My parents were always avid grillers. From the hottest day in summer to the coldest winter day, only a rainy day could grant me a respite of my mother calling me from work to "set up the grill". Kingsford Briquettes were the brand of choice, same routine every time, following the instructions on the side of the bag ; make a pyramid, add lighter fluid, wait one minute, light. Never failed, at most it faltered and that only game me the opportunity to disobey the instructions on the lighter fluid " Do not pour on open flame !"
Sunday, we have some good grilling going on for a special cause. The Historic Jersey City and Harsimus Cemetery [ the location of last year, and this year's Ghost of Uncle Joe's Halloween Party] i hoping to raise some $50,000 to obtain a matching grant, in addition their running tight on their expenses and are in need of some financial assistance. So we've gathered up 6 bands, 2 lanes of bowling, racks of ribs and cans of beer to have a nice Sunday Cook-out. It's Sunday, so we are starting things early at 3pm. Live Music by Leaf Pile, The Audio Bodies, The Milwaukees, Ladell McLin, Bad Cop [Nashville], and Thomas Francis Takes His Chances all team up for this event. $25 entry with BBQ from Lucky's, $20 without, $5 off admission with two non perishable food items to donate for the St. Matthew's Food Pantry. Can't make it but can donate www.jerseycitycemetery.org
There's live music leading up to this all week. A new doubled down effort has been going on at the Lamp Post, courtesy of Zac Clark and Jen Schwartz of Ghost Train PR on Saturday's and Thursday Knights Candice. Ghost Train is also booking Lucky's Tuesday Nights, a good way to get some shows under your belt.
This Wednesday's Groove on Grove is a Three Round Bout Showcase with Pat Van Dyke, Sylvana Joyce and the Moment, with the Defending Champions, stepping into the ring last.
That's all for now have to make a flyer run. This Internet thing can be misleading. Before I go, please don't forget about Kayt Hester's Caribou at LITM next Tuesday. The artwork is all inspired by the Pixies as will be my play list.

July 4th BBQ | Volleyball | Festival of Light @ the Jetty aka Morris Canal aka the Korean War Memorial (155 Washington St.)
sometimes when you have the same party every year you can just use the same email
Jersey City may be cutting it's budget on Fireworks (actually, they have been canceled) but that doesn't equate to us cancelling the annual July 4th BBQ and Volleyball. NOPE, it means another DIY opportunity in Jersey City.
Jersey City Festival of Lights Party
BBQ | Volleyball | Karaoke | Dance party
Noon to Doom. (set-up at 11 am) Folks I really need a couple of people to set-up
Folks here's what we need to do, without burning down half of Jersey City, we need to illuminate the coast. So bring flash lights, colored lights, glow sticks, and think about a way that we let launch a giant, illuminated balloon to let Macy's know that we blew our fireworks money on crack. :) JC's infamous Illuminiationist NORM FRANCOUR filling the minivan. I plan to bring a generator so we have a power source.
If all goes according to plans once dust comes, we will have an illuminated, karaoke, dance party on the waterfront.
WHAT TO BRING (text me or message below)
Bring Games :
We have the volleyball net set up, but only 12 people can play at once so check your parents garage for :
Horseshoes, Paddle ball, Bocce, Frisbee
Bring Food for the BBQ:
We will have two grills :
I am marinating a couple of London broils and veggies for the grill.

we need someone to say yes to :
Burgers - Thank you Matt from White Star / Captain Al's
veggie burgers 12 - we need - but i assume a vegetarian will bring them.
burger buns Thank you Matt from White Star / Captain Al's
hot dogsThank you Matt from White Star / Captain Al's
hot dog buns Thank you Matt from White Star / Captain Al's
some chicken, or somefunky type of sausages, or better yet help cook.
Bring something to drink :
I am bringing two cases of water and soda, and making some lemonade. Jersey City Police frown upon bringing a keg to the park so use your f*cking brain folks and maybe make some punch. also we will most likely Big Red Plastic cups 16oz.
Help DJ ?
Help Clean-up ?
Help Norm set-up his lights ?
If you haven't gotten the point yet, if your idea of contributing to a group is just showing up with a pack of cigarettes, do me a favor and find another BBQ. Thanks I love you Jersey City but it's time you got your sh+t together
Message up on what you can Bring.

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.

Game Show Fever Pandemic Spreads Through Jersey City
Local hospitals are having difficulty containing a recent outbreak of Game Show Fever. If you are experiencing cold sweats, itchy palms and urges to bid and win on nearly $5,000 worth of prizes come on up to Art House this Saturday.
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.
For more info check out the event page on facebook, visit Art House Productions
or look at this article that came out this morning in the Jersey City Independent!
