The World is Sinking - and will go under at 9 pm tonight

OK, since I haven't been able to get my blog out before Babyhole (tonight @ 9pm).
This one is just for you, Mellisa, sweet Gynocult Leader.

Babyhole, is a not-for-poets open mike comedy night. There is usually a musical guest, and she also books comdians whom range from stand up to sketch.

As a special incentive to the ladies, Mellisa is throwing in a secret prize (most likely a pregnancy kit from the 99 cent store) for the first female open mike performer. (see message below)

BabyHole has been running since September and no woman has ever signed up for the open mic. Just guys who don't seem to get laid.So the first lady to sign up for BabyHole Open Mic (for stand up, sketch and musical comedy) will win a prize. I don't know what yet, but it will probably include a bottle of champagne that I'll be forced to drink by myself if no woman signs up by 9:30 pm.

Don't worry about Mellisa drinking alone though, word on the street is that she has a bun in the oven.

17 Year Cicada - New Works by Kayt Hester

SAT 08/24 @ 9pm Port-o- Lounge he 17 Year Cicada – New Art Work by Kayt Hester – opens August 24th at Port- O Lounge, one of the handful of downtown Jersey City restaurants/art galleries that, by presenting to new audiences, up & coming and established local artists, are transforming the New York Metropolitan area Art World. As the title of the exhibition suggests, this edition of the yearly Hester Summer Showcase coalesces around the theme of Magicada Cicadas – the species of cicadas that only appear every 17 years. Her more recent work also expands her use of texture and color. Augmenting her black masking tape are new, extraordinary details made of brightly colored, metallic tape. She also has incorporated embroidery to canvases, essentially embedding 21st century needlepoint within her tape illustrations.

The Attic Ensemble Presents

Nov 7 to 18h @ Barrow Mansion | August, 1949. A fascinatingly realistic picture of routine cases brought into a bustling metropolitan police station in the course of an evening. Out of the welter of human misery, vice and foolishness there emerges the moving case of a decent young man who has stolen money from his employer; a hardened criminal dragging his young friend down with him; a lawless NJ "gardener" with a corrupt lawyer; and others. In the throes of the tumult is Detective McLeod -- a man whose black & white vision of justice will be challenged by the woman he loves most: his wife. A cast of 22 men and women will bring this drama of truth and consequences to life on the stage.
