JC Sporting for Good or Dodgeball Tournament May 14th

Hey All,

Spring is starting to spring back;  T-shirts, shorts and high socks, you know what I am talking about here;  Yep Dodgeball, my friends. Saturday May 14th (raindate May 15th) at the Skate Park by the White Star Bar. This event is the premier event for JC Sporting for Good, a project that I started with Ms. Elise Glaser, she's putting her sorority fundraising skills to work as we look to raise money for the Grove Street Bike Rehab Program. You see, for the past two years Grove Street Bikes has refurbished nearly 300 donated and used bikes, those bikes were then recycled into transportation, mobility, and exercise for people in need. The tournament will raise money to defer to the cost of refurbishing, storing and transporting the bikes. In addition, if you know of an organization or group that could use bikes shoot me an email or contact Mike Wilson at grove street bikes.

Ok Dodgeball, maybe a little scary, but you can wear a helmet, or dress like the riot police if necessary. or those guys from the Capital One Commercial (no real knives though), we are giving out prizes to the winners AND the losers.  its a fundraiser!  not the Olympics, okay maybe we called it the Olympics, but that was just for fun. Here's the deal if I haven't lost you; $100 team of six, three gals, three guys, you can have up to ten people on your roster. $15 for lone warriors, we will set you up on a team. email jcsportingforgood(at)gmail.com. or email me or text me 973-219-9696 or call me 201-324-2886. Team registration fees need to be paid in advance, we need your money,  even if you decide the night before to break your own drinking record. Speaking of,  Drink special from the White Star all day and Survivor's dance party that night at Lucky Seven's.

To get you in the sporting mind, we have Volleyball Sunday's starting back up this....Sunday...now entering into our 11th season, these Sunday games have left such a mark that the permanent loss of grass can be seen from satellite images. We play at Morris Canal Park, aka the Jetty, aka the Pennisula. or Right Here Set up is at 12:30. All levels are welcome to play, this a a fun days that is only sometimes ruined by sore losers, so you do need to bring effort, don't let anyone tell you otherwise :).

I'll end the sports talk here

Tomorrow (W) is the Board of Education Elections : The polls open at 7 am and close at 9 pm. Downtown Councilman and Mayoral Hopeful Steve Fulop is urging citizens to vote No on the budget and is recommending three candidates . One Jersey City has two candidates they are pushing. The Jersey City Independent has a Great Meet the School Board Candidate feature, plus a bunch of political ads you can click on. The main part here is this is a real opportunity to begin the transition out of the current regime and party domination of this city. This dictatorship is boring and exhausting the city. Hey thanks for spending all of the money from the boom days, oh what we are f@cking broke and selling the museum for a $1. I'll buy it, hold on I don't buy it !

Okay as the city struggles, real groups that don't have the benefit of a budget line are trying to raise money and keep Jersey City Alive, so head over to the Cemetery this Saturday for their annual Earth Day / Arbor Day Celebration. http://www.jerseycitycemetery.org/ for all the info.

Here's some more details from my favorite Fever Fox

for those of you who haven't heard from me in a while, I've been working on this Saturday's event! Game Show Fever is a joint fundraiser for Pop-UP Art (the curating work I've been doing with Michelle Mumoli and other JC artists) and Arthouse Productions (a great JC arts non-profit). If you're in the area, come on down to Arthouse on Hamilton Park, doors open at 6, mingling and refreshments at 7 and live game show taping at 8pm. We have 26 great prizes to give away and 17 fun and quirky games designed for you to win! Tickets are $10 to attend and $25 for two chances to be called up on stage.

Hope to see you there!
Best Wishes, Beth Ann  aka Fever Fox

Junestar Mr Blackman to lead Bandtalions at this Saturday's Artstrike !

A Jersey City Independent reporter embedded with the art rebel forces confirmed that Junestar Mr. Blackman and the Afro Charlie Sheens will be the first Bandtallion of the 58th Division this Saturday Night.
Uta Brauser,  in an address to her forces, tapped Junestar for the lead, citing that General Roland Ramos forces would not be able to reach the Mansion until 21:00 hours (that 9 pm). Brauser in a 30 second voice mail said "unleashing anything with Charlie Sheen associated to it" was a spiritual as much as logistical choice.
Furthermore, Braser confirmed that Lucinda's Crepes and Jersey Wine and Spirits will be with the initial brigade, so good rations will be aplenty. Leaked military plans also revealed that The Radio Exiles will follow June Star, with Roland Ramos. Ladell McLin and finally, Wyldlife will end the celebration.

Support in the Airwaves will be lead by DJ Motor Funker , who will be dropping beats like bombs all night in the Bunker Bowling Alley, with Lightning Brigade of Norm Francoer .

People of Jersey City, we ask you to join us.

About the organizations.

Please join us for an opportunity to help two vital art organizations here in Jersey City. Creative Grove(Arts in Action, a non profit for the arts), ...providing and outdoor space in the public where artists can showcase themselves, bring installations, interactive ideas, work for sale, performances, music, deejays and build an independent market place for the locally handmade.. 58 Longevity Fund is a non profit organization raising money to help 58 Gallery with zoning issues and grant support.

About the bands :

JUNESTAR MRBLACKMAN AND THE CHARLIE AFRO SHEENS @ 7:45
RADIO EXILES @ 8:35
ROLAND RAMOS PRESENTS @ 9:25
http://www.rolandramospresents.com/
RRP, or Roland Ramos Presents, transports concert-goers to the islands and into the stratosphere simultaneously. Often finding inspiration in the slightest utterance, the band goes from zero to 10,000 in a matter of bars (excuse the pun). Roland Ramos also runs the Open Jam session at The Lamppost Bar every Wednesday.

LADELL MCLIN @ 10:15
Guitarist, singer, and songwriter Ladell Mclin
http://new.ladellmclin.com/

Ladell has been described as an artist who possesses the ability to transcend the bounds of conventional music through his muse, the blues. Born on the South Side of Chicago, a notable center for the blues, Ladell discovered the music that would be profoundly influential in his life. He then worked to hone his seemingly natural talents on the guitar.

Nurtured by his musical family’s close ties to Chicago’s most notable and historic creators of the blues, Ladell began playing at Buddy Guy’s famed nightclub, Legends, with musicians such as John Primer, and Eddie Burks. Ladell then became a touring member of the James “Blood” Ulmer and Fernando Jones’ bands.

WYLDLIFE @ 11:05

Forming out of Purchase College, Wyldlife quickly strided into the New York music scene with a pair of leather boots on their feet and a mission in their hearts: to bury the days of tame rock and roll. Still digging on their collection of 70′s punk and power pop, perhaps the boys were born into the entirely wrong decade altogether? Or perhaps they realize that to get an audience on its feet, all that’s need is a fast beat and a loud melody- a timeless simplicity enhanced with refined grit that has (nearly) been lost in today’s clutter of rock boredom. The Nicotine EP, Wyldlife’s newest and highly-addictive release, is guaranteed to create arguments over which track is best.

With an insanely kinetic live show that has been compared to Iggy & The Stooges, The Hives and The Ramones, it seems that all ground is covered. The gang is onto something bigger and want to take you along for the ride.

Let’s move!

Underground Art Leaders call for City-Wide Art Strike Saturday March 26th

For Immediate Release (and prolonged pleasure)

(Jersey City, NJ) Uta Brauser from Creative Grove and Orlando Reyes of the Fifty Eight  announced a planned Art Strike for Saturday March 26th. In a joint communique, leader of the rebel forces and noted "Outlaw", Orlando Reyes said that five Bandtallions will join the 58th infantry in the artsault on the Barrow Mansion. Creative Grove, art strong woman Uta Brauser also vowed to unleash a barrage of art on the facility. Brauser, in an earlier interview, cited that several local artists had already donated pieces to help the rebels funding efforts. Additionally, illuminationist Norm Francoer,  pledged to light up the mansion, going so far to say that he plans to make turns "the bowling alley in the basement into a disco inferno". This assertion was reiterated by DJ Motor Funker who guaranteed a sound throw down of epic proportions. Further claims by the Dancing Tony, the groups Sinsiter of Information, of a stockpile of Rockit Docket's could not be confirmed at press time.  However, even without verifying this information, our sources were able to confirm that the group has gone so far as to establish a safe corridor between the Mansion and Lucky Sevens in the event the group needs to retreat to higher ground with a planned curfew to take place at midnight.

Volunteers and new recruits can contact Dancing Tony at rockitdocket@gmail.com  for further information in helping the cause.

Listed Below is the full communique.

Saturday Morning Cartoons

I used to get up this early all the time to watch cartoons, now I get to sit in front of another screen for hours.

Drop buy 58 today. In order to make room for our new brazilian roommates, Au Capiero, we are clearing out the garage. With the exception of 4 black and red chairs that went missing last Friday, most of the garage contents are up for sale. Plus, If you didn't get a chance to check out/ buy one of Ken Bastard's PULP pieces,

I'll be out today posting some flyers for our Art Strike event. Sorry I bet you can see it well on your smart phone. The Art Strike is a joint fundraiser between Creative Grove  and  58 . Five bands, disco bowling, arts, food and drink for $20 or $15 with a non perishable food donation.

Today you can show some local support at the Speakeasy event at the Historic JC and Harimus Cemetery at 2 pm. Things are starting to warm up and be on the look out for a Pushing Up the Daisies festival in May/June. WFMU is also down to there last two days of their fundraising marathon, with the final hours wrapping up in tomorrow night at Maxwell's.

Tonight (S), I am heading to the Cake Shop for The Everymen Record Release Party. With Thomas Francis Takes His Chances, Gross Relations and Sunshower Orphans. TFTHC is on second so don't pregame yourself too much.

city wide arts to engulf sleep burrough - culture expected to swell beyond tolerable levels

Run to the supermarket and start hoarding as many "c"  batteries as the courtesy clerk will allow you to purchase, a great storm that has been brewing for the last three months again will threaten our quaint village ! sadly we sacrificed our only virgin the last time the JCFridays Dragon appeared and now it looks as the city will feel the full force of this art breathing monster. Sensational stories have already appeared in the windows of Fifty Eight Gallery, as newsman Ken Bastard (formerly wLITM news) has posted giant 5 foot warning signs that date back to the first appearance of the JC Fridays Dragon in the 1930's. This PULP should be taken seriously, and these in need of cleansing their AUDIO BODIES can do so with the OLDE GHOST's power. Mind you, others have gathered to to anticipate this attack and you can take shelter at any of these listed places www.jcfridays.com . Fearing an apocolypse, many have planned to gather at 660 Grand later this evening to ask one of the last Dragon Slayers for help. Prey for us.

Recovery can be short lived on Saturday. As our sister city, Hoboken, will be engulfed in a green storm of St. Patricks Day. Fear not my love, you can always escape to Newark for more art.

Sunday, a Dragons revenge awaits with 4th Street Art Chili cook-off. Parlay studios (behind Shoprite) host this second annual event. Bring the heat 2 pm to 6 pm.
