So Yes the fair is still going on :) ... So I thought that I would post some pictures of the Animals of the Erie County Fair... Now of course this is only of the ones I saw... There is an entire competition ring where horses trot and do stuff like that ...That I didn't see....


Not sure what else I'll post maybe the parade ? with some of the pole climbing ?

Now the thing that is great about Fairs I assume the state fair is like this and even fairs that are different is that they have things for all different people.. There is the Fried Food, Games, Rides, shows, shopping (yes all kinds of cool things you can get), The Animals, Animal Events and grand stand events as well.... Um did I mention the food not just the deep fried stuff... Yes trying new stuff can be a bit scary cause it might not all be made the same... But here are a few pix.. Ok more then a few ....


That is Fried Kool Aid fruit punch flavor I think... Tastes just like cool aid very good :)

That is a Deep Fried Taco... It was pretty tasty....


Not sure if the trains or all the detail on all the buildings was cooler ok the buildings.. Only posted a few not sure if they really translate....


Yes the doughnut Burger ... I never did get it last year.. Tastes like a burger with a glazed doughnut it was tasty...


Ok I admit the last two foods are kinda odd... I had to try the Chocolate bacon.. Now it was good but strange it was kinda like a sauce and I like mine cooked more soft but that is just me... The other thing was good and odd and liked the dipping stuff but couldn't tell you the flavor.. Chicken Fried bacon... I wasn't brave enough to try the deep fried butter ... Bet it could have been great.....

So this weekend was the first weekend of The Erie County fair... It is going to have to be multiple posts... But I figured not just for @tinypliny but for anyone who does yoga these acrobats of course they are women so they do have a bit more flexabilty I could be wrong on that but I thought there was some way the pelvis lines up or something sorry can't remember in any event for now here is their performance.. sorry if the pictures look over exposed a bit...


In terms of the bending and body control stuff that above is the main part of it but they do so much more.....

So I admit I Haven't been infringing like I should..Part of that is the olympics and Social Media and work and the heat... Now this isn't part of infringement and again sorry for not posting pix up here of that yet... but if you are on facebook you can see them....But last night there where a few things going on wonder if they set the world record for Zombies at the ball park.. The reason I didn't go is that to get made up then go home on a bus.. Doesn't sound like a good idea.... Plus it sounded like they would be through out the ball park and not like in one area so... There was an art thing at 424 and Lloyd's but went with Skiffle....


I guess this Is a good time to mention two things... They are adding things like a big railing to sportman's I can't imagine the snow removal on that ... and also e:lindyfix was there dancing and will be in some pictures coming up.....


It was a great time.....

So with going out to Wham Bam Poetry Slam II and watching the olympics I only got a couple hours in at the garden walk... Now I will post pictures from that but gotta figure out the best way... I'm kinda thinking to do the Slide show thing since I have so many... But for now the garden walk.....


I've seen this house change so much on the outside it is a pretty rad looking place....


So I took pictures with my bigger camera and most of the time it can tell when the picture is the other way so hope that all those pictures are oriented the right way....


Well we shall see... I guess this is a good showing of what I saw...

So last weekend I didn't post about it but went to go see the new spiderman movie... It is the spiderman story everyone doesn't know about I know I didn't know much of it but it was pretty good.... Even Though I have never thought they had the exact fit for Peter Parker.. Yeah Tobie or is it Toby was good once I started watching fringe that that kid might have been better except he came of not really as a kid... I liked how in the last movie the did the hinting at the other goblin well guess that isn't happening...

When Batman Begins came out it was very good... I mention it cause they kinda restarted the franchise... Now maybe it was just in this mood I was in. But I thought Dark Night Rises was amazing... Can't give anything away other then that They linked the story lines together... There was just one part I didn't get but I think I understood not 100% sure... Walked in and walked out about 3 hours later :) I mean from the other movies... And they did some what I call wink and nod to future movies or at least story lines...Action Story I thought it was pretty amazing.... I said the mood thing so I'll mention it here... On the way to the show it hit me that one thing about being an adult is how some things lose being special.. Going to the movies is cool.. But as a kid it is like a treat you look forward to.. Oh mom can we get popcorn ..No we are eating after the movie...Things like that.. Yeah Doritos are cool but when you have a snack for every sporting event....

Now I have to mention Superman... Couple years ago they came out with what I thought was a good superman movie...Well not sure what happened to this guy but there is a new one out well new preview at least.. No idea if the Man of steel is a new take or remake or how you would call it....



That should be the one they showed .... I can't post trailers all day but I also think the next Tarantino movie could be great...



Now back to things at hand... I can't just post about this movie with out talking about the killings... Now both sides can make a point on gun control based on the mass shooting... Now what happened to the guy who knows... Maybe He really loved bane or is it bain or maybe he thinks that was a put down of the company :( ... Who knows but as much as I'm a Fan of the darknight one can see how in real life that villain does have a pull to him I could almost feel a bit of the occupy movement to the extreme in him... So for some people it was an unwanted real life real 3D event and that is to bad.... There is a part of me that thinks this could cause all kinds of security issues going forward.... That would be to bad at the 10:15 AM show I didn't notice anything... Did I mention how fun this movie was..Lots of yes moments but maybe that is just me....

So I don't know what to do picture wise of the home run derby I don't really think it would translate right as a blog really... Plus not sure if one could tell whom people really are so for now I'm skipping that :( oh well maybe I'll nah I won't i know I won't but who knows... But with the all star game I'm not really even sure whom the players are... I only watch the bisons so I'll start with the post game fire works that where donated ... Not sure how that works guess that gets the name out there of the fireworks company?


Fireworks where from last to first... The league the bisons aren't in won.. Guess I should do all the pageantry. Doug Allen guy who sings for sabres games sung both anthems....


Ok that is plenty it was a good time..... Even with all the people who wouldn't wait till a play stopped to get up or return to their seats... Odd game but fun....

I feel that no matter how many photos I post (Can't post one's I didn't take)that the atmosphere doesn't really translate.... You have people with sheets and blankets and tables and wine and it is bit crazy....... Well see how this does.....

Don't get me wrong sitting on the ground isn't to bad but I needed food and besides often what feels comfortable on the ground isn't when one gets up..........


I guess that shows it off pretty well.... I have to figure out what I want to do about the all star game that I went to on Wends and the Monday Home run derby......

So Instead of calling this photos I called it food.... Last night I ordered UFC on PPV and it was fun... I also got a Chicken, Cheeder, Bacon Pizza from Just pizza hence why I'm calling this food....



Now Granted it is a white Pizza and a Medium and UFC is Pretty long (3-4 hours) But I never thought I would only have 2 slices left and couldn't finish them so... Later tonight....

Now for the taste of Buffalo I'll just toss up the pix some of these Items where the small size I put $15 in and saw what I could get..When you don't buy drinks you get so much more......

Looks like pretty close in order.... Think I will edit the first one and call it food in category as well.... Monday is the Bisons Home run Derby, then Tuesday Is Skiffle at Bidwel or for you sports fan major league baseball's all star game.. So DVRing Covert Affairs line up...Then on Wens-day back to the ballpark for the all star game.. On Saturday I might go to a bar? could get interesting.....

So I did work a bit before I went to the taste of Buffalo and that not that they are work pictures but why I will post a couple sky shots...

I thought and yes it is still going on that there was some good stuff this year...Not lots of give aways but that varies year to year but love the food truck area..... Oh and just to be clear I've allways been pro food truck what I was anti was people who boycott a place cause they want laws that favor them... I also didn't get why people got all upset when lloyd's wanted a 2nd truck and people got all upset......


Couple of things When I went into New Era I went just to look around and not sure what all that math on the glass wall is and get out of the heat but saw an amazing old style looking raiders hat so had to buy it :)

Also Thanks @mrmike for the Dinosaur Idea they where good.... The Roast beef Sundae... Was it good yes... Was it as good as the 1st time I ever had it no... Somehow the Sundae dish keeps the things where they are supposed to be and not as mixed... I guess it is kinda like (wouldn't know) when you do a multiple layer drink the wrong way but it would still taste good?
