Buffalo bike party

Last night (e:terry) and I went on the Buffalo bike party. It was super cold but Henry brought hot cider.

We started off at Colonial Circle and went downtown to Lafayette Square. It looks way good since they stopped having the square there.

After that the ride picked up again and headed up to Resurgence. It really smelled like the Black Rock Canal was farting outside, but no one seemed to notice on the patio. The space itself was really cool though and the beer was good. $6.50 a pop though. The ride kept going to Rohall's but Lloyd's was calling us.






Excited Terry!

Franklin demolition

The old artvoice/photography/naked party building near Franklin and Allen is knocked down after being boarded up for so long. (e:terry) and I really want to go in and explore - there's a entrance into the basement where they already knocked down the front building.

Supposedly it's going to be redeveloped into a new mixed used building. If it's just a parking lot I'm gonna go fucking insane.

New Tortoise home

(e:paul) built Basra a new home for the winter. (e:terry) and I helped him set it up - this time we had $300 worth of rubber matting so he doesn't scratch the floor.



I still feel bad for him - he should be in Arizona or something, not a tiny room in Buffalo for eight months. If we find him a new home, we should get a hibernating tortoise. You can put this Greek tortoise in the fridge during the winter and he'll hibernate for months.



If Paul weren't allergic, I'd really want a guinea pig/meerschwienchen! They're so much cuddlier than tortoises.

Block Club night

The block club party was real fun. Lindsay was back in town. Sloppy night but a good time.

Big Lots

We stopped with (e:mike) at Big Lots on the way home. Stores like this full of disposable junk make me want to throw up just being in then. I feel like everything here is made to sit in a house for a year before ending up in the landfill.

(E:tinypliny) I heard about your 100 things rule and going here makes me want to live by that.


a plastic hot dog boiler.

Paul wanted a new iron, with a self cleaning mode. New and improved.

Lost cheese

Looks like someone lost their groceries. "Cheese" slices sprinkled down the street and a jar of peanut butter. How disappointed would you be if you got home and lost your but butter and cheese? If it belongs to you, you better run and get it.

On the way there (e:Paul) got us stuck talking to the best singer in Buffalo. Apparently he's better than Lance Diamond. He tried to serenade us with a song for money - but not before he started coughing up a lung into the street, Ebola style.

(E:mike), (e:Paul) and I went to Mezza for dinner before heading to (e:czarkasm)'s show at Millie's. We got some delicious Lebanese food - the best falafel I've had in a while.

Presque Isle park

If you want to swim down south, skip Holiday Valley and go straight to Erie. I've never seen such clear water in the lake before. We tried to go to Holiday Valley first but it wasn't great, so we drove another hour and half to Presque Isle in Erie


The holiday valley mud pit

(e:paul) despairing about having to drive more



The water was freezing but I dove in anyway. I couldn't stay very long though.


Sunning ourselves like Basra


Eventually the sun went away and it was too cold to swim again.

So we explored the isle a little more. Here was the Venice of Erie, scrody water included. All the little shacks had boats to go out to them.

Goz Gozah

After the gorge, (e:yesthatcasey) and (e:paul) went on a bromantic date to Oshun. After they got back, Paul passed out and Casey went home.

(e:Terry) and I went to Dana's Goz Gozah dance party at Milkie's. I thought it was going to be lame because of the location and music last time but it ended up being really good.

When we got there, an girl dressed like America went showed off her flag covered nips.

The music was electronic/jungle-y for most of the time. (e:steve) joined us and we all danced our little tails off.

Fall hike at the gorge

(e:yesthatcasey) joined us for a hike in the falls. I know it still might be warm for a while but with leaves changing, it felt like the beginning of fall.

We say these jet skiers on the rapids. I couldn't believe they just flew over them like the jetboat but they did.

Almost made to the to the ol' Devil's Hole, but it stank a little too much that day.






Someone was camping out by the river

Emily's new apartment

Friday night after the Theater drama, (e:Paul) and I headed over to Emily's new apartment. It's a super swank attic place near Elmwood.





Candles keep it classy


Her Jade plants are pretty sweet too.


Carrie and Catherine were there too. We found out Paul's Gear knows what vajazzling is.

Two bottles of wine in, Paul and I went off to Marcella's.


Mike's former arch-enemy was performing. Maybe it was the lack of Gloria, but I wasn't really feeling it.

After Marcella's, we marched on to Cathode. We made a couple new friends, and invited a bunch of people to the Halloween party.
