Loews JC
Hi, friends!
I haven't properly posted in a while, sorry about that. But thanks to soon-to-be-neighbor Deborah, we got to experience something really unique and wonderful this weekend. For her birthday, we all went to the Jersey City Loews up at Journal Square to see Vertigo.
But holy cow, not just any Loews. This is a 1920's palace theatre marvel. I've never been anywhere like it, not a lot in the city can compare... you really weren't sure what year it was. It's a work in progress, volunteers have been working to restore it since the mid 90's, and it is just astounding. There's still obviously a lot of work to be done, but these pictures should give you an idea of how jaw-droppingly beautiful this place is:
At the end of October, they are showing Nosferatu with live music! Moray, Matt and I saw this done in Prospect Park last summer, and it was a great experience, I'm deffinitely planning on going again. Also, they are working on installing the twin to their original organ, it looks amazing. Check out the website if anyone's insterested,
That is all!

Thanks for your visit. ;-)
Anybody at OHIJ able to play - working on playing - a Robert-Morton?
No!!! But wouldn't that be cool??? I have pipe dreams (no pun intended) of the theater people letting me lead all of Jersey City Heights in a Weird Al polka sing-along. Or some other sing along would be fine I guess.
