    P.S. How do listings get in the main article instead of being in the comments section? This is a Montclair sponsored event more than it is my gig and so I would like to see Baristanetnj promote it.

  4. Jefferson,
    Send an e-mail to thrills@baristanet.com
    include pictures.
    I sent them a flyer for the Montclair Society of Engineers MHS Robotics Demo and they did an excellent re-write and included one of the pictures.

  5. Jefferson — how many free plus do you need??? — I’ve seen your name mentioned in the Montclair Center Stage box at the top right of the web page, the Church Street Cafe plugs you, you do your own plug, then you want more of a prominent mention in the thrills page — and now I’m plugging you!!!!If only the Partridge Family had such great free press — we still might be touring? Reuben Kincaid never did a great job.

  6. I guess I haven’t been paying attention, but how do you get this events (aka thrills) page from the new home page? I cannot find the link, I’m so lost.

  7. Uh, excuse my ignorance but where is Mountainside Park? They are no directions to it ANYWHERE.

  8. everybody sing you too Jefferson
    Hello, world, here’s a song that we’re singin’,

    A whole lotta lovin’ is what we’ll be bringin’,
    we’ll make you happy
    We had a dream we’d go trav’lin’ together
    We’d spread a little lovin’ then we’d keep movin’ on
    Somethin’ always happens whenever we’re together
    We get a happy feelin’ when we’re singin’ a song
    Trav’lin’ along there’s a song that we’re singin’,
    c’mon get happy
    A whole lotta lovin’ is what we’ll be bringin’,
    we’ll make you happy
    We’ll make you happy,
    we’ll make you happy
    yah hoo The Partridge family

  9. I heard a rumor that NJT will be running free trains to the Mountainside stop from the other Montclair stations; is that true?
    Any word on the rain date for Brookdale’s fireworks?

  10. If you have any questions on the ontclair Fireworks, Picnic or Parade, simply click on the banner ad for it at the top of the Barista page. That will take you to
    https://www.montclairnjusa.org/
    Where all of your questions are answered (except Ms M question on the location of Mountainside Park).

  11. I did click on that link, but the “Getting There” section only gives driving directions and a link to NJT; NJT doesn’t say anything about special trains for this event.

  12. I did click on that link, but the “Getting There” section only gives driving directions and a link to NJT; NJT doesn’t say anything about special trains for this event.
    Eventually I found a side link to NJ Transit Fireworks Express though.
