Clipboard security
Category: web
I wonder if this clipbard security thing is still an issue. Is anyone using IE 6 anymore?

Remember when I used to be creative? I used to have so much fun with photoshop in the days before the non-stop programming.

Crazy Night of Debauchery and Drinking
Category: thursday
Thursdays are starting to get ridiculous. I barely drink otherwise but then comes Thursday in the Square and suddenly I have a beer in each hand the moment I get there. This week the band was Better than Ezra.

You probably remember them singing this song on the radio and while that song was pretty good and the crowd was generally into them, thats about the only song I enjoyed. They definitely seems like a really heavily production studio dependent band. The singer is pretty hot though.

This is not at thursday in the square


I went with (e:terry) and a friend from work. We then met up with (e:vincent), (e:enknot) Casey and (e:enknot)'s friend Andrew. For some reason they all wanted to go to the gay bars. I guess the cheaper, stronger drinks. After that we headed over to primo pizza on Chippewa, then (e:enknot) and I ran almost all the way to Allen street at full speed.

Everyone else went to staples and the pink, I decided I wanted to go dancing at Ohm but when we got there it was closed. Well at least the door was locked, so we ended up at cathode where I tried to find a girl for my straight buddy but instead ended up being hit on by some old guys.

Then the best part was going home and eating smoked salmon with apples. Ya fish. Sometimes I think I should have been a sea lion.

This morning it all ended with breakfast at ambrosia

With when I work going out and staying out late during the week is a really bad Idea, I'm glad you had a great time, Other then Club Diablo I'm not sure what other places have stuff for after the Square it used to be they sent sexy ladies around with little flyers that got you your first drink free, I think Skybar was one of them, I think that would be a cool place to go to, if it is still open (top of darcy mcGahee's)

Sushi time

I had an amazing day programming but forgot to eat in the hecticness.
By 9 pm I was starving and decided to take myself out to dinner.

It was weird going out alone. Not something I often do but in the end
I liked it and ate the fishes till I was full.

Allentown Art Festival
Category: allentown
Found these pics on my phone. The stretch down Allen heading
toward Allen west festival made me so claustrophobic.

The Lake Effect ice cream company out of lockport, NY had some amazing flavors. I had salty caramel and (e:james) had Guiness Stout. Strangely, they proofed him for the ice cream. I never saw someone proof before for food with alcohol as an ingredient.
image

They also have a facebook page and a commercial. They could really use a better commercial.



I was hoping to win the Vespa below. I bet $5, (e:Jim) bet $20. I guess
neither of us won, either that or he is keeping it a secret. The
money went to Theatre of Youth. The inside of their theatre on allen
was really nice. Someone said it used to be a porn theatre in the
80s. Can anyone verify that?

I checked out Sprinkles the other day - I wondered what the advert for alcohol was about! I just had a normal cone.

I actually went out and got some of this today, but I'm really disappointed that the store I visited didn't have the flavors I wanted... I drove all the way out to Niagara Produce because on their blog they claimed it was the only place where they sold the Guinness Stout flavor. I ended up buying the loganberry and the green tea - I'll let you guys know how it goes.

If you like the idea of alcohol and ice cream, walk down to Delish. They have beer and champagne floats!
joshua - 06/18/09 13:54
This local ice cream is freaking me out... I have to go buy some right after work. I can't resist this ice cream inspired by alcoholic beverages, nor can I seem to resist some of their other flavor ideas.
tinypliny - 06/16/09 09:42
DAMMIT. The raffle is over already? I invested $5 for creativity as well.
jim - 06/16/09 08:05
I WON!














No, not really

Oh ya, that picture is actually the cover of the mint julep which was delicious.
heidi - 06/15/09 22:13
i had the mint julep, also excellent. (I didn't get carded. I didn't win the Vespa, either.)

Cheap pot

I know what you are thinking, not that. These are really nice clay
pots at wegmans for 1.99.
