Cold Water Even with a splash of cold water and the bullhorn's wail, you can hardly believe TW is back in town. Convince yourself it's no dream with some strong coffee, and random reunions with 24hr friends arrived in the thick of the night. Raise up your shotglass for the traditional Toast to Tom Waits, and marvel at how much you have in common with anyone who happens to be up at six am. Ted mumbles a few words of welcome, Sean slips on Closing Time, and the day is underway! For shut-ins, recluses, and those too depressed to travel, Join us in spite of it all with a call-in shot at 732-310-0759. You wonder where that hum is coming from -- an old Telharmonium, or perhaps a singing Arc Lamp? Actually, it's WTW-FM's illegal transmitter crackling back to life. With a signal capable of reaching from the backseat of your car to the Battery Farm pond, TW radio brings you special requests, play-by-play, and unsolicited opinions all day.
Lucky Day 7:00am
If you're the romantic kind, you're always willing to put your heart on your sleeve and your money on longshots. A sure way to shorten the odds is with a plate of the luckiest breakfast of the year! Eggs sizzle like silver dollars in the sun, napkins all around are scribbled with can't miss schemes, and toast is stacked like piles of twenties. Listen to J Haze explain how to bet the lottery-odds Superfecta, and celebrate tomorrow's success today with Jack's "Winner's Circle" Bloody Marys and Hot Towels!
Down, Down, Down. 8:00am It's the sport of Swedes in disguise. Up behind the bowling alley, Dana unveils his latest woodworking project - couch toboggans! If you don't carry more than bare-minimum liability insurance on your car, then you're probably perfect for this event. More comfortable than a go-cart, and seating three at least, you notice too late that a couch toboggan, like life, has no steering and no brakes.

You can drive it away today!
Sure, everyone's got bad days to make it through, but no matter what you've got hold on to your dreams - especially the small ones, like, someday driving an ice cream truck, or working the door at the Ivar Theatre. Well, drop by the live broadcast of the Dime Store Radio Hour, and take advantage of a rare chance to talk with host Chris-T. Share your hopes and dreams, and if they involve being interviewed on the radio - then this is a real opportunity! Meanwhile, amid the orange leaves and early evenings, other Borscht-Belt resorts like Brown's and Grossinger's have packed up their summer lawn games for the season. But here at the Dead Battery Farm, everything's out for one last day. Combine fun and danger with a round of jarts, or bowl a few frames at the only outdoor duckpin bowling alley in the world!!
S par e P a r t s 10:00am
Don't fool yourself - it's easy to find something at the Battery Farm, but not necessarily something you're looking for. It's all here somewhere - the opera scenery, the tractor parts, and trailers, sailboats and string instruments. Your hosts attempt to put everything to good use with the first-ever TW Scavenger Hunt!!! Team up and track down the vague and mysterious items on your list, and wonder where it's all leading.
|  It doesn't look like a thresher or a bailer, so what is that strange piece of farm equipment lurching from the barn? It's no dream -- look again and you'll make out the distinctive lines of the TW tractor bar! It may not be International Harvester, but it's still the only bar around where you can kick the tires and smell gasoline - and get full mobile bar service. Don't worry, though - the Horseshoe Bar and Flamingo Lounge are still open... |
Paint Christopher 11:00am
Sure, every now and then you've been in a tight spot where you were ready to offer up a quick prayer to right patron saint, but none of the old ones seemed quite right. Here's your chance to create new and useful "patron saints of the overlooked." Grab a plaster figurine, some cardboard and paint, and work it out. Jen gets the ball rolling with her Patron Saint of Lost Funding. Or, if prefer your icons "all halloween orange and chimney red", join Anna and Zoe for some pumpkin carving!
off the rack: TW - the religious material
