A Giant Weekend

I am having dinner with my mom this evening so I am just going to give you a quick heads up for Wednesday Night.

Here in JC. The Debut of Poetic Voices takes place at the Grass Roots Arts Facility. Many spoken wordsmith will be there with I believe an opportunity to read your own material. Therese is DJ'ing tonight at the Lamp Post with Street Justice behind the bar.

On Friday, which is now today, you can fly our to California and check out Chico Mann. If you don't have access to a plane, you can float over to the Lamp Post and CHeck out the Country Stylings of Any Day Parade and The Poconos. These two bands are also playing the Bowling Party Fundraiser we are having at Barrow Mansion on Sunday Febrauary 10th.

Saturday Night's Music calender has both Ape Fight and Surf Rocker's the Coffin Daggers playing. The Coffin Daggers are part of a surf brigade at Otto's Shrunken Head. Ape Fight will be at the Knitting Factory. JMeanwhile, back at the Lamp Post, the House of Leaves plays with Hunters, Run !

Alright once Friday and Saturday are fully extinguished, we can get past all of the two weeks of Superbowl trivial news stories and get to the Game and more importantly the Superbowl Tailgate Party at 58. Here's how things will work. Dress your best and bring a cooler with beer and/or a lawn chair to sit on. We'll supply the wings, and other deep friend goodnesss to eat. The Super (Karaoke) Bowl Fun Time Band will be performing a special half time show ala The will delight Even the Losers (tba). The Pre game festivites start around 4 pm.

Here's a video to get you rallied up whichever side of the 50 yard line you sit on.

At the Lamp Post, Therese is spinning, with Steff (aka Street Justive Behind the bar)

Friday, Feb. 1
8:00 PM - Citizen Kane
Starring Orson Welles, Joseph Cotton, Everett Sloan, Dorothy Comingore. Directed by Orson Welles.(1941, 119mins. Pre-dates rating system, but is suitable for most audiences.)
The fascinating - and for William Randolph Hearst, enraging - character study of the rise, successes and failings of a powerful, egotistical publishing figure. Welles shattered many film-making rules, and created some new ones. Extraordinary cinematography by Gregg Toland, great score by Bernard Herrmann and Oscar-winning screenplay by Welles and Herman J. Mankiewicz.
Saturday, Feb. 2
3:00 - The Lady From Shanghai
Starring Orson Welles, Rita Hayworth, Everett Sloane. Directed by Orson Welles.(1948, 87mins., B&W, Columbia Pictures. Pre-dates rating system, but may be unsuitable for young children.)
Complex murder mystery about an adventurer who joins a seductress and her husband on a Pacific cruise. Extraordinary cinematography. The famous climatic scene in fun-house hall of mirrors is riveting.
6:30 - The Magnificent Ambersons
Starring Joseph Cotton, Dolores Costello, Anne Baxter, Tim Holt, Agnes Moorehead. Directed by Orson Welles.(1942, 88mins. Pre-dates rating system but is suitable for most audiences.)
Based on a novel by Booth Tarkington, this is the story of a family's unwillingness to adapt its way of life to changing times.
8:40 - Touch Of Evil - 50th Anniversary screening, featuring a newly struck print!
Starring Charlton Heston, Janet Leigh, Orson Welles. Directed by Orson Welles.(1958, 111mins., B&W, Universal Pictures. Pre-dates the rating system, but may be unsuitable for children.)
Baroque crime drama, character study, with a touch of tongue-in-cheek humor thrown in, highlighted by dazzling photography and great acting. Heston is a Mexican law enforcement officer who, on his honeymoon, tangles with the corrupt Police Chief of an American border town, played by Welles in one of the most memorable of his many memorable screen roles.
The Loew's Jersey is proud to present the premiere screening of this new print of Touch of Evil, which was taken from the 1998 negative. In addition to being as faithful as possible to Welles' ideas, this print also boasts beautifully restored, razor-sharp black-and-white cinematography.

Each screening is $6 for adults, $4 for seniors & children 12 years old and younger. Combo discounts are available for multiple screenings. Call (201) 798-6055 or visit www.loewsjersey.org for more info.

The Skyline should have a limit

One of the benefits of the fire that destroyed a portion of the mural on Columbus Ave, is that since the building had to be demolished, you can now more sky, in fact you can see straight through to Newark Avenue now. It's not that I hate tall buildings, but I hate large signs advertising luxury condos and rentals, if the buildings where unique and not so overpriced, maybe we would see curtains in the windows instead.

Tonight, the planning board hears round two of the Toll Brothers plan to capture more skyline and obtain a variance on the Power House Arts District zoning. This plan is opposed by the Power House Arts District Neighborhood Association. The meeting is at 5:30 pm at the Middle School on Bright Street. you can read more information at http://www.padnajc.org/. The Planning board is going to make a final decision on this proposal tonight, so if you can make this meeting it would be very helpful.

Jersey City Tattoo (Adam Petersen and Chuck Daly) First Month Celebration
8 PM

Oh Whoa

Wow is the world changing so rapidly, or is it just the news. As you know, Hillary is no longer upset, as she pulled off the upset by winning New Hampshire last night. That doesn't matter Obama will still be in Jersey City today at 2:30 pm at St. Peter's College in the Heights. I am going since my parents have always expected me to run for President, I better go take some notes.

While the nation decides who get to sleep at the White House next. A simpler choice can be made this evening as the JC Rocker Party will have their weekly convention at the Lamp Post. DJ Hopefuls Neil "Eggs" McAnney battles Billy Alpha on the deck. Expect real albums. This ain't a digital throw down. Starts at 10 pm.

On Friday, Chicco Mann plays Southpaw with Chin Chin and DJ Rich Medina. It's an underground dance party, so make sure you don't get buried !! Saturday we have the closing party for John Besantes' Women of Color Exhibit. DJ Nugyen spins from 7 to 11 pm. Afterwards, the Porchista's are playing at the Lamp Post

new jersey not new hampshire

I cried last night too, but that was only because I accidentally watched the last 5 minutes of "how to loose a guy in 10 days" take it easy Hillary you have another month to loose the nomination.

Speaking of cry babies, my favorite baby, babyhole is this evening at Toyeater's and Melissa has compiled an all star class of clowns to unveil her 2008 calender. Don't worry that it is the first week of January chances are you've been wasting it away like me so far. The Coffin Daggers start the night at 9 pm, then it's John F. O'Donnell, Sean Patton, Rosie Rebel, Ben Lerman, and Jessica Delfino. Afterwards the mike open for all you wanna bees.

Beforehand, stop by City Hall Rotunda Gallery for an art exhibit featuring Karen Carattini and 25 artists from cWOW (City Without Walls) There are too many to list (see below) or just come by at 6 pm and see it all.


On Saturday we are hosting the closing reception for John Besante's Women of Color Exhibit at 58. DJ Nugyen Smith will spin things in the right direction 7 pm to 11 pm

Happy New Life

Thanks to everyone who came out to both Jayne's Birthdays Party at the Firehouse on Friday the 28th, and those of you who made it out to Maxwell's and 58 for New Year's Eve. The only tragedy of the evening was paying $20 for a cab ride from Maxwell's to Jersey City. That and cleaning up for 4 and a half hours on New Year's Day.

Unless I hear otherwise, this weekend is going to be pretty quiet in JC. Update, I have heard some new information :

The Out side is playing tonight at Fontana's in the city 9:45 pm

Tonight Cobretti plays the Lamp Post DJ Snack Attack seems to be GaGa about them from this MySpace Post:

that's right!!!this band fuggin' rocks. that's all i gotta say. trust me on this. reminds me of rye coalition, motorhead, and ac/dc...with some of the sickest double drumming i've ever heard OR seen. the two drummers share a base drum and play face to face....it's gotta be seen and heard....the show is free. livin' is easy. SEE YOU THERE, JERSEY CITY!

But tonight has some stuff to offer. DJ Bill McCamie is at Bar Magestic and DJ Cat Jugler is at the Lamp Post. Speaking of the Lamp Post, Tuesday Night DJ's will be on hiatus until the weather warms up. Friday and Saturday Nights are going to be band nights as well.
