Wahoo Mardi Gras

and: kibirashi is definitely closed

jason writes at 12:46:07 02/06/08 - Comment #31379: Kuni's is no longer next door to me - that's what I mean by loss.

janelle writes at 12:20:52 02/06/08 - Comment #31378: Loss of Kuni's? It's on Lexington.

jason writes at 12:11:55 02/06/08 - Comment #31376: Too bad about the Sushi bar, although it seems they just didn't have their shit together.

And the bagel place - when it was Manhattan Bagel I remember it being pretty popular. I used to go get a toasted bagel with lox.

Man, my block is barren now. Let's face it, after Kuni's went away, Buffalo didn't have an appetite for other sushi. I still mourn the loss of Kuni's.

I wonder what will go in Kibarashi's place? It is a pretty small property.

mrmike writes at 11:28:55 02/06/08 - Comment #31374: Wow, that parade was moving fast!!

Sorry to see the sushi place go under. Along with the bagel place, that block is starting to look a little desolate. Spot's expansion ain't going to counter that.

janelle writes at 08:09:55 02/06/08 - Comment #31363: kibirashi will always have a special place in my heart. It's the restaurant where we sat and ate dinner and decided to buy our house. It was an exciting night.

I'm sorry it's owned by a jerk.

leetee writes at 12:24:48 02/06/08 - Comment #31359: Alhough i hate to see another Elmwood strip business close, the guy that owns (owned?) kibirashi is a scumbag. I work with someone who USED to work for him as well. He stopped paying his staff and owes them, well, at least one employee, for 2 months of wages. Serves the bastard right.

Vote Tomorrow!

Primary day is tomorrow. Won't you feel better after you've voted? If you're a Democrat your voice is actually heard for once in the Presidential primary, since everything is still up in the air.

E:Strip Dinner: Feb 16 at 7pm

Saturday February 16th at 7pm is the proposed date for the next (e:strip) dinner, to be held at Casa-di-Pizza. This is the last call for changes/scheduling conflicts.

Last time we had 20+ people and it was lots of fun. I think the cost was around $9/each not including alcoholic drinks?

Some photos from a previous dinner:

metalpeter writes at 10:57:15 02/03/08 - Comment #31245: Wow how did I miss read that as 16 I thought it said 19th, that I could have made. I can't make it I'll be at a Bandits game but I hope all you have a great time. I figured I wouldn't be able to make it since I have 3 things in a row but I hope everyone else has a great time.

jim writes at 10:03:09 02/02/08 - Comment #31233: If we can't do it there I will find somewhere else I suppose.

mrmike writes at 09:28:45 02/02/08 - Comment #31232: Might be a little tough getting that room on a Saturday night, but what the hell....

lilho writes at 07:56:39 02/02/08 - Comment #31228: a ho is the only one who really knows how to get it done!

jim writes at 07:54:17 02/02/08 - Comment #31227: Thanks, Mike!

mrmike writes at 07:29:10 02/02/08 - Comment #31226: whatever

jim writes at 04:12:52 02/02/08 - Comment #31221: I'll change the date to the 16th, unless MrMike or metalpeter object?

drew writes at 04:05:17 02/02/08 - Comment #31220: Those are both better for me :)

jim writes at 04:04:32 02/02/08 - Comment #31219: The weekends are tougher, I'll have to see if I can reserve the side room, let me check it out and I'll post back here if we can switch it.

Is Sat 16th or Sun 17th good for everyone else?

lilho writes at 03:59:36 02/02/08 - Comment #31218: excuse me but, cant you have it like that weekend? i was one of the original members, and ill be in town the 15th-18th.

mrmike writes at 03:57:14 02/02/08 - Comment #31217: I'm in

jim writes at 03:25:20 02/02/08 - Comment #31216: Yeah, the 14th would have been kinda presumptuous of me :)

metalpeter writes at 03:16:15 02/02/08 - Comment #31215: It sounds Like I can make it and that it will be allot of fun. I think not having it on the actual day is a good idea. The reason is that some people might have something to do on "Vday".

Next: e:strip dinner, February Edition

I'm going to set up another (e:strip) dinner for the middle of February. Possibly anti-Valentine's Day themed!

Proposed dates and time are in the comments of this post.

Please post any scheduling conflicts or ideas for locations here, and I'll try to best select a date that is good for the most people and does not occur during a sporting event. Whew.

Chime in!

Glad to be home working today :P

Just as well I was at Roswell on Monday, it means I can hide inside today and work from home on my other project.

Now, just hoping the power stays up!

All Good Things

Well, I found out I have a full time contract position for almost twice as much money as I'm making now, not part time like I'd thought in my last post about buying a house.

Good news: I have a new awesome job doing Ruby stuff all day!

Bad news: I am abandoning everyone at Roswell :(
