Councilman Arrested for Peeing on Crowd
2008-11-10
A Jersey City councilman has reportedly been arrested for urinating on a crowd of concertgoers from the balcony of a Washington D.C. nightclub. The New York Daily News reports in Sunday's editions that two-term Jersey City councilman Steve Lipski has been charged with simple assault.

The newspaper says 44-year-old Lipski was removed from a place called the 9:30 Club on Friday night. That's after club staffers saw him relieve himself onto the crowd from a second floor balcony during a concert by a Grateful Dead tribute band. Messages left at Lipski's council office, and a Jersey City listing under his name were not immediately returned.

#8  What is wrong with the media? The club staff witness should be getting the same level of investigation as Joe the Plumber. For shame!

#6  The New Jersey councilman who allegedly urinated on a crowd of concertgoers from the balcony of a Washington, D.C. nightclub swore off booze on Sunday -- two days after he was busted for the embarrassing stunt. "I've resolved not to touch alcohol again," two-term Jersey City councilman Steve Lipski told the Fox 5 New York. He went on to say that the incident was "deeply humiliating, very embarrassing" and troubling," the Daily News reported.

Never again, I tells ya!!!

The 44-year-old Democratic councilman refused to admit to the lewd stunt.

Oh. So what was so "deeply humiliating, very embarrassing" and troubling,"? Seeing a Grateful Dead cover band?

"I can't comment on that," he told Fox5 News. "I'm going to continue to do all the good things, and I'm not going to let this overshadow me."

So..party on, doods!

Lipski was in D.C. to see a Grateful Dead tribute band and was spotted relieving himself by one of the club's staffers around 9:50 p.m., club sources told the Daily News. He was charged with simple assault.

Yeah, always sucks when there's witnesses...

#5  Easy BH6, Jerry never peed on anyone. Nice fella, great guitarist.

I've seen the tribute band in question several times (Dark Star Orchestra). Like putting a quarter into the way-back machine. Always enjoyed their show. Never got peed upon, or anything else upon for that matter.

Jerry's dead and I'm grateful.

#2  Way back in merry old England, there was a long standing tale of some Lord who was in an upper balcony and did the same during some performance, until someone down below yelled out, "Pardon me, my lord, would you mind shifting to the left a bit? I'm getting the most of it!"
