: Superbowl? Meh.
Since the Giants are not in the Super Bowl it’s a matter of relative indifference to me who wins. I guess if the Jets had gotten in I would have rooted for the home team. Flipping my mental coin, I guess I’ll root for New Orleans since they’ve never won before.
For those of you who couldn’t care less about football…

Feb 9, Tuesday, 9:00ish-12ish PM – Arthur Neilson, at The Blend Bar 17 Chestnut Street, Ridgewood NJ (201) 447-4343
Arthur Neilson is one amazing musician. As the regular guitarist for Shamekia Copeland, Arthur has been galavanting around the world – most recently in Turkey. But after a year’s hiatus, Arthur is back in action with his Kick Ass Band. I do this for very few people, but I proudly kick ass for Arthur.
