Crazy People
I saw this posed on WGRZ.com tonight.



WTF, are people thinking?? This must have been a late night run on a Friday or Saturday because the subway is usually not that full. I totally did not expect that one guy getting his ass pounded. I can see how things get blown out of proportion like this though. Many people in a small area all moving around and bumping into each other.

I have never been in a fight in my life. I hope that never happens but I have been close. I think that everyone could make this world a better place by sticking to their own business. Taunting enrages me!

i am heading to your cube right now to punch you in the face

It was kinda hard to see what really happened with all the people in the way and the quality of the video. Except it looked like the big white dude was throwing blows and then get sucker punched by someone else a few times. Sometimes the train can get pretty packed I head something about ahmerhst so it could have been College kids who knows or sometimes you do get a lot of young people on the train at once.

A fine wedding weekend
This past weekend we attended a wedding at the Buffalo Marina on the U.S.S. Little Rock. The couple that exchanged their vows is a very Buffalo couple. They had chocolate favors that were little Buffalos. The rain was not really a problem at all since they have a tent that covers the back of the ship. I think there were about 100 guests and the seating was a little tight. However, being on the water kind of made it magical. It was like being at a Naval party while the ship is in port or something. It is nice to only have 4 weddings this summer and not 6 like last year.

Never knew they had weddings there. Hmmm... Good use for war wrecks...

First parenting class tonight....
I thought it was very informative. The class was held at Sisters Hospital where we plan to deliver our son. This was more of a getting ready for birth versus the whole parenting aspect. We watched a few 80's informational videos that had some really styling workout suits and some awesome big hair. The whole process is so amazing considering that the baby was so small when this all started. I would have to say the highlight of the whole first class was when they took all of us down to the maternity unit. We got to see a baby that was only a few hours old. How about that for a reality check? In just a few short months (or less) I will be in the same boat. Hopefully he is a healthy happy kid!!

Star Wars with the RPO
Last night we went to see the RPO (Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra) play various pieces from the Star Wars movies. The event was held at the performing arts center in Canandaigua. The weather was perfect for an outdoor concert. After the intermission they played pieces called The Planets that was the inspiration for the Star Wars music. Almost every planet was showcased with a musical piece along with images that NASA has taken over the years.

Getting into the venue was very frustrating. They were saying we could not bring in food but the sign outside said you could. After arguing for about 10 min with security we just walked right in. We had a grocery bag with food in it and later on people were bringing in coolers with wheels on them. That's what happens when you have rent-a-cop security.

We bought lawn seats for the event and it was great to lay down look up in the sky and listen to the Starwars themes that we all know and love. They even had people dressed up like Stormtroopers, Obe-Wan, Princess Leia and Luke Skywalker.

The main reason we went is there was a friend of our playing with the RPO. He is a trumpet player that lives in NY but he has subed for the RPO several times so we always try to see him when he is here. He is a huge Star Wars fan so I can imagine this was very exciting for him.

I miss RPO concerts. They have a lot more free concerts than the BPO because they play a lot at Eastman's Audi.
metalpeter - 07/13/08 10:44
Sounds like a good time I know it is the RPO and not the BPO but I have never been to any of those where the play all music from Starwars, Pink Floyd, Video Games or any other special event like that. I have heard the RPO is very good so I hope it had a great time. I'm guessing You Shouldn't just Blame Security they can only go by what they where told and it wouldn't surprise me if different people where told different things, if they worked for the venue instead of being hired by the venue I'm guessing that problem wouldn't have happened. It is also very possible that they where told something along the lines of Coolers must be checked or no drinks (meaning no alcohol) and the message was lost. Sorry about the security problem and I hope that was the only problem, maybe if you let the place know about this other then just blogging about it then that might make the problem not happen again.
