Good and Evil Meet for a Dance Party

Ok. If you don't know about the Superheros and Villains Party... what can I say except. I could use some help setting up today. Come around 4 pm and you too can say you hosted half of Jersey City. As well other volunteer spots : working the door with Neil "Eggs" McCoy for an hour and then every one's favorite. Cleaning up the next day. I am looking for a boy/girl wonder to help clean up all night, this is for someone who plans to stay sober so don't jump on it unless you can commit to some sobriety.

Just a couple of notes about tonight's party. $5 for ladies and those in costume. $10 guys w/o capes. Come in mixed comping and as always leave any bad vibes, bad friends and bad asses at home. If you don't want to pay don't plan to stay. The party this year is actually expanded into two apartments on my floor. Next door, we debut the Yin/Yang Lounge with an additional bathroom and a premium liquor cash bar. In my apartment,  there will be the usual supply canned beer, methodically mixed superhero and villain drinks and wine.

There are coat checks, bowling lockers in both rooms, and additional lockers by the front door to store stuff. Just don't loose your keys. Ok lets have a fun time tonight. I look forward to this event every year.

Here's the rest on a quick note.

Life is a Noise Cabaret Old Chumms

Thank you to everyone involved with the Ghost of Uncle Joe's Halloween Fundraiser last Saturday. We raised $4,000 for the Historic Jersey City and Harsimus Cemetery. Needless to say, the Cemetery's Board was very impressed and is looking forward to next's year event already. Maybe we should push up some daisies come spring ?

If dressing up is your bag of tricks, get your costumes in the ready for our annual apartment party on Friday November 26th (date corrected from earlier post - don't loose your sh!t please) . This year we reprise The Superheroes and Villain Party . This annual event is precluded by my college posse's, the Derelict Garden Tool's 20th Annual Pagan Thanksgiving Dinner on Monday November 22nd in Montclair.

I am on my way out to New Brunswick to catch my kids, Thomas Francis Takes His Chances play at the Court Tavern. I know this is short notice, so we also have a show planned for this Saturday in a loft space in Newark. The kids, play with Luna Vroum who is currently touring through the United States with several musicians performing “Le Forêt du Moyen” (the Middle Forest), an original noise cabaret fairy tale. In addition to Chlöe Mandel, Luna Vroum’s “Forêt du Moyen” includes Andy March of Youth Club Records, Alley Dennig of SHV, and Corey Allan Hinchey and Jacques Mindreau of Krasnogorsk. The space is about 10-15 walk from the PATH in Newark, so catch a cab or just walk down Route 21 McCarter Highway until you get to 407 Mulberry. Doors are at 9pm. $7 beer included. Zed Never at 10 pm. Luna Vroum at 11 pm, TFTHC at midnight. As a bonus we are throwing in a FREE HOUR for everyone. Redeemable at 2am, so do everything you may regret between 1 am and 2 am.

On the JC side Saturday Night. DJ's Bearheist and Caligula will save daylight at the White Star. Jessie says he's breaking out the laser discs for this one. At Luckys. Sean Kiley, last Saturday's Jeff Mangum of Neutral Milk Hotel fame spins with Leonard Smalls. JC's Olde Ghost plays the Lamp Post along with Those Mockingbirds for the debut show of a new RYE COALITION Outfit ----- Cold Fur

On Sunday, the Hoboken Art Studio Tour runs from noon to 6 pm. At Paul Vincent Gallery will have a closing reception with Live Jazz for 58's Chief Executive, Orlando Reyes' : A New Kind of Science .

On Friday Night, REM, fakernaughts , Jody Porter and the Black Swans play the Rockwood Music Hall. And April Smith and the Last Picture and the Honey Brothers play Maxwells

.
Next Friday,  John Fesken's Ehullek Tragedies opens at 58.  The event will be without any live music performance as will future not city sponsored events until we move forward and get 58 rezoned. On Tuesday November 16th we are beginning 58's Longevity Campaign with a volunteer meeting to get our supporters invovled with applying for a zoning variance. Oh yeah this is going to be fun :)

Jersey City Kickball Rules

This event is a benefit for to children's organization, Have fun like kids just don't act like a baby or bully.
No Bouncies. Pitched balls may not be fired down towards home plate and shall not be excessively bouncy. Teams can force a change in pitcher once an inning by shouting "we want a pitcher, not a belly itcher (three times)".

Kickers must kick the ball behind or on home plate. Kickers can not come into contact with a ball before it reaches home plate. Balls hit in front of the plate are considered foul.

No Bunting. A ball must reach half the distance to first base to be considered fair. Bunt Balls are foul. 2 Foul Balls and you are out.

A Runner is out by force, but can also be called out if hit with the ball. Hitting a player in the face or any no-touch region will be considered safe and be awarded the base. Intentionally hitting a player in the face or jewels with the ball will lead to an expulsion from the game or tournament.

One Base Per Overthrow Balls that miss the base for a force out or miss the runner allow the player (and any other runners) to advance one extra base only. Runners can not advance when the pitcher has control of the ball on the mound.
No Leading “ Players may only leave the base once the ball is kicked. Players that advance before the ball is put into play will be considered out.

Teams must have minimum of eight players, and a maximum of 10 players on the field. Players substituted during a game can not return to play.

Teams must have at least 4 women with two women playing in the infield (excluding the catcher) Teams with less than 4 women will be penalized 2 runs per women difference in team rosters. For example : if one team fields 4 women and the opposing team fields 2 women. The team with the least amount of women will begin with the score of -4 runs.
Each Game consists of 5 innings or 45 minutes. Tie games shall be decided by sudden-death, best of three rock-paper-scissors play.
Each Team has 10 kickers per inning. The inning is finished when the last batter is called out or the ball is placed on home plate. If the ball is caught for an out or the runner is out at first base, no runs scored will count. If a team has less than 10 players, the kicking order will continue through the top of the order as long a four women (or the number of female kickers from the opposing team) have already kicked. If there is a difference then the next kicker will be a female from that team.) The first kicker for each inning is the corresponding kicker for each inning. For instance, the first kicker in the order kicks first in the first inning, the Third kicker in the order kicks first in the third inning. Capice ?

Weather Permitting, players who reach first base are awarded with a water balloon that can be used for defensive base running. It is recommended that each team have a first base coach to hand a water balloon to a player who shall reach past first base on their initial kick. Players who reach second or third base without getting a water balloon when passing first shall not be provided with a water balloon. Water Balloons should also not be throw at a persons face. While supplies last. No waterguns or Artic Freezers please.


Shoes and Attire - Players can not wear any type of cleats or boots or any such item or accessories that may cause injury to another player or the kickball.

Big Ball Inning : We will be using a 8.5 regulation kickball for most of the game. But one inning during the game, a 16 in mega ball will be used, the kicking team chooses when.

Double or Nothing Scoring: One time per game a kicker may signal “double or nothing” the call must be acknowledged by the referee and the opposing teams captain or pitcher. During this play any runs that score shall count as double points. However, if any runner is out during the play, all of the runner are out and no runs shall count.

SPORTSMANSHIP : The referees' word in final. Excess arguing with the referee will lead to first a warning (yellow card) and then second ejection (red card).

NO ALCOHOL & SMOKING

Alcohol is prohibited in the park. The white star is right across the street. Plan according and do not be that stupid asshole that brings beer onto the field.

There is to be no smoking on the field or in the dugout either.
