June 1st, 2012 by Mr. C

[…]

The Planet Chocko Zine skeletons — October & November 1997
May 25th, 2012 by Mr. C
About once a week or maybe even more – depending on if we have to run the TPS reports at the Office Space or shrink wrap the pallets in the warehouse, we’re gonna drop a few Kaity Tong updates from our dusty & crusty planet chocko vaults. This week Chocko gave us the 411 on […]

REEWIND: The 43rd Chamber
May 25th, 2012 by Mr. C
Just came about some old flyers from one of our favorite kung fu video stores (VHS format) from the late 1980’s and 1990’s on 43rd street not too far from the Port Authority Bus Terminal in NYC – The one and only – THE 43rd CHAMBER. They had an awesome stock of classic kung fu […]

Walkway over the Hudson
May 21st, 2012 by Mr. C
The Walkway over the Hudson is a 1.28 mile pedestrian bridge that crosses over the Hudson River from Poughkeepsie to Highland, NY. This bridge was converted from an abandoned railroad crossing over to this pedestrian bikeway-walkway-Historic Park which opened in October of 2009. The smooth walk over the Hudson is not overly exciting nor challenging, […]

Presby Memorial Iris Gardens in Montclair
May 13th, 2012 by Mr. C
The Presby Memorial Iris Gardens in Upper Montclair, NJ is a beautiful oasis open to the public usually from May to June when the Irises are in bloom. I’m definitely not a plant expert nor do I have any aspirations for acquiring a green thumb, however being familiar with the area – every year I […]

Freedy Johnston performed at the Hoboken Art and Music Festival
May 9th, 2012 by Mr. C
Freedy Johnston – born & raised in Kansas but rooted in Hoboken, NJ – performed at the Hoboken Art and Music Festival last Sunday! His ordinary look with subtle vocals always finds a way to paint the town with emotions through the use of his lyrics! Freedy was the (I stand corrected by Chocko – […]

Evocateur: The Morton Downey Jr. Movie (2012) – Montclair Film Festival
May 8th, 2012 by Mr. C
Morton Downey Jr. – the punk rock of talk show hosts from the late 1980’s seemed to be a man with many faces motivated by the game of fame. This entertaining documentary was a great character study of him during his rise, fall, & crash in his personal & professional life. Old footage from his […]

1st annual Montclair Film Festival: May 1st – 6th!
April 27th, 2012 by Mr. C
Montclair, NJ – a town that is about 12 miles away from NYC has a very special place in my heart. I spent about 4, cough-cough OK, maybe 5 years of school there which at that time was known as Montclair State College located in nearby Upper Montclair. Downtown Montclair was always a cool – […]
