A License for Special Entertainment

Friends,

Thanks to everyone who came out for last night's All Jersey Edition of Blackhole. If you haven't checked out JC's only comedy night, you'll have to self-medicate yourself until the next Blackhole on July 25th.

Okay let me start with some bad news, we had to unfortunately postpone Shangri-la until August 18th and 19th. The city is requiriing that we now get a Special Entertainment License for the event. With the prospect of having the event shut down in progress, we feel the best course would be to get the permit and then blow the eff out of it. Save the dates, make sure your bathing suit is clean too.

We are still going to open the gates on Saturday to clear things out for Shangri-la and since Mission Organization also refused our appeal for help. Gate opens at 11 am, come by for some extra ordinary miscellaneous stuff.

Reduce is at The JC Museum Tonight and the Hove is at DC's Tavern. Indigo Hue closes @ the Mary Benson Gallery tomorrow night Johny Astronaut in DJHQ.

Also tomorrow, you have a host of JC bands to see play. Of course if decide not to go see american watercolor movement, sounds of greg d, kilsy, and teh emergency party at the New Luna Lounge. You can check out The Subway Surfer's at Otto's Lounge or Water Under Water, the Meltdowns, and Up the Empire @ The Clash Bar in Clifton. Tris McCall play double duty on Saturday night @ Maxwell's. First playing solo works and then with Kapow!. He will be able to say that he openned ip for the Fiery Furnance's Twice. www.maxwellsnj.com

Good morning!
A big THANK YOU for those who came out to the opening reception of REDUCE! It was a really good time!
Many of the one-of-a-kind artist made tote bags sold during the silent auction in a fierce bidding war, Chef Jade served up some fine food and topped it off with some amazing disappearing oatmeal raisin cookies!
People are blogging about them! Bag the Habit tote bags flew off the shelves-did you get one?...I'll get into all the details of the show in the next online issue of the "A List!" including photos and links. If you have not seen the exhibit we have regular gallery hours:
Thursday-Saturday 3-8PM and by appointment. For appointments at other times please call 201.209.0544 and check out http://www.bagthehabit.com/
Until then, I've got an update of "A List!" events...

Hey, Who REALLY cares about Friday mornings anyway????? This is last minute, but we were asked to perform at this Penthouse in Tribeca Thursday night! (June 3)
Apparently the guy throwing this event is a photographer....(no Liv, but lots of pretty people). I would also like to point out it IS a Penthouse.....not a party FOR Penthouse (magazine)....so if THOSE are the type of models you wish to hang with;... perhaps a trip to your
local Deli will suffice. (you can grab some Boone's Farm while yer
there and make a night of it)

If you want to hang with US however, it's OPEN BAR! (10-Midnight) We go on at 11.
http://www.studio7.com/
The ticket is $20, but we wouldn't do it if we didn't think you could drink more than that :)

Combo discounts are available for the two films onSaturday and also in combination with the screening of "Stranger On ATrain" at the Loew's on Friday, June 8 at 8PM. Call (201) 798-6055 orvisit www.loewsjersey.org for more info.Half-price off-street parking is available in Square Ramp Garageadjoining the Loew's. Coupons are available at our box office thatpatrons can present to garage attendant when they leave.Classic Film Weekends are presented by Friends of the Loew's, Inc.,which operates the Loew's Jersey as a not-for-profit arts center.Film synopses follow:Hitchcock's Strangers On A TrainTennis pro Guy Haines (Farley Granger) chances to meet wealthy wastrelBruno Anthony (Robert Walker) on a train; they are literally"Strangers On A Train." Having read all about Guy, Bruno is aware thatthe tennis player is trapped in an unhappy marriage to wife Miriam(Laura Elliott) and has been seen in the company of senator's daughterAnn Morton (Ruth Roman). Baiting Guy, Bruno reveals that he feelstrapped by his hated father (Jonathan Hale). As Guy listens withdetached amusement, Bruno discusses the theory of "exchange murders."Suppose that Bruno were to murder Guy's wife, and Guy in exchange wereto kill Bruno's father? With no known link between the two men, thepolice would be none the wiser, wouldn't they? Ingenious theory – butwill Guy go along? When he reaches his station, he bids goodbye toBruno, apparently thinking nothing more of the affable but peculiaryoung man and his homicidal theories. But then, Guy's wife turns upstrangled to death.Hitchcock's favorite devices of an ordinary man caught in anever-tightening web of fear and of evil lurking just below theseemingly placid, benign surface plunge Guy into one of the director'smost fiendishly effective movies. Ordinary Washington locations becomesinister hunting grounds that mirror perfectly the creeping terrorthat slowly consumes Guy, as the lethally smooth Bruno relentlesslyprods and him to a frenzied climax.The film includes some of Hitchcock's most famous visual set piecessuch as the scene at a tennis match in which the heads of all thespectators are moving back and forth to follow the game – except forBruno's, which is fixed on Guy. And there's the famous sequenceinvolving a runaway merry-go-round, on which Guy and Bruno struggle asa carnival worker crawls on his stomach under the revolving ride toget to the controls. (This shot was famously un-faked, and the stuntman could have been killed; Hitchcock said he would never take such achance again.)Granger and Walker couldn't be more perfect for their roles. Grangeris handsome and athletic but seems easily put-upon. And Walkerbeautifully embodies the sinister wacko who truly believes he's doingsomething great.The screenplay was co-written by none-other than Raymond Chandler,with Czenzi Ormonde, adapting it from a novel by Patricia Highsmith.Fast, exciting, and woven with wicked style, this is one ofHitchcock's most efficient and ruthlessly delicious thrillers.Breakfast at Tiffany'sBlake Edwards may have directed Breakfast at Tiffany's, andscreenwriter George Axelrod certainly did a splendid job of adjustingTruman Capote's novel for the screen, but from the first moment AudreyHepburn steps out of a cab with her coffee and danish and window shopsat Tiffany's after a night on the town, this is her movie, and it'sall but impossible to imagine another actress in the role. Beyond hertremendous charm and buoyant comic timing, Hepburn manages to makeHolly Golightly at once resilient and fragile, a woman who knows herway around Manhattan but still hasn't figured out how not to be hurtby the world around her -- it would have been easy to make Holly seemflighty and annoying, but in Hepburn's capable hands she's anadorable, jaded innocent whose hipster façade and oft-stated desire tomarry a wealthy man never quite disguises her need to be loved and tobelong. As Paul Varjak, Holly's neighbor, friend, confidante, andeventual boyfriend, George Peppard is almost a bit too strong andsolid -- he seems a mite stiff much of the time -- but he plays welloff of Hepburn, and knows enough to stay out of her way. Patricia Nealis spot on as Paul's cheerfully cynical "sponsor," and Buddy Ebsen issuperb in a brief turn as the former husband of the former Lula MaeBarnes (and could anyone blame him for wanting her back?). However,between Edwards' frothy pacing, Franz F. Planer's lovely locationcamerawork, and Henry Mancini's memorable score, Breakfast atTiffany's is a thoroughly charming and witty valentine to one specialwoman and the city she loves that still enchants more than 40 yearsafter it first hit the screen.It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World – Saturday, June 9 at 7PM1963 – 175mins. – Color – United Artists. Predated the rating system,but is suitable for most audiences.Directed by Stanley Kramer.Starring an All-Star Cast, including: Spencer Tracy, Milton Berle, SidCaesar, Mickey Rooney, Buddy Hackett, Ethel Merman, Phil Silvers, DickShawn, Jimmy Durante, Buster Keaton, Jonathan Winters.With this all-star Cinerama epic, producer/director Stanley Kramervowed to make "the comedy that would end all comedies." At the veryleast, he made one of the most out-sized and unforgettable comediesever. The story begins with a traffic accident, caused by recklessdriver Smiler Grogan (Jimmy Durante), who, before (literally) kickingthe bucket, cryptically tells the assembled drivers that he's buried afortune in stolen loot, "under the Big W." The various motoristssetting out on a mad scramble include a dentist (Sid Caesar) and hiswife (Edie Adams); a henpecked husband (Milton Berle) accompanied byhis mother-in-law (Ethel Merman) and his beatnik brother-in-law (DickShawn); a pair of traveling buddies (Buddy Hackett and Mickey Rooney);and a variety of assorted nuts including a slow-wit (JonathanWinters), a wheeler-dealer (Phil Silvers), and a pair of greedycabdrivers (Peter Falk and Eddie "Rochester" Anderson). Monitoringevery move that the fortune hunters make is a scrupulously honestpolice detective (Spencer Tracy). Virtually every lead, supporting,and bit part in the picture is filled by a well-known comic actor: thelaugh-spinning lineup also includes Carl Reiner, Terry-Thomas, ArnoldStang, Buster Keaton, Jack Benny, Jerry Lewis, and The Three Stooges,who get one of the picture's biggest laughs by standing still anduttering not a wor

No More Project 001 Gallery??!
Well folks we always knew we couldnʼt have it forever and the time came to let go of our beloved Project 001 Gallery. The space was lent to us while vacant and waiting for a restauranteer to rent the space. We have held many exciting events there and am so grateful for having had a gallery for nearly a year to express our ideas and meet so many of you. RockSoup will still be using 001 Gallery for Special events but will no longer continue its bi weekly programming or hold regular gallery hours. This will allow us to focus more on our giant show at MFA and the Festafeniceʼ.

ROCKSOUP INCORPORATES?
Itʼs hard to believe that RockSoup is just under a year old , but itʼs true. RockSoup held itʼd first meeting on June 21st 2006. Some two months later we were working with Design Grace and NEW magazine on JCʼs first Creative Guide and then a month after that had our own gallery space. Now RockSoup has taken itself a step further and is in the process of incorporating so we can take advantage of all the wonderful things that go along with being legit. If there are any.

Hopelessly Promoted for You

A quick thanks to the bands that played our all ages affair this Saturday. Once I have pictures, I'll link them up for you. Unfortunately, I never made it to my High School Reunion, and thus was unable to steal Michele Tansey-Mallicanci back. Maybe next time ? Speaking of next times, On June 5th, Boy/Girl, The Special Moves, and Glass Trees will play 58 . It's a school night show, so make sure you do your homework and come early.

As for this weekend; yes! we do have a private pirate party at 58. You can email me at asusco@smithmullin.com for an invite, if you really think that you need one. Let me spell it out : this is event will be open only to those who are sea worthy, need help? ask them at fleet week. If you are feeling washed up after the weekend, please sail over next Wednesday for another installment of Melisa Surach's Blackhole Comedy Night.

Factoring in the Memorial Day Holiday, Volleyball will be on Monday (and may be also on Sunday ? ) But I am planning on Monday. Unless the weather forcast is crappy for Monday, then see you on Sunday.

We are looking for some able bodies to help with the following projects at 58; AC installation, sound proofing, and kitchen counter top installation, and minor moped repair, email me above.

The Reservior is looking for Volunteers to help with events We're looking for Volunteers each Saturday from May 12th through October 27th. Hours will be from 10am-2pm and 2pm-6pm. Please email jcreservoir@gmail.com if interested--

********************************************************************************
THE INTAGLIO PROCESS (courtesy of Nathan Kanofsky)
Intaglio is a traditional form of printmaking that involves transferring an image from a fixed matrix to paper, usually with the use of an etching press.
Silicone Intaglio is a new hybrid photographic process where a large film is exposed to a light sensitive plate. The parts of the plate that do not receive light are washed away in the developing process, exposing the substrate. The plate is then rolled by hand with oil based ink mixed to the artisty's color desired. The plate is placed on the press and covered with printmaking paper which is 100% rag cotton. It is then rolled through the press with felt blankets over it pushing the ink into the porous paper fibers and thereby transferring it onto the exposed substrate. The plate is then removed and again hand rolled with ink continuing the process to make multiple impressions.

Alright!So, we got ourselves a gig on a Friday night at the new Luna Lounge in Williamsburg (Brooklyn, not Virginia, although VA is excellent and we will go there this Summer)! We're opening up at 7:30 on Friday the 25th of May, which is really pretty awesome. After reading about the place from Tris McCall and Jim Testa, and seeing as how we have some good friends out in the burg, I had to get us a gig. We lucked out - Rob who books the Luna tends to be fairly selective of who he puts on, has a good reputation, and giving us this slot he's expecting us to bring heads! So you should come out and kick it with us, and bring all your friends. We've got a whole show planned out, including, yes, The Dance, which I swear we will YouTube soon, due to popular demand. Or you can bring a video cam and do it yourself! We have something special planned or later in the evening, too, for those among you who don't want to stop dancing with us. In other news, we're currently cutting a single for two of our new tunes, Club Sedition and Shelter. We tracked it live, we have a couple of things to dub, but it's almost done and it's already as a rough mix ten times better than anything we've done before. It's really nice working with a producer who's been at this a long time, "gets" our music, and works with us so well (Gerry Griffin the Fourth, Temple of Tuneage in Verona). It's a home studio, we're getting a free ride, and the quality is top-notch, so we're quite grateful. Hopefully we'll have it mixed, mastered, and pressed by late June. Even sooner, if physically possible. Tonight we're moving in to our new rehearsal space in Jersey City which we are sharing with the good gentlemen from Water Under Water. It doesn't smell, we can play late, it's like we're a REAL band! Like everyone else we know, we're out of Montclair and moving on to the next chapter. Last Saturday we got our mugs shot by Ms. Colleen Gutwein, who won't let us see the photos. Colleen helped us choreograph The Dance (which we will teach you, it's easy!), is helping us coordinate the after-festivities for the 25th, and will be taking care of the scheduling for the short tour we're going to do. We have a number of good gigs coming up this Summer (Asbury Lanes!), we expect to be doing some short mini-excursions into the South, and it looks like the tour will be a x-country thing in the beginning of August. I'll let you know as events unfold, but it's definitely an exciting time for us. Stop by our myspace page which tends to get updated with the gigs sooner than the actual webpage, which tends to be more inane rambling and funny pictures and such. So, to recap:The MeltdownsFriday May 25th 7:30pmLuna Lounge361 Metropolitan Avenue Brooklyn, N.Y. 11211Let's show the Brooklynites and what kind of crazy we've been working on here in New Jersey! Looking forward to seeing you soon,Billy MeltdownP.S. Does anyone want to start a band called The Expensive Haircuts?P.P.S. Adam and I want to do a Daft-Punk esque side project called Four On The Floor.

Its been a long time coming, but the iMPULSE has finally released their first single! Why all the fuss, you ask??? Yeah, its a split single, but the fact remains that pressing music to wax makes you a REAL band, not an band with just a myspace page or a burned cd (we've done both of these, too). This 7" single being released into the world means that the iMPULSE is HERE and that they are the REAL deal. And twenty years from now, after cd-rs have degenerated and mp3s are a digital blip of the past, this record will still be around and played as a testament to iMPULSE rock'n'roll. So you better come party with us!OK. On with the details...To release this record properly, we are traveling to the darkest corners of Jersey City night life...THE HEIGHTS. Far from the dollar stores of Newark Ave, THE CORKSCREW is the perfect place to celebrate a vinyl 7". It is small, they spin vinyl, and the drinks are cheap ($3...like a 7").




AS FOR BLACKHOLE:Seriously, you will not get shot at BlackHole. Comedian Donnell Rawlings from The Chappelle Show was shot at after doing a set at Jordan's Fish and SteakHouse in Jersey City. YOU WILL NOT GET SHOT AT BLACKHOLE. I wasn't lying when I said, "BlackHole is the only comedy show in Jersey City you won't get shot at." The next BlackHole is on May 30th. Check my blog, Fear and Dread, Guilt and Shame for things.Thanks!Melissa

201-893-4970
EXPERIMENTAL JAZZ COMES TO JERSEY CITY!
Jersey City, NJ, May, 2007 - "HOME FIELD ADVANTAGE - Experimental Jazz in Jersey City" is a musical series organized by jazz musician James Keepnews featuring four groups led by noted practitioners of experimental jazz and improvised music to be held every Saturday in May at Lex Leonard Gallery, 143 C. Columbus Dr., Jersey City, NJ from 8pm - 12am. General admission is $10 each night, $7 for students and seniors with valid ID.
Line-up:

About the scene...






Over the last several years, Jersey City has distinguished itself as an important center for the arts not only locally but globally. Its numerous galleries, arts centers and the support received from local audiences are a testament to a thriving arts scene right across the Hudson River. As a result, more and more artists of every variety are increasingly making Jersey City their home. This is notably true for avant-garde jazz musicians. As the number of spaces within the greater metropolitan area that feature this music has shrunk dramatically in the last few years, musicians increasingly are turning to self-promoted events to keep this vital music alive. James Keepnews is an independent jazz musician and promoter who's organized a platform for cutting edge jazz for four Saturdays in May.
About the promoter...
James Keepnews is a musician, writer and multimedia artist. He has performed with dozens of bands and performing artists over the course of two decades, including Daniel Carter, George Lewis, Holland Hopson, Joe Giardullo, Linda Montano, Damian Catera and many others. Keepnews received his B.A. in English at Hamilton College in 1988 and attended the Interactive Electronic Arts program (iEAR) at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, receiving his MFA from there in 1998. He is currently preparing several releases for his his record label, Metaharmonc (http://www.metaharmonic.com). For more information on James and other participants of the series please visit http://www.lexleonardgallery.com

No More Project 001 Gallery??!
Well folks we always knew we couldnʼt have it forever and the time came to let go of our beloved Project 001 Gallery. The space was lent to us while vacant and waiting for a restauranteer to rent the space. We have held many exciting events there and am so grateful for having had a gallery for nearly a year to express our ideas and meet so many of you. RockSoup will still be using 001 Gallery for Special events but will no longer continue its bi weekly programming or hold regular gallery hours. This will allow us to focus more on our giant show at MFA and the Festafeniceʼ.

ROCKSOUP INCORPORATES?
Itʼs hard to believe that RockSoup is just under a year old , but itʼs true. RockSoup held itʼd first meeting on June 21st 2006. Some two months later we were working with Design Grace and NEW magazine on JCʼs first Creative Guide and then a month after that had our own gallery space. Now RockSoup has taken itself a step further and is in the process of incorporating so we can take advantage of all the wonderful things that go along with being legit. If there are any.
We have many exciting projects planned so if your interested in becoming a part of RockSoupStudios send us a request on our myspace or respond to this email.

**STUDIOS for Rent in RockSoupStudios LOFT SPACE
RockSoup has the great fortune of having itʼs own amazing Loft space to continue working on majore peieces of artwork as well as hold events. Our Loft space at 660 Grand street is 5000 sq ft.
