I parked by the Berkeley on Thursday to go to a show at McLoone's and paid for an hour, then went into the show and found out that the performer I came to see didn't start until after that time, so I had to rush back down before the hour was up to put more money in the meter. Needless to say, and I know they have been there for several years now, but paying for parking in Asbury Park sucks. I would try to find a free space, but as a woman alone, didn't feel like it was safe to walk a few blocks in the dark. How much is a parking ticket in AP these days? I had to set an alarm on my phone to make sure I didn't miss the time. Very frustrating. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Yahoo! Groups Links Yahoo!

Re: [AsburyPark] Re: scher
The state of Convention Hall is a big problem. It does not even have proper dressing rooms. Also the sound is not up to today's standardsUnfortunately few bands are nostalgic about Asbury and want to play thereThey want to play where they can make the most money and be comfortable in a state-of-the-art facility. That is not available at Convention Hall. Perhaps it can be retro-fitted but the problem is, you are likely talking millions of dollars to bring it up to standardAlso parking in the area is somewhat difficult, and many people do not want to walk long distances from their cars in Asbury. I have been going to concerts in Asbury for 30 years and continue to do so, but I have my doubts about Convention Hall ever again being a viable rock facility. That doesn't mean they can't do the occasional show and also have other things there, like trade shows and the like. I think the building can still be made viable, but as a rock hall, maybe not... The Paramount, on the other hand, has great sound, and, though it needs work, is in better shape than the Hall. I agree with Gary that it would be nice for the powers that be to embrace events like Wave Gathering and Taste of Chaos that draw people to the city. I remember in 2002, I believe, after the Elvis Costello concert, which sold out Convention Hall, my friend and I emerged to find out that the police had ticketed a bunch of cars (including ours) for parking in a restricted zone (supposedly the curb was painted yellow on Ocean Avenue). Only problem was, there was no curb left and the paint had faded to such an extent that you couldn't even tell if it was yellow in certain places. He fought the ticket and it was dismissed, but my point is, why was it necessary to issue at least 50 tickets that night, which left a bad taste in everyone's mouth after what should have been a pretty positive experience? Reminded me of the old WNEW shows on the beach when the cops would go up and down and ticket hundreds of cars for parking meter violations. I know, I know, they were within their rights to ticket people, but I just thought it was unnecessary overkill.

I believe the past practice of discounting beach fees for residents was challenged by the state Office of the Public Advocate, sometime in the late 1980s.

Re: [AsburyPark] convetion hall
Convention Hall is a difficult building. The lighting, sound and the dressing rooms are all sub-standard in today's marketplace. It would take a very substantial investment of money to make the Hall an attractive concert venue for artists, I believe. Artists don't care about playing Asbury Park, with very few exceptions. They care about playing someplace where they are going to have the amenities that they have come to expect. Until that investment is made in the Hall, I don't see them drawing dozens of shows. The market is too competitive in this area. I don't really think parking is a big issue. For the sold-out shows that have been at the Hall, from Springsteen to Jimmy Eat World to Bon Jovi, people have been willing to walk a distance to get there. I never really heard anyone at a major show complain about the parking. I'm not saying that it doesn't affect the residential neighborhoods; I am merely speaking from a concer-goer's point of view.

He changed the name, briefly, to Vinyl, but it was the Pony for some time and I do believe it made money under Nasar, at least for a time. They were booking different acts than were booked when Butch and Jack owned it; saw Soul Asylum, the Ramones, Courtney Love, etc. there, and those were all big shows. It was during that period that they started doing the outdoor shows after Mrs. Jay's had closed and they took over that area. I think it was called the "Stone Pony Big Top," at one point.

[AsburyPark] Asbury tsunami benefit
'Asbury Cares' concert for tsunami relief Published in the Asbury Park Press 1/09/05 By CHRIS JORDAN GANNETT NEW JERSEY Asbury Park is in South Asia's corner.

The event will be emceed by Nicky Addeo, also known as the "Bangs Avenue Kid." "These people from Asbury Park embody the various styles of Asbury music," Addeo said. "Leon Trent is R&B, Vini Lopez and Sonny Kenn are rock and we're attempting to find a gospel group. The show embodies all of the various music styles of Asbury Park, not just one specific style." Beneficiaries of the concert will be AmeriCares and/or Relief International. The allotment had not been determined as of press time. "I just got off the phone with (family friend and Asbury Park native Danny DeVito) and he suggested Relief international," Addeo said. "He's looking to get the most bang for the buck."

Re: [AsburyPark] Harrys new owner
Folks, I was under the impression that Sitar still owns the Harry's building and John Dorrian still controls the liquor license and lease on the space and is just sub-leasing to the new owners. I think it's a bit premature to judge what is going to happen at Harry's and think they should be given a chance. However, I will say that if the continue to try to book bands in the Springsteen tradition, they will fail.The Stone Pony has not been able to thrive while booking only Bruce-related bands and has had to expand its bookings in an attempt to reach a younger audience. The audience that goes out to see/hear John Eddie, Boccigalupe, Steel Mill Retro, etc. etc. does not go out three to four times a week (with some rare exceptions, and I think I know all the of them! :) ). They should be trying to get a hip younger crowd like the people who went there when it first opened This is not meant as a criticism of any of the above bands or band members, many of whom are good friends of mine. I love their music but Harry's, I think, should be a different type of place. Just my rambling $.02. Jean Yahoo! Groups Sponsor Get unlimited calls to U.S./Canada Yahoo!

Tickets are $50. For a complete line-up of the artists performing, go to www.lightofday.org. Hope some of you will stop by for some great music for a great cause. I will be selling raffle tickets by the front door and there are some terrific prizes, including basketball tickets, autographed items and photos, so please, if you come, stop by and purchase a raffle ticket or two.
