tinypliny writes at 01:28:02 12/31/08 - Comment #43899: WOW! That IS an awesome picture! HOW did you take that??? I LOVE fireworks!!! And I have never seen a ball drop. I want to see your christmas tree and of course stalk (e:mike) big time! :D

jenks writes at 09:47:47 12/30/08 - Comment #43871: Well, I'd also like to see some peeps and admire your tree, so I wouldn't come JUST for secret santa...

But yeah, I think secret santa is only 4 people this year. Not really sure what happened.

but alone those lines- has ANYone heard ANYthing from IMK? I have texted/called/emailed/facebooked her multiple times over the last couple weeks with zero reply. have to admit, I'm getting a wee bit nervous.

metalpeter writes at 06:44:40 12/30/08 - Comment #43869: I'll be there I have some of my alcohol all ready may get some more we shall see, I'll see you all about 10 then.

matthew writes at 05:25:48 12/30/08 - Comment #43867: (E:jenks), I didn't think secret Santa was happening this year. (check with (e:im2k)) So, if you're busy, don't feel the need to stop by. Have fun at your party.

jenks writes at 03:12:21 12/30/08 - Comment #43866: Unfortunately I have 2 other places to be, but I *will* stop by, even if just to drop of my secret santa gift... so it might be really early, or really late. sorry!

heidi writes at 12:31:07 12/30/08 - Comment #43865: I am *so* bummed that I won't be there!!! Please have another gathering soon :-)

Happy New Year, (e:peeps)!

james writes at 12:30:36 12/30/08 - Comment #43864: Thanks again for hosting. Someday when I build a floating fortress in order to take over the world I will make it up to you.

matthew writes at 12:15:07 12/30/08 - Comment #43863: ...and I bet they are fabulous!! The weather on the buffalo end seems pretty good, we are expected to get a few inches of snow today, but tomorrow is supposed to stay more or less clear. Hope you can make it!!

hodown writes at 11:55:00 12/30/08 - Comment #43862: Hopefully the snow will stay at bay and I'll make it. I have my non pointy party shoes ready to go.

matthew writes at 11:52:29 12/30/08 - Comment #43861: Thanks, i took that a few new years ago. I would love to get more with my new camera, but i'm usually at the (e:strip) party! Maybe from the roof with a zoom lens.

Christmas Tree part 1

Well, we got our Christmas tree! After trying 3 places in various city locations we finally found a decent tree for a decent price at Adams Nursery on Sheridan Drive. Now it's only 6 hours until our (e:strip) holiday party, so i need to kick my x-mas decorating into high gear! Cant wait to see you guys tonight around 8pm!! Oh, and if you could remember to bring some cash for the pizza and wings that would be soo great. I'd really appreciate it. Oh, and i think we'll get a meaty pizza and a veggie pizza. Any suggestions on a pizza joint?

Here is the tree pre-decorated:

Winter, where are you?

It snowed in Dallas, Texas today. Las Vegas too. But not Buffalo, NY. The North East in general is covered in snow and ice. Weird.

Here are some shots from when it was snowing in Buffalo.

metalpeter writes at 02:33:16 12/19/08 - Comment #43532: It really looks pretty nice out right now, sorry no pictures posted yet, that will be Saturday hopefully after the Sabres Game tonight. I think more snow on Sunday also, now if you can ask for some Hot chicks for (e:metalpeter) who also have a video camera to tape it, Ha then maybe I'll have a great Birthday and Christmas. I don't like big storms but the snow outside does look very nice when not shoveling it.

matthew writes at 10:04:58 12/17/08 - Comment #43400: Yeah, I like the snow up 'till new years, than I'm done with it! Thanks for the nice comments guys! I've taken a few pics of the snow this year, but I'm stuck indoors at work so I can't take more.

leetee writes at 09:37:42 12/17/08 - Comment #43399: You photos are, as always, beautiful. I look at them, and for a few minutes, i want it to snow. Then, i think about driving in it, salt and slush and change my mind...

A friend of mine who lives in a suburb of Sydney Australia once told me i was "so lucky" to have it snow "right at the front door!" She loves it and goes to the Snowys as often as posible so she can ski. Of course, i told her that it only seems romantic if you don't have to trudge through it and deal with the salt and the slush and the grey snow of March...

Enjoy the white while we can!

Did you take any of this snow, (e:Matthew)?

matthew writes at 08:05:22 12/17/08 - Comment #43393: Looks like I spoke too soon. It's snowing!

tinypliny writes at 12:03:14 12/17/08 - Comment #43391: Oh man, are you like a weather God or something?? Look out the window. We are buried.

metalpeter writes at 08:22:31 12/16/08 - Comment #43383: Thanks for the pictures. I think most of the snow has been out of Buffalo, it seems like it has been just warm enough to get rain, I think more snow will be here soon. Just to ad on some time this year maybe about a week ago in snowed in New Orleans .

libertad writes at 07:22:11 12/16/08 - Comment #43376: Nice pics. I really love the first one. It actually makes me want it to snow! I think that is just the right amount though. It sucks when it just dumps on us and we are stuck with it forever.

tinypliny writes at 04:54:50 12/16/08 - Comment #43367: They are so perfect, they are unreal. HOW HOW HOW HOW do you do it!!?? I know you have like a sackful of Mathewmagic dust at hand, but really... These are beyond perfect. Thanks for posting!!

fellyconnelly writes at 04:37:02 12/16/08 - Comment #43364: You make buffalo so beautiful

theecarey writes at 03:59:46 12/16/08 - Comment #43362: I think you might be in luck, will a winter weather advisory for tonight and tomorrow pacify you? ;)

:::link:::

4-6 inches possible, not a lot but perhaps leading to more winter wonderland photo opportunities? My absolute favorite time of the winter season is when the snow sticks to the trees, as in your pictures. Nice!

jenks writes at 02:33:29 12/16/08 - Comment #43359: ooh, yay. I've missed Matthew-pictures. :)

E:strip Holiday Dinner

Hey guys,

We are planning our (e:strip) holiday dinner for this Thursday, December 18th. It will be at 24 Linwood avenue starting around 7:30-8:00 pm. We were thinking of ordering pizza and wings, so if you could come with a small bit of cash that would be great. We'll split the bill as long as that's okay with everyone. Any suggestions or comments are welcome! Oh, and feel free to bring beer, wine, soda, or anything else you might want to drink. (E:terry) and I will bring the eggnog! So far (e:Paul), (e:terry), (e:jim), (e:James), and I have committed. Anyone else??
