a new ending

Well if you haven't heard. I am no longer employed at law firm that I worked at for the last 9 years. It's time for me to stop living someonelse's dreams and make a full time pursuit of my own interests. Which are simply put; to make a better impact on this community, by doing what I love - throwing parties and events at 58 and through-out JC/NYC/USA/EARTH, touring the world with American Watercolor Movement. That's what I will be focusing in on. Also I think there's an acting career and some stunt double work, but let's get to that later.

Tonight, is a political stop at City Hall to discuss the new proposes drafted by Steve Fulop regarding the entertainment ordinance. I would have mentioned this earlier but I just found out about it myself. Save January 9th on your calender because this baby may be up for a final vote that day.

On Friday the 28th, there's a dance party at my friend Jayne's place. She lives at the Firehouse by Marco and Pepe. I am DJ-ing along with the Cat Juggler and special guests. Please be kind and be ready to give $5 at the door. There will be booze and food there !! The address is 38 Mercer Street. There's a big red garage door. party starts at 9 pm.

New Year's Eve American Watercolor Movement plays at Maxwell's. We are opening for Dean and Britta (ex-Luna). Show starts at 10 pm. we'll be on shortly after doors open since Dean and Britta play the before 2008.

58 will also have our annual New Year's Eve Celebration party. The Meltdowns, and the alabastards play with DJ's Lex, Spyker, Astronaut, DJ Soul and mEgan scheduled. It's gonna be a long night, better pack breakfast. doors 9pm, $10 suggested donation before 2am $5 after.

The final push

Okay shoppers here we go into the final week. Prices are getting cut, but the real decline will be after the numbers fall short for the holidays and store look to unload everything at even greater savings. My advice get yourself a copy of it's A Wonderful Life and wait it out.

The week is a holiday party festival at teh Lamp Post. Tonight's Street Justice's Holiday Party features DJ Justin (Black Hollies) spinning. Thursday my Santa Baby Ali, will elf you ass and Sanck Attck spins, On Friday DJ Caligula makes a toasty dancefloor, breaking out his new laptop. and finally on Saturday DJ Cat Jugler spins for the Ugly X-Mas Sweater Holiday Party.

Join the Masquerade

Special Thanks to the Swigs and Billy of the Meltdowns for performing for the closing party @ 58. John Fesken's work must come down for our next show, Women of Color, painting by John Besante, who if you don't know is really the king of art in Jersey City. While other developers, bulldoze down art communities in favor of lux condos, John Besante owns 3 galleries in Jersey City, 58, es ORO, and the Mary Bensen galleries are the children of John Besante. so come see the work of the father of art in Jersey City on Friday. Dr. Shakes and D2 are preparing a special video installation for the opening. On Thursday Evening, Nuygen Smith takes over the Mary Bensen gallery with Inside Editions, a host of cool cheap artwork. On Wednesday, Art House Productions sposors the Cosi Gallery Art Opening for Andy Castillo 6 to 8 pm.








Tonight, Melissa Surach finally throws a candy cane to the poetry clubbers of JC. Maybe it's her heart growing 3 times, but special Guest St. Patrick will be there to wax her back. Afterwards, head over to the Lamp Post for my special guest DJ alternative for tonight.


On Wednesday, Greg D plays out in Brooklyn at Vox Pop, and the Division of Planes are at Maxwell's. Tree and John Shell are playing some drinking songs at 169 Bar at 11pm. And the nenwly formed The Poconos plays at the Delancy at 8 pm. Locally, Autumn will be hosting Trivia Night at Barrow Street Bar.

Thursday Greg D's Lunar Ensemble plays the Knitting Factory and Sophelia (AWM members) play at 169 bar on the early side at like 7 pm.

Hala is celebrating her 5th year with a masquerade ball. In the words of Elvis Costello " you better look sharp"

REMINDER:Holidays At The Loew's Jersey: Santa, Miracles & Mary Poppi
Posted by: "solan" loewsjersey@gmail.com solan
Thu Dec 13, 2007 8:52 pm (PST)
Friday and Saturday, December 14-15, the Landmark Loew's Jersey willget in the Holiday Spirit with two classic family films and a visitfrom Santa Claus himself!Friday, December 14 at 7:30PMMiracle on 34th StreetStarring Edmund Gwenn, Maureen O'Hara & Natalie Wood.(1947, B&W, 96 mins.)60th Anniversary Screening! Holiday-themed movies tend not to be takenseriously by critics, and often sink into a morass of excesssentimentality. The original "Miracle on 34th Street" broke thosemolds. And while the script can be called heart-warming, it refuses tobecome mushy. The movie can be enjoyed on its most basic level, as astory about a kindly man working as a department store Santa who,because he believes he really is Santa Claus, must defend his sanity.But the sharp script also deftly mixes sly comedy and pointedcommentary with its tender drama, to make one of the most successfulfilm commentaries about the over-commercialization of the Holidays aswell as a thoughtful rumination on the nature of faith itself. Inaddition to its clever premise, the film boasts smart characters,great acting, tight pacing, and one of the most memorable - andparodied - climaxes in film history. Don't miss this chance to see iton "the big screen."PLUS - There will be a short Holiday "Sing-Along" concert before thefilm, led by the Loew's massive pipe organ, which is now beingfine-tuned after years of restoration!

Saturday, December 15 from 12:30PM to 3:30PMVisit Santa Here! This is not a classic film - but a classic Holidayritual.Free.For the thirteenth consecutive year, The Jolly Old Elf will be on handat the Landmark Loew's Jersey to greet visitors and listen to theirHoliday wishes. Everyone is welcome - including PETS! (Pet owners areasked to come between 2:20PM and 3:30PM.) The visit with Santa isFREE. A digital photo with Santa costs just $3, but bring a new,unwrapped toy for a needy child and the photo will be free as our"Thank You."PLUS - Every child that comes to see Santa will receive a coupon for$1 off the cost of a child's admission to that evening's screening of"Mary Poppins"!Saturday, December 15 at 6PMMary PoppinsStarring Julie Andrews & Dick Van Dyke(1964, Color, 140mins.)The first Disney film ever to be nominated for Best Picture, MaryPoppins collected a total of 13 Oscar nominations - more than anyother musical - and collected five statues, including Best Actress forJulie Andrews. Andrews is perfect in the title role of a mysticalnanny who literally falls from the sky and into the lives of twolonely children in Edwardian London. Soon, she is taking them onadventures in a cartoon world and riding a puff of smoke over thecity's rooftops. Director Stevens mixes a few bits of darkness intohis musical comedy, with one song that is surprisingly melancholy andthe brooding, surreal scenes of stylized London rooftops. Of course,much of the film is filled with playful goofiness. The effect of thiscontrast is to make the magic at the core of the story seem morebelievable - and that is one of the secrets of Mary Poppins' timelesspopularity. The classic from Disney is loved by every new generation.This Holiday Season, re-live your memories and create new ones withyour children.Each screening is $6 for adults, $4 for seniors & children 12 yearsold and younger. Combo discounts are available for multiple screenings.Call (201) 798-6055 or visit www.loewsjersey.org for more info.

Saturday December 15 - galapagos
from The Deli:
I know Christmas parties aren't very Rock and Roll, but here at The Deli we have a very good reason to throw one: to actually see each other's face! This crazy modern world is so impersonal that, believe it or not, most of the peeps who contribute to our magazine have never met each other!
You might think: "where do I come into the picture then?". Well you come into the picture now, because we haven't met 90% of our readers either, you impresonal sons of The Big Apple!
The party in question will be at Galapagos on Saturday December 15.
Doors will be $6 (if you sign the Deli's mailing list, otherwise $8).
We have a very cool line up with 5 emerging NYC bands (of course!) we really dig. It goes something like this:
8.45 - Weird Owl - (Weird) Owls are not what they seem. This band's music is the perfect soundtrack for one of those Lynchian doped up parties - Galapagos even has red curtains!
9.30 - Susu - "Susu salvages choice scraps from the post-grunge sound, using urgent guitars and call-and-response vocals to create a thick, humid atmosphere." - Time Out, New York
10.15 - Seasick - the band - fronted by Persian/Latvian Jasmine Golestaneh - manages quite incredibly to strike that magic balance between dark intensity, creativity, sensuality and powerful songwriting that made Jim Morrison and co.'s music so strangely addictive. - The Deli 11.00 - Ravens and Chimes - "The New York-based quintet sounds like a more confident Bright Eyes or maybe a folksier version of Wolf Parade (minus their anthemic song structure leanings). They're pretty darn cool and they're hitting the spot right about now." - Nik Mercer / BibaBidi
11.45 Lismore - Lismore sounds like Matt & Kim’s cousins from the wrong side of the tracks. A little grimier, a little less pop-y and a little more of an edge. - Bigstereo

Hi,We're playing Maxwell's on Wednesday 12/12 with Ludlow Lions and Object. There is much anticipation around this: we get to see some great bands that night too, we have new songs and broken gear. It's true, Jerel busted part of his bass the day of our last show. We all want to know, Will it be repaired in time? Or, will our pal Matt "clutch" Porter be called upon again for the use of his bass? The only way to find out is to come out to Maxwell's and have a great time with us!

We Come in PEACE PARTY friday

thank you to everyone who searched for my auto, the Golden Nugget last night, as you may have heard, my car was found without the $500 worth of alcohol I bought for Friday's Party. At least the kids on Columbus Avenue had a good time. it will take them most of the weekend to finish it up. in the spirit of this party I will end this paragraph .

I restocked the booze etc and am setting up for tomorrow.

Here's the deal if you aren't aware.

dress: someone who has come in PEACE ; hippies aliens etc.
time: 9 pm to late door : $5 in costume (rock the theme please it's easy) no costume no party ? there's plenty to drink, eat, and dance. I am hiring a cleaning service after you guys leave so, if $5 is too much for you to pay, then please go kindly somewhere else and spend your money.

dj's : Bill MCCamie, Cootah, astronaut, dancing t, plus you (itunes kitchen) peace out, tony 516 Jersey Ave Jersey City, NJ 07302201fbi-auto 973-219-9696

on more important thing. I really could use some help setting up tomorrow, it's been 2 years since I have had a party at my place so as you can imagine, there a lot of work to be done. call me if you can help set-up

Be Better

Get out d' vote

Polls are open until 8 pm on Tuesday. I usually publish the recommendations of those persons more political than I such as Mia Scanga and Tris McCall, but since the candidates in the 33rd District are running unopposed, my recommendation is to write-in the Man from the Party Party "Dancing" Tony Susco. My first act as supreme leader will be to abolish the Parking Authority and make all of our citizens ride mopeds.

The Very talented Thomas Carlson is offering Painting Classes.

Comrades, Howdy!Quite a few individuals have demanded to be taught The Dance (which needs a name... the Waterboard Wiggle?) that we do at our shows so that they can do it with us. We've been really flattered, and we think that's very awesome, so for the show we have coming up next Saturday (the 10th) at Clash Bar, we're going to hold an informal dance lesson at my place before the gig. Anyone is welcome to come to my house that isn't psycho; there will be beers, some food, and then y'all can go to a bar and get sloppy while we go set up for the gig. Also, we have some really awesome bands playing with us! The Porchistas from Montclair will have you singing along merrily about PBR. (They have 3 songs about Pabst Blue Ribbon.) The Imperialists from Brooklyn will have you singing along merrily about chocolate, fucking the government, and being totally awesome, they are an amazing band. The Slow Learners from DC are a kick ass touring funk and groove band from Washington DC. Listen to them here! Party dance music to kick the night off. The Meltdowns will play last, so I think we can all look forward to getting our dance on all night long. One last thing: we have a hot new t-shirt specifically fitted for girls. We'll have them at the show.

scary : spiced up

Update: Party on Saturday was a rocker. Missed it ? Don't worry. Dancing Tony's Halloween Party at teh Lamp Post is this Wednesday. The Super Karaoke Fun Time Band plays again, this timne with you at teh lead. Prizes for Best Performace, Most Horrific and Best Costume.

Tonight : Tuesday : Babyhole at Toyeater with I am judging the Mr. and Mrs. Killtown Costume Contest. Dress up. Halloween is not even here yet.

All Dressed Up and Someplace to Go

Last Night I Dreamt, that somebody loved me....If you missed our Morrissey/The Smiths Night at the Lamp Post, well you missed it. It was a brooding you shouldn't have missed. Thanks to Cootah for coming up with this one. And thanks to DJ Snack Attack and Caligula for making it come through. Tonight My Roommate DJ William McCamie playsat Bar 13.

With Morrissey crying in a corner, at Hammerstein Ballroom, we should turn our attention to another tragedy. And that would be the fact that I still don't have a costume and it's Halloween weekend. Rock Soup Studio's is having a Masquerade Ball at 660 Grand Street tonight. Tomorrow Night, Toy Eaters is Hosting the Ghost of Uncle Joe's Party. With all of the shit that has gone down over the last month, the multi faceted Super Karaoke Fun Time Band is stepping in to fill play the Black Stooges. Shell Shag was unfortunately unable to serve us the Ramones. So if you know of the ultimate cover band send them our way. Doors are at about 8 pm. BYOB OK. I've heard that some of the old school Uncle Joe's kids will be at the Cork Screw on Saturday Night as well.

Tonight, the SKFTB is at the Corkscrew and on Halloween Night, they will be at the Lamp Post dressed as the Kinks. Check out their play list here and come dressed as your best Pat Benatar, or David Lee Roth, or Mac McCauglin (Superchunk). There will be prizes for best dressed, best performance, and most horrific.

Speaking of performances, this will be the last weekend to see Maladjusted at art house , tonight could actually be a triple play evening, because you can see the accumulation project, which closes this weekend and also see and extra scary spice Late Night Curiosities at art House this evening. Bring a change of underwear so you can wet yourself freely. Babyhole's Melissa Surach performs (most likely partial clothed - she says it's relief for the heat of performing) . Babyhole also has a Hollweened affair this Tuesday at Toyeaters. I will be judging the Mr. and Ms. Killtown Contest. It's a combination of talent and drinking. I guess it's like pool or darts but with less of an emphasis on scoring ?

If you haven't picked up an outfit, try Another Man's Treasure or World of Style. For something, creepy, cheesy, or sleazy. They'll have you covered. !! World of Style has a live mannequins on Saturday from noon to 2pm.

On the music side, The Grass Roots Art Facility has some live music this evening, There is a Halloween Loft Party with the Coffin Daggers in Hoboken on Saturday and The Plastic Passion Band slips into a coma on Sunday Night at the Knitting Factory. And starting off the woek week, the Ukaladies play the Rodeo Bar.

Okay: I saved the art stuff for last. This Saturday is Newarks's Art Studio tour weekend. Tonight Henry Sanchez has an opeing in Newark. In fact there's a bunch of art stuff in Newark this weekend. check out the City Without Walls Site for more info on the weekend. And last but nit least is teh closing party for Earthscapes at the Mary Bensen Gallery, it presdessor is listed below.

Here are the specs:

212-683-6500
Audience sing-a-longs? Cheap champagne? Balloon animals? Delicious bacon? What more could you want? The Ukuladies are a perpetually touring sister and tap-dancing-cousin act from Winnipeg, Canada with a lust for life and its idle curiosities. The Ukuladies are fraternal twins Genevieve (banjo uke, voice, toy piano, glockenspiel, penny whistle, and kazoo), Jimmy Lou (uke, voice, violin, saw, kazoo), The Nearly Reverend Mary (uke, voice, kazoo, cow moos), and Cousin Bunnie (tap, interpretive dance, toy accordion, party favors and antics). Come and join the "ladies" as they share cowboy love songs, Hawaiian hits, Ruth Wallis medleys, George Fornby favorites, and originals tunes! Manhattan User's Guide says:
"Beauties playing ukes and singing while another does tap dancing, percussion, and props. Last night, they distributed at various times bacon, frosted cookies, scratch-off tickets (I won $4), and champagne (for the "Tiny Bubbles" finale). Check. Them. Out."
