[inlink]metalpeter,401[/inlink] in a previous Journal I mentioned the Karibana festival on saturday and sunday. I found there web site it is www.buffalokaribana.org . They have information about some of theings going on and the parade on saturday. Also on Saturday is the BallParkBrawl. It is the bisons game followed by wrestling matchs. It is a really neat event. I would list the matchs but they will most likely change. The main event is supposed to be The Sandman Vs. Sabu. Plus Mick Foley will be there and a bunch of other wrestlers. That same night at the HSBC Arena Greenday is perfoming and Jimmy Ear World is the opening act. That should be an amazing show. Then there is the canal series I belive it is called for free you can see Everclear and I belive Last Conservative is the opening act, they are a good band. If for no other reason then to watch there lead singer on stage. Plus there is the fair also. I will be going to see the Bus Derby next weekend not sure what events are going on there this weekend. I'm sure there is more stuff going on but these are just the things I know about. I hope the weather is nice since I'm going to be out doors all day watching baseball and wrestling. I don't want to have to worry about what they would do if it rains, it had better not rain.

On Thursday Nights there are two new comedies on FX. One of them is Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and the other is called straved. I will say that they are both a little out there. I taped the repeats of the first episodes last night and the new episodes are on at 10pm tonight. I'm not sure when they are repeated. I thought the first episone of always sunny was great. I really found it funny. Straved was not funny to me. But comedy shows go episode by episode or at least for me. I also watched the the new episode of Over There, it was a verry good episode I think that is a great show also. All 3 shows have a warning about mature subject matter. But what I don't understand is that movies, TV shows, and music all have warning labels or notifactions on them but why not commericals. For example there is that anti smoking add where they show all that goo that bulit up in an artery that looks like cottage chese that is gross. If I where eating I might puke. How about victoria secert adds. Those are some huge busty and heavly clevaged adds they don't bother me but for some young kid I don't know as they should see that. If people are warned about footage that might offend why not on commericals? I know that they are what is used to make money for the TV stations and TV programing but if the Warnings are to truely protect people then adds that might offend people should be pulled. Like what about Condom ads and parents who teach there kids that sex before marriage is wrong. I think if this trend continues we may start seeing the most sex and violance in ads as opposed to shows. But maybe there are restrictions on ads that I don't know about. I know I saw some anti drug commerical where there was some real dead girl in a morg. I don't want to see that give me a warning first. [bgcolor]#00ff00[/bgcolor]

I picked up the new artvoice today (Jason's toliet papper, kidding of course, I thought it was a funny joke anyways). I see that on saturday and sunday downtown there is a Karibana festival. I belive it starts at noon both days. There wasn't a lot of information about it but it sounds interesting. I'm guessing there is more information about it on line somewhere or in the events section of the artvoice.

I don't know if anyone has any tattoos here or if any one likes them. I myself like them but don't have any. If you are interested by them or like reality TV there are two shows you may enjoy. I know I should be encouraging people to go out side and enjoy the great weather but you can allways tape them if you like them. One of them is Called Miami Ink it is an hour long show on TLC (The Learning Channel) Tuesdays at 10pm I belive. Then on A&E there is a half hour show (they show 2 episodes) called Inked on wendsdays at 9pm and it is repeated I belive on tuesday at 10pm but not sure if that is correct. It is about a shop that opened up in Vegas at the Palms. Both shows are verry interesting but both shops are verry differant. You might even enjoy them if you arn't into Tattoos.

Recently I have started going to the Erie County Fair. I'm not sure how many years in a row I have gone. Some times I have gone 2 or 3 times in the same year. It all depends on what events they had at the grand stand and when I was off fridays it was great to go up on a friday and Saturday. I don't remember there website but you can get all kinds of information on line or if you got a book about them in last weeks sunday paper I belive. With all the vendors if you have a car they are a great place to go and do some early christmas shoping there are so many vendors. Plus there are shows and rides and all sorts of stuff to eat. Plus recently there has been these spray paint artists who are amazing and watching them is a show in its self the art is amazing. I don't know if they will be there this year. They usaly have one big attraction like the city of cards or this year I think it is a sand castle someone will be working on that is huge. Then there are shows that you can buy tickets for Like Styx. The funny thing is I have never gone to preview night. Preview night is Wendsday. I admit I don't know much about it, since I have never been to preview night but I have heard it is nice. I would advise everyone to go it can be a lot of fun if that is your thing. I'm not a ride or games person but I like looking at all the stuff for sale and the peking acrobats and the tiger show last year where verry good.
