Taste of Buffalo

· · 🌡️ 78°F

Buffalo just tastes good.

Seriously, I love this freakin' festival. I eat until I fell like I am going to puke and I get to try all kinds of new stuff and old favorites. I was full and had left over tickets with only $20. I know if went with @hodown or @mike I would have eaten about $40 worth of tickets.

Before I left I debated whether to wear flipflops or shoes with shorts. I think flipflops looked better but I didn't want to get stepped on so instead I wore shoes. My feet look huge when I wear shorts with shoes but nowadays, I just embrace the dorkiness.

Avon was there delivering some message about woman getting beaten.

I think they wanted them to cover up the problem or to get them and their men to "makeup"?

There was lots 80s songs and even some 90s ones. @matthew notices that early 90s might be starting to come back. Thank god, I am ready for the eighties to go away again. It's really weird to think that 1980 is as far away now as 1960 was in 1986. Remember the 60s nostalgia then followed byt he 70s and most recently 80s nostalgia.



Crawfish just taste good. I am so satisfied ripping their heads off and eating the meat from the tail.

Pigskins. I think this is new this year. It is deep fried potato skins loaded with pulled pork and covered in nacho cheese.

There is this mirror on bada-bing on chippewa that makes me look tough. e:matt and @terry too - it adds about 30 lbs

This is a pic of Lance Diamond entertaining us. He kept singing love songs and replacing the woman in the songs with Buffalo itself. You got to love Lance Diamond. Notice the vote for Nader 96 sticker which leads me to believe if I order real estrip.org bumper stickers and put them up everywhere, no one will ever remove them.

    I love tasting buffalo!!! How did I miss the pigskin thing? That looks amazing. I too only spent $25 and had tickets left over, quite a decline from last years mass quantities of eating. I forgot to give my extra tickets away so maybe I should make a quick stop back there tomorow. I usually go twice a year and so who knows...

    I love that girl in the pink shirt dancing to Lance Diamond.
    And paul if you get really brave you should try sucking the heads of the crawfish. Sounds gross I know, but it's good.

    I have to quote this now so that I am the first to quote it.

    "but nowadays, I just embrace the dorkiness."

    Where was the beef on weck? The wings? We had a good time, and all the food tasted delicious to me except for a chilled melon soup monstronsity. Melon and basil do not work well together under any circumstances.
