On thursday I'm going to the square. I admit I only know that one Joan Osborne song. I just hope if it rains that it does it in the morning and not during the show. That same night at Towne Ballroom is Jeff Martin formly of the Tea Party and Klear is opening up for him. Not sure if there is another opener or not. I gotta look up what time that show is cause maybe after Osbourne I would be able to catch some of the Jeff Martin show if he isn't on stage yet. We shall see what happens.

So Yesterday on DVD I watched the Peking Acrobats. I got it at "The Fair" last summer. The stunts they do are pretty cool. Some of it is diving through hops, doing tricks on chairs and all kinds of different acts. You can hear Chinese music playing and there are band credits but you never see them. The music got me thinking I think it would be a cool idea to play Traditional Chinese music as hard rock or even Metal, I have no idea how it would be done but it could be pretty cool. Maybe it could be some type of mash up. The next thing I watched was "The Protector " that was a neat Martial arts movie. I like that it went it a different way. Those who are into fighting sports know of a fighting type called Maui Thai. I have seen a few fights on a reality show and it looks pretty brutal to me. The basic of the story is that Kings get power from elephants. Ok not a big elephant fan but that is a pretty interesting idea. So there are these protectors who protect the elephants because of there one weakness. As in a lot of Kung Fu movies the bad guys are never rightous and greedy and aren't even close to being good. They wind up taking the elephants so the protector goes to get his elephants back. There is a lot of fighting. One thing I found cool was that when bones break you here the snap and almost maybe even a crackle. I won't give away the ending for anyone who hasn't seen it. But one thing I will say is that it does look like some of it was really shot in Thailand with Asian elephants the one elephant kinda has a look like he is sad but maybe that has something to do with his coloring. The big elephant has tusks often you don't see that.

There is so much good and interesting TV on Sunday night it can't all be watched. Tonight I'll catch up on Entourage and Flight of the Con-chords. I have allways been a Fan of the Series the Dead Zone it is pretty cool and it seems like they are taking the show in another direction and I like that direction it is going in. I will admit that I'm not sure about "John from Cincinatti". I like the show but it is weird and takes some time to warm up to. The positives it is about surfing and has a great cast; Luke Perry, Ed O'neil, Rebeca De Mora, and a few other actors I have seen before but who's names I don't know. Then on Showtime there is a series called Medowlands. It is a suburb but it seems as if everyone there is in some kind of witness protection. But it is very dark and people have secerts and one lady is sleeping around. What I find interesting also is I assume it is in America but I think that is wrong because it sounds like everyone is British. I'm sure over time more will be found out. I should do a little research on my own and find out.

Why am I inside when it is gorgeous out. Oh yeah cause I don't know where to hang out, out side I guess. I'm looking forward to Seeing Bill Maher on friday. I have seen some of his comedy and I think it is funny, so I hope it is a great night. I wish I could report on all the amazing concerts and shows coming to this area but that would be impossible you pretty much have to read the Gusto, Artvoice and other papers to see everything that is going on, on a weekly basis. This just covers Buffalo then you have Rochester (assuming you drive) and Toronto. If a band you like isn't coming to Buffalo then they maybe going to the place at Canada's Wonderland. I also thought that I should mention that I think in August the CNE or as it is now called The EX is in Toronto I believe I haven't been to that in a long time, I should really look that up. I have no idea if they are still playing but Toronto has a MLS soccer team who plays at a Soccer only stadium. I believe that stadum is on the CNE grounds. I have no idea what I'm doing for the 4th of July if anything Maybe I'll just go see "The Transformers". Also in August is Americas Fair and that has I think 3 events in the grand stand I want to see. But the next concert for me is Thursday "The Violent Fems". Yeah so I don't know any of there music but maybe I'll just take pictures of the crowd. June 28th Jeff Martin of From the Tea Party is coming back I would like to see him again but I gotta remember to get tickets. I think in Aug. Margaret Cho is coming to Kleinhans. I have seen her on TV and sometimes she is very funny so that is another thing to check into. One thing that i like about Buffalo is that there is so much to do. The one problem is that some TV shows like the Dead Zone start up and other shows and if they are shows you like it is hard to see them when there is so much fun stuff to do. I know another sort of boaring post. But when you wake up early for work you can't be going out drinking till you puke on a hot chick.

On Thursday I had a good time at the square. I enjoyed all 3 bands The opening band was called The Rev and the Headliners where the Violent Fems. I thought the fems where very good even with only like knowing one of there songs. I ran into (e:chico) there and we talked for a few. Again when I run into someone the camera doesn't take pictures cause you are just thinking about talking. Here are some pictures that kinda reflect the scene. I didn't get any the middle band who was pretty good also, I guess you have to be to win a Juno award.

This first picture was a tester from my house since the multiple upload wasn't working but now it is.






That is the Rath Building before the show and nice flower shots also.




I few pictures of The Rev (firefox and (e:strip) are acting starnge today everything just got huge)




Now some pictures of the scene.
















The violent fems hit the stage.












I have this thing for tattoos assuming they are good ones on girls. I couldn't see what the symbol was but I believe it said Fuck Love.








Well I hope the entire post is here since I had to restore backup cause my stupid sister wants to play game and put the cat on me and the cats feet are all over the keyboard. In any event I had a good time on Thursday. Oh yeah and Bill Maher was funny last night. A lot of his jokes I had heard before but still very funny. Oh yeah on a side note if you can't go out to drink than walking past bars can be kinda depressing, I learned that on Thursday. But i did check out someone I knew who was playing at OPM so that was fun.
3 pictures I missed. in the conffussion:

Well if anyone read my previous post I just wanted to add that there is a 3rd part of what I want and that is to not deal with people. That entire thing of what movie do you want to see and when do you want to see it and just working out what we both want to see and can live with. Not that it is really a bad thing but sometimes that can be stressfull. That is the one good example that I can use. I guess maybe another one would be finding out if the person you are with wants to go to a certain concert or event before you wind up getting tickets. Then if they aren't sure thenyou get caught not knowing how many tickets to get. So because of that being alone or at least not having someone to check in with is a nice freedom. That being said I did wind up going to a movie this afternoon with my sis we went to see Oceans 13. I liked it and she did to. I didn't see 12 but I did see 11. So I don't know if any of this story had any connections to 12 or not. The movie seemed to be its own thing and I understood it all. But maybe if I saw 12 there would be more meaning to it, not sure but I had a good time. It was nice to sleeep in this morning and not be tired since I never made it out of the house to see Jackdaw last night. I just didn't feal right and was kinda tired. I wish I had something exciting to post but I don't, who knows maybe someday.
