Party On Saturday
Category: party

This saturday at 8PM at 24 linwood. It's at our own house now, so the front door is the right door for once. No more living in the rear!

Assuming it is still on that day I plan to be there, I belive I'm free. I look forward to seeing the new place in person. Of course there will be lots of pictures taken. If the date changes hopefully I'll still be able to make it.

Um...so I guess I can't make it to my own birthday party. That is the day of Jill's sister wedding! It can't be then!

16,000 Journal Entries
Category: estrip
Today we reached our 16,000th journal entry. Thank you to everyone who has been a part of this project and shared a part of their life with the fabric which makes up the digital quilt that is estrip.org. I am defending my thesis about it today and then it's over I am pulling the plug and moving on to bigger and better things in cooler cities. Just kidding.

(e:theecarey) and I have a bunch of plans in store to expand estrip further and my committment to Buffalo is pretty permanent since I just bought a house in the middle of the city.

oh crap, I'm a day late, but- good luck with your defense!!!!!

Not sure how far your plans go and how you want to expand the site. But I know (e:strip) spawned a sister site (sord of) Alamedalink. Who knows maybe some day someone will come up with sites in other cities and the sites will. Each site would be local but could have links to each other. That way say for example I wanted to visit the washington Area instead of asking Southernyanke where to go and what to do I could get advice from a bunch of people from the area. I think often people living in the area give a better vision of a place then a site trying to spur tourism. In any event I look forward to the site growing and changing.

I was going to recommend checking out UB Green, but I gather that's who he's doing the project for in the first place. When (e:dragonlady7) did an article last fall about energy efficiency in the winter :::link::: she learned a lot from a local company called Apollo Construction Co :::link:::

Hi there!
I wanted to invite you and your readers to see the documentary The War Tapes (the critically acclaimed Iraq War documentary filmed by three NH National Guard troops) tomorrow (August 31st) at 7pm. The movie will be opening on Friday, but there is a free sneak preview tomorrow at the Market Arcade. To get a better idea of the movie, please check out the reviews section of The War Tapes site:

Here's the invite:

The groundbreaking documentary film "The War Tapes," is opening in Buffalo this Friday -- but you're invited to a free sneak preview.
The War Tapes
Free Sneak Preview
Monday, July 31st
Market Arcade Film & Arts Centre
639 Main Street
Buffalo, NY
7pm

This extraordinarily important film is the first documentary to chronicle the war through the eyes of those Soldiers who lived it. Director Deborah Scranton and Producer Chuck Lacy gave video cameras to a group of Soldiers from the New Hampshire National Guard prior to their deployment, and this film is the result. Awarded "Best Documentary" at the Tribeca Film Festival last month, this film is a must-see for anyone who seeks to better understand the war, and its impact on the men and women sent to fight it.
Check out the Trailer here: or on the Apple trailers page. You can also read some of the many great reviews that the movie has received here:

To get your free ticket, please RSVP to buffalo AT thewartapes.com . If you can't make the screening on Monday, the movie opens at The Market Arcade Film & Arts Centre on August 4th.

Hope to see you there!
