On Sunday, May 20th at 4pm – Our Lady of Grace Church presents a French Romantic Sacred Music presentation.
It features Gabriel Faure’s Requiem – and will be sung by the OLG Schola Cantorum. See video below to get an idea of what it will sound like! Might be something the whole family would enjoy – rather than updating Facebook or playing Angry Birds on your iPad.
Call (201)659-0369 for tickets, and enjoy!
On Sunday, May 20th at 5pm – Author Gene Wisniewski is giving a free talk about art over at Symposia Bookstore (510 Washington St. – about 20 feet from one of the million potholes in Hoboken).
“From the seminar “The Six-Hour Art Major,” this fun, fact-filled talk tells you how to approach a piece of art, and helps you understand what you’re looking at. Features a slide presentation of over 80 artworks as illustrations.”
The event is free – and you can read more about The Six-Hour Art Major here.

There may be a bevy of hair salons in Hoboken – but the art of hair coloring takes a special talent.
Genesis Hair Salon is thrilled to welcome Francesco – a Master Colorist from New York City.
Francesco, a platform artist at major hair shows specializes in all aspects of color, including highlights, low lighting, glazing, color correction, as well as single process, semi and demi permanent color. He’s a perfectionist – a trait every girl wants when getting a big hair job done! Stop in to meet Francisco at Genesis Hair Salon (1106 Washington Street) or call 201-708-0089 for a complimentary consultation.
Good luck in Hoboken, Francesco!
Here’s a preview for one of the new movies showing at Hoboken’s Clearview Cinemas this weekend: The Dictator, starring Sacha Baron Cohen. This trailer pretty much sums up the entire plot, and how it unfolds.

You may think that Hoboken has a dog-poop problem – but here’s one idea floating around the internet that would never, ever work here.
The concept (being “rolled out” in several parks in Mexico City), is that anyone who picks up their dog poop and places it in this ridiculous contraption – it would “reward” the nearby park with free Wi-Fi minutes. This technology, at the very least is five or ten years too late. Most phones now have super-fast speed connections that can be tethered, along with very capable tablet like devices (i.e., Samsung Galaxy Note) and the need for a “WiFi” isn’t even that much in demand.
The only way getting more people to clean up their poop (beyond a highly enforced police-state), is to literally pay them, don’t you think?
Hoboken NJEarlier today, Councilman Tim Occhipinti alerted constituents about a frightening agenda item for tonight’s City Council meeting.
It’s a proposed $43,000 annual contract with Liberty Humane Society to manage stray and lost pets. However, part of the contract specifies rather harsh penalties for any animals that are caught:
“When specifically notified by the Municipality, LHS shall attempt to impound any stray or licensed dog or cat running at large on the streets of the Municipality for the purpose of issuing summonses to the owners thereof where possible and appropriate. When such impoundment occurs, the dog or cat shall be put up for adoption or humanely disposed of, after the seven (7) day waiting period.”
Wow, that’s crazy! Who would support that?
