ROBERT CRAY, BOB SAGET, the Blue Man Group, “Hot Pockets” comic Jim Gaffigan — just another star-studded weekend in Atlantic City. And out on the mainland, and south from Ocean City to Wildwood, there’s a lot set for this weekend — check our online calendar — just a month before Labor Day. That’s right, there’s still a lot of summer left, so don’t fret. And as every local knows, one of the best times of the year down here is September.
Inside this week’s issue, our editors have a wealth of good stuff for you. Mike Pritchard interviews guitarist/singer-songwriter Robert Cray, who performs at the Hilton this Saturday night (Aug. 15). Also, Lori Hoffman gives her take of Fame, the long-running revue show musical currently running at the Tropicana. Hoffman also wrote this week’s cover story on the ever-popular Atlantic City Air Show, which is set for Wednesday, Aug. 19.
Our columnists have contributed an array of informative pieces this week as well.
Carole Mattessich interviews Josh Cutler, a Top 40 Under 40 honoree in the past, for her “People” column. Cutler is responsible for one of the most popular summer camps down here at the Jersey Shore and is a big jazz fan. Meanwhile, Ray Tyler previews this Saturday night’s Roy Ayers/DJ “Silk” Hurley concert at the Tropicana and Frank Gabriel profiles an Ocean City landmark restaurant, the Island Grill.
