JE Englebert Is Actually From Staten Island
JE Englebert is the owner of sub par nightclubs Prime and Suzie Wongs and also loves to send out stupid press releases. He is also from Staten Island. Now it is all coming together. Today's missive states:
John “JE” Englebert President of the Staten Island Good Neighborhood Association is calling for a boycott of Belmar New Jersey by Staten Islanders. An apology is not good enough. The group wants the Mayor Kenneth Pringle who insulted Staten Island to spend 24 hours in the crown island jewel of New York. He would be treated to the local cuisine including a night at the Staten Island Hotel. The Staten Island Good Neighbor Association wants to take him on a tour of the place people love to dump on.
If he refuses the group plans a fundraiser to give for the candidate that runs against him in the next election and boycott ads will be placed in local newspapers across Staten Island.
Sounds like a really good cause to be involved with. We don't care about any of this at all. We just love to see Shaolin fighting with the NJ town that just reinstated the right to have a keg party and give the finger, and that the bane of NYC nightlife has gotten involved. Oh, we also heard from a Little Birdy that both of JE's clubs are for sale and that El Presidente is looking to get out. Wouldn't that be terrible?

OH gimme a frikkin break. i lived in staten island for 8 years and it wasn't nearly as bad as i thought it would be. i STILL keep my old place as a work studio, cuz quite frankly, you just can't beat $1200.00 for a large 2BR with a gigantic kitchen and free parking, that's only 15-25 minutes from downtown manhattan.
and i STILL keep running into peeps i know out there, whom you would never have thought live in shaolin (but only because they're too embarrassed to admit it to anybody, cuz of uppity judgmental haters like yalls).
but whatever, ignoramoos-- keep on hating while you take the subway to brooklyn or queens or wherever, or just keep thumbing your noses (with the rest of your 27 roommates) over on the rat-infested lower east side.
sheesh.
sheesh
