Anything But Clothes Party!
Category: unnerd
Ok Ok Ok.

I haven't posted any thing for a while, but my reasons for not posting are more because I have too much to do than nothing to post about; which in the long run is kind rude since if I were to post about these things in a timely fashion you peeps might even be able to join me in my crazy Buffaloinan escapades, but I digress...


Anything But Clothes 2006.

Let us not mince words. This is a naked party. My friend Rebecca, one of Buffalo's own Strip Teasers put me onto it, and I now share my wealth of knowledge with you my (e:peeps). Apparently this party has been going on since as far back as 2003, and it's annual, and it's exactly what you'd imagine. People show up in very little to nothing on, as long as what ever the little is isn't clothes.

I wore a Victoria Secret bag as a mini skirt w/ a trash bag top. Some other girl had on doilies and tea bags, some dude was dressed as a tin foil robot, some guy only had metal signs on, my friend Jenny wore some table mats duct taped together for a top and a beach towel. We were all wasted, except for Jenny who couldn't quite grasp why it was sooooo much fun to be out dancing in some backyard on Elmwood with your gibblets off in the breeze for her blasted sobriety, but I think she still had fun. Fen of Knife Crazy was spinning some sweet old school 80's soul/dance tracks and we sweat away a few pounds inside our plastic bags and tinfoil.

I cannot say that I didn't have any anxiety about going to a naked party. Earlier in the night my friend R-E-L (I refused to spell her name Arial, because it is not pronuced that way. It is produced like you see it R-E-L and she frustrates when you say it any other way), who, pound for pound, is the most fun and attractive girl I know in Buffalo right now, was hipping me to the party since she'd been there before. She was rather non pulsed about going to a naked party, and or knowing naked partying people. She knew about the party because her recently ex-boyfriend used to date Rebecca. She'd remarked, "Oh, that's those naked people. They always end up naked at the end of the night". Which didn't do anything to cure my anxiety, but informing my friends about it and having them pressure me into going worked just fine, thank goodness, cause it was quite fun. I have some pictures, but they are in Jenny's camera, I'll put em' up if they're not to hideous.

Speaking of how fun and attractive she is, she's usually at the Midnight Mass, which is a rolling bar that start at 12am Sunday Night/Monday Morning every week. Pretty much a replica of the Critical Mass that some kinda national cycling pests association sponsors, but with booze on Sunday nights. I've been to a few and they're kinda awesome. We meet at the Essex Street Pub and commence to getting hammered until everyone shows up and then head down to Holly Farms to buy more beers and such. The trip leader then picks a far flung place for us to trek to and we're off! Drinking, and smoking and rabble rousing, and stopping traffic w/ our 75+ cyclists girth of moving obstruction. It's kinda fun....no, no, its mega fun, but I can't party that hard anymore. I've gotta come to, and do some stuff that lasts, and/or improves me.


UPDATE:

The crush is over. I found some not so cool stuff out about her, and I just don't have a crush anymore. I guess it was fun while it lasted, but that short spat w/ luv just didn't satisfy. I need a real bay-bay.

On the upside I reconnected with this really awesome girl from a tiny ways back and we went on a few dates. I really really like her, but looks like she's leaving buffalo.... sigh. So if you have any spare cute (not hot) girls that like slightly nerdy ex-rockstars with noodle hair lemme know. I need one.

PS. There's still Dodgeball every monday at the YMCA on Delaware every Monday at 8:00 call me if you're interested, or just show up.

PPS. ...and there's Buffalo Kickball every sunday at 2:00 @ LaSalle Park. We want more teams under the Buffalo KickBall Umbrella, though right now it's just pick up games so everyone's welcome in any number. If your were to bring a team you'd only need about 9 peeps to make a whole team, so if you (e:peeps) and/or non-epeeps wanna come down and enjoy some kball by all means get there and make your presence known, and/or freind that profile on myspace so that you can be updated on the goings on .

Next week we travel to Toronto to play the Toronto Kick ball League (they have several teams).... soon, we'll take on Brooklyn kickball, and after that...THE WHURL!

If you get too many female donations, remember your pasty faced breathen with boring old semi-spiky hair. I'm here to serve if needed

:::link::: if you don't feal like searching that will at least take you to Matt's journal and there is a link to Pauls also not sure if anyone ever put up pics. Maybe I should go just to take pics this year. I remember I thought about going for about 10 seconds until I relised with out a car I would have to go there in my out fit so It was a nice thought. I do have One verry daring Idea for anyone with the guts to do it, I know don't. (e:strip) bumber stickers only.

I admit I have only seen the stripteasers at MIA (Music Is Art) but they where preaty interesting, the few performances I saw.

In terms of the having extra girls who are cute, If I did I would send one your way. After all you are a Fellow west sider. However I don't even have one let alone an extras.
kookcity2000 - 08/13/06 15:45
dude I think I should join this "kick"-ball team you speak of

I could be like 3rd string, then work my way up through dedication and perserverance
paul - 08/13/06 15:05
We all went to the anything but clothes party last year. I am sure there are a bunch of entries about I but I can't find them right now because I am moving.

I believe (e:keith) lived with rebecca and that's how we ended up there. It seems like everytime we hung out with him and his friends everyone ended up naked. I wore a firewire drive case cut apart. That broke after no time.

That night started out as lilho's housewarming party. For some reason she was a fucking bitch that night. At the end of the party we spent a really long time looking for our keys on the ground because she wouldn't look in her purse where terry insisted they were. Turned out they were in there.

I wonder what he was reading?

mrdeadlier - 07/11/06 14:02

What Octopods Do In Their Spare Time
Category: unnerd
I recorded this at that ocotopus project show that was here on papa's day, before Radiohead. It wasn't as acusticly organized as the Auditorim Theater but this is some good music. If you like bands like RATTATAT you might dig these guys. I tried to get a video but bad light is the death of this phone. This is only a 30 second clip, and um you're going to wanna turn this down it's really loud:

I have a crush
Category: unnerd
OK So cold stone Ice cream cannot taste as good as the lines out side their doors suggest.

After dodgeballing this monday (and every monday in case you find your self bored) Andy, Jenny, Kim Schuster and I went for a scoop since it's just down the block. Waiting in the rain chilled air covered in sweat didn't seem so appealing so we went to a tiny mom and pop down the street... Oh right my crush.

Aside from my longstanding Jenny soap opera (which will continue as she accompanies me to my cousin Tina's wedding in a few weeks) I have a dodgeball crush... OK it's prolly not so accurate to call this a dodgeball crush. I've known this girl for quite a few years but, shes really good people, and cuter than hell. I probably shouldn't work myself up over this and just ask her out, but its kind fun to get worked up over a crush. It's been so long since I've had one, but that's a story for a different post.

Here's a pic of a packed out Coldstone. I'm still not convinced they aren't selling crack. Place looks like a soup kitchen...

Here's the icecream store...
there's someone in line who should be jogging, but I wont' say who

oh you crule (e:peeps)! it was me... I should have been jogging!

boxerboi - 07/04/06 06:42
I managed to get in there when the line wasn't that bad. It was still about a 10 minute wait. I don't even want to know how ridiculously unhealthy it is. I think they should give you a free Lipitor with your spoon.
mrmike - 07/04/06 01:05
IF they are selling crack, then Timmy Ho's working the crystal meth market. I went to Cold Stone once and it was okay. I think the Krispy Kreme analogy works. Soon, it will be just another place to get some scream action.

Enjoy the crush.
jenks - 06/28/06 14:08
seriously... what's the big deal?? It's just ice cream... We've had cold stone at home for a few years now... this marble slab thing is not a new concept. I had no idea people were freaking out so much... I mean sure it's good, but not wait-in-line-for-days good!
enknot - 06/28/06 11:33
That's where we went... Condrell's. It was nice. Sit down service. No lines. The ice cream was tasty too, really good. I mean really I can't imagine that ice cream is any much better than Ben and Jerrys, and the lines at Wilson Farms are never this long.
mrdeadlier - 06/28/06 11:03
seeing as my in-laws keep dragging us back to cold stone, i think i can qualify as an expert. the answer is no, their ice cream is *not* as good as the lines suggest, i'll take condrell's over them any day. cold stone is just buffalo's krispy kreme for 2006.
scott - 06/28/06 08:31
Dude... you play dodgeball? I'm totally down...

...now back to the rest of your post...
theecarey - 06/28/06 01:19
"cold stone crack factory"

seriously, that is a looong line for a little icecream.

um, but.. I stood in that line once.

yummy. But never again .. not the size I bought and not on an empty stomach..never ever again! er..

Have fun with your crush. It *is* fun to be excited about someone--especially when it is a rare thing/ not easily interested/amused by anyone. So, yeh.. best of luck with that :)
jenks - 06/27/06 18:29
hear hear... I have a crush (maybe more?) and it's making me totally insano, but I love it. :) So fun! (and is that her in the pic?) Good luck!
hodown - 06/27/06 17:08
Aww, having a crush is adorable. Everyone should have a crush on someone. Makes life that much more fun.

Ok... it's kinda grindy, but it's great quality considering it was recorded on my phone.... yeah. Radiohead was great.
Gather Tracking Number: 0871240001150903551

This is for anyone who'd come back to listen to the song above again. Here's a special treat. The set list they played was totatly fan oriented (no radio releases), and they played a few new songs, one of which I captured most of. Have a listen, or get it on Gather.

Completley New Radiohead Song!

(e:paul) if/when you get any flack for this just take it down right away.

Wow the second song on this post is on the new In Rainbows disk. It's called "House of Cards" and this was recorded/posted almost a year before it was out... man I'm cool ::blam:: (sound of my own big head exploding)
