9.27
I am stressing out over here regarding my living situation, money, and going home for the holidays. My lease is going to expire in january of this year, and after holiday-expenses I don't know if I'm going to have the money to find another place and put down a security deposit. There is one possibility which I hope works out. There is a couple that lives down the hall. They have 2 kids and they all live in a 1 bedroom apartment. They are looking for a 2 bedroom, (which I have) and I will be looking for a 1 bedroom, once my roommate leaves! :)
So I just have to try and set it up so that we can make a switch. That would be a very convienient move, right down the hall.....no uhaul :)
Adios.steve

80 and sunny
It was also the time of soccer in high school. I really do miss soccer. I wish that I could still play it, but physical injuries to my back have made that impossible. I can still remember the games, played in the fall night air...ahh...I wish I could go back.
On a side note....there has been a women sunbathing topless at my pool for the past week or two. I haven't met her, until today. I was outside laying in the sun, getting some rays, and her and her boyfriend came out. I can't remember their names, because they were very french, and had thick accents. None the less, I wish that Americans had more of an open policy on nudity. We seem to freak out whenever there is skin exposed that isn't "correct" ex. janet jackson
Chill out !
peace,
Steve
On a side note....this is the biggest amount of clouds I have seen here in months. Laying by the pool today I was confused when the sun went away for a moment. Low and behold....it was a cloud! I haven't seen them in so long!

nice dice
Paul, I thought the same exact thing when I was looking at the artvoice recently. Of course, not the physical copy...being out here in California forces me to download the copy each week. I'm not complaining, I love the fact that I can get artvoice out here the day it comes out, but I'd much rather be looking at it while sipping some joe at caffe aroma.
Peace,
Steve

smoking
It is sad to see businesses closing down because of the ban, but they should have adapated to it before they started losing money. That is harder to do in Buffalo though, without having an open air capability year round (like out here in Cali) There are many bars out here with open air places built into them so people can smoke, and still be outside. California has had the no smoking rule for about 7 years now.
Either way, I think cigerettes are horrible, and do nothing good for anyone.

Steve

pano's contraversy
“… downtown Buffalo, which has sacrificed about 50% of its real estate to parking, is, well, dead compared to Elmwood Avenue, which has largely resisted civic AIDS (Architectural Integrity Deficiency Syndrome). Elmwood has an intact streetscape, almost no parking lots, and is the healthiest neighborhood in Buffalo.�
The case comes before the Preservation Board on Thursday, Sept. 23, at 3:00 pm in Room 920 of City Hall. There is an online petition at www.petitiononline.com/1089elm/petition.html
I love Pano's don't get me wrong, but I would be very pissed if they continued the trend of knocking down beautiful buildings to make parking lots. I know that the city of Buffalo is a pro at doing that, but the Elmwood area is different, for a reason!
Please sign the petition.
Peace,
Steve

I haven't seen any postings about artvoice's new blog, but here is the link:
It is brand new, so there isn't much on there now.

thursday in the square
My friends and I would go to the Square every thursday, spend money, and enjoy the city! We would always make it a point to meet on one particular side of that monument as well, because otherwise it's impossible to find anyone.
Long live thursday in the square!
Peace,
Steve

I wouldn't worry at all....elmwoodstrip rules.
On another note, Sqb, I love your photography. I really love seeing pictures from the elmwood area, because that is where I used to live before I moved out here to California. I am finding out more and more that I don't like this area at all (hollywood), and even though there is nothing for my career (film) in buffalo, I think I'm ultimately more happy there, and will most likely re-locate back to the elmwood area. I would love to get a really nice place with a few apartments in it, and rent out the others while I myself live in one.
Even though the economy is hurting, the weather is not the best and the sports teams are hurting, there is something about the elmwood area that just makes one feel welcome.
Peace,
Steve
