Happy Friday, everyone! And a very happy Mother’s Day to you Moms out there, who are living in a country which celebrates it on Sunday. (I mean, best wishes to the rest of you, too, obviously.)

– Boston Magazine tells us what it was like to sail aboard the Gronk Party Ship. In short: DRUNK. Also, full of people who didn’t realize what was going on, because apparently said party ship did not sell out. This whole thing is really quite entertaining.”What is Gronk’s brand? Gronk’s brand is frat-row joie de vivre. Gronk’s brand is posing shirtless for a magazine spread while draped in kittens. Gronk’s brand is humping a duck boat during the Super Bowl victory parade while wearing a Minions hat.” Also of note, re: the boat itself, “The Pearl’s claims to fame include hosting the band Kiss five separate times, as well as causing a power outage that affected the entire European continent while passing through the Ems River in Germany in 2006.”
