I planned to check out the Brennan Coffee House performance by folk artist Antje Duvekot earlier this month, but I missed it because I was out of town.

Did any JCListers out there make it to the show? Or have any of you checked out past Brennan Coffee House performances? Just curious to know what they're like.

Ugh. I feel terrible about missing this! Really wanted to be there. Anybody know if she plays venues in JC on a (semi) regular basis? I checked out her website but only saw a listing for a recital in the Bronx, which is a little far afield for me...

I was and am concerned since I am a resident nearby and asked the local police (i.e., car #2997) what was the problem. He quipped by stating, "Do you have a problem?"

Hmmmm........a Jersey City cop acting like a colossal ignorant a-hole for no good reason? Hard to believe.

I was wondering why there was sand all over the street. It was cooking oil?? Why would a restaurant dump oil in the middle of a street? That cannot be true.

Best one I've seen this week was this morning while I was crossing Jersey Ave from Mercer St. The red light was backed up, and a car heading up Jersey (towards Columbus) stopped so as not to block the crosswalk. I was crossing in front of that car, almost to the sidewalk, when out of nowhere, a woman who wasn't even in a lane came up on the side of that car trying to cut them. I guess she was feeling generous, though, because I received an angry gesture that indicated I could continue to the sidewalk.
...I guess it's better than the other week when I was cursed at by a driver for crossing on a walk signal at Jersey and Columbus because they wanted to make a turn.

Anyone who has ever tried to get any work done on their place knows that JC is corrupt. The only thing that surprises me is that the guy didn't take the bribe. But as mentioned before, it is probably because it is too low. You all can defend them all you want, but the truth is there are many many people on the take in JC and Hoboken including the people you have to go and complain to.

If you were the same family that was in there letting your kids scream while you tuned it out, then good riddance.

If not, bummer, but "family places" don't usually have AC/DC stools.

I just wanted to post my recent experience at Taqueria.
We arrived with 3 adults and 3 kids. Two 4 yr olds and one 18 mth old.
As soon as we arrived the waiter showed us to the corner table next to the speakers.
I said, "the music is really loud, can we sit somewhere else?" He said, "no".
I said, "if we can't sit somewhere else can you turn the music down?" He said, "no".
Then I asked for a high chair. He showed us where they were. We got the high chair ourselves and it was disgusting. Caked on with food.
I said, "can you clean off the high chair?" He grabbed a dry cloth, ran it over the top of the chair and turned to walk away.
I said that it needed to be really cleaned, it was covered with grease and filth.
He didn't clean it.
We decided to leave because at this point the experience had fully been spoiled.
We told the manager at the counter why we were leaving and he just shrugged his shoulders.
I will never return to Taqueria.

I had a blind friend visiting for 9 months completing a school program, and on our walks from Wayne Street and Varick to PathMark, he more than stumbled on the sidewalks. Taking a grocery cart is impossible, and I must walk on the street itself (and I am not visually impaired). I realize trees do grow, but holey-moley, can't something be done about the sidewalks on Varick? Just fantasizing...

Full choir with chamber orchestra will sing Haydn's Missa Brevis, No. 7 in B Major this Sunday at 10:00 AM. Holy Rosary is at 344 Sixth Street. A special shout out to BrightMoment, Cankicker, and TRP3 who are all warmly invited to this Pentecost Mass that celebrates the birth of the Church.

Also called the little organ mass for the way in which the organ accompanies the soloist during the Benedictus. This is a joyful and beautiful work that telescopes the prolix Gloria and Credo while extending the Kyrie, Sanctus and Angus Dei during the liturgical action. Hymns and chants ancient and modern will also be sung. The men's schola will sing the propers from the Liber Usualis, that font of Western Music.

See you there. Bring a friend. And btw, we are always welcoming new singers.

How many damn condo towers are they going to build before the market collapses? Their not going to be able to sell all those condos and if that happens your going to find a lot of sweet deals on rentals at the point in which people on section 8 are going to be able to afford to move in to them, LOL!

Isn't this the same son who failed the psycho test to join, but Healy made a call and he got it?
Just how many firefighters do we have that failed the psycho test and were able to still join? I bet a big fat zero.

The deed he did was good, but had nothing to do with being a firefighter. If you failed, you shouldn't wear the uniform and be called a firefighter - nepotism at its finest

What's with that grumpy old guy waiter? He's incredibly rude and makes you feel like your imposing on him just for being there the entire time your eating dinner. I don't need little miss sunshine waiting on me hand and foot, but this guy is just foul.

Does anyone know when the Cosi will be opening at Exchange Place? I see the "coming soon" sign in the window and noticed construction underway. Just curious.
