Lots of stuff going on around the shore this weekend – Cinco de Mayo continues into Seis de Mayo, bands we like are around, and there’s good deals to be had. Let’s review… Read the rest of this entry »

The crew at Jersey Shore MetroMix does an excellent job at documenting the shenanigans at bars and clubs up and down the coast. If you missed out on the festivities on the Barrier Island this past weekend like I did, here’s a link to a photo gallery of the goings-on at Bamboo and Surf Club’s opening night.
The Surf Club is open!
A few things to make note of on the Interwebs: Surf Club is rocking a somewhat new Twitter handle – @jhsurfclub and their website, in case you can never remember like me, is thesurfclubnj.com.
Happy Cinco de Mayo eve!

ole!
In 1862, the underdog Mexican army whooped the French army’s butt in the Battle of Puebla. In 2010, American corporations still use the holiday – now virtually meaningless in Mexico – as an excuse to promote overconsumption of beer and nachos. Such utter blatant manipulation of a military victory for commercial gain can be depressing, but it’s nothing a Corona can’t fix, right? Read the rest of this entry »

Are you ready for Surf Weekend?
No, the Governor has not issued a proclamation. At Live for Jersey Shore, we’re dubbing it Surf Weekend, because today and tomorrow will feature two fun surf related events.
I’ve mapped it out for you.

It’s September. This churns my stomach. If I were still in high school, I’d be despondent to be back in my Catholic school uniform; in college, I’d be thrilled to be back on campus. But alas, commencement called for me quite a bit ago so nothing changes. Work still comes every Monday, but soon enough there will be no beach time dominating my weekends. Ugh.
But fret not. Aside from the fact that we still have Labor Day Weekend (a beautiful – but somber – thing unto itself), early fall at the Jersey Shore brings gorgeous weather, near-deserted watering holes and very fun events. If you’re like me (here for the long haul) or if the unofficial start of autumn brings you to points north or west, September at the Shore is the perfect way to wind down your summer soul and settle in for the fall. Before you get the Labor Day blues, check out these second-weekend-of-September events and you’ll see that it can be just as much of a party as the first.
