MONDAY | 2.19.07
Holiday? Everywhere: As the New Yorker kindly informed us this week,
Presidents’ (or President’s, or Presidents) Day doesn’t exist in any
sort of official way. The day – Washington’s Birthday (but not really
his day of birth) – is a federal holiday, though. So enjoy your day off
if you’ve got it.
Civil Unionizing. Everywhere (except maybe Bogota): Today also marks
the day that New Jersey’s civil unions law for same-sex couples goes
into effect. So, if you feel the urge, head on down to your city hall
and do yourself some civil filin’ – or join one of the many local
celebrations in the area, like the Hudson Diversity Council’s at JC
City Hall/LITM.
Art. Hoboken: The art of Josh Taylor, all bizarre illustrations and
surrealist characters, comes to Maxwell’s in the form of the new show,

THURSDAY | 2.22.07
Concert. Hoboken: Until City Belt contributor Tris McCall went out on a
rock-crit limb last year and embraced The Early November’s three-disc
album, I’ll admit I didn’t know all that much about these south
Jerseyans. And I still don’t really, except that they’re young, and
Vans Warped Tour-worthy. Frontman Ace Enders is doing his solo thing
tonight at Maxwell’s, with Roark and Pete Nischt.
