Fishtown has scrod, mural days and beer farty meetings for the Johnny Brenda live spot. Penn's Landing has sweaty ethno jam-bore-ees. Sounds thrrrrrrrrilling. So for the damned last weekends of summer, consider Jersey. Please?! It'll get you out my face while I drive my Zamboni through the Fringe. Besides, Jersey is nice. A.C.? Loveable. Even with the Miss America pageant muffing 84 years of tradition by leaving Boardwalk Hall forever. Good riddance. Head for Nashville. Y'all deserve each other's veneered hillybilly charm. (Last time I was at the pageant, I was wacked up on mushrooms and blow. Still, nary a worthy hallucination.) So why the rush to N.J.? Hearing that Diddy was looking at $7 million mansions in Ventnor, thinking of Margate as the third borough of Miami is enough to make you throw up James' salt water taffy. I want to see the ol' place, as it is, one more time before I die. … Plus, I got N.J. peeps I have to give big love to on their new gigs. Our old pal Robert Dippold — once-upon-a-GM for the RuffNation/RuffHouse labels — is GMing at Trustkill Records in Tinton Falls, N.J. Lotsa hardcore screamo. Also heading into the land of lost metal is N.J.'s Larry Mazer of Entertainment Services Unlimited — hooked into the Combat relaunch, the label that brought you Megadeth. They'll start dumping toxic-rawk from At All Cost and HORSE the Band this month. Grr. Rhodes Mason, he who used to run Nuclear Blast America, is now on the dirty-tittie-lined White Horse Pike doing his thing for SingingFool.com and VideoDetective.com, overseeing the two streaming video Web sites' promo efforts. "Turning the growing audience for streaming video into paying customers for movies, concerts, CDs, DVDs and legal downloads is fun for the fans coming to our sites," says Rhodes. I understand fun. Wonderful Jon Solomon's 100th live fling with Kinski on his WPRB, Princeton, N.J., radio show was fun. Joisey's own white-knuckling Still Standing is fun — even moreso, now that they've finished recording their demo with producer Tommy Henriksen in L.A. Want a fun opening in Jersey: There's ex-MANNA Catering's Tim Bellew, who chefed in Margate and Ventnor — eek, trendy fucker — before he bought his brand-new Fire, an organic "wholesome international cuisine" thing at Cherry Hill's Village Walk. Plus, we're all still waiting to hear if Runnemede talent agent Veronica Goodman is gwanna buy Pitman, N.J.'s Broadway Theatre out of bankruptcy and make it theatre-, concert- and comedy-worthy. Alright. Enough with the Jersey. … Don't cry for Jerry Blavat, the Geator, who, along with Christy Springfield and Charlie Bennett, get yanked from WPEN when the station goes sports talk in October. (Rumor: They only went oldies in 2004 because they needed to perfect their lousy signal.) Blavat is set to rerelease all of his Discophonic Scene footage onto DVD. DS was the TV show he hosted starting in 1965, starring not only a young Geator in his own clothing line and performances by the dancing-girl Geatorettes, but interviews between Blavat and Sonny & Cher, Marvin Gaye, Aretha Franklin and a hundred more. "It's the Blavat TV years, priceless stuff that myself and my lawyer, Alan Arrow, (Jagger, Liza) are getting together for European release," says Blavat. Next up: Could Jerry be hooking up with Little Steven for SIRIUS satellite radio? … WHOWHATWHERE: Phillies' Randy Wolf and 10 of his bestest buds knocked down shots and Stoli-7-Ups (Wolf's poison) at Public House. Very polite. Nice tip. Mark Wahlberg and five of his best buds loomed in Denim's VIP section Saturday. "Very much in amber," says mah spy. "And very generous tippers." … I loathe The Comeback, HBO's most desperate show. But I accidentally tuned in to see Project Runway/Project Jay's Jay McCarroll playing himself as a bitchy couturier to Lisa Kudrow's People's Choice Award red-carpet walk. Then it hit me: If all this clothing stuff doesn't work out, he can be the Paul Lynde of fashion, all catty asides and curled-lip smirks. That level of lowbrow reminds me: MTV is running their makeover of hickish Jersey resident Karen Stuffer on Trailer Fabulous with style whip-ups by Washington Township's Beaute' Ange' boutique. If they start getting the girls from Berlin Farmer's Market, they'll know they made a mistake. … Weddings: Congrats to the Blue Comet's Tommy Maguire and Katie Matiza, hitched not only with Brian Setzer and Comet owner Scott Acker as tag-team best men and Tommy Conwell on "Bridal March," but with a reception at Glen Foerd mansion starring Conwell and the Rockats. "The music got a little loud for the Glen Foerd's taste, but we all survived," says Maguire. And mazel tov to Pagan Dominick "Tac" DiPietro and Maria Sinagoga- DiPietro who got hitched at Our Lady of Angels Church in West Philly with a procession that featured banners like "Death to the Hells Angels." Sweet.
