Two New Open Mics in Hoboken. There’s a long history of great music in Hoboken. Despite a recent dormant period, the scene is starting to bubble over once again. I called it. Back in October 2014. I said, “You watch. As soon as Maxwell’s. Is back up and running, the uptown Hoboken music scene will really take off. Yes it’s true that Smokin’ Barrel. 1313 Willow Ave), Finnegan’s. 734 Willow Ave) and The Ale House. 936 Park Ave) is planning to upgrade their system, too. Who set up their new system). Hoboken...

Why Record Store Day Matters | Stephen Bailey: Cultural Exchange Advocate
http://www.stephenbailey.com/sound/why-record-store-day-matters
Why Record Store Day Matters. It’s more than just a day for hipsters to show their hipness by buying rare vinyl records. It’s a celebration of independent business. Today is Record Store Day. So, what does that mean? I view days such as Record Store Day and Small Business Saturday. Maybe we can create a special day for every type of small business. That would be amazing. In the meantime today, go find an independent record store, thumb thru the stacks, find a record you’ve always wanted (ev...The bottom ...

Happy Zombie Jesus Day! | Stephen Bailey: Cultural Exchange Advocate
http://www.stephenbailey.com/thought/happy-zombie-jesus-day
Happy Zombie Jesus Day! As he rises from the dead, we celebrate cautiously. We must satisfy his hunger for chocolate bunnies, flavored jellybeans and peeps. Everyone pay attention as this could save your life! What do we call a man who dies only to rise again a few days later? Most people would call that man a zombie, but others — mostly hordes of hapless religious types — call that man Jesus. Either way you look at it, you need to take action. All we can do is pray as we carve the sacred glazed ham.

http://www.stephenbailey.com/thought/the-right-to-refuse-service
The Right To Refuse Service. 8216;Right to Refuse Service’ is being used in defense of the Indiana legislature’s controversial ‘Religious Freedom Restoration Act’. It’s been argued by some that the age-old ‘Right to Refuse Service’ is a defense for the Indiana legislature’s attempt at passing their controversial ‘Religious Freedom Restoration Act’. Well, those people are wrong. And can we please stop with the ‘dick cake’ argument already? The issue of dress codes has come up in this debate, too. Agai...

Hoboken St. Paddy’s Day: A Necessary Evil? | Stephen Bailey: Cultural Exchange Advocate
http://www.stephenbailey.com/life/hoboken-st-paddys-day-a-necessary-evil
Hoboken St. Paddy’s Day: A Necessary Evil? Parking tickets and zoning violations aside, Hoboken’s main source of revenue is tourism which includes the infamous first Saturday in March. I know you don’t want to hear it. No one in Hoboken wants to admit it. Hell, I even hate to say it (or write it). But the fact of the matter is, we need days like Hoboken St. Paddy’s Day. Easing restrictions on the bars would be a good step towards regaining some control of the day. Continuing with the Zero Tolerance p...
