DAY 2: ALL POINTS WEST MUSIC FESTIVAL

The second day of the All Points West Music and Arts Festival in Liberty State Park in Jersey City could be summed up by two words – sunny and dry.
Tool may have been the headliner for the evening but the highlight of the entire day was there was no rain. That allowed a larger crowd than the day before, and that crowd was not disappointed as they checked out the musical stylings of both up-and-coming acts like the Chicago rap duo The Cool Kids and Kentucky indie band Cage the Elephant and top billers like My Bloody Valentine and The Ting Tings.
Enjoying the day and the music was Christine Goodman, founder of Jersey City’s Art House Productions, manning a booth for her theater company for the festival weekend.
“I think it is great to have All Points West in Jersey City because it is a great reason to be proud of Jersey City,” said Goodman, who also had the chance to listen to her favorites Gogol Bordello, Arctic Monkeys, and Tool. – Ricardo Kaulessar
