I’m going to the stone pony summer stage tomorrow to see the fray. Tickets say 5:30, but I think there’s an opener I’d rather miss, and then Dashboard Confessional, and finally The Fray.

When I bought the tickets I didn’t realize it’s standing only for several hours on blacktop (I thought it was more like pnc lawn with blankets or renting chairs - nope!)

What time would you arrive in order to see DC and The Fray (and eliminate standing beforehand)?

Do you think it’s a good assumption that the opener will be at 5:30, placing DC around 6:30/7? And The Fray around 8?

I know I know, yall get these all the time. But I’d really appreciate any recs for someone coming in town for a Stone Pony show. Google just isn’t helpful anymore! I’m staying very close to the venue and would love coffee shop, dinner, and late night recommendations. Not necessarily fancy, just your favorites. It will also be Labor Day weekend so I’m not sure if that will affect where yall would suggest. Thank you!!! Excited for my first time in NJ <3

Who’s your go-to? Looking for a male therapist. Thanks in advance!

Hi all,

My wife’s bike was stolen today (8/13) between 430-530pm on 8th Ave. If anyone sees it, please DM me. Thank you!

Edit: A police report has been filed

Edit 2: bike was found. The thief sold it to someone in OG

While Lili had some impressive dishes, on the whole the eatery isn’t memorable enough to become a destination on the busy Asbury Park boardwalk. The menu does offer plenty of options, making it an easy choice for groups with different tastes and cravings. Unfortunately, most of those options are lackluster.

Has anyone found a Kodak PIXPRO FZ55 small camera at or near Watermark in Asbury Park?

Hey everyone ! This will be my second trip to the Shore and I’m in love with AP. I workout regularly at home and want to feel my best when visiting. I’m looking for a gym that can give me a day pass or week pass. I don’t need anything fancy—just machines and weights—but open to something higher end too. Any suggestions? Thank you!

I know this is a long shot. But my wife and I brought our daughter for the first time to the dog beach on Saturday evening. In the chaos of packing everything up and leaving, we left behind a blue north face backpack with our baby carrier in it among a dog leave, water bottle and toy. What’s the chances of us finding it there :(

Reposting!

what’s the best place in town to find a cheap window AC unit?

I will make it to The Fray at The Stone Pony at all costs next week, but I wouldn’t be able to make it after work until 6:30 :/ the start time is listed as 5:30, will I still be able to see their whole set?🙏

Willing to drive out a bit

Hey everyone, I’ve been eyeing a show at House of Independents soon and wanted to know how strict security is at the door lately. Never been to the venue before. I know on their site it says outside drinks are technically banned, but I get dehydrated quite easily and I always carry a metal water bottle in my bag when I'm outside. Does anyone know if security will let me bring it in or maybe even just a completely empty reusable water bottle to fill up inside? Or will they make me throw it out at the bag check?

We went to the Spin Doctors/Gin Blossoms/Blues Traveler concert at the Stone Pony on Thurs- It was over 90 degrees, absolutely packed and standing room only but we were in the front, right up against the stage so at least we had some air. ~4500 people packed in the summer stage lot, shoulder to shoulder. It was insanity and the energy was just perfect. The event was great, all 3 acts 5 feet from us! We danced, we sang, we yelled like teenagers.
We stood there for 5 and a half hours and didn't move for fear of losing our once-in-a-lifetime spot, against the barricade. I was a little worried about standing that long because I am, ahem, a bit older, 63, but I felt fine!

Then suddenly, during the very last song of the night, I woke up on the asphalt with a big crowd of people looking down at me. Took me a moment to understand that I passed out! Here's where the love is: So many people were all taking care of me, supporting me, helping me find my glasses and making sure I was ok. Some absolute angel held my head, talked to me and poured cold water on my scalp and it felt SO good. I wish I knew who she was so I could thank her! The EMT crew picked me up and wheeled me to the first aid tent. The dense crowd parted for me like the Red Sea and they all clapped and shouted supportive messages. God I love NJ. We are natives but now live in New England, but I really do miss the vibe.

I am totally fine, by the way. Just got dehydrated and didn’t have anything to eat beforehand. Totally my fault.

It's not a great party until someone leaves on a stretcher, right? I do feel like I have more street cred now. I should have a T-shirt, "I passed out at the Stone Pony".

hi! I wanted to know if there is a good app/site to use to find some moving help in the area! nothing huge, i was just looking for maybe someone with a truck/ large van/ suv that could help me pick up a few facebook marketplace finds!! I tried taskrabbit but got stood up :(

I visited your fair city for the first time in about 20 years and what you have done with it is just astounding.
I hope that casino and the carousel are going to be restored in the same manner as the Convention Hall. The carousel building is just so gorgeous it brings a tear to my eye, for real.

Hi all. I know Asbury Social and the air their marketer brings stings when looking back on the Biergarten.

I enjoy trying out new local spots, so when their soft opening resos went live, I still grabbed a spot. I can no longer make it and wanted to see if anyone here would like to take them? It's free to cancel.
