Last night I went to see Black Label Society and had a great time. They where really good and really loud. It should be interesting to see when my one ear fixes itself and dosn't ring anymore. I forget the name of the opening band somethin like santuary or something like that they were pretty good to. The only thing is that it was hard to Here what Zakk was singing . I'm not sure if it was where I was standing that the drums where so loud. But to me his vocals and guitar kinda blended togather. I could here is voice but couldn't make out a lot of what he was saying, I wonder if I was the only one. Oh yeah one other cool thing is that I got to see some of the Hockey game before the concert then in between bands I got to see the end of the game. The Devils got that last second goal and could have tied it but feel short. On a side note I'm not a Devils fan, yeah I used to be for about a month years ago. But they do have a pretty cool Jersey and a pretty good goalie. Oh yeah back to my point one of the Members of BLS Wore a Sabres Jersey for Part of the show. It was the old one with the old symbol (not the blue and gold) of the buffalo. It was #81 it looked like it said Satan. If he where ever traded to the devils I would buy a home and away Jersey and wear it to every Metal or Hard rock show I could. That would be one hot seller. I know it is said like Sh in shit and Tan but still it is spelled Satan and on a Devils Jersey that would be preaty dam cool. Oh yeah back to BLS they did a nice tribute to "Dim Bag" it really was nice. I never take my camera to Town Ballroom because of the pat downs and not really sure if they are allowed I did see some people taking photos so Maybe I should have taken it, oh well.
On a different note:
Saturday Night I have a bandits game to go to so that should be fun vs. the Shamrox and I'm thinking maybe Friday go see Jackdaw but most likely I will just stay home but who knows. There is also some art show fashion show at Diablo that might be interesting not sure about that on friday. Then Sunday I will watch Wrestlemania Yeah it is expensive but it should be a great time. So I wish everyone a early happy weekend.

Firstly I admit I only have one Black Label Society CD but they are in town on Wends. So I have to go see them at the Towne Ballroom . For some time they had the prefix of "Zax Wilde's" but I think they drop that not sure. I have no idea who the opening act is or if there is one or two but it should be a good time in any event. I'm tempted to go right from work and then go to T.G.I Fridays for dinner it sounds like a good idea. Oh yeah I must also get cash so I can buy merch. I guess that is all I really have to say, hopefully one of these days I'll have an exciting post but oh well.

Photo themeCategory: tv
Recently photos have kinda been a theme and it is kinda odd in a way. A couple posts back I mentioned that I keep pictures in photo albulms and that it took a long time to put them away. Well tonight I have about 120 to do that with but it shouldn't take to long I hope. But where things get interesting is that last night Photos the theme in the Simpsons there was an entire thing about the Paperazzi . But what started it all was that they got a fire safe and put the photoalbulm in it and a fire starts in the safe and destroys all the pictures. Then then get the idea to re-stage all the pictures. Yes they did say re-stage meaning that the pictures where staged in the first place. I found that funny cause it implies that they posed for the pictures and that the pictures where what they wanted to see or to remember and not what actually was. This was also a small point in one of the stories on Desperate Housewives weeks ago where they showed people smiling. But it brings up the point that if pictures are only of the happy moments and not of the fist fight that breaks out after the picture or the tantrums and doors slamming that then that stuff doesn't get represented. I understand that you may not want a picture of a kid crying but all the pictures taken of the family or what ever you take shouldn't be just happy stuff and only the gorgeous buildings you see in a city. I'm not saying that you should go to every funeral and wake and take pictures but we often have trouble taking pictures of the tough times. Sometimes it is out of respect or that you know there might be people who don't want there picture taken or don't want that distraction. But As I have learned you often regret not taking those pictures, when you look back on it. Ok I guess my little rant, not that it is really a rant is over.

Bandit AlbulmsCategory: photos
For those of you who read My last journal or "blog" what ever term you prefer here are two pictures that are not the best but that kinda convey what I was talking about. Oh before I forget I don't want everyone to think I'm a huge Maple Leaf fan that flag I got at a Game I went to years ago when in toronto.


The Bandits did wind up winning the game last night and I had a good time and I shall put up some pictures from the game in random order but first here are the pictures of Downtown Buffalo I took before the game (also on my webshots page). Two of the pictures are of the new R2-D2 mailboxes .








I will admit that it would have been nice if the sabres and bandits would have won But I know that is unrealistic sometimes. But I had a good time here are some shots of the game and some of the Bandettes also.














Well I got a few error messages so Not sure what that is about but hopefully these pictures are a good asortment

Now that I look at that it does say fucktooth the way his jersey is wrinkled but I believe the way it is said is Bucktooth. In terms of being a Maple Leafs fan they often bother me and the same thing with Rock fans. There is often something obnoxious about the way they root on there team often. I'm not saying all there fans are like that. I myself am a Blue Jays fan myself. Don't get me wrong it is still fun to see a Leafs game. But I don't want anyone to think that is my team or any thing.

@ jenks: LOL!

Pictures and More First of all before I forget the Bandits Have a home Game on Saturday night Vs. The Colorado mammoth. It should be a good game and it is a vary important game since the Bandits are in second place in there devision. Colorado is in first place in the other devision and I think only has one lose so far.
Last weekend I had a busy and fun weekend with the Car Show, Mat's Birthday and the parade and I took lots of pictures. But one little draw back is how long it took to put all those pictures into a picture album. Yes I use picture albums. I also download the pictures onto a computer and then back them up on CD or maybe the computer is the back up. One cool thing is if you have pictures on a CD is that you can look at them on a DVD player assuming it is one of the ones that is JPEG compliant . I will admit that I don't do it that often but it is still a pretty cool idea. But what my problem is now is that I have to go out and get shelving or some type of bookcase that is big enough for all my albums. I have some small ones and some large ones so finding one that is the right size is tough, but I'm currently looking into it. Maybe I'll find one this weekend I hope.
Oh yeah that is the other thing I wanted to mention On the 28th I'm going to see Black Label Society, that should be a fun time for sure. I forgot the other thing I wanted to mention. So I hope everyone has a great weekend.

Yeah I have to have them in albums. Firstly that way they are there and I can see them and touch them. Secondly when formats change it may at someday make them hard to view if they are just stored digitly. I store mine on CDs and not DVDs although that can be done. But in the few years of dvds (small versions of laser discs basicly ) they now have HD and blueray and blue ray players will only play blueray discs. I wouldn't be surprised if in 20 years CD formats for music is gone. I'm not saying that it will be. I'm just not comfortable with that being the only way I have the pictures. I have to physicly have them. Not to mention when they are printed they do look differant then in there digital form. Maybe when I put up my next thing Of pictures I should include a picture of my albulms . I should take a picture of them today. GRanted it will not be all of them but the ones that arn't to old.

You mean you print hard copies and put them in albums? That's great. I wish I did that. That's the one thing I miss about digital pix- having a good old paper photo album.
