But I think I can answer those two questions? First of all I think that it is sad that MIA only got 1 day and had to leave the city and compared to other years I know it won't be as good. But I don't think it will be sad there I'm going to go and try to have a good time. I think the people at MIA know that all day music and art is way to intense for the People of Buffalo. Most people here won't go to something for an entire day. I also think that they know that a lot of the bands people don't know. They also know that people won't come in to the city 2 days in a row just for their festival. But if you are near another festival or event then people at that event can visit yours and people can go back and forth. The reason I know in my mind that this is true is that MIA could have had their festival any weekend during the summer but they pick the weekend of "The Art Fest". So they where piggy backing off "The art Fest". I know they would say that isn't true but I don't believe them. If Robie wanted to he could have a two day fest this weekend and people would show up for it. But when I couldn't take the heat anymore I would go home for a few hours and come back. But see I live in the Niehboorhood most people once they leave won't come back unless they live near by. also when you are at the same time as another festival and close by people find you without looking and that means you need less advertising. That is my theory at least. I also wonder if he thought that the city might not give him the permits they needed at another time during the summer. I think for this year the Fair is the right way to go and hope that something in Buffalo for 2 days can be worked out for next year and I also hope they raise lots of money. I don't have answers for any of your other questions.

and do you mean to say that I should add DiTondo's and Bocce's in your recommendations for best pizza?
