The Following Saturday - Sept 14th is the Kickball - Horseshoe section of the JC Olympics. Sorry that we had to postpone dodge ball last week. Kickball is an all time favorite, so if you are looking to host a team or play post here.

I'm out of Free Time ..../.That's it for now...

3.2.1. Dodgeball ! 17 years since my last blog post

Really not that long, but it has been 17 years since the Cicadas last emerged from their sex deprived hibernation. This Saturday, we celebrate their return with new works by Kayt Hester at Port-O Lounge. Opening starts at 9 pm. I've got the DJ reins after 10 pm..

Earlier on that Saturday, the JC Olympics continues with sports 3 and 4 of the Sex-Tathalon with Dodgeball and Shuffleboard at noon. We'll be at the Skate Park at Enus Jones Field [Pavonia and Brunswick St.'s] at noon setting up. First games are at 1 pm. So far we've raised about $300 for the JC Recreation Foundation. Sadly,  WE would have raised more money, but the Mayor beats us at the Belmar Chase 5K  two weeks ago, plus a bunch of us we're drinking at that time and unable to participate.

On Sunday, a fundraiser that is guaranteed to get you soaked  takes place at the Boys and Girls club on Sunday Aug 25th. Apparently, not since Hurricane Sandy will so much water be rained on our citizens. The event is a BYOB [balloon] affair benefiting the Boys and Girls Clubs of Jersey City. Don't worry about running out of ammo, JC Municipal registration for the event is here www.jcwaterballoon.com.

I'm DJing tonight Thursday for Ladies Night at Lucky 7's. DJ William McCamie is up at Sanai's on Summit Ave. On Saturday Night,  Motor Funker Radio spins and Monday....Metal Madess with DJ Moranis is on the decks both at Lucky's .

Groove on Grove is finishing up our final two showcases starting with our Back to School Special Showcase on August 28th with JC Young and Emerging Artist taking the stage this Wednesday at 5pm. Then we'll close things off with our JC Fridays Finale with Bryan Benninghove's Hangmen, Kiwi, The One and Nines, and Rebeca Vallejo. JC Fridays will also mark the return of art at 58 Coles Street with Quadrivium by Maurizio Zuluga. A full listing of JC Fridays events is here.

On Saturday September 7th, we'll be hosting an all DJ fundraiser for the Historic JC and Harsimus Cemetery. This Private event requires you to RSVP and buy tickets in advance. You can do so by paypaling a $10 donation or an VIP $25 donation to the cemetery here. Make sure in the special notes section you list your name or names for each entry. And just in case you were wondering. Here's a partial line-up for the year's Ghost of Uncle Joe's Halloween Party this year. Elvis Costello and the Attractions, Sly and the Family Stone, The Doors, Roxy Music, B-52's, Radiohead, Weezer, The Violent Femmes, The Who, Cream, Joy Division,  plus plus.

It is truly an Honor

Ah,  the unofficial start of the summer, beaches, bbqs, and "incredible blow-out super summer prices" A true American dream, not brought to you by Marlboro, Budweiser, of Ford but by the American Servicemen and Woman who fought for and in some cases gave their lives for our everyday freedoms. 

Please take a moment of remembrance for them today. If you want something more formal, head up the the Historic JC & Harsimus Cemetery for a  beautiful Memorial Day Tribute "HONORING OUR HEROES" -this Monday at 1 p.m. - at Historic Jersey City & Harsimus Cemetery, 435 Newark Avenue, Jersey City. This is a free public patriotic military & musical tribute for our thousand of soldiers. It's really lovely. Also, Very exicted to announce that our very own beautiful and talented niece, Ms. ANNA MILANI, (Just turned 10!) (Caroling & Dave's daughter) will be leading off our program this year singing The National Anthem!!! Also, our lovely Ms. Chimene Petitt will be entertaining the troops with her Hudson View Ensemble, along with our very own Piano Man Mr. Aart Markenstein performing too, along with yours truly!! Hope you will try to make it & join me in also honoring our Dad & Grandpa, Sergeant James Carr, & a special salute to my two favorite nephew soldiers, Tommy & Judy's sons Ryan & Chris Carr. The program runs about 1 hour , 20 minutes. Afterwards, our volunteers & some families/friends will stay on and join us for a Bar-B-Q. Hope you can come. Flyer is attached. Please try to let me know if you think you might come and stay for the BBQ, so we can plan enough food! But if we run out, there's always lots of extra berries, plus the 200 year old natural Colonial Romaine lettuce!!! [from Eileen Markestein, Exec Director] 

Additionally, we will be having a Volleyball|Wiffleball|BBQ at Morris Canal at 1pm. Text me if you need some advice on what to bring.

Vote Tomorrow MAY 14th or It's easy at 5A, 10B, and 3C or Vote for Dan Fulop and Steve Levin

NOTE: At some time in this blog I will be endorsing candidates, since the Rock-it Docket usually lets people know what I am doing personally and publicly, I am going to shed some light what I will be doing privately on May 14th, next time I'll try to make time to start a completely separate blog.

Okay Why VOTE in the first place ? I know you are busy from 6 am to 8pm on Tuesday. But make time, or make coffee and then make time. JC municipal elections have historically had  lower voter turn-out at about 30%. That means that 1.6 in 10 voters decide who is going to run our city ! The last time I had 1.6 [you can round it up to 2] people running my life,  I was living in my parent's basement.

But "I don't know the candidates?" Click here for Jersey City Independent's Voter Information Guide. Here you can find your voting location, and links on how to deal with any election day issues. In the end,  if you aren't sure who to vote for? take advantage of the personal choice feature and write-in your 7th grade Social Studies Teacher, your American Idol Star, the soda who you think should have won the Pepsi challenge  Just Vote. By the way the winner should have been RC cola.

OKAY HERE'S THE SERIOUS STUFF- CLOSE YOUR EYES OR FORGET HOW TO READ

Mayor - I'm voting for Steve Fulop. I believe in Steve and I think he will steer Jersey City to do better things in a pro-active approach. There is no doubt that in the 17 years I have been in Jersey City, things have drastically changed, not always for the better, but I believe that Steve has the best interests in mind for the future if Jersey City.

Ward E Councilman - I am voting for Dan Levin. I've know Dan for along time, he's been actively involved as a community organizer and activist [Bike JC & JC Landmarks Conservancy] and ardent supporter of the art community, Dan frequently attends my events with his family, he doesn't just make appearance, he is in attendance. Dan also believes in transparent and ethical government and has worked hard to make government responsible to it's citizens and taxpayers.

There are three positions for Councilman At Large:

I am voting for current councilman Rolando Lavarro [Team Fulop] and Omar Perez [Team Healy] I'm yet to finalize my last choice. I have to do some more research myself, better get cracking.

JUST PLEASE VOTE ON MAY 14th
