Despite @jon's tale of friend gone dead on rocks I decided to go climbing today and brought e:southernyakee with me.

It's done and I survived this time.

Seriously, news channel 4 just did a special report about the "growing
trend of staycations."

There is a wikipedia page explaining staycation.

Despite the wind throwing lots of pear babies on the ground, it looks like we might have the most pears ever. This year I am just doing pots of juice and a pear themed party.

This one kicks the squirrel face's butt.

It's a little chilly on the porch so @mike is bundling in this cute
multi-print ensemble.

Nameless Bitch is going into women's boxing. She needed a name and I thought "Cornish Game Hen" is awesome because she is from cornwall and game hen's are great.

So for the first time in a long itme, I fired up illustrator and here is what I came up with.

The BBQ yesterday was awesome - @metalpeter #48749 has pics. We had a great mix of people. No one got too drunk for once and the food was delicious. In addition, we got to catch up with @leetee and @uncutsaniflush. My phone was dead for most of the day so I got no pictures ;( I think @metalpeter got a bunch.

@southernyankee arrived with an amazing fruit basket complete with mini-bananas, we had a bunch of cakes. Robert and James made delicious salads and some testy orange jello marshmallow suspension. @tinypliny made that cake from @tinypliny #48738 which I thought tasted great although I suggested she add bananas next time.

After the BBQ e:sounthernyankee, @mike and I went to Pure to go see Junkie XL The place is set up pretty nice with a large main dance floor bar, a catwalk on a second level overlooking that. There were also some side room VIP style bars.



I don't go out much downtown so maybe its normal but to me it was the most ethnically mixed buffalo moment I ever had. On the dance floor there was seriously every kind of person and they all appeared to be getting along. Arabs, indians (lots of them) asians, white, blacks. The even had a dance off competition that I thought was going to be a fight but ended up being them each taking turns and cheering each other on.

@mike and I went out to dinner at wasabi the other night. I thought it was exceptionally yummy but I think @mike was overwhelmed by a boat full of sashami as it was his first japanese cuisine experience. We ordered the love boat which I know seems funny but it was a good selection of fish for two and the price was reasonable. Because @mike didn't eat so much I ended up eating the equivalent of several small fishes worth of sashimi. I think it might have been the first time I was totally full on sashimi.

My mom gave me this pin the other day that I had gotten during my
childhood acting stint at the alleyway theater in downtown buffalo.
Does anyone else find it a little creepsterish.

I went out and bought a $20 floor scraping chisel. That plus my new mask makes me a lethal combo for the vinyl tiles.
