New t-shirt that says "Weird NJ" on top of a circle of Weird NJ-based horoscope choices, all circling the image of Tillie from Asbury Park. The bottom of the circle says, "zodiac of the Garden State." We don't know if you are Calico or Big Red Eye or Lucy the Elephant, but you do you.

We have a new zodiac inspired t-shirt that came out pretty well. But you have to figure out what #WeirdNJ sign corresponds to you because we didn't assign them. Basically, what appeals to you is what you are. Info and link to buy here:

Want a T. rex for your yard? N.J. dinosaur park, set to close, is selling animatronic creatures. Or maybe you'd prefer a triceratops for your terrace.

We're sad to learn @Jerseysaurus is closing on November 9 but wanted to point out that they are selling their dinosaurs.

Repeat for all of you #PersonalizedProperties fans:

They are selling their dinosaurs.

From the play, The Devil and Daisy Dirt," showing an on-stage encounter between the Jersey Devil and...Daisy Dirt. The scene is dramatically light in red and blue lighting as JD sneaks up on Daisy behind the Pine Barrens diner she works at.

One of the great pleasures we have always had when we attend live events around the state is meeting the wonderfully weird family of friends we have out there.

One of the folks we are almost certain to see is Bee Leonard, known better to us as Brittney.
