Danielle Woodman - Terry's Friend?
Category: web

So (e:terry) left his facebook signed in and I decided to search for people I knew in Buffalo that I cared to find out about in order to see if it was worth joining. The problem is the people I cared about in any way - I pretty much have contact with and the rest of the people I knew, I don't really care if I know them anymore as I would have kept contact.

That coupled with the fact that the few people I could possibly care about don't seem to be on the internet at all, or are woman with new last names I have no idea about, or are form foreign countries and don't seem to be on facebook.

Then I saw this:

Just as I was about to quit looking, she magically showed up as someone that (e:Terry) should be friends with because of their mutual friends with Nameless Bitch and (e:gaylynnemup). What a small world. I guess it is Buffalo after all but really what are the chances of that, especially considering the two of them are not Buffalonians, (e:terry) is no a Buffalonian and she graduated high school like 3 years before I did. Maybe (e:terry) is a Buffalonian now. I guess he spent more of his adult year here than anywhere else.

Danielle contributed a lot to my growing up, even though we knew each other for such a short time - I would say during that time I changed from being a kid to being a semi-adult and no I do not mean this in a sexual way. It would be so interesting to get to talk to her now

Maybe Nameless Bitch can invite her to our holloween party?

holy shit, that's crazy! Hi Danielle! little bit nuts.

paul - 09/28/08 09:40
I still can't believe it;) I sent you an email.

ellie - 09/28/08 01:40
Hey Paul!,

It's Danielle! It is a small world. How are you? Are you on Facebook too? I'd love to hear about what you've been up to!

Love,
Danielle

Little bit of Rave history
Category: music

So my favoritest of favorite raves was this one Syrous party at Cinespace in Toronto. It was some giant movie studio maybe. Anyways, I remember the laser show was insane amazing and ther music was different than anything I had heard at all the other parties up to that point.

The lasers were insane. I know I just said it but I remeber that was the only time I was ever really impressed by a light show.

So I found these images online but I have the flyer upstairs. I remember looking it up before and none of the djs music matched what I remembered. Then looking over this forum

carefully I saw that Mickey Finn (UK) was replaced by Andy C because of imigration problems.

Mickey Finn was originally billed but due to immigration he couldn't enter the country. We were lucky enough to get Andy C to spin.

How crazy is that? (e:hodown) remembers this party too I am sure. I think we even saw my cousin Christina there.

Dancing for jesus
Category: dancing

I am thinking about going dancing in Rochester tonight. MC jumper who I enjoy is MCing the hardcore room at Tilt.

Anyways, semi related but way more interesting I was looking some Andy C stuff on youtube and found some jungle music remixed to a video of christian dancers at different churches being moved by the holy spirit. Looks like there are ravers everywhere.

Barbara Ehrenreich's _Dancing in the Streets_ talks about the human need for communal joy and how it's been manipulated in Western culture, harnessed for churches, then relegated to the "bad" people. Raves and ecstatic expressions in Christian churches are contemporary cultural expressions of this need.

Have fun!

Buffalo biodiesel

Turning your fryer grease into something useful. How awesome is
that.

gardenmama - 09/25/08 21:46
Actually - you probably weren't too far off base with that thinking. While it might seem crazy, "the huge pot of rancid oil" there are, no doubt, lots of families who have them. With the popularity of the "King Cooker", used for deep-frying turkey, chicken, etc., I know a number of people who occasionally have gross amounts of oil to get rid of. The food usually tastes great but if you think about it too hard it becomes kind of sickening.

tinypliny - 09/25/08 19:38
I guess. Didn't think about the frying restaurants! Now that I think back, what I thought earlier was hilarious. I had this mental picture of me carrying a whole pot of rancid fat that I might have accumulated frying a bazillion fritters over a month to the recycling place and dumping it in a cauldron. Heh.

heidi - 09/25/08 18:40
YEA!!!

gardenmama - 09/25/08 17:52
Beats the hell out of a landfill somewhere! Besides, with as many "wing" joints and places that serve fish fry as there are around here, they should be able to recycle TONS of grease.

paul - 09/25/08 17:27
I think it is awesome that someone is doing something with the grease.

james - 09/25/08 15:39
This town... I swear sometimes I just want to die somewhere else.

tinypliny - 09/25/08 15:24
This might be very politically incorrect but seriously, anyone who has fryer-grease enough to recycle has way more problems than recycling.

Driscoll's organic golden raspberries

They taste almost exactly like the red ones - yummy.

paul - 09/25/08 22:42
They were actually the same price.

gardenmama - 09/25/08 21:38
Wow - what a bargain!

matthew - 09/25/08 10:22
and only cost three times as much!
