The Champagne Brunch

First of all I wanted to Thank (e:Drew) and (e:Janelle) for the invite to the Champagne Brunch. It was a really nice time. Sometimes it is weird to take pictures when there are people you don't know there.
Plus there was a lot of really good food.

On the way there I saw this place is going to open up. I wonder if it will stay open any longer then the other Asian Restaurants that opened there. Not sure if that is a bad spot for them or if they have been badly manged not really sure.

I have no pictures of anyone Drinking right out of the Bottle. I know some people look down on but I think it is ok. Slash Pulls it off Very Well and even though I have Never seen Absolutely Fabulous, (e:ladycroft) and (e:Theecarey) pulled it off pretty well before. I have done it my self before but not Like Slash Or Janis Joplin, it can be done with class and style. Hey and if there isn't much left someone needs to finish it off.

So here are the pictures , I can admit I had trouble with the light so some maybe blurry or fuzzy or have nasty shadows.

Sons Of Anarchy Tonight

So Tonight Is the Return of this show I like called The Sons Of Anarchy. I think it is a pretty good show. I've seen ads for it on the history Channel. Of course the one time it was on a show called Marked , it is a tattoo Show, this on e was about bike gangs. Then last night Gang land was about a biker gang , so the ads do make sense based on what was on at the time. I Have seen that Henry Rollins is going to be on this year, not sure if he will be like a regular or just on one episode. (side note why can I type faster then facebook can move?){I'm not really even fast}

But also Tonight is the return of 90210, and then Melrose Place gets to be a new show also. I admit last season I did watch some of 90210. It isn't as good as the old show. But how could it be it isn't the same thing really. What I can say is that Jenny Garth is still just as hot and doesn't even look any older, oh yeah. I guess I can try and watch Melrose place and see if it is any good. I never saw it before but we shall see but I won't be able to compare it to the original. But it is odd that 90210 is a CW Show, why not fox since I think they carried the old one, but maybe that is why. For those that may not know UPN and WB (warner brothers) combined and Made "The CW" They do have some shows that I might check out, like some new Vampire Show, But I have a feeling it may be on at the same time as something I all ready watch. That is what happened to 90210 It wound up being on at like the same time as like maybe House or Fringe or Bones, or Something along those lines.

This time of year is all ways kinda weird because you have shows coming back on. Then you have new shows. But they don't all start at the same time. For example Heroes starts in about 2 weeks, I love that show and think it is one of the best ones on TV. The point is that you really need to pay attention to when new shows come on and start up. This is also true since often shows switch nights.

Oh Yeah not to mention then You have Sports like Football and Baseball that will effect when shows come on. This is very true of Fox and sometimes it gets very confusing. Now most shows that I watch , I watch for the same reason people read: For the story. Yes the action and other things are part of it also. TV Wise this is an exciting and confusing time.

Miss Buffalo Wing Festival

So I started a post that I put in Draft mode in Internet Explorer but I can't find it using Safari. I couldn't upload any pictures no mater what I did I couldn't figure it out. But what I want to say before I post the pictures is that this year vs. two years ago when I last saw it things changed. The last time it was about wings and being pretty and you tasted wings and guessed hot,mild, med. and thing like that. This year there is one wing question followed by a Social Issues Question, the Winner is Miss Buffalo Wing for two days and then is Miss Buffalo and competes for Miss New York State and the Wing Festival is the Sponsor.

image

image

image

After the Intros they had some dancers and then went into the Talent portion I think it was all singing and dancing. I would have loved to see some one do impressions that would have been awesome but no luck, HA.



image

image

image

image

image

image

How Could I forget the St. Pualie Girl. She was amazing she talked about how knowing so many languages was a waste, and how the playmates where trying to look like her, it was a great time.


image

image

image

image

image

image

image

image

image

Now The Talent Portion



image

image

image

image

image

image

image

image

image

image

image

image

image

image

image

image

image

image

image

image

I think the dancers where called Center Stage Not 100% on that.


image

image

image

image

image

image

image

image

So then Next they Had the Evening wear portion and did the part where they asked them the two questions all in one. That then led to the presenting the awards to the runners up and the winners. You will notice the winner from last Year and That Sexy Beer Maden in those photos also.

Wing fest 2009

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.


image

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.



image

image

image

image

image

image

image

image

image

image

image

image

image

image

That Mojito Stuff is Very good, I had never even heard of it before but it sure went down nice. Well here are some more of the sites.



image

image

image

image

image

image

image

image

image

image

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.



image

image

image

image

image

image

image

image

image

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.



image

image

image

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.



image

image

image

image

image

image

image

image

image

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.



image

image

image

image

image

image

image

image

image

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.



image

image

image

image

image

image

image

image

image

image

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.



image

image

image

image

image

image

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

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.

On Saturday I went to go Pick out a New Suit, I like it and hope it will look ok on me, we shall see. On my way I made a quick trip through Elmwood Festival of the arts.



image

image

image

image

image

image

image

image

image

Well After I came Back I went back to the festival and had a good time. When I got Hungry I ran into (e:vincent) and we had a good time.


image

image

image

image

image

image

image

image

image

image

Hanging with (e:Vincent) was a good time and looking at art and people watching.

image

image

image

image

image

image

image

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 (e: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.



image

image

image

image

image

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.



image

image

image

image

image

image

image

image

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

image

image

Not sure how good of a story Teller I Am but I think you get the Jist

Technoir on Friday

So Many Blogs to write and so little time. Well the first one is of pictures from Diablo on Friday. I Really need my own computer or a laptop or something, that way I can up load pictures and download them and like watch TV at the same time. Hey Imagine if like some chick wanted me to take pictures and put them on some like site that allows nude or semi nudes when would I have the time? I don't have the time now and it is almost football season oh well. Had a great time Friday.

Ok I need a movie before true blood.

Friday ?

So I'm not sure what I will do Completely with my day off:

1. Sleep In, that will feel so good , I hope
2. Try to get a suit, not sure what I like but hoping I see something and it says that is the one
3. Want to get a movie in also I would love to see District 9 and maybe get in a second one also not really sure
4. I Pretty Sure I will Skip Wrestling and Bill Maher. I want to go check out Club Diablo for that TechNoir Fashion show. Going to try and drink and take pictures could get interesting. Not sure how well my camera works in a dark place and how to get good pictures yet.

Oh yeah it is the weekend for me, awesome. By the way this weekend is the Elmwood Festival Of The Arts or what ever it is called, I have to at least go On Saturday for some time, we shall see what goes down on Friday. I at the least have to get a Solar Smoothie oh it was so good last year. Last year I didn't get Lucky and see any great like random dancing come out of no where I think the Year before I caught a bunch of it though. Who knows maybe I'll even buy some art?

The Fair Animals

So since I have been going to the fair it usually Works out that there are a couple grand stand shows I want to see. Well this year that changed and when the Ultimate Night Of Destruction was I didn't think would work out. So I went to the fair again Yesterday. This time I took my pictures in a smaller size so I think they should up load I did a little test in my previous post. My Camera Battery didn't last the entire trip again it stopped during the Peeking Acrobats. When I got Home I watched two Pretty good movies on Cable. Max Payne was wild but a pretty good action movie with a story line. The next movie I got a little bit lost on but still really enjoyed RockNRolla it was a Guy Richie picture and even with being lost it was pretty good.

Well here are a bunch of pictures from what I saw at the Fair.

Well Just wanted to add that the Nickel City Exotics is I think the best deal. It is $1 and there are all those animals. Granted it isn't a show so you never know they might not be awake. When I first went in the Lemur was just relaxing and so was a couple other animals but they moved around some before I left. The Survle forget about that he or she was very relaxed but I'm pretty sure they hunt at night anyways so and the ring tailed lemur was sleeping to. In any event that part of the fair was pretty cool.

I just wish I could find a way to take a batch of pictures and resize them all but I can't so for now the ones on here from last week will have to do on my other post. Congrats if you made it to the bottom. Double congrats if you make it through my webshots photo album.
