Paul - I'm in for some community involvement. In addition to cleanups, maybe we could have food and clothing drives - some things to help people as winter approaches. I would be willing to help organize some things.

There are all sorts of volunteer opportunities at the United Way site . Maybe we could have a meeting to target a few.

For one night only, Sue Mafino, proprieter of Shoefly, will be bartending at Prespa. Be there at 8 PM Wednesday Sept 1.

Support your local vendor as she pours your drinks!

Allen St Hardware is nice but small.

Blu and Mohawk are kind of a hike from Elmwood.

The Chippewa bars will be packed tonight.

I say Goodbar or Faherty's.

When: Saturday, August 14
8:30 PM
Where: 23 Inwood Place
Buffalo, NY

All epeeps welcome!

I also received a ticket for running a red light in Manhattan, even though my car has never been there. My car is white, and the photo showed a black car. I wrote a letter and included a photocopy of my registration, and they dropped the ticket. It's really dumb that they can't figure out that the color and make of your car is completely different than the car in the photo.
