Midnight at Moonlight or Begin the Beginning

Here we go 2013 coming to a close. All right dust of your tux for a seven to 8 hour night, that could either end up with you Taking the Polar Bear Plunge at Coney Island or Brunch. After waking to the sound of 2013 ringing in at Sushi Tango last year, I am happy again to spending the days leading up to and away from 2014 cleaning up for a party and after a party. The street address is the same as in the past, but this years festivities at 58 Coles Street will be the debut event for the Moonlight Mile Recording Studio. Transplanted from Hoboken to make room for more luxury condos, Mike Mobius is showcasing The Wreaths and Thomas Francis Takes His Chances. After the ball drop and the bands are done, we will follow up with a Dance Party til late with George Soul Fern | Motor Funker | Dancing Tony and Brian Jones. doors are at 10 pm $10 before bands 1:30 am / $5 afterwards BYOB OK.

Whatever, you choose, please have a safe and happy new year's eve. Speaking of, please take a minute and read up on the proposed change in Ambulance Contract from Jersey City Medical Center to CarePoint/McCabe. A couple of months ago, when I saw JCMC EMTs with a petition at the Bagel shop, I didn't thin much of it. But the more I hear,the more against I am having the for-profit CarePoint/McCabe take over. please help save our EMS.

Be on the look out for a newly designed Rock-it Docket for 2014, along with all the good things that an official information source should have like advertising, I can do this for free anymore JC.
