World of Wheels 2008 updated
Category: photos
So today I went to The World Of Wheels at the convention center. I got there and there was a pretty good crowd but it wasn't too bad you could see all the cars. Some of them where classics and then some where pimped out and then some where motorcycles. I had a good time and really liked the Hamburger I got. I won't post all my pictures but I'll put up a lot of random ones. Here they are:

If you made it to the bottom of these pictures then I would say you like cars and should go to the convention center. It was $12 and I had a coupon that took $3 off that price. It didn't get picked randomly but I also didn't go to the end of my photos either but there is this really cool huge Motorcycle there that with out seeing it is hard to describe. The mustang room is pretty cool to. There is so me amazing paint jobs on some vechiles. The things with pictures is that the show only part of the car you can't really see the interior or all the angles. There was this one pretty sweet looking car with skulls on in black and white. I don't have my pictures up on Webshots yet but hopefully Sunday I will have time to put them up. My computer is moving slow otherwise more pictures would have gone up. I will admit that there where a couple cars I saw last year like that semi but the ones that I did where pretty cool. There was a Bently there and a few really nice classic cars there also.

Hey why not throw in a bonus 6 pictures and see what we get.

Just to clear one thing up the reason that the photos are random is first of all it would take to long to put them all up here. Second of all and more importantly I guess with my old camera the software was different and when you used estrip you knew what the picture (small version) was but now you don't so I just do it randomly. Hope if people read this it didn't bore you or if you did that you went to another journal.

I just wanted to add that I have a lot of my pictures on photo hosting site called webshots. I myself like that site a lot. I think it is a great site to put pictures up on. Back to the car show, I wanted to remind everyone that it is still going on today I think from like 10 to 10 but not sure I'm not sure if this will show up as a link or not but if anyone wants to the can at least copy and paste the link then. My webshots album isn't in order that I took the pictures but nothing is timely so it doesn't really matter.

3rd snow post
Category: snow
So first of all in my last post I mentioned world of wheels that is currently going on, I'll be going on Saturday sometime and hopefully that will be my next post. So I was going to write about the snow and this is currently the 3rd one about it from today. So here are my thoughts about the snow.

First of all since in don't snowboard or ski I'm sick of the snow and winter. One of the reasons why winter seems so long is because it can snow around Halloween and still snow at easter. I have had easter dinner (late in the year) and it has snowed before. But the other reason is the way the year is broken up by winter. The new year starts during the winter and then ends again in the winter so it makes it seem even longer then it is.

So I had heard that there was a snow fall warning or what ever they call it. As it rained last night I didn't think it would turn to snow but it sure did. I wish when I woke up this morning I took my camera out side. The snow was so pretty. It was the way it just kinda sat on the trees and it really looked very nice. So it was odd that it looked pretty and yet you could be tired of it at the same time. That being said I wouldn't be shocked to see it snow one more time during this early spring season. But that is Buffalo it is better then floods and Huricaines so I guess the snow isn't so bad in comparison.

World OF Wheels this weekend
Category: events


This weekend is the world of wheels custom car show. Last year was pretty cool. I assume that the cars won't be the same this year. I thought I would put up a few pictures from last years show.

The Thing I liked is that there was a good variety of cars. You had a mustang club room that was all mustangs. Then there was a custom room. That had things that I would call pimped like a golf cart with tv's and a truck with flip up doors and the entire back area speakers. Then of course you have the classic style cars. then there are the classic with the new fancy flames. Then there are muscle cars. There where even trucks and Motorcycles. I really liked the painted semi truck. I thought it was a lot of fun last year and there site mentions there main car will be a big surprise and I wonder what it will be this year.

I didn't really read any old blogs from last year. But when I was looking up the pictures they were in the same album of St.Mats. A quick recap shows (e:lilho), (e:ingrid),(e:jenks), (e:theecarey), bubbles and a bunch of other (e:peeps). That doesn't seem like it was over a year ago but I guess it was.

Bandits Easter
So I hope everyone is having or had a nice Easter, and for those of you who are Polish Dyngus Day on Monday. Mine has been pretty good so far. Last Night was the Toronto Rock Vs. Bandits game and the Bandits did wind up losing. Since I don't have that many pictures going up to explain what happened (buff news has a story in the sports section). The bandits where out played and looked like they where playing wildly. They had to change goalies near the end the one guy had faced 50 some shots. It is to bad Buffalo couldn't have played better, I still had a good time, but a win or at least a better game would have been good. Buffalo got out to a quick lead and then Toronto changed goalies and got much better after that. Even though Here are a few Random pictures.

The Weird thing is that when the bandits don't win putting up the pictures really isn't that fun. For those of you who know about my webshots page last weekend when I went to see the monster trucks I put up pictures on it, if any of you care about that. Next weekend is going to be another very heavy weekend of picture taking I planning of going to the World Of Wheels at the convention center it was a lot of fun last year and they had a lot of amazing rides (cars and stuff).

St. Pats Jackdaw 2008
Category: photos
So if anyone read my previous very long picture Blog before this I said I would get into Jackdaw this time. I will admit I did have a good time at Club W. I was not expecting the Cover to be $10 that seems like a lot not that it is to see the band I wanted to see. Maybe it was just the green but man oh man where there a bunch of hoties there oh yeah and there where some sexy bartenders also. When I went to bet my first drink it was tough to get one. First of all there where lots of distractions like to sexy ladies to my right and left (ones to the left took the place of the guys they where with you weren't getting attention from the bar maids). There where really a lot of people at the bar and I felt this cute yeah I could tell she was sexy with out seeing her trying to get to the bar so I slide over and she wound up getting me a drink, well it was really the guys who wouldn't take money from her and then she wouldn't take money from me so that was cool, so thanks a lot that was really cool cause she saw I was really at the bar a long time. So Again thank you. Later when I went up it had thinned out some and wasn't as bad. Music wise I thought Jackdaw was pretty good, I only know some of there stuff. I will admit that these pictures may be dark not sure how they will look until after this is posted. But here they are:

It just dawned on me that with not knowing how they will look on here that I now have plenty of pictures up. I also saw two girls dancing with each other and that was kinda hot. They where all about dancing with each other. I also saw some guys do the same thing but it wasn't even the same. They do the hold each other around the neck and dance all over the place kinda crazy style where as the girls are more in there own little area. I had a great time and hope everyone had a great holiday.

I haven't gone in yet but I did see that this store is now open.

Ah, my sexy friend david. I wanted to go, but got stuck at work. :(

(the band is actually "taking a break" though, which is kind of a bummer.)
metalpeter - 03/19/08 17:30
I'm not a dancer my self but they are fun and make you want to dance (not that I do). I have seen them do a summer show but not in some time (doesn't mean they won't) It would be really cool to see you at a Jackdaw show again.
ladycroft - 03/19/08 14:54
Maybe Jackdaw will play over summer just so I can see them. I'll ask Dave for a personal favor ;)
mrmike - 03/18/08 21:14
Looks like a good time. Sorry I couldn't partake
