Jersey City may be cutting it's budget on Fireworks (actually, they have been canceled) but that doesn't equate to us cancelling the annual July 4th BBQ and Volleyball. NOPE, it means another DIY opportunity in Jersey City.


Jersey City Festival of Lights Party (no relation to the Hannukah)

BBQ
Volleyball
Karaoke
Dance party

Noon to Doom. (set-up at 11 am)

Folks here's what we need to do, without burning down half of Jersey City, we need to illiminate the coast. So bring flash lights, colored lights, glow sticks, and think abourt a way that we let launch a giant, illuminated balloon to let Macy's know that we blew our fireworks money on crack. :) JC's infamous Illuminiationist NORM FRANCOUR filling the minivan. I plan to bring a generator so we have a power source.

If all goes according to plans once dusk comes, we will have an illuminated, karaoke, dance party on the waterfront.

WHAT TO BRING (text me or message below)

Bring Games :

We have the volleyball net set up, but only 12 people can play at once so check your parents garage for :
Horseshoes, Paddleball, Bocce, Frisbee

Bring Food for the BBQ:
We will have two grills :

I am marinating a coupel of london broils and veggies for the griil. Burgers and Hot Dogs are covered, but how about some chicken, or somefunky type of sausages, veggie burgers ? or better yet help cook.

Bring something to drink : 

I am bringing two cases of water and soda, and making some lemonade. Jersey City Police frown upon bringing a keg to the park so use your f*cking brain folks and maybe make some punch. also we will most likely Big Red Plastic cups 16oz.

Help DJ ?
Help Clean-up ?
Help Norm set-up his lights ?


If you haven't gotten the point yet, if your idea of contributing to a group is just showing up with a pack of cigarettes, do me a favor and find another BBQ. Thanks I love you Jersey City but it's time you got your sh+t together
Message up on what you can Bring.

Give You Shelter or Exile on Grove Street

With perhaps some strange irony,  Delexilio and their Cuban-rock-dance stylings will perform in exile, as Groove on Grove takes shelter at Bar Majestic tonight.  Delexilio plays in support their self titled debut album, Delexilio, here's a review. The weathered walls of Bar Majestic should be a great back drop for the Revolution. The party platform continues with Forbidden Fruit, bringing the Original Reggae Soul to help keep you moving at Island Speed. Show starts at 6pm.

This Friday, please help 58 and welcome Plausible Inventions. works by Nicolas Lampert and Colin Matthes. DJ Scott FREE spins all night,  with a special performance by Fancy Colors (members Jupiter One) at 9 pm sharp.

Plausible Inventions is a collaborative installation by Nicolas Lampert and Colin Matthes that addresses a world engulfed in its own technology. Lampert and Matthes transform the gallery into an “inventors workshop” of low-tech machines, hybrid creatures, blueprints, drawings, notes, models, survival objects, and scrap leftovers that are both fantastical and commonplace.



Nicolas Lampert is a Milwaukee / Chicago interdisciplinary artist focusing on collage, graphic art, street art, collective art practices, and writing. Primarily, he is known for the series “machine-animal collages” that has been exhibited in many formats from the streets to zines to community art spaces to the MASS MoCA and the MOMA. www.machineanimalcollages.com. Collectively, he works with the Justseeds Artist's Cooperative. www.justseeds.org


Colin Matthes is a Milwaukee artist who works across a range of media including drawing, sculpture, installation, public art, print, and collective projects. His work has been exhibited in galleries in New York, Denmark, Spain, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Austria. This summer he will travel to Belgium to complete a residency at Scheld’apen. He works collectively with Justseeds Artist’s Cooperative (Justseeds.org). His website is colinmatthes.com

hey I'll comment on my own post for HUMBY
DANCING PHONY TONYS POST IS SO BORING

She who laughs last, laughs best

Melissa Surach's Babyhole will take it's final laugh tomorrow night at the Lamp Post. Ms. Surach,  who works tirelessly (performance evaluations available upon request) at three different jobs to put her dog dirty through obedience school, pulled babyhole out of a black-hole of absent comedy in Jersey City. Now, three years after first stealing tips to feed her penchant for alcohol, Jersey City's longest running comedy night will have it's last laugh this Tuesday Night.

To mark this special occasion,  the new owner's of the Lamp Post are keeping the kitchen and back dining room open until 10 pm. When the last plate is cleared, Melisa will set up her joke warehouse for the last time.  Special musical guest, Ace Case and the Cross Country All-Stars play first,  Mike Recine hosts, with  stand up performances by Rosie Rebel,  Mark Normand. and sketch comedy from local comedy troupe Upset Triangle .  Along the way, the final six slots for local comics will be be partitioned off.  Remember, it may be easy to be a wise-ass, but  it takes guts to put your funny where your mouth is.  Don't miss tonight's punch line.

If the end of babyhole had brought you down, recover on Wednesday with the return of Groove on Grove to our outdoor location. Menacing clouds forced last Wednesday's classical performance indoors to Bar Majestic, but Manouche Bag and the Bryan Beninghove Trio will be tent-less for this installment. Bryan, who also performs at Skinner's Loft for Saturday Brunch will starts things off at 6 pm. At 7pm he joins  Manoche Bag, the french jazz-gypsy ensemble fronted by Madame Claude's proprietor Mattias Gustafsson. The stage is set for  a french resistance not worth missing.  Also, if you misssed there perforamce after lats Sunday's very sucessfull 10 mile Jersey City Bike Tour by Bike JC,  Grove Street Bikes, will reprise their BMX bike demo in between acts.

Hello, I must be going.

After first reluctantly djing at the Lamp Post on Tuesday Nights nearly 3 years ago. I officially resigned form my (no longer mine)  lamp post yesterday. It's not that I didn't enjoy there finally being a lock on the men's bathroom, or the fact the new owners removed that crappy espresso machine and dirty ass popcorn machine, it's just time for me to move on, oh who am I kidding, you, me?

Anyway, my roommate Bill McCamie ( ie MY NEW SINGLE IS AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD ON ITUNES) has his first Thursday Night gig at the newly renovated Hamilton Inn. It's an all night Happy Hour tonight.

Well like I said I must be going ....
gone

doing more with less (information)

jason cieradowski from American Watercolor Movement tonight at Bar Majestic | Board of Education Election or 3a + 5a = 8a

Hey registered voters and music affectionados,

 

Jason Cieradowski of American Watercolor Movement is performing free tonight (Tuesday) at Bar Majestic. He will be joined by AWM's drummer/beat master Brain Wilson. The show is free and starts at 8pm.

 

Before you come, make sure you vote in the Jersey City Board of Education. My recommendation is Carol Lester 5A, she was instrumental in establishing the Learning Community Charter School,  and is endorsed by One Jersey City and Stephen Fulop. Councilman Fulop is also endorsing candidates who occupy the 3A and 8A spots. So just remember 3a + 5a = 8a, that's algebra.

 

You can get a profile of all of the candidates at www.jerseycityindependent.com
