Wing fest 2009

· · 🌡️ 71°F

Hope everyone who went on Saturday and Goes today has a great time. I also hope they give a Donation to MIA and the Firefighters they are both great causes.

That being said I don't know if these guys take money or what there deal is. I don't think it is a protest I think they are trying to give there Message.

There are so many kinds of wings that it is tough to decide what kind to try. It is also important to me at least that just because two places have the same type of wing they may taste different.

I think I Need to Touch on those ladies in the Ref tops. First of all I think they where all, pretty hot. The ones had huge amazing boobs they where looking pretty nice. I think they worked for one of the places since there was a name on the shirts. I never did walk in a way that we where face to face that would have made a great shot but I never got it.

One place as above shows that I had to try was Quaker Steak and Lube. Hey the girls there where pretty cute. Not sure if I got the Ranch or The Arizona Ranch but it was very good and had a white sauce on it. Well (assuming anyone is reading this) are some more shots.

I made Sure to get up close so I could see the Chicken wing Eating Championship. There was a lot of media there and I'm in a couple pictures on facebook along with the rest of the crowd. Before the event started you can see some of the Eaters like Sonya "The Black Widow" Thomas and back there with them is Robby Takac, he didn't compete.

I also Like how everyone who competes gets their own intro. I few times the MC of the thing had to cut off the music guy so he could finish we was really good.

The Guy with the White shirt is from the Buffalo Area Jim Reeves I think his name is. The Big Black Guy Is "badlands Booker" and then They say Sonya "The Black Widow " Thomas is the underdog. Well let the eating begin.

One Question I have is how do you decide who wins? Remember when you where a kid and some kid claimed he ate all these wings. But you take a look and his wings are tiny. Or what happens is that he doesn't pop the bones apart so there is all this meet left on them. Well because of this the way it works is that each tray weighs so much and after the 12 minutes they go and weigh how much is left and subtract it out. I'm not a judge so Not sure if that is how it really works. Ok here is your winner, that I'm guessing (assuming some one is reading this) you all ready heard about.

So Last Year I missed the Miss Buffalo wing Contest so I don't know how it went. But the Year before was great they had tasting and questions and a lovely lady won who worked at the Anchor Bar not sure how she spelled her name it was like Luchetta. But this year is was more of a beauty contest with the winner becoming miss buffalo and being sponsered by the wing fest. It was a great time anyways that will be the next post.

Day 2 Elmwood Festival of the arts

· · 🌡️ 67°F

I've been keeping up on my reading of (e:strip) but not my posting. Maybe before the weekend is over I will have some pictures from The Buffalo Chicken Wing Festival. I do have a question a long time ago I saw a flyer for something called "Wing Stock" did this replace this or did they go under.

So On the second day of Elmwood Festival of the arts I watched a bunch of Dancing. I admit pictures of Dancing don't tell the tale very well. You kinda have to see the entire thing. The 3 companies I saw where all pretty good. I wish I could remember the name of the one company that had some humor. They had like people yelling and other things and had a girl cary a guy they where very good. Well not sure how many pictures will go up but here are some of them.

Lovely out fits aren't they? But before I forget there is something that I need to talk about. When I first got there to watch the dancers Sam Hoyt was there with a dog and a bunch of people had dogs over on the grass. Now some people might say so what. He wasn't there with a sign he wasn't there with some oh come meet me a big fucking shot, oh look at me I'm Special like how like say Chuck Shummer does, he was there just as a regular person. I think if more people in Public Office did this things might be a lot better. This goes for peoples ideas who you like and don't like, when you go someplace go as your self you don't need TV cameras and big signs that is the same way Mayor Brown (yes he had a bunch of people with him) did it at the Garden walk and he waited in line on "Little" Summer just like everyone else. That is how he should have handled the East Side Shooting rash. Just Show up as your self and be a man, don't do the lets show up for 5 minutes and look good for the cameras. Ok back to pictures again.

In Terms of the art (assuming anyone made it this far or at all) that is Drew Morrison (not sure if that is how he spells it) the one with the wood frame is the one I bought I have two others above it but you can only see the one here. I don't know what I like about his art but I like it.

Elmwood Festival of Arts Sat.

Hanging with @vincent was a good time and looking at art and people watching.

It is hard to explain how that Peanut Butter cup Smoothie tasted it was both great and odd all at the same time but very good.

As We where moving towards the Village Area we saw Shoe fly


image
I'm still not sure what happened 100% but I felt a big Umph on my back not sure if it was someone or one of the legs on that tent. I was fine but @vincent went down for the count, If the Camera was still open I may have got a picture of it but it happened so fast and some other lady hit her head. Hear are some pictures of the after math.

So There was Micheal Meldrum performing and he had a couple people up there with him and then they performed by themselves and had him help them out so here are a few shots of them. I think the one chick was pretty Hot.

Even with the Tent thing it was still a good time. On our ways home @vincent stopped to help some people park, that was awesome, you could tell they where really having a tough time.
