Sadly we had to take down the K9dergarten link

Nothing has made Johnny sadder than to have to take down the link to K9dergarten BUT when a business, in this case a place that boards dogs, feels the need to politically endorse candidates (Rebecca Symes), hold fundraisers for, and block signs for other candidates, they risk this kind of backlash. You board dogs. There were 5 candidates for Ward E councilperson and you decided that four of the other candidates customers don't meet your grand political ideals. It's a backhand K9dergarten is what it is.

Now of course Johnny has done his homework. His dentist is upstairs from K9dergarten and he stopped in one afternoon before the first vote after seeing all the Symes Symes Symes window signs and went to those behind the counter. He asked if K9dergarten was all in or fully committed to Symes or if they just had a fundraiser there as she's a client and the signs were still up. Suppose, Johnny asked, what if (and honestly he picked a name out of the sky and) had a Jake Hudnut sign and wanted to put that in the window if that would be OK. Someone went in the back for a couple minutes and came back and said no.

Johnny left quite perplexed. Were they really being this obtuse and dismissive of the thousands of Ward E dog owners who voted for someone else?

Turns out, yes. Johnny went back in after the first vote gave Ward E a runoff between Symes and James Solomon. "Are you guys sure you want to only support just one candidate and can you even see why dog owners of someone who liked Grillo or Solomon or the aforementioned Hudnut wouldn't be a bit bothered?" The best Johnny got from the boss that day was "she's a client."

Did Krispy Kreme endorse anyone? Barcade? The Little Sandwich Shop? Skinner's Loft? No. Know why? They understand not sticking a finger in some of your customers eyes by being so needlessly political (and it's not even that political it's, 'she's a client' which means anyone who takes their dog their can expect a political endorsement) is a smart idea.

Vaya Con Dios K9dergarten, you're not bad people, you just need to understand this act of shooting yourselves in the foot was a bad idea and so unnecessary.

Not Yo Mama's Happy Holiday Craft Fair is TOMORROW, capice?

The Powerhouse Lounge (And the Powerhouse Lounge shuttle van looks so much better with the real address on the side rather than the old misspelling of Marin -- yeah, Johnny saw that) at 300 Marin Blvd. from 11am until 4pm. They are asking a $5 donation at the door for the Red Cross Sandy relief effort. Do what you can.

This is a huge event people, plan on getting there early. Christmas and holiday gifts galore and this sale has got something not a lot of other stores have while you shop. Can you get a cocktail at Target? Can you savor a good beer at Wally-Mart? That's right, this is the Powerhouse Lounge, drinks ahoy!

And don't forget, this Saturday is "just put that anywhere" parking all across our fair city from 1-1:15pm. For anyone unfamiliar with "just put that anywhere" parking it happens every December 1st and means what it says but the Jersey City tradition is that if you do get a ticket from 1-1:15 you just go toss it in the Hudson River for good luck all the year long.

Also, before or after the craft fair make sure to get over to K9dergarten for See Spot Rescued's adoption event!

See Spot Rescued is having an adoption event this upcoming Saturday

And what goes better with the Holiday season that a warm puppy? Or a wonderful older pup who is just aces with kids and families? Our friends at See Spot Rescued are holding an adoption event this upcoming Saturday at K9dergarten at 173 Newark Ave. from 12-4.

See Spot Rescued has a wonderful selection of great dogs looking for a forever home. If you follow this link to their Facebook page you can see some of the great pooches ready for adoption. The dogs come spayed or neutered and are microchipped and up to date on vaccinations. How does Johnny know this? He adopted his Game of Thrones dire wolf from SSR (well OK they'd probably get upset with Johnny saying they have actual dire wolves for adoption so let's just say a small dire wolf lookalike). You will be AMAZED at how cute these pups are. Johnny never misses a chance to tell people when they comment how cute his dog is that he got her from See Spot Rescued. People seem surprised that it's not a dog with three legs or cut up from dogfighting. NO, these pups are cute and loving and wonderful.

They just need you.
