Why!

Why does it still say Orlando, FL at the end of each of my posts? I changed my location in my profile. I'm missing something :/

Juno

Went to see Juno last night at the Regal on Elmwood. Great movie. Jason Bateman did a fantastic job in his role...everyone did actually. Lots of dry humor. Highly recommended.

Volunteerism

Curious if anyone here volunteers in some capacity, and what they do? Looking for something that might be a good fit.

Bandits are Back in Black

think of it as a wheel of fortune before and after clue.


so the Bandits season is back on!! Looks like the players union thought the league wouldn't really cancel the season so they have now reached a deal. God I hate unions. On a sidenote went to see Lewis Black at Shea's last night with the girlfriend and a couple friends. Good times. Also ate at City Grill on Main, excellent place I really never heard about.

No Lacrosse! :(

So the NLL season has been cancelled due to a labor dispute!! BUMMER!!! Over the past couple years some of the best sporting events I've attended have been Bandits games and I was just about to buy season tickets for this year. I finally move to Buffalo and this happens. Wow....to think this could be the feeling x1000 one year soon only for the Bills :/

Darien Lake

So, I've noticed that all the major bands perform at Darien Lake. Makes sense I guess, in between Buffalo and Rochester, and I'm sure the park gives some incentives as well. Too bad more aren't at HSBC. I've heard it's a nightmare going to shows there though, anyone have any feedback from shows they've attended?
Such as....if you're back in the 400 or 500 sections how far is that, really - too far to see anything? And how is access? Being in the middle of nowhere I bet it's worse than trying to leave a Bills game 10x over. I really want to go to the Projekt Revolution Tour, but if it's going to be a major headache I won't bother!

Retail rant!

Everyone knows working retail sucks so why do I even have to explain? I guess I don't, really. How does one end up in a field that so completely universally sucks anyway? I guess it's the fact that since I was a child I wanted to own my own store...yeah that's coming along well. Anyway, in Orlando I was able to blame most of my crap customers on the fact that it was Orlando and everyone there was rude, obnoxious and wanted to murder everyone else, which is of course true. Now, this job is making me hate Buffalonians (or Western New Yorkers if you will) just as much and that's a damn shame.

Everyone here is so damn CHEAP it blows my mind. One of the other store managers I talked to said "Buffalo is the only place where if you buy a new car, you'll brag about how little you paid instead of how much you paid." That statement seems very true and odd to me. They come in repeatedly taking advantage of and working the system in every legal yet unethical way possible to save a couple bucks...or in one case this week, 14 cents. Seriously, if you people in Amherst are that poor I will start up a fund for you where I personally donate my own hard earned money to save your bank accounts. Now we have multiple locations...one of which is exactly 2.5 miles away and took me 3 minutes to reach the other day. When I'm out of something involved in aforementioned savings and offer to call that location to see if they have it in stock I get "ohhhh I can't go allllll the wayyyy over there!!!!!!!!" Are you freaking kidding me? There is no place in the Buffalo metropolitan area that is a far drive. People here are CHEAP as HELL and can't be bothered to drive more than 1 mile from their homes. Jesus.

Eats

What's your favorite place to eat in WNY?
I'm trying to try out as many different unique places as I can but find it difficult to get information on places since most don't seem to have websites or anything. For example, I was trying to find a menu or website for Empire Grill or Mother's but couldn't come up with anything useful.

NIMBY'S!!!!!

Tying into my last post, I get downright FURIOUS when I read about people trying to stop development in Buffalo/Erie County. Already, a group has filed a petition and hired a lawyer to prevent the 22-story Gates Circle Condominiums from being built. Again, people, where do you think you live?! You're the reason the city has lost over 50% of it's population and is in such a downward spiral!! Developers are coming here with great projects we should feel very fortunate for and there's always some group of idiots to chase them away like the hotel on Elmwood!!!
