Thursday is the New Friday

Okay. If you are watching the clock waiting for 5pm. Here's your first stop. My roomate, DJ Willliam McCamie is on his way there now.
The weekend starts early thanks to some clever work by God's son. For those of you with tomorrow off (and even if you don't) there's a full week-end ahaed. This Evening, Artist and Curator, Nugyen Smith has an opening reception at the JC Museum. His work SPRAWL will be at the museum for month's ahead. Tonight's reception is from 6 to 8 pm. You can also catch a performace by Nimbus Dance Troup for Grace Church's Maundy Thursday Service at 7pm. Meanwhile, The Ukaladies play Hank's Saloon in Brooklyn at 10 pm and Bryan Benninghove is in Hoboken.

I will be returning to my Dance duties at the Lamp Post tonight. You can expect the dancefloor set up with DJ Cat Juggler and I spinning and Ali making you spin from behind the bar. I'll be hanging around the DJ world all weekend. As on Friday, I'll be spining the closing party for Gordon Fraser's Intoversions on the Third Floor of the Grassroots Arts Facility. The Pocono's and Tremble in the Heat (fmr Savu Sea) rock it out. Things start early so take the day off on Friday.


Afterwards, I plan to head back to the Lamp Post for DJ Caligula's Birthday Dance Party. With DJ Cat Juggler providing cover for the self proclaimed "best dj in jc".


There's more live music to be had on Friday with The Plastiq Passion Band playing at The Fortune Cookie (Lucky Chang's) in the city. WJ and the Sweet Sacrifice along with Roadside Graves are playing at the Trash Bar in Brooklyn. WJ plays atearly (take the day off) at 8pm. Unfortunately for them, but good for you, is an Open Bar from 8 to 9 pm. Make sureyou pass some up to them. They are followed by another JC group the Roadside Graves.


On Staurtday Night, The Subway Surfers Return to JC for a show at the Lamp Post. They are matched with Six to Eight Mathmatics. The Meltdown's play Toyeater's as part of Jen's 30th birthday party. I'll be joining forces with Street Justice for my third straight night of DJ-ing. Have a nice Easter, or whatever you plan to do on Sunday.

SCARY PUPPETS," A MUSICAL FASHION SHOW happens this Friday nite!

Our contribution to the JC Fridays festival here in Beautiful Downtown Jersey City will be a way-out fashion show to complement 18 ERIE GALLERY's opening reception for Virginia Kamenitzer's photographic series, "QUI J'EST?" ("Who Am I?"), inspired by the surreal world of circus performers and children's stories. Our show will feature live models dressed as your favorite vintage puppets. Sure, they'll be wearing fabulous clothes and have fabulous haircuts by Balance, but what could be more disturbing than a bunch of life-sized, self-propelled puppets? Of course the soundtrack will showcase The Swigs' song "Scary Puppets" (now our theme song)! The gallery will also be showing "Raise Your Hand If You Believe in Evolution," a new installation of ceiling art by Mindy Gluck.

PLUS...our makeup artists will be standing by to paint puppet mouths on anyone who wants to be a Scary Puppet!

So come get a puppet face & enjoy the shows, the party and new light sculptures by our resident artist, Norm Francoeur!

And remember kids, no pooping at Balance.
So, take your drunken turds somewhere else!

This Friday is the Spring JC Friday. It will be a good time to come to Jersey City because there's free wine, cheese and art everywhere. I'll be reading essays and modeling vintage clothes at Another Man's Treasure.

" 8pm-? ANOTHER MAN'S TREASUREvintage store presents 'Fetal Soul.' Jersey City's comedic sensation Melissa Surach reads her newest humorous essays and some old favorites, while modeling elegant vintage ensembles. Listen as she makes breaking into cemeteries, sperm whales and little girls in rum barrels look beautifully disgusting. Children are not encouraged. 20 min. show repeated every hour on the hour until no one cares. 109 Brunswick St, 201-610-0211."

I've never been called a "comedic sensation" before, and may never be called one again, so you should come to this. The original description had "Slutty Babies" instead of "Sperm Whales."

http://www.jcfridays.com/

Also, I'm almost out of calendars. You need to buy them soon if you want one. You can get them at Another Man's Treasure, Balance Hair Salon, Imagine Atrium, and Toy Eaters Studio.

Thanks!
Melissa Surach
