On our way to eat at Sahara Grill we passed by the old Sofra. Did anyone else eat at Sofra before it closed? We went once with (e:flacidness) but it was mega overpriced. I got a tiny amount of lamb and a tiny rice pryamid for $16. To make it weirder, the prices on the inside far exceeded the prices on the menu outside.



Now that they are closed down, the put up a sign saying that it is ideal for just about any ethnic restaurant. I wonder what makes the restaurant so unsuitable for american food. After all, it used to be a soda shop. (E:mike) says that is included in etc. Hahaha.

I also snagged brand new matching green and white Alitalia Airline
bags for (e:lilho) and (e:hodown) and a giant set of dishes for (e:lilho).

Today while I should have been finishing up my thesis, I instead had to attend to numerous amount of landlording tasks. (E:matthew) and (e:terry) and I moved so much crap. There were numerous dressers, nightstands, coffee tables, end tables, a 700 lb solid iron washing machine down 3 flights of stairs. Luckily we got a brand new double size matress out of it, and an end table, coffee table set.

I also took apart a motion detector for further study. (E:terry) and my dad worked on a chair for three millions hours and then threw it out.

On monday we get our first rent money. Hopefully, it will make it worth it.

(E:terry), (e:lilho) and I met up with (e:shawnr) [inlink]shawnr,144[/inlink] to go see the virtual reality demo at the coit house. I think it is tomorrow night too. I made the environment and character models for the last environment "The trial the trail."

We saw The Thing Growing the Trial The Trail and another one called metaspace.

The show was part of the infringement festival. Dave Pape made a pretty cool new VR piece in 24 hours. It mapped out your dancing and made music. It was pretty rad. It was nice to see my models alive. I look forward to continueswork on that project in the fall.

We also got to see josephine and dave's new baby. She is so cute.



The coit house is for sale for 149,000, it is a pretty great space . The oldest house in Buffalo, the Coit house (built 1813) was moved from Pearl street to Virginia in 1863. I'll post a link to it when I get back to the comp.



Today I also found all these george bush spray painted icons on elmwood. I wonder who made them.

So for the last two nights I ended up at the pink. One night to hang out with Cassie where I almost died, and one night to hang out with (e:iriesara). Last night (e:rzoo) and (e:terry) traded clothes at the bar. (E:rzoo) ended up in a wife beater and painter shorts and (e:terry) ended up in a frock like dress. I am excited to work with (e:rzoo) in the fall.

We also went to the essex and saw Carrie with the dreadlocks. She still works there. Does anyone else know who I mean? i love her, she is one of the coolest people in buffalo. She lives next to the coop and was telling me about how horrible it was with their early morning deliveries. I remember living next to it on Lexingon and it was the same. Beep, beep, truck noise at the crack of dawn beep.

She also said it looks like a walgreens but at least a walgreens would be able to devlop her film 24 hours a day.

It is so crazy to try and figure out the web of crazieness between (e:joshua), (e:robin), (e:jason), (e:drclorine) and the peep formally know as (e:soyeon). We spent like a hour analyzing comments and chat to figure it out.
