Tonight (Thursday) the Art House. Jersey City's longest running Spoken Word/Music/all things verbose, dedicates this monthly installment for National Poetry Month. There are 5 minute slots available for signup at the door at 8pm. This is not a stoop sale so don't try to come early for a bargain slot. You can stoop by my sale this Sunday as I unload some vintage clutter at 516 Jersey Ave. I'll be up and running around 9 am and be exhausted by 5 pm. I'll have to rain check my own Mostly Sunny volleyball day for some rent money. Come by to haggle and heckle me. But for some real Vintage Treats, celebrate Another Mans Treasure Grove Street One Year Anniversary Sale on Saturday. It's 10 percent Everything.
