Carolyn Light
These days the music industry is so saturated with female artists that sing club anthems, are auto-tuned, wear body suits, and sing about things normal people can’t really relate to… I love Rihanna, but who is this girl that owes you money?! and why are you singing about her? Anyway, I digress. I love pop […]

After it was shared on social media and the storm had […]
Spring Weekend Roundup Pt 2
A few days ago as I looked at the ChicpeaJC event calendar, I almost had an aneurism. Over 35 events listed!! I even said, on social media “Not covering events this weekend” but alas I couldn’t help myself. So many fun things happening and the nice weather just started. Has anyone invited a cloning machine […]

Top 10 Things to do on NYE in Jersey City
Disclaimer: I dislike NYE. The idea of spending hundreds of dollars to go somewhere that will be over crowded, not have any room to dance, and deal with wasted people does not sound like a good time. The past 4 years I’ve actually “missed” the New Year. I pass out by 11pm. I take joy […]
Jersey City: Halloween 2014
Past Halloween’s consisted of finding a last-minute costume, going somewhere for drinks and then being in bed by 11pm.

This time we wanted to go bigger and better, so we teamed up […]
