Hide the women and children! Skirt Night took place July 1 at Duffy’s in Hoboken. The event, organized by our own Chris Halleron (author of the column “Hal Wastes His Wages”), was a lighthearted commentary on the political flap about Ladies Night in New Jersey. Spotted in the crowd: grass skirts, sarongs, kilts, and leopard-print skirts. One guy revealed that he was wearing his wife’s maternity skirt.Name: Clint Scott
