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.

See the flyer above for more info. This is a good opportunity for beginners who want to explore their creative side. This is also the theme behind the next art opening at the Mary Bensen Gallery.

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. Click here to see what they look like!The details on e'erythang:Saturday Nov 10th at 10pmClash Bar39 Harding Ave, Clifton, NJ 07011The dance lesson pre-game show:Earlier that day at 6-8 (it's flexible):215 McWhorter St. Apt. 1, Newark, NJ 07105 See ya!Billy
