Gather My Thoughts and Troupes

I know it's four days after the fact, but let me just say thanks again to everyone who participated in last weekend's kickball Olympics. The pains and aches that some of you are still feeling helped raise over $500 for the Learning Community Charter School. Here are Erin (Kickin it Old School) and Kirk (Zombie Apocalypse) Picture Links. As I previously may have mentioned or boasted my team, the Kunstballers (58 Gallery ) took the Gold, and then liquidated it at the White Star immediately afterwards. Easy Riders again took the Silver, while the We Love Cheese under the direction of the leadership of the Reverend Al Sharp Cheddar got Bronzed. we love cheese spirited play garnered them some Nine Lives skate shop's I Love JC gear. Thanks again to the Jersey City Tattoo Company , Balance Hair Salon. , Easy Riders , Grove Street Bikes, Another Man's Treasure , 58 Gallery and Boomerangs for their prizes. Betty from Boomerangs let me know that her store is almost completely empty. Look for some special Garage Sales at 58 in October.

Locally, Made with Love Organics has begun serving brunch on the weekends and is offering Grab n Go dinner specials. Tonight (R), there is a special Communal Dinner, with Jazzman Brendan Kibbee entertaining. On Saturday Night, Ace Case plays in. Tonight (R), I am back at the Lamppost, my little bro, Cootah. He is busy readying JC for next Saturday's 4th Street Art and Music Festival. There 18 live acts on two stages and hundreds of artist taking part in the clearly an anchor event of the Jersey City Art Studio Tour. Friday's Official Kick-off Celebration is at Grace Church (who is hosting members of tour organizers Pro Arts). 58's Annual Group show, Masks of Gods, curated by Brenda Buck and Grant Worth, Friday at 7 pm. There will plenty to see and to make it easy on your feet. Easy Riders is offering a special Art Tour Package. Let me pull back because I am getting again of this game...

Okay when I last tangent-ed, we were talking about Thursday, Jersey City's Ladies Night. Barrow Bar, and of Course Lucky Seven's Leonard Smalls will treat you right. Tonight's drinking honors Melissa Surach, who was recognized at last night's City Council meeting for her contribution the arts and Jersey City. I guess now it official now and when people say "Jersey City is a joke", we can at least say that we have a mascot ! Congrats Melissa ! Babyhole is back at the Lamp Post until IMAC reopens for the 2012 Olympics.

Friday Night's ladies recognition starts with the return of the Garden State Rollergirls to the match circuit. Their all star unit, The Iron bound Maidens skate against the Pioneer Valley squad. This bout is an alternating double header with the men's roller Derby team, The New York Shock Exchange battling against Pioneer Valley's Dirty Dozen.

A not as competitive Cake Fight takes place at Port-o-lounge for Lucky Sevens Bartender, Lena, celebrating her 25th on the 25th with DJ Motor Funker . Word out that she won't be the only celebPretty in a birthday suit though, it's double trouble when Christine noGoodman shows. In Williamsburg, Jupiter One, has their CD release party for Sunshowers. They've got the headline spot that night, then they ride shotgun for the Regina Spector tour. Congrats guys. have Fun. It's Hells Yeah at LITM, Caligula at Lamp Post, and Jason at Bar Majestic.

Saturday looks to be the sunniest of the weekend, so Volleyballers should report for duty at about 1 pm for set up. We are running out of sunlight, and the 6 hours of sunlight you just slept through got tired of waiting. again One o'clock. Night crawlers can catch Thomas Francis Takes his Chances and an equally verbosely named Strange Things done in the Midnight Sun combine for the two longest named bands to ever perform at the Lamppost. Thankfully, the Lamppost has no Marquee. In Newark, another long bill of No Pasaran, WJ and The Sweet Sacrifice will get all essexy playing with the Frozen Gentlemen and Zed Never at Kilkenny's Ale House. A shorter a sweeter story will unfold at Lucky Sevens on Saturday Night when alice 'n sophia guest DJ's with Leonard Smalls.

Leonard Smalls, Freddy Fingers (York Tavern Tuesdays) and I are all DJ-ing Sunday's Battalion Benefit for fallen Jersey City Detective Marc diNardo. Edward's Steakhouse hosts this Charity Fundraiser Cookout to benefit the Detective Marc DiNardo Memorial Fund, with a cook out featuring the grilling skills of Police Chief Comey and Fire Chief O’Rielly. Hamburgers, Hot Dogs, Chicken Sandwiches, Beer (Budweiser, Bud Light, Stella Artois,& Bass Ale), Wine, & Soda will be served.

Olympic Kickball returns to Enos Jones Field this weekend. With the undefeated White Star Team in China, the playground is open for any of seven teams to raise Gold. The two day competition is a benefit for Jersey City's Learning Community Charter School. Saturday's Qualifiers start at 12:30 with Kickin it Old School playing newcomers, The Neutronic Ninjas. The Ninjas and some of the other teams are still looking to recruit extra players, there's a kickball draft for nomads at 11:30 and then open practice until the first game. Anyyways, just show up and we'll see what we can do, careers in score keeping, refereeing and field engineering await you. On Sunday, the six top teams will compete for Gold (aka a $100 gift certificate from the White Star,) Tournament MVP's will get gift certificates from the Jersey City Tattoo Company , and a free haircut from Balance Hair Salon. with Nine Lives skate shop's putting up I Love JC merch for the most spirited players/cheerleaders. This is all about fun and event sponsors, Easy Riders , Grove Street Bikes, Another Man's Treasure , Boomerangs, and 58 Gallery have consolation prizes for the less fortunate. Consolation and celebration will also be available at the White Star both days with drink specials for teams. At the end of Saturdays matches, DJ Motor Funker take his first spin at the Vinyl Solution. At Luckys's Trip and Falle, DJ Pants aka Sara spins her birthday set with Leonard Smalls.

Earlier on Saturday, the JC Craft Mafia has a supply swap at the Stockinette from 4 to 5 pm. A group of Jersey City artists are also on the walls for the " I love my Life " show at the new Eureka Gallery in Hoboken. The show is curated by Rolando Ramos, of Artifications and Other Jam fame. DJ Purple Stuff Kevin Spyker spins you in and out. Things start at 7 pm .

Sunday volleyball is still on, but I won't be fixing any kickball games to make it there though. After we crown the kickball champs, it's time to wind down or wind up with DJ Bill McCamie at Lucky Sevens Industry Night.

Hope to see you all tomorrow.
