240 years old America, wow ! [changed from God to keep this secular] I remember when you were pushing 200, still trying to figure out what to do after Vietnam, Watergate. Then came Atari, Star Wars, Reagan and Madonna and we were all good, with no problems to report from the last 40 years, let’s get to celebrating. Volleyball ? BBQ ? Music ? Fireworks ? Karaoke ? check, check and double check my friends. While the city hosts the biggest FREE party in New Jersey at Liberty State Park with the Freedom and Fireworks Festival , we we will be just across canal at Morris Canal Park the way 17th annual BBQ-Volleyball-Croquet-Tanning extravaganza. We start setting up at 11 ish, things get underway at noon. Please bring something to share, be it food, ice, good company. Also, please be mindful and ready to clean-up after yourself. You can leave a message on the facebook page about what your are bringing. Things start at noon and descend into a fireworks – then karaoke – then dance party til about 10 pm. Speaking off BBQ, if you haven’t marked your calendars yet its 2 weeks until Lucky 7’s RocknRoll BBQ [10 bands 4 pigs- one pool]
Hey, thanks to everyone who came out to last Saturday’s show at Transmission, which I can say is downtown Jersey City’s only official club. Opened last year around this time, the sound proofed back room hosts DJ’s and last Saturday was the first time hosting rock bands. For those of you who came out thank you for supporting, for the neighbors that continue to complain about music, thank you for making it my last rock show there until further notice. I am assuming the same won’t happen this Friday for the ChicPeaJC Silent Disco Event. Tonight, you won’t need headphones to hear me at Lucky 7’s it will be one of two night [I’ll also be there Saturday Night] that I will be behind the digital screen. Tonight you know is Ladies Night and Saturday expect a salute to America with me and/or DJ Uncle Sam. Sunday Night will be equally bumping with IRIS records Steve +Steve for spINDUSTRY Sunday on J4 EVE. USA USA USA
