unibroue
Category: good times

Went to Allen Street Hardware last night for joey's art opening. I have never been here before but it really is a neat little hole in the wall. also the glass that my hoegarden came in was awesome.

why yes you are right, it DOES seem to be german for 'unibrow!'. or something like that.

The breakdance battle was... AWESOME. as per usual. the dancers were exceptional this time and it makes me want to take monday night classes which involve actual breaking than toprocking on wednesday.

anyway.... i need to finish this jigsaw puzzle.

(e:james) - that is exactly what he did to us...

(e:lauren) says: Do you have blue moon?
bartender: no but blue moon is an imitation wheat beer, may i recommend the real thing that you will like better?

us: sure!

thus hogarden. which i knew of before i actually started enjoying beer.

but (e:vincent) - i would imaging PBR would be much cheaper than the fancy smancy beers that they have there...

vincent - 01/27/08 23:27
I feel guilty every time I go in there due to the fact that I just drink PBR. With all of their selection like the pic above, it just doesn't seem right.

The last time I was at hardware I asked for a dark, dark, dark beer and the bartender says he has something I will like better... I have the label from that beer bottle in my wallet. It was so freakin delicious. That bar has such a good beer list only it has a home for German unibrow beer.

mongolian shoe barbeque
Category: randomo

I had full intentions of going to the Buffalo Psychic Fair last evening at the hearthstone manor. I wanted a reading.

Then my sore throat developed into the "s" word. Cough, Tight lungs, general weakness of body. I would have gone and they would have said "you have been feeling under the weather lately" and then charge me $50.

So I stayed home and (e:lauren) and I started putting together a jigsaw puzzle. Its kind of like one of those cheesy blacklight posters with dolphins and whatnot. We didn't finish, but at least I have something to look forward to for Sunday.

Tonight after work we are going to the Hardware Cafe around 6ish to see the art of Joey Buczek. He is a coworker of mine. We like to commiserate about the end of the world and ancient prophecies.

Then off to the breakdancing battle! Battle at Buffalo!
If anybody is interested in showing up it is $5 bucks and the door money goes right to the winner of the battle. It is on Main street right next to/above the Hyatt's art store. Very good times and great dancing!

Also - I designed a puma shoe that I want. But I can't show it to you because the computer that I am on sucks. But you can go to www.puma.com and check out the mongolian shoe barbeque and design your own kicks!

(e:james)... sometimes you scare me... just a little..

never has so much purple and pink been assembled without a unicorn in the foreground. That site is awesome.

Feel better soon.

bandits: a review
Category: good times

Bandits game? well it was damn cool. photo dump one day soon when i actually find the cord. And have time.

(E:lauren) had a damn good time too - though i'm sure that the free beer might have had something to do with it.

It was a really great time for all though. We got one of the game rooms absolutely chocked full of food We had everything from pizza and salads to pulled pork, chicken, and roast beef carved right by our own special beef carving wench. I think we were also allowed to whip her if she carved our beef too thin, but i was too drunk to try.

we also had seats in the stadium - so we could run in for beer/cheesecake and run back out for the game. it was damn good!

i have to say that the first half of the game i was just cheering when everybody else cheered, and laughing at the crazy people in general - and then i really started getting into it and i loved it! it kind of makes me really wish that (e:lauren) enjoyed sports so we could go to games more often.

We also hit the pearl street grille afterwards. Chocked full of... well... guys... but it was good times i guess.

oh and we didn't in fact take the subway - spent ten bucks on a parkin spot. it took four extra dollars than it would have for the subway i guess. ah well..

oh and yesterday at work with a hangover sucked.

metalpeter - 01/21/08 17:31
Glad you had a good time and hope you get to go to another game some time.

fellyconnelly - 01/21/08 14:00
anything with 'wench' at the end is in fact a little slice of heaven. except she was busted... but maybe thats rude of me.. hehe

james - 01/21/08 10:47
a beef carving wench? that sounds like a little slice of heaven.

mrmike - 01/21/08 10:19
The suites are pretty sweet

aye bandito!
Category: good times

Next stop.... bandits game!

okay i should be getting ready for work - which means... perfect time to update estrip!

I'll be working down in springville tonight - and closing up shop with just enough time to tear the hell out of there and get home to hit the rail to HSBC to the bandits game.

speaking of the rail... haven't taken it before - from the summer street station to HSBC arena - what is it a buck fifty? is it any different then NYC subways? i feel like such a noob.

i guess we have both seats in the 202 section as well as the game room that we have full access to. and the game rooms have one way glass in case there is a raunchy party going on inside. considering my co-workers..... yeah...

anyways... i guess i should go make my delightful breakfast shake and get my ass in the shower. this was an eventful post wasn't it?

metalpeter - 01/19/08 10:53
Have a great time. The subway does go a long way from UB all the way to HSBC Arena or the AUD depending on how you look at it. It was never meant to take over for buses hence the light rail and since it is run by the same company it never would have. What it does is connect the city for people who go to main then go some place and go to the other side of town, that is what it was really made for. From what I understand the Main St bus you really couldn't do that with cause it didn't run much. That being said did the train not go out to the burbs because they thought they couldn't get those people into the city or was it because the burbs didn't want the blacks going out to see them. Reason it didn't go out to UB is that UB allready has it own shuttle (no idea how it runs) that goes out to the other campus. Lets Go BAndits!!! Lets go Bandits!!! Lets Go Bandits!!!!

mrmike - 01/19/08 09:57
The NYC subway actually goes someplace...

paul - 01/19/08 08:54
What makes it really different is that it only goes one way back and forth and only has one level. So pretty much nothing like the NYC one and its pretty impossible to get lost.

leetee - 01/19/08 08:46
Yep. $1.50. And it's NOTHING like the NYC subway. Or anything i have ever been on. It's actually rather Mickey Mouse in comparision. No offense to Mickey. If i remember correctlyl, they go on the honour system. If you are transfering from a bus, just keep the transfer. The rail goes above ground (and is free) past the Allen station towards downtown.

Have fun at the game.

I should be shovelling...
