Castine Maine - Subculture Climate Evident throughout Blue Hill Peninsula, Castine Especially Sunny

 

It makes no sense at all to listen to the Weather Channel but lets be thankful they don’t run the country, imagine their economic predictions, gloom tomorrow followed by a period of darkness and then more gloom . Think about it, the weather channel is ruled by a group of hard core number crunchers who never found any fun as a kid stomping their shoes in a puddle. They are so afraid of liability they pasteurize the weather to pacify the insurance giants and those prissy masses fond of saying "you'll never make it". They hedge their bets by homogenizing the country’s weather.

 

It maybe raining outside the Blue Hill peninsula but inside the Pentagoet Inn in Castine Maine it’s a Luau every night and you don’t have to wear a pith helmet or a short sleeve tropical outfit to prove you're having fun and we can do all those funny boat drinks but you may have to bring your own paper parasols, they are on back-order. Rain or Shine our staff will bring you the sunny side up, everyday all day, no “weather permitting” excuses here like the babies at the Weather Channel. My staff is equipped with a frown proof attitude that breathes of sun bursts and futures so bright you will have to wear welding glasses. Try us! www.pentagoet.com., 1-207-326-8616, 26 Main St. Castine, Maine.

Castine Maine - The Hotel Pentagoet Friendship Hall of Fame inducts the Clan Cannatti of Austin Texas

Remember the Jackson Five? Well you won’t forget the Cannatti Three and their new hit release under the Phipps label, “No Pentagoet, No Cry!”  According to confirmed groupie Jack Burke "its a compelling, compassionate tribute to Bob Marley’s influence on lead singer Luigi".  Pictured above in this recent CD cover photo by Annie Liebovitz of Rolling Stone and released by the Austin American Statesman they are from the left, Lungmaster Luigi on vocals, the internationally known heartthrob Magnificent Marcella on bass guitar and "I Double Dare You!" Claire on drums.  The Cannatti Three will be playing at the Zilker Park in Austin this August 7, tickets go on sale nationwide today!

It gives me great pleasure to introduce The Cannatti Three and reaffirm a “Pentagoet Promise” rarely bestowed upon our guests, a lifetime of unlimited soda gun usage! These rights are hereditarily transferable to any of the Clan Cannatti and it is my sincerest hope that my brothers and sisters in the restaurant industry throughout our very vital nation will honor said pledge to include their Cannatti friends who occupy a "Pretty Good Friend” level or higher on the CFC, the Cannatti Friendship Chart. The “Most Favored Guest" status which was conferred upon the Cannatti Three in 2007 during their state visit is still in place as the board of Directors of the Hotel Pentagoet recently voted this honor in perpetuity which is quite frankly, irrevocable. Alert the media, these kids are up for a knighthood. I’ll know more when the Queen Mum returns my call.
