Events

I have to say First Night was one of the great ones. Large attendance, great job by the staff keeping things going, participation of newbies and alumni, having the Mayor […]

We don’t know why the Pyramids disappeared, but the rest of us had fun. A tad too many acoustic guitar/singer types for my liking. Good thing Thatcher and his gang […]

The Valentine’s day “Carendipity”. Decent size crowd, good bands, excellent open mic. Almost made some money. Love that dry ice seltzer!

The best ever Hip-Hop Serendipity, the “Rap-Fest”. Good sized audience, interesting variety, a whole new bunch of people.

The Relay for Life was definitely an all-nighter. We set a record for playing outdoor live music in Montclair, playing until 11:15PM without getting complained about! The relay was a great success in terms of money raised. Ken donated the generator rental fee. We could have used some more help at the end. And some better […]

There is nothing like Festival Underground, when it doesn’t rain! There was a decent crowd of our usual audience, including some open mic performers, regulars, and so on. The weather was perfect. Ken was as tough as a circus roustabout, and the staff were very helpful, happy, relaxed. We put on 7 or eight bands, […]

The independence day was a great success. Elvis lead our group, which included Patrick from Sponge Bob (Jeremy), Winnie the Pooh (Julia Z and Josh), Cookie Monster (Nick Levine) and […]

The 8/6 event at the Library was smooth and cool, despite the many changes in performers, & the competition with the Acres reunion performance. We got out on time, which helps our chances for doing Serendipity at the Library in the future. On 8/28 we had some difficulties at the Nishuane Park “Camp Serendipity”. Now, the s’mores were […]

The Alumni Reunion worked out pretty well. We had some good music, some olde buddies, and some swirley cake. Not to mention ukuleles. Next year I want someone to be alumni invitor.

Scarendipity 2010 featured 10 Sleep, Things Keep Happening, Werebears, Mannyfesto, a bit of that gameboy stuff at open mic, Josh on guitar, etc. 67 paid customers, and more than a dozen staff members. Pumpkin pie eating contest. Nick Levine, the winner. Should have had prizes for not being sick afterwards.
