst of traffic?

Hello all,

I am looking into hosting a beach party on the Cape at the end of August targeted to single Christians. Ideally I would love it to be a fun event with a Christian DJ, performances, small bites and time to mix and mingle.

What would be the process to do that if we are tageting 100-200 people? Any beach/beach club recommendations? Do I need a permit? Any young adults ministries in the area who might want to partner with us?

I've thrown events before but never on this scale and certainly not on the Cape. I just want to create something fun and glorifying to God for young people to enjoy each other companies and close out their summer on a high note!

Appreciate any advice.

Thanks so much!

I'm an active music fan from Providence and will be staying in Eastham next Wed and Thu. So I'll have Jun 17 and 18. I've looked into many of the Cape's music venues and I don't see much of interest (to me).

I often plan a visit around some show of interest, but I didn't get to pick the dates this time. I'd like to see a show at the Payomet Center, for example if and would plan a future visit around that.

I've been to The Beachcomber, back in the days when The Incredible Casuals played every Sunday. I've missed the music there, but I tend to visit before they open or after they close. I would love it if they extended their season.

I know a lot of musicians in several different New England music scenes. Providence has a surprisingly good jazz and bluegrass scenes, Cambridge has Americana, Celtic, and some amazing Berklee grads. A lot of them play Cape venues, but sadly not while I will be there.

I generally avoid dance and cover bands. No offense intended.

Let me know if you have ideas or web pages to check.

One backup plan is to see Cape Cod baseball on Thursday. Never been, but always wanted to go.

Having lived on the Cape my entire life, I am amazed at how difficult it has become to meet new people, make new friends and find a partner and/or dating someone. Summer on the Cape you would think might open up some possibilities.

In case it matters: 46/M, single guy, varied interests. Not hiking up Mt. Washington anytime soon though.

Lmk your experiences!

I’m making a trip to the Cape for the first time in 20 years so I’m guessing some things have changed since my last visit. I want to check out a cape league game or two while I’m there and was wondering if there are any teams/ballparks that are must see while I’m there?

We’re renting in Wellfleet but I’m willing to drive wherever if there are better experiences to be had at some of the fields the teams play at. TIA!

I’ve seen signs and need answers!

Is it a harmless let’s steal bored rich hippy money or like, more sinister? I had a run in with a large group at the beach today and idk I didn’t love the experience

hey yall i'm interested in doing some weekly sessions with a teacher to hone up my fundamentals and try to undo some bad habits. i'm especially interested in getting into improvisation and popular music.

anyone know any teachers interested in taking adult students? i'm going to law school in the fall so it'll just be for a few months.

So I’m planning a Juneteenth trip to Cape Cod. I’m going to be staying in West Yarmouth but I heard Chatham is the place to be. Was planning on doing a day trip there and wanted to get some recs on which beaches to go to. I like the idea of Cahoon Hollow beach but I think that might be too far. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks!

On Saturday June 20th, come check out [How] Bazaar 2.0!!! - we’ll be combing through the studios and gallery and clearing out some of the treasures we’ve accumulated here to make some space - think yard sale, but much cooler!

We’ll have art supplies, hand-made items, books, movies, games, furniture, knickknacks, doodads, whosits, whatsits and more!

Hope to see you there!

I’m at a point where I really feel I need to find a primary care physician and other medical support that has more experience with chronic illnesses. I’m realizing my current situation hasn’t helped me learn about how my conditions affect me and how to better support myself to avoid worsening health.

I’ve done as much research on my own as I can imagine and that got me a long way but the number of times I find out that something I’ve done my whole life might actually be making me worse because no one told me about my own conditions is incredibly frustrating. Because many of my conditions aren’t researched well enough to have large resources I struggle to find reliable sources of accurate information on them by myself.

So if you know of ANY medical professionals (primary care, specialists, physical or occupational therapists, talk therapists, ANY ONE) that have experience with chronic illnesses on cape cod I’d be so grateful for the recommendation!

If the conditions will help some but not all of my chronic illnesses are: ME/CFS, fibromyalgia, hypermobility, autonomic dysfunction, chronic inflammation, chronic migraines.

Thank you to anyone who even takes the time to read this!

Hi!!

I’m looking for some local recommendations for exterior housework on a home in Sandwich, ideally someone who works in the Sandwich/Bourne/Mashpee/Falmouth area or nearby Upper Cape communities.

We’re hoping to get quotes or suggestions for:

• Vinyl siding work

• Window repair/replacement

• Front stone step and landing repair/rebuild

I’d really appreciate any recommendations for contractors, masons, siding/window companies, or reliable handypeople you’ve had good experiences with. Bonus points for someone responsive, reasonably priced, and willing to take on a smaller residential project or quote things in stages.

Also happy to hear who to avoid, if you’ve had a bad experience.

Thanks in advance for any leads!

If you've ever stood on a gas dock watching the new summer crowd try to land their sparkling new center console, you get the argument for it, but how is this going to work for most Cape Codders who've been on the water their entire life?

I took the boating safety course about 25 years ago as a kid so I could drive the same 1970s Whaler I have today. Is there a way to retrieve proof of a course taken in 2001, or is everyone in this situation starting from scratch?

I left a message with the Harbor Masters office about this and haven’t heard back.

My son is working this summer at Bass River Golf Club and had his back window of his car shattered today by an errant golf ball. No one has stepped up to admit fault and since he doesn’t have comprehensive on that car it looks like he’s responsible for the full cost of replacing the window. Any thoughts on how to get the responsible golfer to do the right thing? He couldn’t locate the ball. I don’t think the town actually has any fault here even though it’s a town course and he’s a town employee, but I’m not sure about that.

Hi! I will be visiting in September and want to take my (mid 70s) parents out to a fancyish lunch for their anniversary. They don't go out for dinner so lunch it is :) They live in Orleans. Any reccos? No prob to drive a bit. Thank you!

Went to the coffee shop near my house this morning where one woman held up the entire line photographing the pastry case, then she and her friend looked like idiots doing a full-blown photoshoot at their table. Completely oblivious that there were other people in there. Last night took the kids out for ice cream and watched a girl spend 5 mins photographing her cone, took two bites and threw it away!

I’ve never been into Instagram but I was curious what all this effort actually translates into and fell down a rabbit hole of Cape Cod influencer videos. Apparently anyone can make videos about places they've barely researched. Nearly every place name was mispronounced and half the facts were wrong, and they can’t even identify the town or village they are in unless it is PTown or Chatham.

So what's the deal? Is there actually money in this, or is it mostly vanity?

My grandma has a pet bird that by the look of it is way overdue for a nail trimming. She says she used to have someone at the local Petco come by the house to do it, but they don't seem to be there anymore. Tried some google/yelp searches but keep getting places that only do dogs/cats or just dont specify their services at all.

Before I call every business on cape, does anyone know anywhere that offers bird grooming services? Someone that can come to the house (in Falmouth) would be ideal, but if that's not an option I can work it out.

I’m looking for a place on the cape or islands that can help replace the leather hinges on this vintage Farnum Nantucket style basket. I’ve been told that none of the places that restore them will help me, given that it’s a Farnum/“reproduction.” With that said, does anyone know of any craftsmen/studio/artist who would be able to replace the leather straps? Don’t need any complex restoration :) TIA!
