meerkat manor is bringin sexy back

awesome time last night guys! you are all wonderful and fun people!!
thanks for such a wonderful time.. and thanks (e:terry) for making sure we went to the big scary lesbo bar...

for all those not in the know, last night we went... well... i guess we were barhoppin all over allen street! and i got to finally meet many (e:peeps)! and lauren and i both ended up being highly drunk. i don't know how you guys do it... i'm too old apparently... lol

today we woke at 11. we decided not to go up to visit my brother and hit the Wilson Field days. because i felt like poo.
then i got a call from said brother to let me know that if we were coming up and found him not there - its because he had to take his wife to the emergency room for splashing boiling oil from the chicken fryer on herself. apparently her neck has a lot of burns, and some burns on her arms... she was sent home with some burn cream and pain killers - but it apparently looks bad enough that she is going to have some serious scars...

then i check my myspace and find that my friend mel in florida fell on her dog and broke her nose.

and then i think i shouldn't even leave the house today - but no... apparently we are going to go check out the walden galleria (is this a bad idea???) because lauren wants to get some new clothes...

i hate trying on clothes... seriously...

anyway - tomorrow we will hit the elmwood festival...

OH and lauren bought us tickets to see ani difranco at her church in september. i don't know why i thought you would want to know that... but there you go.
oh and she is on the couch looking cute right now. lauren, not ani difranco.

mike writes at 12:31:16 08/27/07 - Comment #23140: i love shopping! The galleria is good and expanded recently, it is the mall around here that has the most choices and stores. The Outlet mall though has good deals cuz it is outlet and also has a lot of stores but not as many as the galleria. I go to the outlet mall when i am in the mood to go "hiking". I don't relaly like the outdoors and am more about asphalt and at the outlet mall you can walk outside so I go there when I am in a "naturey" mood.

fellyconnelly writes at 10:52:51 08/26/07 - Comment #23094: hmmm i knew that vitamin E was good for the skin - just didn't know of it as a oil/roller form... interesting... maybe i'll pick some up this week and give it to her next sunday when i see her... i'd imagine you shouldn't put it on TOO soon...

james writes at 10:32:58 08/25/07 - Comment #23077: Vitamin E is a fat soluble vitamin. This means you can cram vitamin E into an oil base. A roller is just a vial of E oil that you can uncap and roll over an area. It helps with healing the skin. I don't know how bad the burns are, but this should help recovery some.

And the outlet mall has good deals as well as a big selection. I hate people and I hate commerce. So I try to avoid shopping as much as possible. grrr

fellyconnelly writes at 09:58:01 08/25/07 - Comment #23070: we thought about it... perhaps we will make it up there at some point - but is it better deals at the outlet malls? or just a greater selection?

and (e:james) what is a vitamin E roller? does it work? i'm assuming it works since you just suggested it... but yeah

james writes at 07:59:22 08/25/07 - Comment #23066: Yikes! Tell your brother to get a vitamin E roller for the poor woman.

jenks writes at 05:59:51 08/25/07 - Comment #23064: I'm not really into shopping either, but as far as malls go I think the galleria is pretty decent...

jim writes at 05:48:17 08/25/07 - Comment #23062: 20 minutes away in Niagara Falls, there is a semi-decent outlet mall :::link:::

going out?

lauren and i are considering going out tonight
on allen street somewhere
just for a couple of drinks...

anyone care to join us? or have suggestions as to where?

james writes at 06:58:23 08/24/07 - Comment #23009: Well, I will put my vote in for Coulter Bay on account of the Blue Moon and headache. As if somehow the magic of one will dispel the other.

drew writes at 06:31:00 08/24/07 - Comment #23007: I think the ball is in your court on that decision. Read the reviews and pick one!

fellyconnelly writes at 06:19:29 08/24/07 - Comment #23006: okay so did you guys decide where we are going yet?
i'm going to go relax/have dinner... i think i'm getting a headache which is NOT good... pooey

james writes at 06:17:14 08/24/07 - Comment #23005: Coulter Bay has Blue moon on draft.

:::link:::

james writes at 06:15:19 08/24/07 - Comment #23004: It doesn't look like they have blue moon
:::link:::
that is their beer/wine list

janelle writes at 05:30:10 08/24/07 - Comment #23001: Drew thinks they might have it bottles, but neither one of us is sure.

fellyconnelly writes at 05:27:29 08/24/07 - Comment #22999: here is a deal breaker... does the hardware have blue moon? i'm an addict and if i don't get my blue moon fix i'm afraid i'll be plum crazy.

drew writes at 05:25:21 08/24/07 - Comment #22997: We can be at any bar you name after 8pm! We even started pre-gaming!

lauren writes at 03:54:17 08/24/07 - Comment #22993: Awwwww! Ya'll are so sweeeet.
Ok, but seriously folks...we are talking a not to late, only a couple and by couple I mean two or three at the most kinda night. It seems to me that there is some disagreement among those who wish to accompany us...now please don't fight even though we are so very cool and all...hehe, yeah, but where to go? We have been to only one bar on Allen so we are open to whatever you suggest. Do respond.

jason writes at 02:59:46 08/24/07 - Comment #22988: Colter Bay (B+): I like it there. They have a version of the "Group Therapy" that keeps the 6 shots of whiskey but replaces typical bar beer with Stella Artois. Muy delicioso. Mixed crowd. I think there is a dart board. Has a patio, and the inside I would say is spacious enough for me. I would say above average beer variety, average liquor quality. Overall it's a pretty good joint, my favorite of the three by a very small margin.

Hardware (B): For me, the best atmosphere of the three, although it does get very busy and very crowded because of the small size of the place. Nice music usually. Pretty good selection of booze of all kinds, although they don't have all of the beers that I like (within reasonable parameters, I don't expect all bars to carry St. Bernardus Abt 12). Stocked with hipsters, posers and wannabes who want to look classy drinking wine, although they wouldn't know the difference between a Chateau Lefite and a Chateau Elmwood. Go ahead and try to find a parking spot, I dare you. Overall, a nice joint to visit and get a little saucy, once you get in the door.

Mother's (B-): A misanthrope's paradise. The most upscale of the three, with the best booze selection. If you like whiskey, they have Oban, which is the only reason why Josh would ever go to Mother's. Filled to the fucking brim with wannabe trophy wives, effete fakesters, and all sorts of people I despise. Oh yeah, and you're forced to deal with them too, because usually it's packed like you're in a cigarette box. As a result it is difficult to get drinks. Usually I can stand about 30 minutes there before compulsively wanting to leave. Remove all of that, and you have what could be a very, very nice upscale bar. Just get your fantastic booze and keep your elbows out.

jbeatty writes at 01:56:25 08/24/07 - Comment #22974: Oh btw if you guys are still out after I get out of work I would love to go. Although I shouldn't be out to late because Im going to Syracuse to work in the morning.

james writes at 01:47:09 08/24/07 - Comment #22972

I disagree with my two learned colleagues. You aren Lauen seem not only uncool but Hardware smells like wet dog.

BANG* *CRASH* *POW*

ahem, now that my evil twin has been defeated but lives to fight another day, I will beg and whine to see if (e:Jim) would like to go out.

And Coulter Bay has delicious, delicious sweet beer.

jbeatty writes at 01:19:44 08/24/07 - Comment #22967: I agree with Janelle, both about the supremely cool part and about Allen Street Hardware. Mother's is pretty cool as well although kinda pricey imho. Colter Bay has some really good beers on tap as well.

janelle writes at 01:14:23 08/24/07 - Comment #22965: Depending on the time, you might be able to persuade (e:Drew) and myself to go, especially since he has declared you and Lauren to be supremely cool, lol.
We've both been to and enjoyed the Allen Street Hardware Cafe.

lauren is doing some kind of cute little booty dance in the kitchen while waiting for the hot water for her oatmeal. its very cute.

thanks, jim and james, for renewing the TPain quotes that will never leave my life...

oh and by the way? my lip gloss is poppin.

i'm just sitting here while we wait for an appropriate time to go out. that point being the point in which i have had enough blue moon to sufficiently relax me.

tomorrow i'm going to my brothers to babysit. no i'm not babysitting my brother, i'm babysitting my brothers' kids. and by babysitting, i mean heading around the corner to my uncles house for a card playing party while lauren watches the kids... hehe

okay no really i should probably stop typing.

XXX Rated Pornographic Pervert XXX

Here is the point where you all find out what my true interests in life are... This post may or may not have been alluded to in previous entries....

so here is the deal. I need to find out some information on adult stores in the buffalo area.

1. Where are they? I saw two stores up on Elmwood that are practically across from eachother. I think both of them look like old warehouses. Kind of scary and I don't think I'm interested. Are there any not scary ones around?

2. Where can i find zoning information about adult stores? Say if one of the e-strippers here was interested in opening a store in buffalo that looked more like a Brookstones than a dirty warehouse peep store? Where might that e-stripper find this info out?

3. In the mean time, are there any (not blockbuster) video rental stores that may or may not have an adult video section that might not be full of only titles such as "AssMan goes to Vegas?"

All of your information will be highly appreciated. And if you are afraid to speak up, you may send me an email or post it and I won't tell a soul (except maybe lauren) as to where the info comes from.

Thanks Peeps!

fellyconnelly writes at 01:24:56 08/17/07 - Comment #22483: okay i guess i have to do some more research on the ones around the city... i just can't seem to find them listed online...

metalpeter writes at 06:50:46 08/16/07 - Comment #22423: Last time I went past second skin they still had stuff in the windows that looked like they never took it. I had never been in there. I knew they sold leather clothes and things like that but I didn't know they sold sex stuff to, wish I did then. The rummor I heard is that they where busted for having sex parties in the back by the cops. If that is true I'm not sure if that would be enough to keep them closed. There used to be a sex shop right on elmwood with big glass windows but they only sold sex aides and no videos. In terms of sex shops that weren't mentioned I guess there is some huge place out around Hamburg and there are a few other around the city but I don't know how to explain where they are exactly. Oh yeah there is one on the chip strip and I think it is in a great location. In terms of zoning I can't help you there.

fellyconnelly writes at 11:21:59 08/16/07 - Comment #22401: (e:imk2) - this sounds great! i'll take a walk down allen street today and check it all out... i'm assuming that if there was one there - that means there is a pretty good chance that zoning laws will allow one to be there!
thanks for the info!

lauren writes at 10:48:37 08/16/07 - Comment #22392: Drew- that is indeed her real name and it gets better: Wazina Bibi Zondon...and Afghani name if you are curious. And it is wah-zee-nah, which thankfully is a little more difficult to rhyme with :)

imk2 writes at 12:24:23 08/16/07 - Comment #22382: my ex's brother used to own an adult store right on allen street called second skin. he closed it down a couple of years ago. not sure why, possibly because he was moving on to bigger and better things, but i think that store front is still empty. you could possibly look into opening up something there. i've never been in there, but from what i hear, it was a pretty cool place. not scummy at all.

drew writes at 10:11:37 08/15/07 - Comment #22381: Is her name pronounced WAH ZEE NA or WAH ZI NAH?

and if it is the latter, is that her real name? Cause you'd think people would make too many rhymes, given her career choice.

fellyconnelly writes at 09:24:15 08/15/07 - Comment #22379: Wow thanks for the info all!

www.shevibe.com

in conjunction with these peeps, i am looking into the possibility of opening up an adult store that doesn't make you feel dirty or uncomfortable walking into. a classy joint, ya know?

but i need to know where i can find out the zoning regulations in buffalo. i can't seem to find anything online...

oh and my friends from back in new paltz have their own 'home party' business. wazina is also a peer educator for planned parenthood, but as a sexual health educator - she is very informative! in the aforementioned link you will find her featured in the 'whats up wazina' section...

ajay writes at 08:59:58 08/15/07 - Comment #22377: Pics, (e:jenks)! Pics!!

I remember the adult store at the corner of Elmwood and Amherst. I'm not aware of any others.

Have you checked across the border? Canada might have several.

Of course, nothing can beat our very own Good Vibrations :::link:::

jenks writes at 08:07:49 08/15/07 - Comment #22371: the tupperware-party style of sex toy sales seems to be all the rage these days, too. One of my friends is having a 'party' soon....

james writes at 07:30:24 08/15/07 - Comment #22365: The Great American Book Store is on Niagara. The staff are three men in their 60;s. There is practically no heat in the place so in winter they are all wearing fingerless gloves and scarves. It is really Dicansian.

The one across from Dickie's Doughnuts on Elmwood has been fun to go to. They don't actually have much there but the staff is always hilariously helpful. Seriously, they act like they work in home depot and you are aimlessly looking at floor tile just waiting for a friendly "May I help you choose a Dildo today, sir?"

But, insertables aside I get all my fun, fun stuff at www.ExtremeRestraints.com and www.FortTroft.com

zobar writes at 07:22:59 08/15/07 - Comment #22364: 1&2: As far as I can tell, the Porn District is on Elmwood Ave between Amherst & Hertel: not prime real estate. I have not seen any sex shops anywhere else - certainly nothing along the lines of a Babeland :::link::: . There is a relatively new local company called manache :::link::: ['muh-nash' not 'man-ache'] which I believe is all mail order and tupperware party.

Will I be a bills fan again?

Okay so ten years ago I moved from the Thousand Islands in waaaay upstate NY to New Paltz, NY in order to go to college.
this move marks the time in which i severed all relations to the Buffalo Bills.

I went from knowing everything to knowing nothing. I came from the era of Bruce Smith, Thurman Thomas, Jim Kelly, Lofton, Reich, Tasker, Hull, etc... man... those were the days that i thought the world was ending on a byweek. I was left elated, and deflated every sunday and the occasional monday...

then... nothing... i didn't even watch football. i might have even forgotten how the whole thing worked... even if i wanted to watch football, i would have been surrounded by giants and jets fans. my heart wasn't in it.
well now here i am... in buffalo. what a perfect opportunity to regain my interest in football, right? relearn all the players? watch every game and maybe even GO to one? oh what a concept!

only problem is that lauren hates sports. Hates the competativeness of it all. (obviously this doesn't apply to when she plays frogger or scrabble)

so now i have to convince her that it is all in good fun. or i should just give up. she has already said she is more likely to get into hockey than football - but i don't care enough about hockey... so... only time will tell i guess...

fellyconnelly writes at 01:39:19 08/17/07 - Comment #22484: i know there was a coed frat - mostly was theater students and whatnot - lauren's bro was a member... but it did use greek letters so i'm not sure...

jenks writes at 08:16:33 08/15/07 - Comment #22373: totally off topic- but you do know anything about a coed fraternity in New Paltz? Apparently it doesn't have a greek name... I just know a friend was (is?) in this fraternity, and has a shirt that just says "new paltz alumni" which I thought was weird.

fellyconnelly writes at 05:48:09 08/15/07 - Comment #22360: and james - the Dungeon Masters rule may or may not have made more sense to me than I will ever let on.

fellyconnelly writes at 05:32:00 08/15/07 - Comment #22355: oooo this is gettin good!

but really lauren will be way too busy with school and books and whatnot... so - all the time in the world i get!

drew writes at 05:26:59 08/15/07 - Comment #22354: Hey, wait, Leetee totally slammed you, Drew, and you didn't get it.
And I have Gilmore Girls on DVD so I get Gilmore Girls time whenever, wherever...

janelle writes at 05:24:03 08/15/07 - Comment #22353: Oh, hell yeah, you're on the couch by yourself tonight, byatch!

jason writes at 03:46:16 08/15/07 - Comment #22352: Hahaha. Brilliant, Drew!

drew writes at 02:52:12 08/15/07 - Comment #22349: She agreed to the deal when we got married. It's not my fault she didn't realize the NFL would outlast some crappy-whiny-girl show.

Dang. Now I sleep alone tonight.

leetee writes at 02:49:39 08/15/07 - Comment #22348: psstt... (e:Drew), that deal you have with (e:Janelle) kinda bites. The Gilmore Girls had the final show in the spring. How fair is it you get to watch all new NOT re-run sports and all she gets is re-runs of the world's best show?!

drew writes at 02:37:12 08/15/07 - Comment #22347: Ditch lauren and watch football. (E:Janelle) and I have a deal--she gets to watch Gilmore Girls and I get to watch football. Maybe Lauren would like to watch some old gilmore girls DVD's with her, and we can watch football. (Although I like watching the Steelers more, I plan to keep up with the Bills since I am a Buffalo guy now.

james writes at 02:03:49 08/15/07 - Comment #22346: There has been a few changes to the game since you left. For your benefit I will list and describe them below:

The 40-yard rule: If the ball is within 40-yards of the opponents goal, it is considered off-sides and control of the ball is given to the other team.

Never too late for sandwiches rule: In the event that the highest paying endorsement by any member of the home team is exceeded by the guest team that member of the guest team will provide endorsement for a local eating establishment, free of charge.

Dungeon Master's rule: if referees cannot come to an agreement a single member of each time will do combat with a Dungeons & Dragons character each wearing banded armor and caring a 1D6 long sword. No saving throws for acid damage.

jason writes at 01:45:15 08/15/07 - Comment #22342: Both sports have their merits. Both force the athlete to make some very, very quick decisions. Both have hard hits. With football you have to deal with TV breaks every damn 30 seconds. With hockey that is not the case.

If you do go back to the Bills, I give you credit!

lauren writes at 01:40:20 08/15/07 - Comment #22340: Uhhhhhhh. Football sucks.

all i want for christmas

I want a 42" tall rectangular pub table.

due to the excessive height of our stools
we need a tall table.
it needs to be long and narrow to fit into the area that we need it to fit into.

if anyone has one of these laying around... well you just let me know.
thanks
