Buffalo TransportationCategory: transportation
(e:terry) is lucky that there is a bus because otherwise he would be really stuck with his work being so fara way. (e:lilho) on the other hand is not so lucky. I cannot believe there is no public transportation to the airport during all flight hours. The first bus goes at 6:18am which is late. When I tried to plan the trip using the NFTA public transport planner it gave me the following response. I think it meant the not only the trip to the airport but the broader trip to NYC.

Rave HistoryCategory: music
The interviewer is asking Xotec about the scene before him. Does anyone else remember those parties at the Ellen Terry Theatre. Those raves were so crazy. maybe it was just my first time being messed up but it changed my life for a lot of years. That theatre was like Showplace but cooler. Unfortunately, like showplace it has the nasty slanted floor. That made dancing way more dangerous.
(e:hodown) remember the stilt people? Who is Toni Billoni, the name sounds so familiar?
XOTEC: Non existent! (Other than two events Toni Billoni did in the early 1990s). Before I met the rest of the Tribe I was heavily involved in producing the first series of raves in the WNY area, at the old Ellen Terry Theatre on Grant and Potomac [now torn down], the Masten St Armory, the infamous TCI building [also torn down], etc. Anyway, it was at the first party at the Ellen Terry that I met Marcos, Christ and God and this whole sick twisted ride began, from hooking up at my first raves to playing together Friday nights at Asbury Alley [now Route 66, but historically quite seminal in terms of the development of WNY's underground electronic dance music roots]. We actually began throwing events as a collective in May a party in the basement of the Lafayette Hotel. Talk about underground! From then on we worked together to bring WNY some of the most twisted, unique events around.
Quoted from: SOUNDLAB | Dedicated to the Music, Media & Performance of Big Orbit Gallery
Tony Billoni was the original creator and curator of the Annual Artist and Models Affair...going back to the mid 80's - he passed it on to Hallwalls in the 90's for a fundraising event.
He is / as also on channel 7 late night on Saturdays...what's the name of that movie show? Can't remember right now...

Kuni's is closingCategory: food
I suppose something will be able to fill the spot as it is a prime elmwood location.
I can understand why he would want to take a break. That restaurant was always full and he definately put his all into it. Being that committed to a project can really drain you over time. Plus he must have made enough money to retire for a while.
Oh man! Kuni's was the first place I went to by myself to have sushi (my first time I had no choice). Kuni's will be sorely missed...
I'll have fond memories of our night out there with the Larson paparazzi crew. So sad.
Wow... i needed to read the link. I guess i was too late...
I reckon i will have to go eat there for the first and last time, then, eh?
Dude I am going to kill you for posting my yearbook picture.
