No parking in front of Journal Square today

Police have decided in the wake of the Boston situation that cars will be ticketed for stopping or standing outside Journal Square. Yes, it's more than likely an overreaction, it's what Americans seem to be best at anymore but you still can't park or stand in front of Journal Square today and most likely until further notice.

We just hope the cabs will still come by and pick up commuters.

Late night open thread

It was 31 years ago tonight Johnny attended his first concert. He's been to hundreds at this point but you never forget your first. It was a band called New England, then Eddie Money and headlined by Boston. It was at the Pontiac Silverdome where Johnny and his best friends 'F' and 'R' and his girlfriend 'G' went to hang with 80,000 of their closest friends. Underage drinking? Check, rum and coke. Tickets were $8.50. Boston played like 6 songs from their first album and then they just left. Seriously, 6 songs, goodnight. And the crowd said "Booooooooooooooooooooo."

So, what was the first concert YOU went to see?

Boston with 'Foreplay/Longtime'


Time for Jersey City, After Dark
