I've been to a lot of concerts, probably more than most people my age, and undeniably this concert was one of the best I’ve ever been to. The sound was amazing, the lasers were mesmerizing and he sunset was breathtaking.
Everybody in the crowd was there to soak in the music of this band and the setting sun only added to the special feeling of the show, which took place in the cool, beachy town of Asbury Park NJ. The concert, at the iconic Stone Pony, was part of the North to Shore Festival sponsored by Prudential. The Stone Pony is a tremendous venue for any band. You can feel the history in it.

Well, the one night I was on beautiful Long Beach Island NJ this summer so far that I didn’t take my after dinner walk to check out the line at Dairy King, which is always an indication of what the crowds are like on the island, I missed George Costanza! Rumor was that he went to Stefanos for dinner, a very popular, revered Italian restaurant on Long Island and then had Dairy King for dessert. Yes, Dairy King. Dairy King is the dominant ice cream shop for a several block radius near 18th Street, after that, since there is just about an ice cream shop every 10 blocks or less, another dominates. But DK gets ice cream afficionados from all over. But I digress...
One Night. One Reason.

This year's centerpiece film is Slanted, by Director Amy Wang. The closing film is American Sweatshop by Director Uta Briesewitz. Special to the festival this year is the film Just Looking, directed b Jason Alexander (aka George Costanza). He will do a talkback after his film and also headline "A Conversation with Jason Alexander, The Artist Behind George Constanza". Both will happen at the Surflight Theater, making it an intimate experience.
Starring Karl Barbee, Dan Frederick, Jamie Dougherty, Ava Wallace, Tierney Violet Joyce and Olivianna Vanesko, the film follows four teens who seek refuge in a mansion, where the host offers safety and treasures in exchange for hearing haunting tales from his past.
Cabrales shared her thoughts about the making of the film:
“As a Mexican-American artist, my mission is to create art that not only resonates but invites the audience to immerse themselves in its essence. With the help of my talented community, we crafted a film that’s rich with meaning from beginning to end."

Bergen County CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) urgently calls on the community to rally behind its mission at the upcoming Casino Night Fundraiser on May 7, 2025. Due to a significant reduction of over $150,000 in federal and state grant funding, this year’s event is not just a celebration—it’s a lifeline. “Funding cuts of this magnitude threaten our ability to be there for some of Bergen County’s most vulnerable children,” said Executive Director Lucy Rosen. “Now more than ever, we need the community’s support to ensure no child in foster care goes without a voice in court, in school, and in life.”
The elegant evening will take place at Season’s, 644 Pascack Road, Washington Township, from 6:30–10:30 PM and features gaming tables, a silent auction, basket raffles, and abundant food and drink. Tickets are $235 per person, including open bar, gourmet food stations, dessert, and $100 in casino play money.
