Yesterday was a day of 1st's

First of all for those who read previous posts It was the first time I saw a Disney 3D movie. I have seen 3D before but it was oh so long ago with one red and one blue side of the glasses.

(e:Theecarey) Had a great idea of going out and I'm glad I did. In terms of (e:peeps) there was (e:Jim) , (e:James) , (e:Mrmike), (e:Vincent) , (e:terry), (e:Paul), (e:Matthew), (e:Mike) and (e:Libertad) and then a few more people also. The Food later on and drinks and everything was a great time and it was great to see everyone out, that should be done more often. I had to start with a Strawberry Banana Martini it was very tasty and then (e:Theecarey)'s "Dirty Navel" looked so tasty and it was kinda chocolate taste to it.

It was the first (e:strip) event that I didn't really document. It was dark and such and didn't want to blind anyone. Here is the take on the bars.

Fugazi get a bigger sign then just a billboard out front I missed it. But maybe that is the point that you have to know where it is so no one goes in to the wrong place by mistake. Great tasting drinks by the way. I love the wood inside it makes it feel like an old time bar you would see in a movie or something. It would be great to film a vampire movie there just where the lights where add candles it looks like those used to be gas lights at one time.

Cathoderey : I don't get the entire buy a drink then get a chip for another free thing, thanks to the person who explained it to me. Well I guess it is a way to handle money less and if you don't want to buy someone a drink you can hand them the chip. Love the huge TV in the Sabres area wish I had a TV like that.

Frizzy's awesome lots of gorgeous ladies, plus they have bubble hockey, I need to go back there sometime again.

Thanks to all it was a great night

I also really love that Gwen Staffani video she and the Asian Girls in her band or are they just dancers are so hot. She makes good music but it is so different then no doubt (they are back together but haven't heard any of their new stuff yet).

vincent writes at 09:28:37 11/09/09 - Comment #52734: Don't forget the trippy Madonna Disco Dance number from the confessions tour.

heidi writes at 10:26:08 11/08/09 - Comment #52723: Yes, they're color-coded by type of drink/price level - bottle beer, (draft beer at most bars), cheap mixed drink, expensive mixed drink. I have a collection of them from bars in Tioga County. They're kinda like whuffie.

You just use them instead of paying for a drink, placing them next to your empty bottle or glass.

metalpeter writes at 02:14:30 11/08/09 - Comment #52721: I didn't know they had black ones I saw red and blue and that was it. I assume that based on price that they have a rank and you can use the chip or anything that rank or lower but not higher ? Not really sure. Or maybe their is no rank and it is just a way to say mixed, bottle, or beer on tap?

There is one thing I have to get out there. One thing I'm not used to is hearing music from a speaker and then it goes to the video that is playing. I'm used to it coming from the TV but once I adjusted it was cool. I also notice that at Fugazi there where a lot of hot ladies in vidoes, Yes I love Britney and Lady GaGa at least looks wise and like some of there music, I can admit that. I would tottaly do Lady GaGa. Not sure if Russell Brand (or is it brandt) started the rumor or just repeated that she has a cock. If I where given the chance to do her I would for sure and if she did have one I'm sure with her hotness and fame things would work out fine.

Again it was a great time, thanks again to everyone and hope everyone else had a nice time. Ok I gotta go I need football.

mike writes at 12:35:07 11/08/09 - Comment #52720: though i have a back collectio nof about 1,000 chips cuz i never really know how to use them!I have every color, maybe i could combine mine with (e:pmts) abundance of chips and just rent the bar out one night with them?

libertad writes at 11:26:36 11/08/09 - Comment #52714: The chip thing is how Cathode stays competitive. People love the chips. Mike and I don't get one though cause we order our drinks together.

(3rd post) Wedding Reception

First of all anyone who has read or looked at my pictures feel free to take them and post them on your site or your page or your facebook. I haven't put any really up there for 2 reasons. Facebook is more about someone presenting a certain picture of them selves often, I don't mean that in a bad way. So I didn't want to post any pictures up there that someone might not like of them selves. The other issue was I wasn't sure of the quality issue. Maybe those two are really one issue. But in facebook I wouldn't want to put a picture up that looks dark on someone's page. I think all of these pictures are going to look odd but some of them came out pretty good printed so on here I'm going to kinda guess and see what we get.

Well Time Wise that is it. Hoping going out tonight will be a great time.

Pain For Pleasure (2nd of day)

First of all this is not in music because the Band Pain for Pleasure isn't what I'm talking about. For those that don't know they are the alter ego's of the band Sum 41.

I'm not going to sit here and say I love pain, that would be a lie. Lots of pain like most people I hate. But that being said there is some that feels pretty good in the right amount. Me being a whimp it isn't a lot. Not going to say what I like and don't like again a lot of that is biased on what and how what is done. I'm also not going to lie and say "I'm In The life Style" Or "I'm In the Scene" that wouldn't be true either.

From what I understand a lot of the really fun stuff all has some kind of restrenat or tie up aspect to it. Yes that is pretty hot to see. But I have lots of trust issues. As much fun as it would be to go to some bar and tell some chick "hey you look pretty hot why don't you tie me to your bed and use me for what ever you want". First of all that wouldn't be safe when she forgets to mention the boy friend or that she is behind on the rent, HA. Second I don't even have enough of that trust for someone I kinda know I don't think.

This post sounded better in my head. What got me thinking about this was this morning I remembered that Dark Parties is coming to Club Diablo on Thanksgiving Eve. I missed them the last time they where here but I want to make sure I go this time. At the very least I can have a few and get a little shit faced (I don't mean fecalphalie aka shit play, not sure what it is and don't want to find out, gross). I'm still not sure how the day before thanksgiving got turned into a giant drinking holiday, you would think you don't want to be hung over on thanksgiving but maybe people drink a lot that day also so they don't notice it.

I some how feel that I didn't say what I want to but not sure where I went off the mark, hope everyone has had and continues to have a great weekend.

Christmas Carol 3D

So I went to see the Newest Version of "A Christmas Carol" today. The way I see it most people know the story allready so what it comes down to is presentation. I think the movie looked amazing. I think Jim Carey did a great job. I think Scroge looked like himself through the entire movie. Now interms of effects I thought they where truely very good. In Terms of the 3D aspect I'm not really sure. The last time I saw 3D was that Micheal Jackson movie at epcot center and there stuff looked like it was coming off the screen at you. But thinking back I don't think there was any scene where the stuff was coming out towards you the viewer. I think the horses where amazing, maybe part of that scene. But since I didn't see it in regular vision I can't say how it looked. Back in the old days of two color glasses I did have trouble seeing some 3D stuff so maybe part of it is me, not sure. Yes the 3D version is a little bit more. Before the movie the previews for Avatar, and Alice In Wonderland both looik amazing. After the movie I got some stuff at target I maybe should have bought the deluxe version of Caroline that comes with 3D Glasses but one thing that stoped was I wonder how the 3D worlks on a TV screen or if you really need an HD TV or atleast a large screen, I should have got in anyways. Back to the movie I give it 2 thumbs up.

Pre Timika & Rory Wedding

Well this first thing of Pictures is going to be of me before (e:ladycroft) and (e:Rory)'s wedding. Yes these pictures have been croped.

Before the wedding I checked out the area and got some shots of the gardens, and the Basicillica and things like that here are those pictures.

I'll admit that I wasn't sure where to cut it off as prewedding pictures but I think this is a good spot. It was a good time and the gardens looked nice. Hope people like the pictures

2009 Halloween Party part 2

Well Hopefully I don't double any photos from the last post I see where I kinda left off. Again it was a great time and thanks to (e:PMT). I really liked Max from "Where The wild Things Are" I wanted to go as him but couldn't figure out how to really do that so I passed it is a good thing I passed.

I don't have an exact time other then to say that the pictures below are from once we crossed midnight and it was the next day.

Who ever had the Fire Idea had a great idea, but with my luck it started to rain. That reminds me I heard that some people went up on the roof did anyone get anypictures from up there?

Well I think that covers it hope everyone had a great time and enjoyed my pictures. And I thought someone else took a few but not sure who's haven't gone up yet.

Party Part 1 Halloween 2009

So Here is the thing some pictures are very dark some are good and some are a mix. Based on the small size I can't tell how they will look so I think I will just post them in order and hope I don't miss any. Hope people like them and that they are ok. I need to find the right setting to take pictures inside in dark settings, I think there is away to make the ISO level standard but I'm not sure if yet how to do that. I need to figure that out before when ever the next (e:strip) party is.

Not sure what my favorite costume was there where a bunch of good ones. I thought it was cleaer that Louis was with Peter who was dressed as I assumed Peter Pan but maybe I got that wrong. Then the Tower's as pirates was awesome.. It was a great time thanks to everyone who showed up and (e:PMT) for hosting it and changing the night so there was no wedding conflict.

One Of the tough things with having a ton of pictures is you are often not sure where to call it or cut the blog to start part 2 it is tough to tell how many you have up and how it will be viewed by others so for now this is the end of Part 1. Hope someone enjoys the pictures of someone.

metalpeter writes at 06:13:48 11/04/09 - Comment #52629: Well Part 2 is today. In terms of editing them I wish I had time. In the past I have tried with other software and what happens is some of them come out see able, but often what happens is the stuff with some light gets brighter but so does everything else and often there is just not enough light to enhance that.

libertad writes at 01:47:39 11/04/09 - Comment #52622: Nice party pics as always. We have been dying for their release. So much fun.

lilho writes at 09:18:37 11/04/09 - Comment #52607: (e:mike) and (e:paul) best costume and most naked. not surprised, but i liked it!

heidi writes at 07:55:01 11/03/09 - Comment #52602: I think Oscar the Grouch was one of my favs. Somehow I missed that (e:Mike)'s sun was actually colored yellow - in the foyer it just looked white with glitter! Much cooler in the kitchen.

I liked the Xmas subtheme - (e:enknot), (e:paul), (e:libertad), my random acquaintance Kristen, and extending it some to (e:zobar) and the gladiator.

heidi writes at 07:45:46 11/03/09 - Comment #52601: Thanks for taking pix, (e:Metalpeter)!

If you're using Picasa to export them in an appropriate size for estrip, you can also use it to edit before exporting. By double-clicking on any picture in the library, you open it to the editing screen. That lets you determine if it's a good enough picture, or maybe it needs some help like "fill light" which will lighten up the whole thing, or it's just crap and needs to be deleted. I delete nearly 50 percent of my shots, adjust some, and only post the best ones that really help illustrate the story I'm telling.

The "I'm feeling lucky" button will make a bunch of automatic adjustments that picasa thinks the picture might need. The nice thing about picasa is that it saves your changes and your original photos automatically so you don't lose anything by accident. There's also a very handy "undo" button in case you don't like what you changed.

I hope this helps!

Hallowedding Weekend

So I just wanted to quickly say thanks to (e:PMT) for having the Halloween Party and being great hosts and everyone who went and had a great time. Also thanks to everyone who worked on the wedding and the reception it was great. Also sorry to (e:vincent) that my tiredness caused me to not hang out I really should have. Also sorry I didn't get that all the (e:peeps) where going to be kinda in the same area at the wedding. That being said it was a great time. I will start adding pictures soon but do to lack of time I will just put up a couple that kinda cover the sentiment.

Couple of Notes the shoes are (e:leetee) and was it (e:Jason)'s or Josh's I can't remember. The Cake is Nightmare Before Christmas. Loved the movie theme of the tables. The Lady with me is Cindy and if memory serves correclty she is Keith Tower's women not sure if he has a page on her but I know his brother does. By the way great pirate costumes by the way by all 3 of them. Not sure what pictures I should post next? Hope everyone had a great Holiday weekend.

Fall Colors

First of all this has been and will be a crazy week. On Monday I went to wrestling. It was fun and crazy on the floor. It looks like my pictures came out dark so I'm not going to post them, I did a few on facebook and then gave up. Then coming up Friday is (e:strip) party, then Saturday is the wedding, wow that came fast. Then there is also the reception I'm really hopping that it will be a great time. I wonder if I will get any sleep at all? Well if you follow me on facebook you may have allready seen this pictures from around my neck of the woods. I wish I had time to like go to Hoyt lake and take pictures from other parts of the city but I don't.

I just hope the little bit of sickness I have is gone by then. Hey who knows maybe I can sleep all day Sunday, in any event it should get interesting, hope someone liked these pictures.
