camp fire? Bon fire ? Can Fire?

· · 🌡️ 83°F

On my way to work yesterday I saw something interesting that I forgot to post about. In downtown Buffalo outside the convention center between city hall and the square there was what looked like a fire. It was early and dark still maybe aroun 5:20 Am . There where a bunch of chairs and some people sitting around from what I could bearly see what kinda looked like a garbage can and you could kinda see light coming out from it. At that time in the morning I am sure as hell not going to go up and say "hi I'm on my way to work what is going on here?" Then there where a few people also standing around near the bushes. This morning I was late for work that got me downtown about an hour later (i lost and hour somehow this morning) so say about 6:20am and there where people sitting on nice folding silver chairs. Then there where a few people sitting on the steps that lead up to the convention center doors on the second floor. I was wondering if some people who live downtown get to gather in some communel event. It is warm out so it isn't homeless people staying warm. If it was where would they have gotten the matching (at least from a distance) chairs. So now I'm thinking maybe it is people who work at the convention center. For things like this Is why I wish I had a cell phone i would have loved to take a picture (not sure how it would come out) then load it up to (e:strip). If anyone knows what is going On it would be cool to know. I have no idea if they will be there on wendsay but maybe anyone is still up and has nothing better to do go see if they are there.

    somebody lit one of those plastic garbage cans down they have down on Niagara St on fire a few months ago.

    The next day it was all melty and distorted

    I'm wondering if it isn't a union thing. There is a group by the construction on Delaware near Channel 2. There is always the bon fire in the barrel and stuff like that. Usually somebody is passing out leaflets, stuff like that.

    I will admit the union things sounds like a stong possibilty. No one was there today and there tent like booth thing that looks like the tents at the art festival was gone. But there was still something up against the wall, but maybe that thing what ever it is has allways been there. If people ever come back I will try to post about it, but who knows.
