Weekend wrap-up
We had so few trick or treaters this year. I only went through one large bag of candy. The kids who awestruck by our dogs, make me laugh. We always have at least one group that really want to see the dogs. I put a gate up and block the dogs into our living room so they can see me and not howl all night long so when the kids come up the stairs they see the dogs.
One little boy said "wow everyone in your neighborhood has a dog!" and he is right, we have a lot of dogs in Parkside. I'm guessing he might live on the other side of Main Street since he said YOUR and OUR.
Friday night we went to 2 Halloween parties. We did not expect to have a lot of fun at the first one, we didn't think we'd fit in with the crowd.
The first party was hosted by the Bills backup QB. A friend of mine is friends with his GF. The party was packed and the majority of people in attendance appeared fairly young. There was a fantastic DJ there so we danced up a storm. It was good to just let loose with the added bonus that only the people who you went to the party with already know you and how kinda weird you can be.
We also stopped in to the (e:strip) party. @tinypliny it was nice to meet you too. @metalpeter I think I also met you. I know a bunch of you met my nutty husband! I did not stay long as I was TIRED from dancing so much and one of my friends had to be up at 5:30am to work so I left my husband along with James and Robert at the party. I have no idea what time my husband got home. I'm sorry I did not get to meet more e:peeps
@paul, @matthew and @terry thank you for hosting the party.
Saturday we went to the American Sign Language Expo. My husband is a full time student and is taking Sign Language as his foreign language. It was a small expo held out in Clarence at the WNY Expo Center.
I am amazed at how many businesses were NOT at the Expo. I would have thought tech companies would have been eager to explore this market. Money is money and we all buy stuff.
I also realized that deafness impacts many people. We saw families, biker guys, grandmas and grandpas, young children, teenagers (they were all texting and signing!), various ethnic backgrounds and this goes back to me being amazed at how many companies are not marketing to the deaf community.
We ran into our friends Sarah and Emily and their family. It was nice to see them as I think the last time we saw them was last year at Buffalo Pride.
We watched What Happens in Vegas on PPV on Saturday night as I felt like we were still recovering from Friday. It was a predictable by fairly funny movie.
Sunday we went to RIT to see Noises Off! performed by NTID Theater Company. They are deaf theater company. The deaf actors act and sign the play while hearing actors read the lines. The hearing actors are not on stage with deaf actors. They are seated in first row. Noises Off! is a funny play and it was adapted to the deaf community like replacing a telephone with laptop and video camera.
We also went to H&M at the Eastview Mall. WHY WHY WHY don't we have an H&M here in Buffalo? We get a crazy supersized Forever 21 but no H&M and Rochester has 2. unfair!!
well that is more than enough rambling from me today!
