I had no idea Buffalo did something like this for Mardi Gras!!! Guess there's always next year.

Kuni's is no longer next door to me - that's what I mean by loss.
janelle - 02/06/08 12:20
Loss of Kuni's? It's on Lexington.
jason - 02/06/08 12:11
Too bad about the Sushi bar, although it seems they just didn't have their shit together.

And the bagel place - when it was Manhattan Bagel I remember it being pretty popular. I used to go get a toasted bagel with lox.

Man, my block is barren now. Let's face it, after Kuni's went away, Buffalo didn't have an appetite for other sushi. I still mourn the loss of Kuni's.

I wonder what will go in Kibarashi's place? It is a pretty small property.
mrmike - 02/06/08 11:28
Wow, that parade was moving fast!!

Sorry to see the sushi place go under. Along with the bagel place, that block is starting to look a little desolate. Spot's expansion ain't going to counter that.

kibirashi will always have a special place in my heart. It's the restaurant where we sat and ate dinner and decided to buy our house. It was an exciting night.

I'm sorry it's owned by a jerk.

Alhough i hate to see another Elmwood strip business close, the guy that owns (owned?) kibirashi is a scumbag. I work with someone who USED to work for him as well. He stopped paying his staff and owes them, well, at least one employee, for 2 months of wages. Serves the bastard right.

:( at the kibarashi portion of your post.

Oldie but goodie...

Reminds me of something you might see on "The Man Show" that was a funny show sometimes.
james - 02/04/08 15:57
he sometimes makes me put on baby oil and chop carrots with a radial saw...

Vote Tomorrow!
Category: politics
Primary day is tomorrow. Won't you feel better after you've voted? If you're a Democrat your voice is actually heard for once in the Presidential primary, since everything is still up in the air.
dcoffee - 02/04/08 23:39
Yep, in NYS primaries are more important than the general election, since the Electoral College makes us a "blue state" tomorrow's vote is the one that matters most.

My voting policy, If there is any election where you don’t have a candidate you believe in, show up and vote third party as a protest. Voting third party is a strong statement, staying home is not.

mrdeadlier, you vote for Ron Paul is definitely not lost, take your party back.
james - 02/04/08 14:16
I still need to drag three more people to the polls to vote for Obama.

I will buy you a drink for it. And I will have you know there is great historical precedent for buying a vote with a drink. It is an especially honored tradition in New York. So come on!
mrdeadlier - 02/04/08 14:01
You mean my voice won't be heard when I vote for Ron Paul tomorrow?

Yeah, I guess you're right. :(

E:Strip Dinner: Feb 16 at 7pm
Category: estrip
Saturday February 16th at 7pm is the proposed date for the next (e:strip) dinner, to be held at Casa-di-Pizza. This is the last call for changes/scheduling conflicts.

Last time we had 20+ people and it was lots of fun. I think the cost was around $9/each not including alcoholic drinks?

Some photos from a previous dinner:

mrmike - 02/09/08 18:48
Probably won't be able to make the saturday version
metalpeter - 02/03/08 10:57
Wow how did I miss read that as 16 I thought it said 19th, that I could have made. I can't make it I'll be at a Bandits game but I hope all you have a great time. I figured I wouldn't be able to make it since I have 3 things in a row but I hope everyone else has a great time.
jim - 02/02/08 22:03
If we can't do it there I will find somewhere else I suppose.
mrmike - 02/02/08 21:28
Might be a little tough getting that room on a Saturday night, but what the hell....
lilho - 02/02/08 19:56
a ho is the only one who really knows how to get it done!
jim - 02/02/08 19:54
Thanks, Mike!
mrmike - 02/02/08 19:29
whatever
jim - 02/02/08 16:12
I'll change the date to the 16th, unless MrMike or metalpeter object?
drew - 02/02/08 16:05
Those are both better for me :)
jim - 02/02/08 16:04
The weekends are tougher, I'll have to see if I can reserve the side room, let me check it out and I'll post back here if we can switch it.

Is Sat 16th or Sun 17th good for everyone else?
lilho - 02/02/08 15:59
excuse me but, cant you have it like that weekend? i was one of the original members, and ill be in town the 15th-18th.
mrmike - 02/02/08 15:57
I'm in
jim - 02/02/08 15:25
Yeah, the 14th would have been kinda presumptuous of me :)
metalpeter - 02/02/08 15:16
It sounds Like I can make it and that it will be allot of fun. I think not having it on the actual day is a good idea. The reason is that some people might have something to do on "Vday".
