Hey all thanks to everyone who came out to my birthday and/or the Any Day Parade Reunion show. Thanks to Carol for awesome decorations, Autumn, Ross, and Orlando for bar tendering, and Joey and Jay for cleaning up.
As for 58 my friends, I'll be taking off some time from putting on shows at 58 so I can focus on hopefully making some history with my kids, Thomas Francis Takes His Chances. I've been trying to hard pull off to many things at once at need to re-focus. If your band is interested inperforming at 58 you can contact orlando directly at orlando(at)fifty8.com. Or call Jon Besante at 201-420-0202. Thanks to 58 for allowing me to put these shows on and getting my rep.
The kickball finals originally scheduled for this Saturday have been moved to Sunday. I did this to ensure that teams White Star and Lucky Sevens, who players have a big stake in fantasy football would be ineligible to play. It worked and both more athletically enhanced teams have dropped out ! Regardless though, both teams kept with their donations for the Learning Community Charter School. Sunday's games are still going forward, First Game at 1 pm but instead of battling it out for some superficial glory that causes most of you to behave like d0uchbag5, we will just play for fun. Everyone is invited to play some good old fashion Recess Time Kickball this Sunday. $10 donations will be greatly accepted. Just down the Street on Sunday will be the Lot Clean Up for 4th Street. That starts at 11am and there's refreshments for weed pullers. Tell Mr. and Mrs. Crabtree to Stay at home !
Sunday is also the Going into Business Sale for the Jersey City Artists Workshop, another Thomas John Carlson | Jersey City Art School product. Additionally Artists looking for Art Space will soon be able to rent space in the 1 McWilliams Building [Art House Productions], Just as well Roland Ramos has also secured a floor at the Monroe Center in Hoboken. Here's a link to the 6th Boro Artists Village.
Going backwards, Saturday is the Second Annual Hamilton Park BBQ. I've lined up 4 Country | Americana Acts for this event, with The Ashes [1pm] The Porchistas [2:15], Jeremy Wallace Trio [3:30], Ace Case and the Crosstown Country All-Stars [4:45] and Luaren Shub [Jazz Vocalist - 6:00]. Plenty of good foods and beverages. Later on Saturday check out Marty O'Kane [Jody Porter and the Black Swans, x-April Smith] at Maxwells.

The Benefit of Bee-Bee-Quing
My parents were always avid grillers. From the hottest day in summer to the coldest winter day, only a rainy day could grant me a respite of my mother calling me from work to "set up the grill". Kingsford Briquettes were the brand of choice, same routine every time, following the instructions on the side of the bag ; make a pyramid, add lighter fluid, wait one minute, light. Never failed, at most it faltered and that only game me the opportunity to disobey the instructions on the lighter fluid " Do not pour on open flame !"
Sunday, we have some good grilling going on for a special cause. The Historic Jersey City and Harsimus Cemetery [ the location of last year, and this year's Ghost of Uncle Joe's Halloween Party] i hoping to raise some $50,000 to obtain a matching grant, in addition their running tight on their expenses and are in need of some financial assistance. So we've gathered up 6 bands, 2 lanes of bowling, racks of ribs and cans of beer to have a nice Sunday Cook-out. It's Sunday, so we are starting things early at 3pm. Live Music by Leaf Pile, The Audio Bodies, The Milwaukees, Ladell McLin, Bad Cop [Nashville], and Thomas Francis Takes His Chances all team up for this event. $25 entry with BBQ from Lucky's, $20 without, $5 off admission with two non perishable food items to donate for the St. Matthew's Food Pantry. Can't make it but can donate www.jerseycitycemetery.org
There's live music leading up to this all week. A new doubled down effort has been going on at the Lamp Post, courtesy of Zac Clark and Jen Schwartz of Ghost Train PR on Saturday's and Thursday Knights Candice. Ghost Train is also booking Lucky's Tuesday Nights, a good way to get some shows under your belt.
This Wednesday's Groove on Grove is a Three Round Bout Showcase with Pat Van Dyke, Sylvana Joyce and the Moment, with the Defending Champions, stepping into the ring last.
That's all for now have to make a flyer run. This Internet thing can be misleading. Before I go, please don't forget about Kayt Hester's Caribou at LITM next Tuesday. The artwork is all inspired by the Pixies as will be my play list.

July 4th BBQ | Volleyball | Festival of Light @ the Jetty aka Morris Canal aka the Korean War Memorial (155 Washington St.)
sometimes when you have the same party every year you can just use the same email
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
BBQ | Volleyball | Karaoke | Dance party
Noon to Doom. (set-up at 11 am) Folks I really need a couple of people to set-up
Folks here's what we need to do, without burning down half of Jersey City, we need to illuminate the coast. So bring flash lights, colored lights, glow sticks, and think about 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 dust 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, Paddle ball, Bocce, Frisbee
Bring Food for the BBQ:
We will have two grills :
I am marinating a couple of London broils and veggies for the grill.

some chicken, or somefunky type of sausages, 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
