Yesterday night I went to (e:rachel) 's party. As far as I could tell it seemed successful. I at least had fun with the regular epeeps gang. I noticed other epople seeming to have fun under the stairs too.

I also saw Dawn there who still hate me supposedly because of my anti-military stance. I think it is funny, I just decided it would be easier to ingnore her than have to engage in any conversation about it as she is not really worth it, in terms of friendship value.

Afterwards, I met this kid named James who is going to UB in the fall. The crazy part is that I think he lives in (e:soyeon) 's house. He was describing his apartment and it seemed like the exact same building.

When I got home at 5 in the morning I decided to go ahead and check the email from my site account and found that in fact I did have a ton of email I was not dealing with.

Has anyone seen Buffalo Rising Magazine. It seems pretty neat. I would like to get a review of the site in the next issue. I wonder what that would take.

So here it is, maybe the worlds first moblogged ferris wheel experience, live from 125 feet up above Hamburg, NY. Amazingly from up here you can see the lake, most of downtown Buffalo, and the Central Terminal. It cost 3.75 for the 5 tickets it took to get up here.

(e:holly) and (e:matthew) were taking higher resolution pics with there camera and we commented that we spent more our our time documenting than just living our experiences.

Since developing the site, however, I definately spend more time socializing with my mobart than I did doing 3D models in the lab. It was a good example of long hours of programming paying off by making my life much easier in the long run.

We saw the farm animals, ate some of them, then found kettle corn, the indian village and now its time for the midway. At least we are skipping all the sicky-flip rrides and moving straight on to the ferris wheel. I am going to document the whole ride.





Here is the ferris wheel as we approach it.

This is the grand champion waterfowl. She is seriously beautiful. Here is also a glimpse of the midway but this photo doesn't do it justice, it is really giagantic.

We are stuck downtown in a maze of traffic on the way to Hamburg for the Erie County Fair. It's been a couple years since I went here. it wasjust a little while before I met (e:matthew) 3 years ago. I went with Mike Glover as (e:terry) had to work.

I remember we took the NFTA Bus to the fair. I wish I had remembered that earlier, before the traffic jam. On the bus that day the driver ran a red light and Mike Glover called the NFTA headquarters from his cell phone and demanded she be repremanded and that he receives an appology letter. I believe he actually received one.

For some reason, everything going towards the skyway is completely blocked off. I am sure it is some sort of legitimate construction endeavour but I have to say that times have changed enough that I did think maybe someone blew it up for a minute. (e:matthew) even joked that maybe we should shut the windows in case of anthrax.

The delay gave me a lot of time to look on the web for buffalo links. I found the web page for SBI, . I never heard of them before, but it sounds interesting for UB students. Click on the about link.

. . . Finally, 20 minutes later we are on the road again. Freaky farm animals and only on TV products - here we come.
