grove on grove on or in through the outside

hey all blogger was down yestersday (Wednesday) but Groove on Grove is on for today (yesterday)

Thanks to All of the team the participated in the Kickball Scrimmage last Saturday. We raised $400 for the Jersey City Boys and Girls Club. Now that you guy and gals got your feet (and other places) wet, we can move on to the next phase of athletic development, the Kickball Olympics, Save Saturdays September 19th for the Qualifiers and October 17th for the Finals. If you were part part of the original 8 let me know cause I am holding a spot for you. We are going to take on an additional 4 teams. More to follow on this.... but let me offer

Congrats to the White Star Team for placing first in the scrimmage. Their center fielder, who caught about every fly ball, Coop, was awarded the MVP, a $100 certificate from the Jersey City Tattoo Company and a $100 Gift Certificate to their namesake Falling just short, and unfortunately having to play in consecutive games, team Easy Riders were unable to beat this powerhome team. Their efforts or outfits did not go unnoticed. With players like the The Puerto Rican Pickle and Team Capitains fashion flavor, they were clearly deserving the Another Man's Treasure Gift Certificate On the field, Enver, who scored 6 runs on one play was awarded a MVP hair cut from Balance Hair Salon along with a gift certificate for Carla's new business Groovy Sex Toy Party Team Easy Riders Cheerleaders also manged to steak away the pair of Nine Lives skate shop's I Love JC shirts for their drum rolling and enthusiasm. The Runs, who hoped to take the Kunstballers ( 58 Team) for a ride, and Kickin it Old School, who took a short cut out of the comptition both got some hats and tees from Grove Street Bicycles . Early Exiters, Zombie Apocolyse, who will hopefully return with the help of a Boomerangs Consignment Gift Certificate. The Bad News Beers, who almost rumbled with the Kunstballers over some waterballon violations (please note that beers main ingredient is water) got some sweet 58 T-shirts. Thanks also to the Purple Cobras for playing.

Even thought it's raining now, things are supposed to clear and be cooler for the 6 pm Groove on Grove tonight. Brooklyn's Ben Franklin starts it off and the Poconos will be under the tent.

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.
