Learn to surf this summer Jersey City!

Jersey City Surf Club begins July 2nd and continues every Saturday into September (water conditions permitting). Lessons are provided by Eastern Lines Surf Shop and held at Belmar Beach (@ 10th Ave.) and includes round-trip transportation from Jersey City, a surf lesson with an instructor, a lifeguard and surfboard rental—all for $89! [Non Jersey City residents are $175]

The group meets at 6:15am at the Grove Street PATH station for 6:30am departure. By 7:30am you are already getting your surfing intro, followed by a two-hour water lesson.

You’ll be back in Jersey City by 11:30am to enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Surf Club is making it extremely easy for you, a Jersey City resident, to learn surfing. Take advantage! Register here.

Don’t forget: Sunscreen, towel, water.

Tonight is…A JC FRIDAY!

It’s the second JC Friday of the season, tonight, June 3rd, Jersey City! In lieu of a post trying to detail everything, I’m simply sharing a photo of the event pamphlet so you can have it at the ready on your mobile phone (just zoom in).

Since it seems daunting to tackle everything, I say pick a neighborhood you are unfamiliar with in Jersey City and attempt to visit as many places as possible there. Jersey City is a large, large city and has so much to offer. Personally, I love exploring new places and the people that live there.

On the other hand, if you are superhuman and manage to go to everything listed, please let me know and I will figure out some sort of prize for you because that is impressive!

Enjoy!

Sun Safety

Now that the weather finally decided to bestow its sunshine on Jersey City, I’d like to share my melanoma story with those of you who do not know me, and to remind you to practice sun safety as the unofficial summer season begins!

Skin Cancer: My Story

More about prevention: Pick up this month’s issue of Cosmo and read Liz Krieger‘s “How Much Do You Really Know About Your Skin?” article.

Stephen King at Jersey City’s Landmark Loew’s Theatre 6/7

WORD Bookstore and the historic Landmark Loew’s Jersey Theatre (54 Journal Square Plaza) are hosting Stephen King for the inaugural event of his END OF WATCH tour Tuesday, June 7th at 7:30PM.

Tickets are $32 each and you must buy a ticket online in advance to attend. Official ticketing guidelines:

  • Due to capacity limits, each person is allowed to purchase a maximum of 2 tickets. If you purchase more than 2 tickets on our website, your order will be adjusted down to 2 when we process it. Please be nice to the WORD employees who are processing these orders and purchase no more than 2 tickets per person!

  • All tickets are non-transferable. No exceptions. At the date of the event you will be required to show a valid ID to enter. If you purchased more than one ticket, your plus one must arrive and enter with you.

  • Purchasing a ticket guarantees entry to the event as well as a hardcover edition of END OF WATCH. As a special bonus, we’ve been told that a limited number of attendees will randomly receive signed copies, so we wish you luck!

  • Seating will be assigned. The first people who purchase tickets will be assigned front row seating and we will continue to fill the rows in the order that the tickets were purchased. While we will try our absolute best to accommodate groups of 2 next to each other, there is a possibility that you and your plus one will be seated in different rows (though likely close together, directly in front/behind each other).

There are no refunds. To learn more about End of Watch, click here.
