I've got a couple of add-ons for this weekened.
Tonight, Friday. No Pasaran! is playing at the IMAC with eastern Anchors, Freddy and His Fingers, and someone else. At Maxwell's, Ape Fight plays with Marky Ramone.
We are heading to The Holy Rosary Church on 6th Street to play some B-I-N-G-O. It's $14 for a sheet and you could win up to $2,000. I can use that cash, we all call, things start at 7:30 pm sharp, there's food and snacks, come out for a Grand (Parent) Time :).
Don't forget tomorrow morning at 10 am starts Not Yo Mamma's Craft Fair at LITM. They got a great write up in this week's TIME OUT.
What ever I missed, I'll tell you after BINGO.

Moving On...
Don't let this cold rainy weather get you down, take my word that there are worse ways to spend your time indoors.
I've got some catching up to do. But wanted to get out the word about some tonights and tomorrows before Blogger shuts down for 10 minutes at 7 pm Eastern Standard Time.
On the outside (of Jersey City) you can catch Pow Wow at playing at Maxwells tonight (Thursday). In addition, The Milwaukees play at the Delancy in NYC at 8pm tonight. On Friday, Jupiter One returns to the Mercury Lounge for a midnight performance. On Saturday Night, Flaming Fire plays in Brooklyn as a benefit to save the SS Gay. They go on at 9pm at the
@ DCTV (Downtown Community Television) on 87 Lafayette Street (between Walker and White, 2 blocks south of Canal St.) Suggested Donation: $5 (or $20 if you choose. Or more if you're rich and nice.) ALSO FEATURING: free food, go-go dancers, booze, raffles, djs, all that party stuff. On Sunday Night, The Plastiq Passion Band trips over the border for their own gig at Maxwells.
With our own city lines, On Thursday the Lamp Post is hosting live music tonight. And Leonard Smalls is hosting his ladies night at Lucky's. On Saturday Night, Any Day Parade plays their debut show at the IMAC, while the Whoods Family Band plays the Lamppost. I am still unsure whose playing at Oharas this weekend ? The guys at 660 Grand are hosting a Warehouse Party Part 2 this weekend. Three great art spaces will be open to check in and check out. Taxi please.
Last Night, JC City Theater opened The God Committee. There performances take place at the Underground Theater at St. Micheal's. Here's the word from Clay Cockrell about the show : There's a $5 discount for organ donors :)
Let the games begin!
One heart, four transplant patients and a ticking clock. The God Committee is a medical drama full of high wire tension and crackling humor that keeps the audience on the edge of their seats for the entire evening. Issues of race, gender, and of course money are debated and argued while a newly harvested heart is racing toward the hospital.
Alliances are formed, broken and reformed as the committee argues, accuses, debates and ultimately votes. And just when the matter seems to be decided, the playwright upends the proceedings with theatrical dynamite.
In honoring their tradition of producing enticing material, J CITY Theater has once again chosen a script that confronts hard questions and does not settle for easy answers. You are invited to come out to the Underground Theater in Jersey City for an evening of electrifying theater.
Audiences are encouraged to book tickets now due to limited seating and a limited run.
The God Committee

Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays at 8:00 pm

Be Ligula - Pre Dig You La
The Moustached mis matched competitor is back tonight (Friday) to celebrate his showing (up) at last week's NY Beard and Moustache Competition, things looked good for the wild woven wonder until some heavyweights crashed the podium stairs before Jesse could claim his prize. Don't worry, there is still cause to celebrate one of JC's Hairy Hopefuls. At the stroke of midnight DJ Caligula cerebalates his birthday. Meet me on the dancefloor the place is going to as good as a sidecar ride.

Things are still booking music wise, Ohara's has the One and Nines on Saturday Night, The IMAC has America's Sweethearts (3/4 sweethearts 1/4 beefcakes) , Prison Pretty and Jon DeAngelo. On Saturday The Curvey Staights, The Fringe Dwellers, and the Smoove Sailors play first, come for early for this experimental side project of member or members of the jc sound scene at the IMAC. While Square Wave Punch is at the Lamp Post.
Sunday's Weather beckons a call for Volleyball. We'll be there about 1 to start practicing. Email me if you are ready to lead the work-out. rockitdocket@gmail.com . I'll have the bears with me, and a chair for you Autumn.

dear blog, it's been two weeks since my last confession
I am back, yeah. Jersey City. I hope you were thinking about me when I was eating paella in Barcelona. I was thinking about you (and dessert) but that's a separate subject. For now let's just back to our old routine.
Tonight (Thursday) a modified version of Higgins plays the Lamp Post. The boys are readying themselves for a a three day drive to Austin for South By South-west music showcase in Austin. They've got a show in Atlanta on Saturday, then it's 7 shows in 4 days in Austin. Billy Filo of (Twilight Procession) is "in the biz" and on bass for this tour. I am filling in for DJ Alfonse tonight, with Higgins DJ Assistance as well, but unfortunately will not be following them on tour. (I didn't mean that I love you Jersey City)
Thursday, also kicks off Lucky Seven's St. Patricks Day Week. Fueled by Corned Beef and Jameson, things start tonight with an extra special Ladies night DJ Set by Leprecahan Smalls, There will be live bands and Bagpipers on Saturday Night, DJ William McCamie on Sunday Night, with Tuesday Night's singer songwriters performing Irish Classics all night long. Check out their website http://www.lucky7tavern.com/ . Once the rainbow settles and everyone collects their Gold, come out again for My Equinox DJ Split with Leonard Smalls on Saturday the 21st. If parades are your thing, come out to Jersey City's Official St. Patricks Day Parade this Sunday at 12:30 pm.
Early on St. Patricks Day, 58's current exhibited artist, Thomas J Carlson, is preparing a special Tempeh Taco Tuesday meal at 58. Along with the taco's , Thomas is also showcasing some new drawings. Read this part carefully folks because I don't want there to be any misunderstandings when I am holding you down, on the ground, or asking you to leave. This event starts at 4pm and ends promptly at 8pm. Really, yes really, the last thing I want to do on St. Patrick's Day is deal with someone who should have been cut off after breakfast. Thomas has the Taco's, you bring a dish and/or something to drink.
Okay let me get back to Friday. Street Justice has a DJ gig it the 4 L's in Hoboken. The 45's on the ceiling of the Lamp Post let me know that I missed a good time last Friday. At the Lamp Post of Friday. DJ Caligula and Natty Adams wont be playing wax, but they will be waxing the mustaches in preparation for the New York Beard and Mustache Competition Saturday Night in Brooklyn (where else ?). You can also Catch the The One & Nines, and Paracusio at IM Automata Chino on Friday Night. If you are in the BIG city on Friday Night, My roommate, DJ William McCamie is playing at the Sullivan Room from 10 to midnight . Beforehand, he's at Bar 13 from 6 to 10 pm.
On Saturday, Art House Productions has their opening reception for Beth Achenbach's "In Search of Mother Nature" the exhibit showcases new photography, and also has Double Breasted playing.. The opening is from 8 to 11pm. Afterwards Brine and the Bastards and Lloyd Untied at LP. Also on Saturday Night , Plowing Mud Forever, promises to bring Rock back to Jersey City (or maybe more specifically, Automata Chino). But really guys did you have to say that ? okay to see them live up to their hype check them out, luckily Mutiny of the Fashionistas, and The Stun Gunz will be there to back them up.
It's 7:20 and I am hungry. that enough hype for today.
