Gather My Thoughts and Troupes

I know it's four days after the fact, but let me just say thanks again to everyone who participated in last weekend's kickball Olympics. The pains and aches that some of you are still feeling helped raise over $500 for the Learning Community Charter School. Here are Erin (Kickin it Old School) and Kirk (Zombie Apocalypse) Picture Links. As I previously may have mentioned or boasted my team, the Kunstballers (58 Gallery ) took the Gold, and then liquidated it at the White Star immediately afterwards. Easy Riders again took the Silver, while the We Love Cheese under the direction of the leadership of the Reverend Al Sharp Cheddar got Bronzed. we love cheese spirited play garnered them some Nine Lives skate shop's I Love JC gear. Thanks again to the Jersey City Tattoo Company , Balance Hair Salon. , Easy Riders , Grove Street Bikes, Another Man's Treasure , 58 Gallery and Boomerangs for their prizes. Betty from Boomerangs let me know that her store is almost completely empty. Look for some special Garage Sales at 58 in October.

Locally, Made with Love Organics has begun serving brunch on the weekends and is offering Grab n Go dinner specials. Tonight (R), there is a special Communal Dinner, with Jazzman Brendan Kibbee entertaining. On Saturday Night, Ace Case plays in. Tonight (R), I am back at the Lamppost, my little bro, Cootah. He is busy readying JC for next Saturday's 4th Street Art and Music Festival. There 18 live acts on two stages and hundreds of artist taking part in the clearly an anchor event of the Jersey City Art Studio Tour. Friday's Official Kick-off Celebration is at Grace Church (who is hosting members of tour organizers Pro Arts). 58's Annual Group show, Masks of Gods, curated by Brenda Buck and Grant Worth, Friday at 7 pm. There will plenty to see and to make it easy on your feet. Easy Riders is offering a special Art Tour Package. Let me pull back because I am getting again of this game...

Okay when I last tangent-ed, we were talking about Thursday, Jersey City's Ladies Night. Barrow Bar, and of Course Lucky Seven's Leonard Smalls will treat you right. Tonight's drinking honors Melissa Surach, who was recognized at last night's City Council meeting for her contribution the arts and Jersey City. I guess now it official now and when people say "Jersey City is a joke", we can at least say that we have a mascot ! Congrats Melissa ! Babyhole is back at the Lamp Post until IMAC reopens for the 2012 Olympics.

Friday Night's ladies recognition starts with the return of the Garden State Rollergirls to the match circuit. Their all star unit, The Iron bound Maidens skate against the Pioneer Valley squad. This bout is an alternating double header with the men's roller Derby team, The New York Shock Exchange battling against Pioneer Valley's Dirty Dozen.

A not as competitive Cake Fight takes place at Port-o-lounge for Lucky Sevens Bartender, Lena, celebrating her 25th on the 25th with DJ Motor Funker . Word out that she won't be the only celebPretty in a birthday suit though, it's double trouble when Christine noGoodman shows. In Williamsburg, Jupiter One, has their CD release party for Sunshowers. They've got the headline spot that night, then they ride shotgun for the Regina Spector tour. Congrats guys. have Fun. It's Hells Yeah at LITM, Caligula at Lamp Post, and Jason at Bar Majestic.

Saturday looks to be the sunniest of the weekend, so Volleyballers should report for duty at about 1 pm for set up. We are running out of sunlight, and the 6 hours of sunlight you just slept through got tired of waiting. again One o'clock. Night crawlers can catch Thomas Francis Takes his Chances and an equally verbosely named Strange Things done in the Midnight Sun combine for the two longest named bands to ever perform at the Lamppost. Thankfully, the Lamppost has no Marquee. In Newark, another long bill of No Pasaran, WJ and The Sweet Sacrifice will get all essexy playing with the Frozen Gentlemen and Zed Never at Kilkenny's Ale House. A shorter a sweeter story will unfold at Lucky Sevens on Saturday Night when alice 'n sophia guest DJ's with Leonard Smalls.

Leonard Smalls, Freddy Fingers (York Tavern Tuesdays) and I are all DJ-ing Sunday's Battalion Benefit for fallen Jersey City Detective Marc diNardo. Edward's Steakhouse hosts this Charity Fundraiser Cookout to benefit the Detective Marc DiNardo Memorial Fund, with a cook out featuring the grilling skills of Police Chief Comey and Fire Chief O’Rielly. Hamburgers, Hot Dogs, Chicken Sandwiches, Beer (Budweiser, Bud Light, Stella Artois,& Bass Ale), Wine, & Soda will be served.

monday --- not yet.

DJ Purple Stuff Kevin Spyker spins you in and out. Things start at 7 pm .


Sunday volleyball is still on, but I won't be fixing any kickball games to make it there though. After we crown the kickball champs, it's time to wind down or wind up with DJ Bill McCamie at Lucky Sevens Industry Night.

Okay as for those membership Tues...

Tonight(T) or also known as as we speak, The Paul Vincent Gallery continues their weekly Life Drawing Classes. Melisa Surach's Babyhole, will be held exile on the second floor of the Iron Monkey. Adopting a late-night approach to her program, Ms. Surach has conscripted Snowball 37 as Tuesday Nights house and warm-up band. The comedy starts at 10 pm with six slots available for the willing, special guests, Dave Angelo and Bredan Fitzgibbons keep things legit and musical comedy powerhouse Ike and Mike the Perfect 10 roll you too. Melissa's uncomfortable comedy routines sometime make you feel like you just kissed your cousin, but don't worry not every sketch is like a tongue kiss :) plus, plus The Iron Monkey rooftop will also have a secretive meeting of WFMU's "Best Show" enthusiasts and radio guest for the clan-destined of the Friends of Tom club.

Across town, talent will be crooning at Luckys Seven's with live music and the Lamp Posts' open mike Talent Show hosted by Kevin Spyker. The stage is set, come play it.....

Wednesday's live entertainment, will be served at this week's city council meeting. The proposed Redevelopment Pay-to-Play Reform Ordinance, drafted by Civic JC and Citizens' Campaign, proposed by Councilman Steven Fulop and unanimously voted to be introduced on the first reading by the municipal council is on the council agenda for second reading, public hearing and possible vote. The ordinance was first introduced (and almost unanimously rejected) two years ago. Now with Councilwoman Nida Lopez on the grill for filing taxes returns under two different names in two different states and Council President Mariano's Vega'$ problems, the call for reforms has grown. There's a planned pre-rally at 5:30 for the 6 pm meeting.

After the council votes on renaming Newark Avenue Dancing Tony Way, quietly shuffle out the wood doors and make your way to your gig at the Stockinette for the Hominid's Season Ender. Jack Parson's Moon Children , Colin Comstack and Chris Nye host what may be the Grand Finale (Jack Parsons Moon Child a plays Thursday September 17th at the Alphabet Lounge.) Also looking to leave Jersey City, Any Day Parade will be breaking up tonight !! really, but don't cry in your beer, this just means that ADP Drummer, Pat Byrne (DJ Lucha) spins at Luckys with ADP guest DJs, and ADP bass player Chuck Daly is spinning at the Lamp Post.

You won't have to worry about missing Groove on Grove this Wednesday, we've moved the show to JC Friday with LITM serving their summer lemonade and Bar Majestic filling in the gaps. In case of rain, the show will be under a tent, Euro Latin Funk artist Rebecca Valejo starts things at 6pm, Brooklyn's Overlord, plays a indie/pop/rock sound with JC keyboardsman Tris McCall. At 8pm, Jody Porter, who not only plays with Fountain of Wayne, but is also another Jersey City resident takes the stage with Dan Haag (Campbell Apartment) and Marty O'Kane ( April Smith and the Great Picture Show ) , whom also cal JC, home. The night closes at 9 pm with American Anthemists, the Milwaukees . You can catch some live music on Wednesday at the Hominid Party the Stockinette.

While the other galleries are gearing up for JC Fridays, on Thurday Night 58 is proud to present Hioshi Kumgai's Garden of Binary Love, first views are at 7 pm, with at 9 pm sharp show of the watery analog sound of Newarks' Una Pong . For JC Fridays, we have a date 9 pm date with the The Frozen Gentlemen . Thursday's after-party at the Lamppost welcomes DJ Leonard Smalls !!who, in order to keep his two year attendance record at Ladies Night in tact, is taking up shelter at the Lamp Post while Lucky Seven's is sealed off for a Mercy Hospital TV Shoot. Regularly, I am forced to go up against the Sir Charles, but the good forces of network Television have me teaming up with him for this special Ladies Night then we seal the deal on Saturday at Luckys for my pre-birthday DJ set. It's all part of the birthday week philsophy.

Thursday Night takes WJ and the Sweet Sacrifice to Arlene's grocery for benefit for Adrianna Cavanagh, a 2 year old girl recently diagnosed with cancer. WJ plays at 11 pm with friends Katy Mae at 10pm.

JC Fridays is worthy of a full post, but for me to do so would divert another 4 hours away from my 2007 apartment reorganization Master Plan. Plus here the full list . There are a couple added bonuses for JC Fridays, THE WAREHOUSE a new art/event space at 140 Bay Street , in the Powerhouse opens its doors to present “Bird Minus Fish.” Conceptual design by Atelier Production (StockinetteOx Events). Next week the Warehouse will begin showing free films on Thursday Nights. The Grassroots Community Space is Teaming up with the Railroad Studio for a full ensemble of events, while JC Fridays Founders, ART HOUSE PRODUCTIONS has kept their schedule light with an opening reception at Cosi Gallery for artist Manya Kotlin who presents a series of "oil drawings" a medium Kotlin and hei cohorts created in the late 1980’s in Saint Petersburg, Russia.
A heavy schedule of events will keep things going almost all night at the Grassroots Community Space (54 Coles Street). At the Lex Leonard Gallery, ROTATION new work by Maurizio Zuluaga's will be on display.

Labor Daze

Okay all of you fans of drawing, sketching, char coaling, painting naked people. This week, three of your local life drawing classes are working together on an Exquisite Corpse drawing Project and fundraiser. Tonight's (R) Life Drawing at Paul Vincent Studios, 58's Thursday Life Drawing Class [correction there is no drawing class at the Lex Leonard Gallery this friday ] will all dedicate the final 20 minutes of their classes to allow artists to draw either a head, torso, or legs to be used for the project. The event is a benefit for Peace by Piece Studio. For more information please contact the Tina Maneca at Manecatin (at) hotmail.com. Rumor has it that Jersey City Craft Mafia is also involved so please be careful :). And for those needing more bodies of proof check out next Saturday's (9/12) exhibit at the Jonathan Levine Gallery, London artist d*face, will be "Re-interpreting the exquisite corpse concept, each piece in Ludovico Aversion Therapy features a singular composite subject created using an amalgamation of various branded corporate identity mascots combined with classic superhero characters, interspersed with typography derived from comic book art and advertising." I ope that cleared things up in your head.

The completed Exquisite Corpse works will be on display during the Jersey City Art Studio Tour Weekend October 3 -5th. With limited city funding, the struggle to raise and find funds is keeping all of us busy. Yep that's our jobs folks trying to make a scene happen and trying to pay for it at the same time. In case you didn't notice, Creative Grove took a hiatus last Friday, and even though it rained, the event was cancelled for costs, or lack of. And if you made last Wednesdays Movie at Van Vorst, again that was the final movie of the season unless more funds can be raised. And for teh projects I am working on again, I don't want to throw up the hay sh*t we have a problem, but again it's money that matters in making things happen in the city. So please support your local businesses that support the arts and supports the arts when you can. For the 4th Street Art and Music festival we are auctioning off a bike (see fl yer on side) and next Sunday we have a Mac and Cheese bake off.

Wednesday's Line-up for Groove on Grove has Snow Ball 37 and Lamp Post Band Booker and Bartender, Joe Conderacci's Third Party out for a sunny day. In between the two bands, Jersey City's Brazilian martial artists, Au Capoeira will dancefightsing their wares with a demonstration. Their classes are Tuesdays and Thursdays at Grassroots Community Space. Equal Degrees of Sunshowers will also be found at Jupiter One's listening party at Piano's this evening (7pm). For an afterward, Steff has recruited Chico Mann's Marcos Garcia to spin for the GonG after party at Lamppost while DJ Sup Babes has Luckys undercover.

On Thursday Night, Ben Franklin is bringing crates of their new CD, Optimist to Pianos for a record release party. I'll be bringing my crates of tunes to the Lamp Post on Thursday for a Pre-labor Day weekend karaoke dance off, as usual it should be an all dude affair with Leonard Smalls holding the ladies hostage at Luckys...Next Saturday on September 12th, I'll be pre celebrating my birthday at Luckys with Leonard Smalls so mark it down. On Friday Night, I am spinning for DJ Hells Yeah at LITM.

Comedy Night at the Stockinette returns this Friday. You can start laughing at 7:30 Asie Mohtarez http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pFlH50aKY0, Dave Greek http://www.davegreek.com/
