On my way to work yesterday I saw something interesting that I forgot to post about. In downtown Buffalo outside the convention center between city hall and the square there was what looked like a fire. It was early and dark still maybe aroun 5:20 Am . There where a bunch of chairs and some people sitting around from what I could bearly see what kinda looked like a garbage can and you could kinda see light coming out from it. At that time in the morning I am sure as hell not going to go up and say "hi I'm on my way to work what is going on here?" Then there where a few people also standing around near the bushes. This morning I was late for work that got me downtown about an hour later (i lost and hour somehow this morning) so say about 6:20am and there where people sitting on nice folding silver chairs. Then there where a few people sitting on the steps that lead up to the convention center doors on the second floor. I was wondering if some people who live downtown get to gather in some communel event. It is warm out so it isn't homeless people staying warm. If it was where would they have gotten the matching (at least from a distance) chairs. So now I'm thinking maybe it is people who work at the convention center. For things like this Is why I wish I had a cell phone i would have loved to take a picture (not sure how it would come out) then load it up to (e:strip). If anyone knows what is going On it would be cool to know. I have no idea if they will be there on wendsay but maybe anyone is still up and has nothing better to do go see if they are there.

Aeon SteamCategory: movies
Over the weekend I never did get to see A Scaner Darkly bur I didn't think I would. On friday Clerks II comes out and that looks verry good. I was surprised that they had huge hanging posters for it at the Elmwood regal. This weekend I decided to get AEONFLUX on PPV , it was verry good. Yes it is an action movie and had a few plot turns so it was fun to watch. I admit I have only seen the cartoon a couple times so don't know how much it followed it. But I thought it was good. The other movie I got to see was Steam Boy. First of all there was some really amazing animation. But some scenes in the move where really dark and you could kinda just here sounds. That may have been more like that because the subtittles where bright Yellow. In the discripton it mentioned all these famous people who did the voices but than it wasn't that version. With out giving away to much of the story it is set in the past and the Steam family is a family in working on steam engines. As in some animees philoshpy is a big part of it, there is a theme running through it about how science should be used and that it shouldn't be used as a weapon or just for profit. I thought there was some preaty good action in it and enjoyed the battles and the characters. Sometimes animee with kids arn't my cup of tea but this was preaty good.

Italian Taste MartinCategory: photos
Yeah I'm a little bit behind on posting pictures. I have some up finally that refer to previous posts. I put up a few from the taste of Buffalo. Then the next set of pictures is Paris Burning (short hair singer Rob Bilson). Then the next pictures are from the Same night of Jeff Martin. Then finaly a couple pictures from the italian fest. I went for a couple hours and had fun. I ran into one person from work and there family and then my sis who lives near there. Also saw the New Pirates of the Carbbean move. I thought it was good had a little more physical comedy and a few kinda gross things then I thought but it was good. There where a few shots of some white sand beaches. If you have never been on a white sand beach it is hard to describe but they really are amazing. Hope you enjoy the pics.

Also on my way home I saw people having a Cook out or a BBQ on the lawn at kleinhans but I couldn't think of a way to get a good pic with out really introuding they had a canopy type thing up.

Sabres Logo and moreCategory: hockey
For those of you who don't know there is a new Sabres logo that was sliped onto the internet. It isn't offical and from what i have read sabres officals have not confirmed it as there logo. There are a lot of people who don't like it, me being one of them. I like the current jersys and the old style and would even like to see a modernisation of the old jersys but the new symbol is yuck to me. if you want to check it out go to.
The sqaure was a lot of fun I liked both Burning Paris and Jeff Martin they both where preaty good. It was a great time and I was only a little bit distracted by the ladies and general sournings. Hopefully I will have pictures up sometime this weekend. But Havn't downloaded them. The one thing I didn't like about Burning Paris is that Rob Bilson can really sing but it seems like he was holding back or that the music wasn't writen for him to really sing like he can. Wish I knew how to explain it better. Oh yeah in the papper I saw canal fest is going on and so is the Itailin fest. I gotta check out the itailin fest.

With going to See Pirates of the Caribbean and the Itailin fest I don't have time to put up picks but hopefully on sunday they will go up.
That logo is insane. I don't know if this is the case or not here. But I have heard that sometimes teams now change the jersys for money (NBA) at least. Since they are fashionable people won't want to wear the old jersys so they then go out and buy the new ones but NBA jersys are basicly tank tops and and less expensive but it wouldn't surprise me if that was the case here why else would you change to that ugly thing.

The new logo looks like an angry toupee. I'm thinking if they took the logo from the red jersey and re colored it in blue and gold - people would be cool with it, but this just smacks of missing the point

Thursday (not the band)Category: events
Well I do belive Jeff Martin who used to be the lead Singer of "The Tea Party" will be at the Square on Thursday. I do have his new CD, I don't like it as much as I do "The Tea Party" but it is still good. I don't know if he will do any Tea Party stuff or not but I'm looking forward to going, I have to go and maybe get a few pics as well. If memory serves me correctly the italian fest starts on thursday as well and runs through the weekend it might be wendsday but I think it is thursday. I know I will at least make it there on Saturday. I been tired this week I guess from work and keeping kinda busy. But tired or not I plan to be at the concert even if it means I have to have a few energy drinks.

90 wow that is hot. I was thinking about maybe seeing a movie to. I want to see the New Pirates of the Caribean movie and if it is open in Buffalo yet A Scanner Darkly , looks like some interesting animation and it looks twisted. I hope all the rain is over with and there is no rain for the concert on thursday.

I will admit the union things sounds like a stong possibilty. No one was there today and there tent like booth thing that looks like the tents at the art festival was gone. But there was still something up against the wall, but maybe that thing what ever it is has allways been there. If people ever come back I will try to post about it, but who knows.
I'm wondering if it isn't a union thing. There is a group by the construction on Delaware near Channel 2. There is always the bon fire in the barrel and stuff like that. Usually somebody is passing out leaflets, stuff like that.
somebody lit one of those plastic garbage cans down they have down on Niagara St on fire a few months ago.
The next day it was all melty and distorted
