A License for Special Entertainment

Friends,

Thanks to everyone who came out for last night's All Jersey Edition of Blackhole. If you haven't checked out JC's only comedy night, you'll have to self-medicate yourself until the next Blackhole on July 25th.

Okay let me start with some bad news, we had to unfortunately postpone Shangri-la until August 18th and 19th. The city is requiriing that we now get a Special Entertainment License for the event. With the prospect of having the event shut down in progress, we feel the best course would be to get the permit and then blow the eff out of it. Save the dates, make sure your bathing suit is clean too.

We are still going to open the gates on Saturday to clear things out for Shangri-la and since Mission Organization also refused our appeal for help. Gate opens at 11 am, come by for some extra ordinary miscellaneous stuff.

Reduce is at The JC Museum Tonight and the Hove is at DC's Tavern. Indigo Hue closes @ the Mary Benson Gallery tomorrow night Johny Astronaut in DJHQ.

Also tomorrow, you have a host of JC bands to see play. Of course if decide not to go see american watercolor movement, sounds of greg d, kilsy, and teh emergency party at the New Luna Lounge. You can check out The Subway Surfer's at Otto's Lounge or Water Under Water, the Meltdowns, and Up the Empire @ The Clash Bar in Clifton. Tris McCall play double duty on Saturday night @ Maxwell's. First playing solo works and then with Kapow!. He will be able to say that he openned ip for the Fiery Furnance's Twice. www.maxwellsnj.com

Good morning!
A big THANK YOU for those who came out to the opening reception of REDUCE! It was a really good time!
Many of the one-of-a-kind artist made tote bags sold during the silent auction in a fierce bidding war, Chef Jade served up some fine food and topped it off with some amazing disappearing oatmeal raisin cookies!
People are blogging about them! Bag the Habit tote bags flew off the shelves-did you get one?...I'll get into all the details of the show in the next online issue of the "A List!" including photos and links. If you have not seen the exhibit we have regular gallery hours:
Thursday-Saturday 3-8PM and by appointment. For appointments at other times please call 201.209.0544 and check out http://www.bagthehabit.com/
Until then, I've got an update of "A List!" events...
