Yesterday I went to Inked at the Buffalo Museum of Science with (e:Paul), (e:Terry), (e:xandra) and (e:Heidi). Although I got there late and only for the second speaker, it had to have been the lamest $10 I have spent in a while.

The second speaker was a PA from Southgate Medical Group. Her whole talk went about 25 minutes, 20 of which were her emphasizing how many people want their partner's old name removed. The remainder could be summarized in a brochure as (e:Paul) said, or something you could have learned within 2 minutes on wikipedia.

The whole thing felt like an advertisement for her clinic, so I really hope they paid to sponsor the museum rather than the other way around.

It would have been awesome if they managed to have a dermatologist, researcher, laser engineer or someone who could have delivered a little more content. Definitely was disappointing.

The price of admission also included the Body Worlds exhibit. It was short and kind of weird, like an artsy anatomy lab. I wish I had been able to take pictures. Apparently (e:Paul) says the bodies are taken from Chinese prisoners, which makes me pretty uncomfortable. It's weird to think that these people died, were plasticized and filleted up, then posed up to be fencing or whatever.

The rest of the museum was the same as always. I don't remember anything changing in my lifetime besides the temporary exhibits - I wonder when most of these were set up?





FInished up the night right by trying out Dominion, and frying up vegetables and soup. Dominion was okay, I didn't have the attention span last night - I'll have to try again. The vegetables and soup/falafels were amazing though.
