Hal-coholic
Dear Hal,
I used to swill 80 proof brandy for a cold. I swilled so much 80 proof brandy I ended up in AA.
Why don’t you waste $50 putting it in the basket at an AA meeting? For $50 you can find out what your life is going to end up like if your booze-soaked articles are any indication of who you and where you are at right now.
Call AA info. (212) 647-1680. There are meetings all days, all hours in Hoboken and Manhattan.
Sincerely, Alcoholic Anonymous.
P.S. For more mileage, put a dollar in every basket at 50 meetings!
P.P.S. Waste your wages – not your life.

Not a bad idea. Maybe the day that I take that advice isn’t too far off. – HALSend short, interesting missives to current@hudsonreporter.com.

Looking for love
I read Piggy Rabinowitz’s article about Speed Dating and I found it very intriguing (“Looking for love in all the weird places,” Feb. 8.) I was wondering if they also have speed dating for non-Jewish singles. – Cathy D., Hoboken
As far as we know, as of now Speed Dating is only a Jewish thang. But, as Piggy noted in her article, Speed Dating was recently the focus of a Sex in the City episode, and my very well spread to other organizations. Good luck finding your mate.
Advertise you love
I totally agree with Piggy Rabinowitz’s point that meeting people with things in common is so important that we shouldn’t rule out personal ads. (“Other weird dating ideas,” Feb. 8) I met my last boyfriend through a personal and while we recently broke up, we’re still best friends. And, if I don’t meet anyone soon, I plan to use them again. – Heidi S., Jersey City
Right on!
Tasty treats
I’m new to town and didn’t realize that Maxwell’s serves food. I thought the only served music. Anyway, after reading Louise Thach’s article “Dishing out more than music,” I decided to stop into the club for a bite to eat and it was really good. Thanks for the tip. – Frank, Hoboken.
That’s what we’re here for, Frank.
Is it true
I heard a rumor that Hoboken’s Liquid Lounge is closing. Is it true? – Terri L., Hoboken
Yes, it is true. To learn more about it, read Louise Thach’s article on p. 4.
