William Penn Omni - Statler

It was awesome. So glad we stayed there. I wish we could have drank or eaten at the bar but we were so busy the whole time hiking around the city. I would totally go back there. Its a perfectly central location.

Grovey Cleves At The Western New York Book Arts Center

We went to Mickey Harmon's Grovey Cleves art opening at the Western New York Book Arts Center on Friday. He had a voice actor reading excerpts from the book. Sadly we were a bit late.

I learned a bunch of interesting tidbits about the former president everyone talks about but no one seems to actually know anything about. The illustrations were playful and really drew you in. I am so jealous of his ability to bring his ideas to life with pen and paper.

My favorite piece was the shadowbox of Tumey Cleves, the hard palate tumor Glover had.

Not surprising, I was mega allergic to the gallery. I think I am literally allergic to books. I am so glad information has been digitalized. That being said, the art books look pretty cool and I just may return back to buy some gifts from the gallery shop.

(e:Robert) got me into cucumber sandwiches. I want to try cucumbers and waffles now.

Dancing at Wasteland

We went to wasteland for a dance party last night. It's been a while since we got to dance in a nice wearhouse space. The decor was awesome, the BYOB was awesome, the dancefloor was amazing, music was great. Jenn Kay is the best dancer.

Tons of people smoking cigarettes in an enclosed place with no venitallation, not awesome. Seriously, who does that. My jacket smells sick. My lungs hurt. It reminded me of the days when everyone was smoking at the pink or underground. I feel like a little tumor started last night. I hope they die.

Omni William Penn Hotel

(e:joe) and I are heading to Pittsburgh tomorrow for his sister's birthday. (e:terry) can't make it because he is sadly stuck in tax mire. I never stayed at an omni and really wanted to stay at the Omni William Penn

in downtime PA because it looks exactly like the statler on the outside but seems totally remodeled.

All the statler hotels look similar

This one was built in 1940 versus ours which was built in 1907. I also stayed at Hotel Pennsylania in New York with my tortoise Sahara in 1996. Our train was damaged traveling between South Carolina and New York, so they put us up there. I never realized till now that it was so much like the Statler. I remember thinking the inside lobby was so fancy at the time.

Here are pics from the Pittsburgh one, lets hope it lives up to the name.

Happy St Patricks Day

The parade was fun although cold. At least it was sunny and nice to have all the people around as blanket, kind of like a flock of penguins.

Despite all of the mega freakin tooth pain, I managed to have fun. I don't know how I am going to make it till April 11th if the pain is like this the whole time. (E:joe) asked if I needed anything, to which I responded, 'yes, a gun for my face.". Its really almost totally unbearable pain that you can't ignore.

Gluten Free Beer

I bought so many gluten free beers. I'm not sure why but I think all the years of avoiding gluten with (e:Matthew) lessened my ability to digest it. Anyways, they have really come a long way since the sorghum, rice beers. These new ones are just regular beer with all the gluten removed. Kind of like the lactaid milk of beer.

Washington Market

Went to Washington Market with (e:heidi) and (e:terry) for lunch. They really stepped it up with a new chef. The fish with rice was amazing. (e:heidi) really enjoyed her vegetarian lunch of stiffed peppers with quinoa and avacados as well.

Chewing on the side with the root canal is all zing and wonk. I can't wait for this to be over by next month.
