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 ....

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

ready... set.... dodgeball
Space is quickly running out for spaces in this Saturday's dodgeball benefit at the Learning Community School. Text the Dodgeball Hot line 973-219-9696 if you want in. Otherwise, just come and enjoy the competition from the gymnasium balcony, if you are betting , we've got teams from White Star, Lucky Seven's, Fourth Street, Jersey City Tattoo, Thomas Francis Takes his Chances, along with a couple of non- aligned fringe groups and even a renegade 4th grader who is looking to take you down. In addition, the LCCS Parent Teacher Organization is rolling out the snack bar for the scrimmage, speaking of bars, this is an elementary school and although you are big kids, there is to be no alcohol brought into the school. And just like Hoboken, there will be a zero tolerance for anyone who should have stayed at the Hoboken St. Patrick's Day Parade. Save yourself for the after party at Lucky Seven's, first place and last place get bar tabs with drink specials and additional prizes for the rest.
Equally big this weekend is JC Friday., this event is so city wide they names it after Jersey City. Founded na organized by Art House Productions , there is more stuff than you can shake a stick of cheese at. Thursday night, Art House will cover their walls for Jersey City's longest running spoken word poetry night. . Their group show Invention: reinvention opens with the rest of us on JC Friday. At 58, we'll give you one last look at the Urban Audio Manifest by Mikal Hameed bring your ipods, mp3 players for some art interaction. At 9:30 pm by local rapper Owen Wilson will opens our live music performances followed by Jersey City indie rockers Wyldlife . and next Friday join us for COUNTERTHEORY : Works by Favianna Rodriguez.
_gaia also takes their Wonder Women to NJCU for Ah. Motherland Thursday Night til 8:30 pm.
Their closing reception is March 25th
WW5: Ah, Motherland! created a collective dialogue and artwork that explored the dynamic issues of emigration and (im)migration into the United States. As the projects came into focus, it became clear that notions of home, family, culture, and heritage are as as fluid and rich as the work being created. The exhibition illustrates a collective journey to determine the participants' knowledge of (im)migration, as well as to set a new standard of living with cultural relatedness and awareness. Each project represents a personal struggle with (im)migration and it’s effect on identity. Anjelika Krishna drapes her heirloom saris to create new representations of self and identity that includes a merger of east and west. Sonali Sridhar explores technology, tradition and design in "Odhni," a traditional Indian textile that harnesses solar energy.
After your are done with your art shuffling on JC Fridays. Check out DJ George Fernandez at Boca Grande. The event is a fundraiser for Haitian Earthquake Relief. (There is also an Haitian fundraiser in Brooklyn earlier At Iron Monkey, Any Day Parade is playing their fundraiser for their SXSW show. Joe Jack Talcum of the Dead Milkmen is playing as well. At Maxwell's on JC Friday, tris mccall & the housing bubble plays with Hey Tiger , Proslar Mechanics, Double Breasted and Dave Patten. Tris is on second to last. On Saturday Night, the full sounds of In Musth and Aminal play at the Lamppost. On Tuesday Night, Reggae-soul Forbidden Fruit (with Roland Ramos) plays a Bar Majestic new Tuesday Night Music series, not to be confused with Lucky Sevens Tuesday Night shows. Make sure you make it out of Hoboken before Saturday's St. Patrick's Day Parade, they have zero tolerance for shenanigans by crazy leprechauns.
Supporting live music is one thing. But supporting music all together can be done at Jersey City's and the world wide webbed WFMU. Give them a call and drop some change in the bucket, during these fundraiser you can get them to stray off the consistently inconsistent programming.

Fridays First.
Congrats to Balance Hair Salon on raising $1,000 with their Haircuts for Haiti fundraiser last Sunday, not only did they raise money for a needy cause, but 50 people in the neighborhood now look Groovier ! Haircuts and styles may be the medium to express one self, but this Friday evening you can get a sneak preview of Hair Tactics at the Target : First Fridays at the Jersey City Museum. The group show features texts written in hair, fancy hair motifs used to decorate a love letter, extravagant and multi-colored wigs, drawings featuring hair-covered bodies, and ladies with elaborate up-dos. Entrance to the museum is free, with hands on crafts for the families from 5 pm to 7pm. The evening is complimented with a wine tasting by Terlato Wines and some ice cold ones compliments of the White Star DJ Neil McCoy is filling in for Street Justice (who was summoned to duty at Maxwells) with music in the atrium. At 7 pm, Heather Duby and Higgins perform in the 151 seat auditorium ($8 for JCM members, $10 without).
Music doesn't stop on Friday Night, and in fact is the theme for m11x's Urban Audio Manifesto #3. at 58. 58 Gallery proudly presents the third part of Mikal Hameed’s sound art series entitled “Urban Audio Manifesto #3”. In this exhibit, Mikal Hameed reinvents how we see, hear and interact with art. His interactive “plug and play” works allow the audience to plug their smart devices (vinyl, phones, mp3, ipods etc.) directly into the art. This creates a participation based viewer experience, that lets the audience act as the DJ or sound controller. Hameed’s imaginative and inspiring works utilize vintage sound components and transform them into something modern, unique and completely interactive. Don't expect any DJ's for this opening, the artwork is you DJ, it's a plug and play party so bring your wax, ipods, etc.
Afterwards, we will be heading to Porto Lounge for a Bossa Nova after party with DJ Willliam McCamie. Those still looking for some Mint Tunes, should head to Maxwell's for the Mint 400 records showcase. Any Day Parade and Fairmont take the later spots. Say hello to Street Justice.
My apologies to Thursday, for skipping over you. I know we had spent most of today together and all I talk about is my longing for Friday. well Thursday, we still have today, and I know this may sound too forward, but I would like to start our with us getting naked. Of course, I don't me me and you, but actually obtaining nakedness with a Figure Drawing Class at the Jersey City Art School. If you feel uncomfortable with this, we could always go up to Art House Productions, for their Art House open mike and catch Uninvited and maybe take our own 5 minutes of performance ? This all seems very funny I know, but I was actually thinking that I would love to take you out for for some comedy in the city tonight ? Pat Byrne's comedy group the Upset Triangle is doing an unplugged show at the People's Improve Theatre. Joining the comedy troupe will be comedian Seth Herzog and Musician Vic Ruggiero ! Plus it's the ever comical Nick Fierro's debut performance. The afterwrads, we can head back to Luckys and get you some Ladies Night specials. I on the other hand may need to see Chuck Daly for a Man Party.
(see Friday at start)
Saturday (one day before the Big Game) Is it possible to enjoy a night if you aren't an Saint or Colt. Of course, and Surely Betty will enjoy her birthday at the Lamp Post. Frankie & The Bugs start the celebration off and the make room for a a 12 band Punk Rock tribute by the Subway Surfers. That right 12 f+cking bands all wrapped into 4 dudes. It may be a good way to wipe out your popcorn addled brain from watching the Room at art House productions earlier in the evening. From WIKIPEDIA: The Room is a 2003 independent film written and directed by its star, Tommy Wiseau, who is also credited on screen as both the movie's producer and executive producer...The Room tells the melodramatic story of a love triangle between a man, his future wife, and his best friend. Without any studio support, Wiseau spent over $7 million on production and marketing for the film. Wiseau promotes the film as a black comedy and insists that its humor is actually intentional, although cast members have publicly disputed these claims and many audience members generally view the film as a poorly-made drama. The Room has been cited by some critics as one of the worst films ever made, and has been called 'the Citizen Kane of bad movies.' After a brief run in Los Angeles, the film went on to develop a cult following..." Heckling and popcorn throwing is encouraged.

If you are in the market to buy roses, diamonds, or a new Mercedes for your significant other but lack the resources, I got this great email from a local artist about Census Jobs. I took the test a couple of weeks ago, and once I give them a better detailed explanation of Question #23 I hope to come to your house. Here's his email.
I am a Jersey City resident and struggling artist. And have been receiving your helpful emails since I met you two summers ago when I met you at a Groove on Grove event (Any Day Parade). Anyway, The following info is rather dry but I wanted to Give you the heads up in case your followers and/or guests to the website and sponsored events might find it as helpful as I did.
You see I had been out of work for over six months and was about to financially implode when I got this sweet gig with the Census Bureau. So, If you know anyone who needs a full time paycheck or just some extra part time cash, let them know about this.
The Census Bureau needs people from OUR community to record OUR numbers in order to serve US. The Census determines the number seats WE have in the House of Representatives and shape boundaries for state and local legislative and congressional districts which in turn helps determine how much Federal and State money WE get and where NEW SCHOOLS, HOSPITALS, and other COMMUNITY FACILITIES are placed. On a more personal note it is where someone like me can get a GOOD PAYING, FLEXIBLE job between gigs. I took the test last month and am thrilled to doing community outreach now (despite my aversion to politics and the state of our 'union'). It's interesting, engaging work and I'm getting Paid $20.50 an hour.
There is plenty of work out there, and that the hiring process is very simple. You just call 866-861-2010 to schedule a test at a time and location most convenient to you (registration, instruction, and testing takes about an hour total). The test is for basic skills in math, reading, and mapping. Simple stuff. A sample of which is found at www.censusjobs2010.org .

Music doesn't stop on Friday Night, and in fact is the theme for m11x's Urban Audio Manifesto #3. at 58. 58 Gallery proudly presents the third part of Mikal Hameed’s sound art series entitled “Urban Audio Manifesto #3”. In this exhibit, Mikal Hameed reinvents how we see, hear and interact with art. His interactive “plug and play” works allow the audience to plug their smart devices (vinyl, phones, mp3, ipods etc.) directly into the art. This creates a participation based viewer experience, that lets the audience act as the DJ or sound controller. Hameed’s imaginative and inspiring works utilize vintage sound components and transform them into something modern, unique and completely interactive. Don't expect any DJ's for this opening, the artwork is you DJ, it's a plug and play party so bring your wax, ipods, etc.
Afterwards, we will be heading to Porto Lounge for a Bossa Nova after party with DJ Willliam McCamie. Those still looking for some Mint Tunes, should head to Maxwell's for the Mint 400 records showcase. Any Day Parade and Fairmont take the later spots. Say hello to Street Justice.
My apologies to Thursday, for skipping over you. I know we had spent most of today together and all I talk about is my longing for Friday. well Thursday, we still have today, and I know this may sound too forward, but I would like to start our with us getting naked. Of course, I don't me me and you, but actually obtaining nakedness with a Figure Drawing Class at the Jersey City Art School. If you feel uncomfortable with this, we could always go up to Art House Productions, for their Art House open mike and catch Uninvited and maybe take our own 5 minutes of performance ? This all seems very funny I know, but I was actually thinking that I would love to take you out for for some comedy in the city tonight ? Pat Byrne's comedy group the Upset Triangle is doing an unplugged show at the People's Improve Theatre. Joining the comedy troupe will be comedian Seth Herzog and Musician Vic Ruggiero ! Plus it's the ever comical Nick Fierro's debut performance. The afterwrads, we can head back to Luckys and get you some Ladies Night specials. I on the other hand may need to see Chuck Daly for a Man Party.
(see Friday at start)
Saturday (one day before the Big Game) Is it possible to enjoy a night if you aren't an Saint or Colt. Of course, and Surely Betty will enjoy her birthday at the Lamp Post. Frankie & The Bugs start the celebration off and the make room for a a 12 band Punk Rock tribute by the Subway Surfers. That right 12 f+cking bands all wrapped into 4 dudes. It may be a good way to wipe out your popcorn addled brain from watching the Room at art House productions earlier in the evening. From WIKIPEDIA: The Room is a 2003 independent film written and directed by its star, Tommy Wiseau, who is also credited on screen as both the movie's producer and executive producer...The Room tells the melodramatic story of a love triangle between a man, his future wife, and his best friend. Without any studio support, Wiseau spent over $7 million on production and marketing for the film. Wiseau promotes the film as a black comedy and insists that its humor is actually intentional, although cast members have publicly disputed these claims and many audience members generally view the film as a poorly-made drama. The Room has been cited by some critics as one of the worst films ever made, and has been called 'the Citizen Kane of bad movies.' After a brief run in Los Angeles, the film went on to develop a cult following..." Heckling and popcorn throwing is encouraged.

what rolls arounds come around
Hats off to Grove Street Bicycles and their used bike donation program. If you haven't opened last week's Jersey City Reporter because you are seeing how much moisture the paper can hold, here's the story. Maybe now we should cut loose some abandoned frames? There has been a ten speed on tenth street that I watched survive the winter, only to recently loose both of its wheels. Poor thing. We can find a home for you, or at least an Art House to live at ? and things were very lively at last Saturday's Snow Ball. If you want to get listed for this March 6th JC Fridays, make sure you have listing together by 5 pm tomorrow.
On the art side this weekend, tape artist, Kayt Hester has an opening tonight(R) from 7 to 9 pm at at Fish with Braids Gallery.

DJ Leonard Smalls will melt ladies hearts with half price drinks at Lucky's, while I got for a man-u-mental evening at the Lamp Post. You of course don't need to choose either, and may simply your supply side economical mind to see the Demands free show tonight at the Lakeside Lounge in NYC. Bring some singles for the picture booth the show is free and starts at 9:15.

With the 07302 confines, _gaia studios unveils their Wonder Women exhibition WW$: Money, Money, Money. A result of the Wonder Women residency project from 2009, ten emerging artists are showcased at the Lex Leonard Gallery space this Friday at 7 pm. The material is engaged in discussions about the artists work, the economy, feminism, and personal relationships to money. The rest if Friday is a little sketchy for me, so you can play on that theme with a visit to the Lamp Post, or get a bosa nova evening with DJ William McCamie at Porto-Lounge.
DJ William McCamie returns to (or perhaps will stay) at Porto-Lounge for a Haitian Benefit on Saturday Night. On Sunday, the staff of Balance Hair Salon is offering $20 Haircuts for Haiti with all of the proceeds going towards the Earthquake Relief Effort. at 3 pm on Saturday, Hudson Pride Connections hosts a Game Day Benefit for Haiti.

If that the Absinthe doesnt start at riot, try Maxwells for a taste of the Brixton Riot. Fairmont plays at the Lamp Post this Saturday night. While next Friday the 5th, they team up with Mint 400 records label mates Any Day Parade at Maxwells.
On Sunday, get your final glimpse of John Besnate's Sirens Song at 58.

Relief Mission
As most of you know, on Tuesday, a devestaing earthquake hit Haiti, the poorest nation in the Americas. Haitian Earthquake Relief is only a text away. • Donate through Wyclef Jean's foundation, Yele Haiti.
