XXX Rated Pornographic Pervert XXX

Here is the point where you all find out what my true interests in life are... This post may or may not have been alluded to in previous entries....


so here is the deal. I need to find out some information on adult stores in the buffalo area.

1. Where are they? I saw two stores up on Elmwood that are practically across from eachother. I think both of them look like old warehouses. Kind of scary and I don't think I'm interested. Are there any not scary ones around?

2. Where can i find zoning information about adult stores? Say if one of the e-strippers here was interested in opening a store in buffalo that looked more like a Brookstones than a dirty warehouse peep store? Where might that e-stripper find this info out?

3. In the mean time, are there any (not blockbuster) video rental stores that may or may not have an adult video section that might not be full of only titles such as "AssMan goes to Vegas?"

All of your information will be highly appreciated. And if you are afraid to speak up, you may send me an email or post it and I won't tell a soul (except maybe lauren) as to where the info comes from.

Thanks Peeps!

okay i guess i have to do some more research on the ones around the city... i just can't seem to find them listed online...

Last time I went past second skin they still had stuff in the windows that looked like they never took it. I had never been in there. I knew they sold leather clothes and things like that but I didn't know they sold sex stuff to, wish I did then. The rummor I heard is that they where busted for having sex parties in the back by the cops. If that is true I'm not sure if that would be enough to keep them closed. There used to be a sex shop right on elmwood with big glass windows but they only sold sex aides and no videos. In terms of sex shops that weren't mentioned I guess there is some huge place out around Hamburg and there are a few other around the city but I don't know how to explain where they are exactly. Oh yeah there is one on the chip strip and I think it is in a great location. In terms of zoning I can't help you there.
fellyconnelly - 08/16/07 11:21
(e:imk2) - this sounds great! i'll take a walk down allen street today and check it all out... i'm assuming that if there was one there - that means there is a pretty good chance that zoning laws will allow one to be there!
thanks for the info!
lauren - 08/16/07 10:48
Drew- that is indeed her real name and it gets better: Wazina Bibi Zondon...and Afghani name if you are curious. And it is wah-zee-nah, which thankfully is a little more difficult to rhyme with :)
imk2 - 08/16/07 00:24
my ex's brother used to own an adult store right on allen street called second skin. he closed it down a couple of years ago. not sure why, possibly because he was moving on to bigger and better things, but i think that store front is still empty. you could possibly look into opening up something there. i've never been in there, but from what i hear, it was a pretty cool place. not scummy at all.
drew - 08/15/07 22:11
Is her name pronounced WAH ZEE NA or WAH ZI NAH?

and if it is the latter, is that her real name? Cause you'd think people would make too many rhymes, given her career choice.
fellyconnelly - 08/15/07 21:24
Wow thanks for the info all!

www.shevibe.com

in conjunction with these peeps, i am looking into the possibility of opening up an adult store that doesn't make you feel dirty or uncomfortable walking into. a classy joint, ya know?

but i need to know where i can find out the zoning regulations in buffalo. i can't seem to find anything online...

oh and my friends from back in new paltz have their own 'home party' business. wazina is also a peer educator for planned parenthood, but as a sexual health educator - she is very informative! in the aforementioned link you will find her featured in the 'whats up wazina' section...
ajay - 08/15/07 20:59
Pics, (e:jenks)! Pics!!

I remember the adult store at the corner of Elmwood and Amherst. I'm not aware of any others.

Have you checked across the border? Canada might have several.

Of course, nothing can beat our very own Good Vibrations :::link:::

jenks - 08/15/07 20:07
the tupperware-party style of sex toy sales seems to be all the rage these days, too. One of my friends is having a 'party' soon....
james - 08/15/07 19:30
The Great American Book Store is on Niagara. The staff are three men in their 60;s. There is practically no heat in the place so in winter they are all wearing fingerless gloves and scarves. It is really Dicansian.

The one across from Dickie's Doughnuts on Elmwood has been fun to go to. They don't actually have much there but the staff is always hilariously helpful. Seriously, they act like they work in home depot and you are aimlessly looking at floor tile just waiting for a friendly "May I help you choose a Dildo today, sir?"

But, insertables aside I get all my fun, fun stuff at www.ExtremeRestraints.com and www.FortTroft.com
zobar - 08/15/07 19:22
1&2: As far as I can tell, the Porn District is on Elmwood Ave between Amherst & Hertel: not prime real estate. I have not seen any sex shops anywhere else - certainly nothing along the lines of a Babeland :::link::: . There is a relatively new local company called manache :::link::: ['muh-nash' not 'man-ache'] which I believe is all mail order and tupperware party.

3: Hie thee to Mondo Video [3268 Main St, 881-1953] before they close.

Will I be a bills fan again?
Category: football
Okay so ten years ago I moved from the Thousand Islands in waaaay upstate NY to New Paltz, NY in order to go to college.
this move marks the time in which i severed all relations to the Buffalo Bills.

I went from knowing everything to knowing nothing. I came from the era of Bruce Smith, Thurman Thomas, Jim Kelly, Lofton, Reich, Tasker, Hull, etc... man... those were the days that i thought the world was ending on a byweek. I was left elated, and deflated every sunday and the occasional monday...

then... nothing... i didn't even watch football. i might have even forgotten how the whole thing worked... even if i wanted to watch football, i would have been surrounded by giants and jets fans. my heart wasn't in it.
well now here i am... in buffalo. what a perfect opportunity to regain my interest in football, right? relearn all the players? watch every game and maybe even GO to one? oh what a concept!

only problem is that lauren hates sports. Hates the competativeness of it all. (obviously this doesn't apply to when she plays frogger or scrabble)

so now i have to convince her that it is all in good fun. or i should just give up. she has already said she is more likely to get into hockey than football - but i don't care enough about hockey... so... only time will tell i guess...
fellyconnelly - 08/17/07 13:39
i know there was a coed frat - mostly was theater students and whatnot - lauren's bro was a member... but it did use greek letters so i'm not sure...
jenks - 08/15/07 20:16
totally off topic- but you do know anything about a coed fraternity in New Paltz? Apparently it doesn't have a greek name... I just know a friend was (is?) in this fraternity, and has a shirt that just says "new paltz alumni" which I thought was weird.
fellyconnelly - 08/15/07 17:48
and james - the Dungeon Masters rule may or may not have made more sense to me than I will ever let on.
fellyconnelly - 08/15/07 17:32
oooo this is gettin good!

but really lauren will be way too busy with school and books and whatnot... so - all the time in the world i get!
drew - 08/15/07 17:26
Hey, wait, Leetee totally slammed you, Drew, and you didn't get it.
And I have Gilmore Girls on DVD so I get Gilmore Girls time whenever, wherever...
janelle - 08/15/07 17:24
Oh, hell yeah, you're on the couch by yourself tonight, byatch!
jason - 08/15/07 15:46
Hahaha. Brilliant, Drew!
drew - 08/15/07 14:52
She agreed to the deal when we got married. It's not my fault she didn't realize the NFL would outlast some crappy-whiny-girl show.

Dang. Now I sleep alone tonight.
leetee - 08/15/07 14:49
psstt... (e:Drew), that deal you have with (e:Janelle) kinda bites. The Gilmore Girls had the final show in the spring. How fair is it you get to watch all new NOT re-run sports and all she gets is re-runs of the world's best show?!
drew - 08/15/07 14:37
Ditch lauren and watch football. (E:Janelle) and I have a deal--she gets to watch Gilmore Girls and I get to watch football. Maybe Lauren would like to watch some old gilmore girls DVD's with her, and we can watch football. (Although I like watching the Steelers more, I plan to keep up with the Bills since I am a Buffalo guy now.
james - 08/15/07 14:03
There has been a few changes to the game since you left. For your benefit I will list and describe them below:

The 40-yard rule: If the ball is within 40-yards of the opponents goal, it is considered off-sides and control of the ball is given to the other team.

Never too late for sandwiches rule: In the event that the highest paying endorsement by any member of the home team is exceeded by the guest team that member of the guest team will provide endorsement for a local eating establishment, free of charge.

Dungeon Master's rule: if referees cannot come to an agreement a single member of each time will do combat with a Dungeons & Dragons character each wearing banded armor and caring a 1D6 long sword. No saving throws for acid damage.
jason - 08/15/07 13:45
Both sports have their merits. Both force the athlete to make some very, very quick decisions. Both have hard hits. With football you have to deal with TV breaks every damn 30 seconds. With hockey that is not the case.

If you do go back to the Bills, I give you credit!
lauren - 08/15/07 13:40
Uhhhhhhh. Football sucks.

why lauren doesn't drive
(e:lauren) said i never let her drive.
so today i made her drive
and she gets flipped off by somebody....

i don't even know what happened - i was daydreaming with my feet on the dash looking out into the bidwell park and we passed a car and there was a big ol bird waving at us.

well i guess lauren is too crazy a driver...
lauren - 08/15/07 13:40
I did not deserve that bird!

all i want for christmas
Category: randomo
I want a 42" tall rectangular pub table.

due to the excessive height of our stools
we need a tall table.
it needs to be long and narrow to fit into the area that we need it to fit into.

if anyone has one of these laying around... well you just let me know.
thanks
fellyconnelly - 08/14/07 18:38
i do check craigslist occasionally... its funny because what we are looking for is so damn specific - we can't even find it online!
like a shower curtain that will match our bathroom - it eludes us!
chico - 08/14/07 13:20
felly,

I have had remarkable success finding desirable furniture, media, and electronics items on buffalo.craigslist.org this summer. Among the items I've located and bought from people who advertised on craigslist:

--IKEA coffee table
--vintage stereo speakers (garage sale found on CL)
--direct-drive turntable
--used records and CDs (various sales, garage and direct)
--IKEA bookshelf
--kitchen table w/4 matching chairs
--chrome baker's rack

None of these items has cost Ami or me more than about $30, most were less.

I'd scan/search the "furniture" listings each day, and if nothing turns up, maybe post a "table wanted" kind of ad. Check "garage sales" and "household" as well.

jobby job job
Category: good times
i guess i have a job. she said she would email me the offer letter anyway. thats fun.
i guess i was nervous during the first interview - she said i didn't really relax till the last ten minutes or so. okay, i guess i did better this time around...

anyway

we ordered from Just Pizza last night. Can I tell you that a Chicken Club Pizza is the most amazing pizza ever? i can't stop eating it. i had some for breakfast. and then i had another slice for lunch. it needs to be gone soon because i can't think of anything other than how damn good that pizza is.

and now we venture off to NOT ELMWOOD PET SUPPLY to purchase some cat food that doesn't list sweet potatos, cranberries and apples in their ingredients. We are horrible parents, but i think science diet is a just fine food for my horribly fat and lazy cats.

(E:James) and (E:Jim) - you must think us heathens to feed our kitties such crappy food (hehe)

later on peeps!
fellyconnelly - 08/13/07 21:00
i thought i was spoiling the hell out of my cat with science diet. but then i come from a long line of cat haters so i'm jaded.

i would love to give them nothing but fresh killed meat every day, but i'm no rockafella, i'm just a rock a felly.
(i made that up just now - i'm so clever.)
james - 08/13/07 20:13
We feed out (e:fuckingcat) only the highest quality in the $6-$10/lb range. Which excludes most of the stuff at the elmwood store. I like to know what ever ingredient in my food is, but not so with my cat.
leetee - 08/13/07 19:01
You would think Elmwood Pet would have all kinds of pet food. Huh, funny.

Congrats on the almost job! Great Birthday Pressie, a job!
libertad - 08/13/07 16:10
That does seem weird. Since when do cats eat sweet potatoes and things like that? e.pet supply does have Evo for them fatties. Its high protein Atkins type diet which makes sense for cats because I believe they are carnivorous. The worst ingredient I suppose would be corn which is your basic filler on the cheapest foods. At least you don't feed them Alley Cat.
