The dyson Hand drier

Has anyone seen the dyson hand drier at pearl street? It's so freakin
high power just like the vacuums.

Octopus at kosta's is still tasty

I am pleased that the octopus remains on the kosta's menu. I wish
they still had the fresh calamari with roasted red peppers. For some
reason it went away in favor of fried calamari.

Fun burn and crab cakes

(e:James) and I hit Bennett beach for the first time this summer and
while it's not half as fun on a windless/waveless day, it was still
pretty awesome. I got sun burned for the first time in years although
it's pretty mild and just on the top of my chest. It seems like
wherever there is hair I don't burn and there is hair just about
everywhere.

The reason I look so crazy in this pic is because I was trying to
press my sun burn and show the white finger marks but it was almost
impossible to time with the iPhone camera. You can still see four white finger marks on my upper chest.

Afterwords, we ate at Dug's Dive on route five right near downtown but on the other side if the skyway. The seafood selection was amazing.

I want to go back asap. We both had crabcake burgers and then split a side order of butter topped with sweet potato fries, lol. I uploaded
some menu snapshots but sadly forgot to take pics of the actual food. I saw someone eating clams and they looked so good.

After that dinner we went to matt sisters birthday at pearl street and
ate another dinner and drank lots of beer.

Then it's one more stressful day of work followed by a bunch of day's
off while terry's mom is visiting.

Lame Al

When I first saw this on the subway last night, i thought, what kind
of business person would name themselves lame al. Then I realized it
was Spanish.

The subway ride home from the fireworks was crazy, there were like 50
million people on the packed train.

Great night on the town

Last night I went out with (e:jim) and (e:james) and forgot to take any pictures.

We went out on Allen where we met a bunch of interesting people including a girl who was friends with (e:enknot) and megan and who had no pet furry animals. To everyone else that probably seems like no big deal but in the last ten years I have met maybe 1 or 2 people that have no furry pets, which I am terribly allergic to.

I think the best part of the evening was grilling steaks at like 3:00am instead of going to Jim's steak out. The only thing was the grill decided to run out of gas part way through, which sucked. Thank god for the broiler although we enjoyed it deliciously pink anyways. This picture is not of our steak but of a steak with a very similar look I stole from

Warcraft style beer

This picture was from the back of the beer Delivery truck near kunis.
(e:enknot) mentioned it looked like a Warcraft ad for beer which I
though would be perfect for (e:Terry)

Luka and the email

You've received email via estrip.org

m(o_o)m

hey, maybe we got off on the wrong foot. I understand I may come accross as unlikeable, however, I believe blogging is speaking about whats on my mind and I share a lot and I like to blog a lot, its very theraputic to me.
I find your site a good outlet for me and I find it easy. A friend told me about it. If at any point you would rather not have me on your site, I can understand.

All the best,
Kind Regards
Luka Magnotta :)

m(o_o)m

Hey Luka,
Glad you responded.

I just thought you were a robot and that made me angry. Well that and to be perfectly honest, the thought that you might have been a scientologist bot, which would be my personal antichrist.. I am sure they are not all bad, but I had a run in with a couple bad ones here in Buffalo.

Some of my nastier comments were just trying to get you to respond. I'll try and be nicer now that I know you are a real person.

I worked really hard to make estrip a totally non-commercial, local gathering-space. For about 6 years now we have remained kind of off the radar and a pretty small close knit community. My fear is that an influx of internet outsiders would ruin the small community vibe that the members go there for.

I guess once you start interacting with people they will probably like you a lot more. Its not like facebook or myspace where there are cliques and friend's lists, etc. Everyone is in one big group and they all pretty much read and comment on each others journal.

Who is your friend that suggested estrip. I am so curious?

I am going to post this so they everyone knows what's up.
Paul

jenks writes at 08:48:09 07/03/09 - Comment #49663: I may be seeing this too late, but yeah- I think DT commented on one of his first posts, something like "eric, hey dude, what are you doing here?"

And- who is bill?

hodown writes at 11:06:00 07/02/09 - Comment #49656: OMG controversy. I agree with Bill though. And when you google Luka alot of his posts are the same on every blogging site. No original content.

Basically until Luka posts something non douche tastic I will remain steadfast in my belief that he is one of the most irrelevant humans I've ever become aware of (kinda like the Wal-mart version of Julia Allison).

tinypliny writes at 09:55:15 07/02/09 - Comment #49654: You know what? He did say he is coming to the Casino this month. Maybe all of us should take him up on his invitation and lay this question to rest once and for all.

Luka, if you are seeing this, tell us when you will be here. I have not yet seen the Niagara falls and would really like an excuse to come to Niagara City, the casino and the falls when you are here.

uncutsaniflush writes at 09:39:06 07/02/09 - Comment #49653: Personally, I'm still not convinced that Luka is a "real" person. Historically, I've known collectives who could and did invent "real" personas mostly just to say they could. When necessary, one of the collective would "be" the persona as needed for more direct communications.

The motives were usually not malicious. It was more social experimenting and proof of concept (or probably more accurately "proof of conceit") than anything else.

To the best of my knowledge, no one I know is responsible for Luka.

bill writes at 01:00:35 07/02/09 - Comment #49644: Paul...I think Luka is a conceited a**hole with an EXTREMELY poor attitude towards other people who are not as "beautiful" as he is. And, frankly...I don't think he's all that 'hot'...and I'm sure there are others who think the same...he's definitely not everyone's "type". So...in my opinion...just delete him!!! Estrip will be better off without him!

tinypliny writes at 02:05:15 07/02/09 - Comment #49627: That is really nice. I am really sorry if I poked you hard enough to provoke a response, Luka. But hey, it worked. ;)
