Boobs.. do they hold it at Ashbury Park? And have you ever been to Newark's pride weekend? Now that one sounds scary..

Yes, it's in Ass-bury. The parade is a bit of a travesty but the concerts and vendor booths are okay.

We used to live off Halstead and Pride weekend was crazy. C15 in particular would LOVE the parade!

Who is headlining?

[DAME]

Posted: 6/2/11 at 12:33pm

brd.. I bet the Chicago pride is at a whole different level. Probably more equal to NYC and LA pride than the New Jersey or Valley pride.

Yes Dame it is held in Asbury Park. I would stay away from the Newark one too LOL

Boobs,
We also have two different Valley prides. I bet they are of equal quality to your new Jersey and Newark ones. One is held inside the CBS/ MTM studios. It is a very small event but kind of fun. It is usually only on a Sunday. The other one is in the West valley and it is very Latino and rough around the edges. And Usually in the midle of August when the heat is sweltering.

SOMMS:
Lisa Lisa and KW are regulars in the gay circuit.

I used to go to Jersey Pride every year, but last year was the last. I think I'll start going back to the NY Pride...you know, the last Sunday in June...sometimes it even falls on my birthday. The very 1st Pride Parade was on my birthday.

SOMMSY, we have many names, but that is not one of them....well that I am aware of anyway.

Moony, you can sign the pillow when it arrives. I hope you've been practicing.

Hola, Dame!

By the way Boobsie, the pillow and tote bags sold out. So, technically, they are now limited editions and worth twice as much.

[Broadwayboobs]

Posted: 6/3/11 at 9:13am

YAY! I can't wait for the pillow to arrive. I have the perfect spot for it! I hear the posters sold out too, but I think that is just at the KC. You can't order it from them, but Playbill.com did have them

... and, the answer to the question is ...

When Pio Bozzi and John Ganzi opened The Palm Restaurant in 1926, they had no money to decorate. Luckily, their location on Manhattan’s Second Avenue was in close proximity to the headquarters of King Features Syndicate and attracted a large clientele of cartoonists. In exchange for their meals, artists would often draw their own creations on the walls of The Palm.

Since then, the flagship Palm has become a living museum of cartoons and caricatures featuring such famous faces as Popeye, Batman, Beetle Bailey, Hagar the Horrible, and characters from "The Family Circus." To preserve these legendary hand-drawn sketches – many of which were drawn in charcoal and pastels – the Palm’s walls were professionally restored in 1995.

Over the years, the tradition of decorating our locations with caricatures has continued as we’ve expanded across the country and internationally. Before a new restaurant opens, 200 to 300 local notables' likenesses are placed on the walls, and new caricatures of regulars and celebrities are added regularly. Not surprisingly, the most in-demand wall space is at the original Second Avenue location, where only five caricatures are added each year due to space constraints.

I love the history of them. Now when are they going to include BWWs most notable psoters?
