Like trash from heaven
Category: church of the ascension
One of the tenants at the Church of The Ascension on Linwood next door can't seen to get when garbage day is. There is always so much random trash that ends up on our lawn. For some reason this week, they put this couch out the day after garbage pickup and now the couch cushion ended up on our lawn.

It will probably end up sitting out there for a week looking trashy and they won't get a fine because it's a church. I think they should have to adhere to the same rules as everyone else.

also, they never recycle anything ever. It all goes in the trash.
paul - 02/21/09 18:50
Today the cushion actually showed up at our neighbors side door.
gardenmama - 02/20/09 19:33
Wonderful! - So it of course gave off that pwt, cushioned indoor furniture on the front porch look. That so sucks. I really don't think they're allowed to break the garbage rules. Maybe they have a staffing problem and didn't have anyone available to put the couch out at any other time. They could at least have tied the loose cushion to the couch if they were going to put it out though. I hate when people do that. Of course there is the other problem sometimes when people put big garbage item out at the right time but the garbage men don't take it for a week or two.
paul - 02/20/09 19:24
It was so embarassing because my friend's mom was visiting our house for the first time and at that point the cushion was across our stairs. Thats when I noticed it, when I went to go get the door.
gardenmama - 02/20/09 19:22
I know churches are tax-exempt, but I don't think they're garbage-rule exempt. If this is a frequent problem, you maybe could call the mayor's complaint hotline and see if they can find some way to deal with it. They might just send the church a notice about it, or maybe even issue them a fine.
matthew - 02/20/09 12:11
I don't think that church realizes that their uncovered trash bins are the number one source of the litter on our block of Linwood. Every week I see the trash blow out of the over stuffed bins. It's sad and disgusting.

Raving in the 90s
Category: dancing
The day after going dancing at 1:30am at Faso's Greatful Bear and Grill in Lackawanna with (e:terry) the other night, I was reading some people's jourals on purerave.com that had attended the same event. The website is pretty neat. It basically has event listings and profiles and then people say if they are attending, did attend etc. Then it links the events to the profiles. The users have galleries and journals and can review/post events. The only thing I really don't like is the adverts all over the place but I gues sthat is normal on the internet heutzutage.

Anyhow someone wrote (hhc stands for happy hardcore, a music genre)"


old school hhc
is so good
like the originals
reminds me why i got into hardcore : )
eye opener, heart of gold, shooting star, now is the time, toytown, power of love
so good, wish i was around for those days
So theres gotta be ravers from like 90-95, that're like in their 30s (40s?) now?
thats nuts
Someone should track these people down and do a fucking documentary "where are they now style"
unless they are all brain dead, or junkies, then i don't want to see that movie



Well, that makes me feel old but I am happy to report I am not a junkie or brain dead and that I am 32 not 40 yet.
jim - 02/19/09 13:14
Brain damage, check ;)
leetee - 02/18/09 10:10
i just turned 40, uh, i mean dead....
mrmike - 02/17/09 14:39
Yeah cuz, 40 is practically dead and all
james - 02/17/09 11:36
We need to get Ken Burns on this!

Ohm, which used to be Miss Kitty's at the corner of Main and Allen has some pretty good music. You should have her check :::link::: for all the buffalo events going on. You might have to visit the site, and then go back to buffalobassline.com if it doesn't come up. Their server is f'ed up.
heidi - 02/17/09 09:43
A law school friend of mine wants to go dancing - trance, electronica, old school r&b, disco... got any suggestions for her?

Thanks!
libertad - 02/17/09 09:23
That's funny. I guess I was 98-2000 and only slightly brain damaged.

A nation with a third of the worlds population has gone from the middle ages to the present day in a span of 50 years. They now have electricity, and that means dams, and that means cement. They are undergoing incredibly rapid urbanization. That means housing, streets, and infrastructure, and that means cement. It is such a fascinating country.

Busy, busy
Category: life
I know I always say this, but I am right on the edge of having the new estrip done. I will have to do some more testing and optimization. The only things I have left are the new mobile site, the avatar upload, and the preferences pane.

I missed like 15 dancing opportunities this weekend because I am lame. Tonight we are having a vegetarian dinner party. I am nervous about the tasty value in that.
news - 06/12/10 23:50
And now it is even closer.
hodown - 02/15/09 15:27
I don't like change. It scares me. Let's just keep it the same. okthxbai.
tinypliny - 02/15/09 12:40
Kewl, can't wait for new (e:strip)! :D

And HEY! Vegetarian parties are the BEST in taste value. ;)
