Jersey City Councilman and wicked pissah Steve Lipski came out of hiding this evening to address the Jersey City council caucus where he read a statement acknowledging he is an alcoholic. He didn’t quite cop to pissing on his fellow Deadheads from the balcony of the 9:30 Club in Washington D.C. at a Dark Star Orchestra concert, but he came pretty close….
Lipski Gets Perez’d
First and foremost I want to apologize to everyone who has been affected by this mess, especially my wife, the mayor, my colleagues on the council, my constituents, my students and staff at CREATE Charter School and fellow Deadheads. I am truly sorry. Against my attorney’s advice I have decided to give a brief statement about circumstances leading up to and following the incident at the Nightclub 9:30 on the night of November 7, 2008. I cannot and will not speak about what actually happened at the club because this matter is still under investigation.
On November 7, 2008, I, with two very close friends, one of whom I have known since kindergarten and had gone to Dead shows back in the ’70s and ’80s, drove to Washington, D.C., to see Dark Star Orchestra, a Grateful Dead cover band. Having had two years of sobriety, not having to drive, and being with two of my closest friends in the world, I decided to drink alcohol. This was my biggest mistake.
You see, I am an alcoholic, but I had not drunk for two years. I fell off the wagon. Flipped. Crashed. Burned. Whatever one might want to label it, I screwed up.
