FiveV Report and Information
At FiveV laboratories we have developed clothing that circumvents the need for the human element when initiating the desired brand recognition response. No longer will you need to rely on the fallible human eye to let everyone else know what brand of clothing you are wearing.

By using wireless communication methods, we have empowered the clothing articles with the ability to recognize like branded clothing within a 20 foot diameter. When the FiveV branded clothing detects another instance of like branded clothing, it alerts the human element of the outfit by sending tactile and auditory signals sent via vibrating motors and sound feedback in a manner similar to a cell phone ringing.

Please feel free to try the clothing on. The green jacket currently emits the brand identity and the furry leather jacket alerts it's user of like branded models.

To stickboy, the inexperienced weenie
In response to Stickboy[inlink]stickboy,131[/inlink]. My problems with the event are really the child/minorities possiboly being exposed to toxic substances furing the the cleanup of the site [inlink]paul,1787[/inlink], an already famous artist exploiting people's bodies for money, and the control issues of surrounding thousands of naked people being herded like sheep. I think these pictures say it all.

This is my favorite quote from a webpage of a person that participated in a previous Tunick photograph.

Then the show began. I don't know what time it was, but Spencer entered the hall to a tumultuous applause and cheering. He was greeted like a gladiator" Maximus Nudicus " the visionary chieftain who would lead the amassed clothed slaves into a joyous naked freedom. There was a cacophony of excited chatter and laughter yet in an air of anticipation. He shushed us.

Just to clear the air for anyone that thinks I am against this because I am shy and afraid to be naked, you are so wrong. I have been naked in front of thousands of people plenty of times, and any good nude beach could provide you with the same experience along with nature, water, and sun. Best of all, no one directing your experience or making money off of it.

What do you get at the central terminal? What I see is a cold floor of a contaminated building with a bunch of creepy people who are socially molded to think nudity equates sexuality.

Laundromat Megaparty
Category: kenmore
(e:soyeon) , (e:terry) , (e:matthew) and I went way down elmwood to do laundry in the surburbs today. We ended up at 2762 Elmwood in Kenmore. This used to be my favorite laundromat when it was Rock and Roll style with elvis heads, etc.
It is cheaper and quieter but today we are here because we have to stop at compusa. The music drive on our server tragically failed and needs to be replaced. We lost 30GB of music this morning, so the radio is having a little setback until we can re-rip all the CDs back to legal MP3 files, lol

My Feelings About The Central Terminal
Category: central terminal
This is how I remember it.

As a child I used to play in there all the time. I should have listened to my parents. Now as an adult, I know the building is full of toxic abstestos. I can't even believe it is structurally sound. I remember one time being in a part of it when the ceiling collapsed. At the time we though it was cool. Looking back it was stupid. The goal of each visit was to go play behind the clock and manually change the time by moving the arms. It was such an adventure to get up to that part without falling through or dying. Oh the life of suburban children gone wild. I think we just didn't understand death very well. We also used to play in the sewers, abandoned grain mills, old building on Niagara Street and Behind Linde in the toxic nuclear waste dump from the Manhatten project (e:paul,30660) . Buffalo is just fun like that.

It was abandoned in such a weird way that everything was left there as though the people had simply dissapeared. You could go through the desks and find tons of paperwork and itinerarys, etc.

The part of the whole thing that is so sick, is that it should have been cleaned up by some profressional group with space suits instead of volunteers. Especially, when some of those voluneteers were children.

Those pictures are so disgusting. Why does the lone child not have a mask, and has anyone done home repair with fine dust? Do you believe these children are being properly ventilated and that these little paper sars masks are working?

My biggest question now is what is this restoration really working toward?. We obviously could never have another viable train station in Buffalo. Especially, not in that neighborhood, so what is it all about? Why does the Central Terminal Restoration Corporation!! care about this place? Maybe someone here knows more than I do, but I can't see how it is that important in people memories. This building was only around from 1929 to 1974, so it doesn't even have that long of a history. Furthermore, the type of history it has is really not so very different from any other point of travel, such as the airport.

So imagine this, the airport shut down because of bad business,etc right now. Can you actually see yourself doing an airport restoration project. Not me! Just because something is old (<100years old) does not mean it needs to be restored. especially when it's in as crappy of condition as this building. BUt most importantly, if the Central Terminal Restoration Corporation ever makes money off that building, how will they justify the fact that they used "volunteer" child labor to do their toxic waste cleanup?
