Saturday, September 29, 2007. Goodbye, Wonder Bar. The Wonder Bar, Asbury Park. Originally uploaded by TheJerseyTomato. Is closing its doors this weekend for the last time. After over 50 years of providing the area with good company, drinks, and music, it will be demolished by those loving Asbury Partners who have decided that a viable business which is loved by the community and supports the community is not as important as oceanfront condos. A big Princess Bride booooo to Asbury Partners. Hmmmm someone...

Tuesday, April 17, 2007. Originally uploaded by TheJerseyTomato. The rock musical Hedwig and the Angry Inch". Is currently playing at the Baronet Theater in Asbury Park (every Saturday in April). It's the first time that the off-Broadway hit is being performed in NJ. I have to admit, I'm a bit of a HedHead. Ever since I saw the original cast on MTV with Kurt Loder back in 1999 and had to buy the cast album the next day. So when I happened upon this performance, Lucky and I had to go. Rockaway Bedding, yah.

Monday, January 29, 2007. This week marks the 10th anniversary of my father's death. I can't believe it's been that long; I can't believe it's only been that long. Time is weird that way. We are gathering as a family on Friday to watch Groundhog Day. It was my dad's favorite film; after having the stroke, it was a film that was easy for him to grasp plus it's funny. We actually contemplated going to PA to celebrate the actual Punxsutawney Phil. Thursday, January 18, 2007. I receive the NJ My Way. Atlanti...

Saturday, December 30, 2006. Playing at the Wonderbar. Playing at the Wonderbar. Originally uploaded by TheJerseyTomato. Jersey's own Uncle Floyd. As mentioned quickly last post, Lucky and I went to see a show at Lance and Debbie's Wonder Bar. In Asbury Park. Opening up the holiday-themed event was a blues band called Outside the Box. The headliner was Uncle Floyd. And I was in U68 Heaven! Uncle Floyd, you're not just David Bowie's hero, you're mine too! The closer was Everlounge. A band we had seen befo...

Friday, February 24, 2006. Saw Billy, Now What? Anyways, this concert completes our initial list of "People to see before they die" . So what next? Are we missing someone? Friday, February 17, 2006. As many of you might already know, my little brother wrote an article for the Spring 2005 Rutgers Law Review, entitled "The New Star Chamber: The New Jersey Family Court and the Prevention of Domestic Violence Act". It's also been getting some nice buzz around the nation's capital. Since they don't want to be...

Wednesday, January 25, 2006. Yesterday, someone died at the Stony Brook Car Wash. On Rt 22, North Plainfield. He was run over by a co-worker who was moving a van. This is the second time in three months that there's been a car wash accident in Central Jersey (at least, that I'm aware of). On October 23, 2005 a Squeaky Clean Car Wash. Was yesterday's accident also involving an unlicensed driver? Monday, January 23, 2006. Treasure Island. a most unusual store that's no more. Friday, January 20, 2006. Lucky...

Saturday, October 27, 2007. Happy All Hallows Eve! Originally uploaded by TheJerseyTomato. Not big on the whole "not celebrating Halloween because it's a day of the devil." Yes, it started out as a pagan holiday (first Celtic then Roman) before it was adapted by the Christians. but pagans don't believe in the devil so how can it be his holiday? PS: On Nov. 2, don't forget to go to your local Ecuadorian bakery to celebrate Ecuadorian Day of the Ancestors. Get some yummy guaguas de pan.

Saturday, March 31, 2007. Unfortunately, Asbury's Wonder Bar will be meeting the same fate as The Palace. Wall meet ball. DH2 is considering going to Pat DiNizio's house for Memorial Day so we might join them. Last year's party was a lot of fun. Finally got my Smithereens concert t-shirt signed a decade late. Here's info. FrenchToastGirl (another Jersey Girl).

Friday, August 04, 2006. WTC Movie. Not Ready Yet. Oliver Stone's movie "World Trade Center". Will be opening next week. I won't be in the ticket line. Do I have a personal connection with the 9/11 attack? Two years later, seeing a 9/11 widow with a 2 and a half year old baby girl getting on with her life and dating my friend. I know it's important to capture history as soon as possible. And many people in the Midwest who I spoke with days after the attack, really didn't understand the scope of the d...

Tuesday, July 31, 2007. Originally uploaded by TheJerseyTomato. We spent the first day of her 7th decade shopping for the store. On the way back, we stopped at the Charcoal Drive-In. My brother used to stop there on the way home from college (it's a Bieber Bus Terminal) but I hadn't been there in years. Construction made getting to it a bit difficult, but it was worth it. The waitress was a sweetie and the egg salad sandwich hit the spot. Saturday, July 07, 2007. And now. the Oh-nee-der! Jocky Hollow, NJ.
