JC Life Sentences

Before I recite every thing in my Facebook events pages. I wanted to foreshadow to next week's Cinco de Mayo Chili Cook-off and my May 11th Pushing Up the Daisies Fundraiser at the Historic JC and Harsimus Cemetery. We could use volunteers for both of these events to make JC happen.contact me if you would like to help out.

Secondly, May 14th is the upcoming JC Mayoral and City Council Elections. The Rock-it Docket doesn't endorse candidates, we promote voting and participation. During the last election, roughly 25 % of the voting age population participated, that mean that 13% of the total voting population choose your mayor and city council.

Check out the final Mayoral debate on May 2nd.

17 Year Cicada - New Works by Kayt Hester

SAT 08/24 @ 9pm Port-o- Lounge he 17 Year Cicada – New Art Work by Kayt Hester – opens August 24th at Port- O Lounge, one of the handful of downtown Jersey City restaurants/art galleries that, by presenting to new audiences, up & coming and established local artists, are transforming the New York Metropolitan area Art World. As the title of the exhibition suggests, this edition of the yearly Hester Summer Showcase coalesces around the theme of Magicada Cicadas – the species of cicadas that only appear every 17 years. Her more recent work also expands her use of texture and color. Augmenting her black masking tape are new, extraordinary details made of brightly colored, metallic tape. She also has incorporated embroidery to canvases, essentially embedding 21st century needlepoint within her tape illustrations.

The Attic Ensemble Presents

Nov 7 to 18h @ Barrow Mansion | August, 1949. A fascinatingly realistic picture of routine cases brought into a bustling metropolitan police station in the course of an evening. Out of the welter of human misery, vice and foolishness there emerges the moving case of a decent young man who has stolen money from his employer; a hardened criminal dragging his young friend down with him; a lawless NJ "gardener" with a corrupt lawyer; and others. In the throes of the tumult is Detective McLeod -- a man whose black & white vision of justice will be challenged by the woman he loves most: his wife. A cast of 22 men and women will bring this drama of truth and consequences to life on the stage.
