Restaurant or bar owner perhaps?

Either that, or someone up to no good.

Re: gangbangers & reese's?

Just can't stay away

I was leaving Target last week to hear a woman say "Did you just ask me out?!"

I looked up to see a friend talking to one of the guys. Apparently, he asked if he could take her out sometime.

Her responce (albeit kinda bitchy) was "Seriously? You are selling candy outside a Target and you want to take ME out?"

At this point i swooped in and said "Baby, I'll take you out right now." and we walked away arm in arm.

The reaction from his friend was priceless.

I'm curious- whats makes a beard ironic?

If by wearing it, you're actually making fun of the look. That's why I always wear an ironic smile.

So, to be clear- an "ironic beard" is a beard that's worn by someone who is actually making fun of beards?

That just sounds stupid.

Ironic/Irony- words that have been thrown around quite a bit on this thread.

To quote the great Inigo Montoya- "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

yeah...I totally agree. Why on earth they have chosen Jersey City to run around ranting bits of hatred, we'll probably never know. But with all this cities problems, a bunch of freaks on the streets screaming because they don't approve of the Star Bar, isn't on my radar either.

Take a look at their website. Aside from gays and jews, they have beef with New Jersey itself.

Why is it that the craziest of all people do the things they do in the name of God?

Congrats.

I can only hope that you use the influence that this award bestows upon you to stop the influx of white people into our fair city.

We now look to you, Melissa. Make the best of the honor that was bestowed upon you.

You asked for it, you got it. Use it.

wow, some of the sh*t people write on here is ridiculous. what happened was some new neighbors were hanging out outside, smoking pot, with kids playing all around the street, so another neighbor called the cops on them.

If I was outside smoking some pot, and I saw a bunch of kids playing in the street, I would've called the cops too. That neighbor really did the neighborhood a service.

Parents really need to be more responsible. Kids should be playing in parks, not in the streets.

My guess is there is an overall uptick of Police activity.

There is this Denver/NYC thing going on right now and everyone is on edge.

But the reality is the investigation was botched. Messed up by the folks in charge!

Right now all the Feds got these suspects on is like lying. JOKE! And from the articles I have read, its very flimsy at best.

And frankly, I've joked to friends that my calls are recorded because guess what... BIG BROTHER. Anything Cellular is recorded and if its through the airways... its PUBLIC. Even CELL PHONES! Watch what you say!

This is all hype and non-sense. A continuation of failed Bush Policies of "scare everyone into submission". Funny, its right around UN week. Significance? I BET!

Unfortunately, Obama has taken the same approach as Bush, and we will keep being terrorized by our own Government agencies and police forces.

Wake up people. It used to be Government by the People for the People. Now its something else.

Many drivers in this town think stop signs are mere suggestions.

My favorite move is the one where someone is stopped behind a car who is actually at a stop sign, then follows that car through the intersection, despite having never stopped at the stop line themselves.

I guess it can be somewhat surprising when rain hits dirt, and it becomes MUD.

Does anyone recall the fact they did this same thing last year?

Does anyone remember how the park was back to normal within weeks?

Does anyone remember that it DIDN'T rain last year?

Everyone is so quick to point fingers, yet no one is pointing them in the right direction.

I would like to take this opportunity to not blame Healy, not blame the cops, not blame people who don't clean up poop, not blame the late night garbage pick ups and say SCREW YOU MOTHER NATURE!!!!!

How could you?

While the only reason I went, I must admit MBV may have been a weird choice for this event.

I thought they were amazing, people I know who like them thought they were amazing. We were probably a minority.

I would venture to guess at least 50% of the people watching them had never heard of them prior to this.

He plays in a band called The Honey Brothers who played at APW.

While not my cup of tea, they were a fun band of the indie-jam-folky(?) ilk.

I know lots of humans. I don't think one of them has the nature to do such a thing. Now, were the woman trying to mug THEM, then yes- defending yourself by any means necessary IS human nature.

Two people slamming a woman's head into the ground, tearing her clothes off, then leaving her for dead is NOT human nature.

I defy anyone to argue differently.

It was crazy busy there on opening night. It took us about 20 minutes to get our first round of beers. This place is huge!!! The line for food was even longer than for beer. It was very loud inside and there wasn't even any music playing.

My suspicions about the total number of beers on tap were true, there are only maybe 50 or so beers being poured on the 144 lines at this point but I'm sure they can add plenty more as they go forward.

Overall very impressive.

you're psyched that it took you 20 mins to get a beer and even longer to get food?

doesn't exactly sound like a good endorsement.

Re: The Jersey city Music Scene does not support the all ages community

#78

Just can't stay away

Let me try and sum this up-

Thisloveiswar- people on this site actually got pissed today because of the way some people gratiously dealt with a stray cat that was hit by a car. Don't expect much. But let me try and help.

While not a lifer, I did go to high school in Jersey City. Back then, when we were all underage, there were very few options for shows. They mainly consisted of basement shows (usually in the heights where basements and some cool parents existed), or venturing into the burbs for other basement shows or VFW Hall shows.

You aren't going to get any love from bars in town. Underage means one thing- no liquor sales.

If you are into hardcore, and want all ages shows, you may have to venture into NYC.

Look into ABC NO RIO. All ages hardcore matinees every Saturday. They have been doing it since the late 80's early 90's.

Have you tried Maxwells? You may be able to pull off an afternoon show there if you can show that the bands will draw.

I realize I am pointing out places out of Jersey City, and your concern is the lack of options you have in Jersey City. but, it is what it is.

I hope some of this helps.

Keep your chin up.

The other 47% was spread among the other candidates.

53% for an incumbent JC mayor with a huge warchest running against a perennial runner-up and several unknowns is weak stuff. That 47% voted for these other candidates means about half the voters voted for Anyone But Healy.

But I understand if you don't understand this.

Sounds like sour grapes to me.

I know it does. That's what I mean when I say that you do not understand it.

Yeah. I'm dumb. What I do understand is that 47% of the people voting for "anyone but Healy" didn't quite work out so well.

He lives on Jersey just near 7th close to my house. For months he has been going out on his bike several times a night at varying hours, almost always after 11 PM. The bike has no muffler and is very loud. He parks it in the front yard and when he takes it out he rides down the block on the sidewalk right under the neighbor's windows revving his engine until he reaches 6th street from where he takes off in a trail of noise. This usually starts our and everyone elses' dogs going and would be comical if not so annoying.

Almost everyone nearby has spoken to him at one point or another, and he just ignores it. He used to park the bike on the sidewalk but several months ago someone slashed his tires. Otherwise, he pretty much keeps to himself and doesn't bother anyone. I'm a heavy sleeper and tolerate the noise, but a lot of neighbors are really upset.

This guy's steps face Jersey & he puts the bike in the yard now, right? Not a Harley. Some sort of import.

No, not a Harley. Its an import with a crumby paint job.

While not an expert, I think the guy sets his idle low, thus creating the noise.

He basically screams- "Look at me, I'm a douche!"

Re: JERSEY CITY BAND LIST

Just can't stay away

Well, when we did have a rock club, it didn't hold that many people and it didn't have a good sound system. Despite that, bands like Ted Leo, Against Me! and Dead Meadow (to name just a few) all played there.

It's what this town sorely needs. Lamppost does a good job with what they have(which isn't much) and Automata Chino (despite having a horrible name) is ok too.

I'm guesing you are new to the area?
