So I did try a few things today that I wanted to try. But before I get to that the crowd was insane today. I can't even begin to explain how long the line for tickets was. (don't have time to download the pictures today, plus I have to figure out the best way to post them).
Before my movie I went to Danny's again and tried the Medium size Beef on Weck Soup. It was pretty good.
Then it was onto something I didn't notice until I read the news on the taste of Buffalo this morning. Red Osier Has a Hot Roast Beef Sunday. It is hard to describe but wow was it tasty. It really was very good.
So I left for a bit and went to see Bruno at The Market Arcade or what ever they call it now. With out giving anything away it was wild, and Funny. It wasn't as funny as I thought it might but It was still pretty good. But I the other hand it was also funnier then I thought it might be. Some times with a movie like that they show you all the funny stuff on the previews. Yes it was very vulgar. I was surprised that they had stuff black Boxed out. Some of the stuff I'm glad was boxed out and some of the stuff I wish wasn't blacked boxed out. It would be interesting to see if they come out with a DVD Version that is unrated so you can see all that crazy stuff. But maybe not seeing it makes it funnier not sure about that? If the wild stuff in Borat you liked then you will like this.
After the movie I went back to The taste. It was so packed you could hardly move. Still got free stuff to drink though. I also talked to this Nice Blond from yesterday who was at the cars again. I hope she got to go get some food. It is weird because since they are the first place it was kinda like she was a greater but really wasn't.
the final thing I ate was 3 tickets from Just Pizza , The Bruscetta White Style Pizza was very good. Well that weekend sure went fast, it was a good time though.

Taste Of Buffalo Day 1Category: event
First of all I hope everyone who went and is still going to go has a great time. I was nice to run into Margaret, Nicole, Mike and Bill. When I first got there guessing about noon maybe a little bit sooner it was coming down pretty good, and you could tell it kept a lot of people away even just the threat. Yeah the Umbrella was kinda a pain but it was a good time.
First I saw these cool looking cars, Ford Fiesta's they aren't even out yet. Later on I found out (she was pretty cute also) that you can take them for a test drive, that is pretty cool.
I tried the Mandarin Chicken Pasta from the place called some thing like crankshift cafee, It was good quality but it was cold pasta not warm so I didn't like it.
Hesters's Pub and Grill I think had this really good Chicken and Sausage Gumbo.
Fruit20 essentials was giving away free samples near the fountain in the center. The stuff is pretty tasty and they gave me 2 full bottles so that was awesome not sure if they did that after the rain stopped.
Also near by there Fruit Simple. They make good stuff and where giving stuff away free. I saw some people with full bottles and not sure how they got them. The two flavors I tired where pretty good I think mixed berry and Pomegranate blueberry.
I really need a bag so I donated a dollar to stars of hope as (e:metalpeter) . I won a "The Taking of Pelham 123" shirt, I never did get to go see it but I wanted to, plus I got a bag to hold all my stuff in.
Still in center Vitamin Water free Samples, tasty stuff.
Giacobbis Had a good Buffalo Wing burger. I had no idea what to expect it was a Cheese Burger with some kind of sauce it was pretty tasty.
The Oreo Milkshake got me filled up (larger size) from Clarence Center Coffee co. & Cafee. It was good to.
I got the small portion of Buffalo Chicken Wing Soup and want to try the Beef on Weck Soup from Danny's Restaurant I thought the orange colored stuff was good so now I have something else to try on sunday.
At The Como I had the Broccoli Parmesan I figured I would try it and it was good.
Not sure of the name of the place but I had a small portion $1.50 size of the texas Chili again I was kinda full still, it was good.
Anderson's has a nice Loganberry Ice. For 3 tickets you can't expect to much. I like it but what I mean is if it was prepackaged it would come off better. The best thing to do is not eat it right away let it melt a bit.
I tried Mobay's Jerk Chicken it was one Piece of tasty chicken on rice, I thought I saw someone else with two pieces but maybe that was a different thing, not sure.
Torches had a pretty good idea in sending its Ladies out walking with skimpy little out fits on or maybe it was their idea. The one problem though is that the way their signs where set up was if anyone was in line you couldn't tell what they where selling. That being said next door having that trophy and that cool motorcycle with the stuffed pig on it was a great idea.
Is it me or does Every Year Jack Astors have a bunch of really nice ladies working. I sometimes wonder if they do special recruitment for the festivals. This is often true of JP Bullfeathers also but they are local so I kinda doubt it.
If you don't want to eat to much it does make good people watching just be careful how you walk I some how pissed off some dude he seemed a bit nuts.
I did have a couple drinks, One must get a couple of those collectable cups. Generally speaking each type of drink comes in a different color. You have to give props to people (assuming they are all theirs) that have that huge stack of cups inside of cups and all kinds of colors. When I left and with the weather I didn't see to much of that but I'm sure I'll see some people who spend around $40 on beer well I don't know how much it really costs so.....
Before I went home I went to look at the AUD at first you think that it is all gone. When you look closer you can see it isn't all gone. there is a bunch of ruble on top of what looks like a garage. Then there is also some of those I call them step areas. If you haven't seen it in some time take a few minutes to go check it out.
Hope the rest of everyone's weekend is good.

Heheheh, it sounds waaay better than craftsmen. Think of the possibilities.
Fanfare...
CRANKshaft! Crank up your morning routine! Crank up your energy!
Fanfare out...
I think that bloke who had 24 tumblers drank ALL of it himself because he had only 5 or so when I came to the culinary stage for the demonstration. He and his cronies were having a bottoms-up competition all through the demo.

Sorry I messed up on your Journal I swear that I saw crankshaft but it is Craftsmen right on the apron and then again in the book, I screwed up.
In terms of the Full Bottles of Fruit Simple I'm not sure if they gave away full bottles for sure. I saw someone with a full bottle but don't know how they got it. They had Frisbee and all kinds of stuff so maybe when it was raining when I was there you could get a bottle maybe you had to ask in a special way not sure.
In Terms of the beer: What I like Baracdi Raz and Jack Daniels Lynch-berg Lemonade that was 8 tickets each or $4. Beer was less but not sure if it was 6 or 5 tickets. In Terms of Color of cups. The way I think it works is that JD is one Color, Barcadi is another and then I'm guessing the other colors are for beer, but I don't know how closely that is really followed. In terms of the stack it is possible that not all of those where his.

Ah. so crankshaft café is craftsmen café. :) Really were they giving away the full bottles of the Fruit Simple smoothie when you were there? That was 32oz each.
I wondered about the beer tumbler stacks too - some people in the beer tent (who were completely sloshed btw) had a huge stack. In a moment of ennui, I counted one of the stacks and it was 24 high! Were they all different flavours? How much was each?

Odd SummerCategory: potpourri
So Saturday and Sunday 
Not sure if that will work so if it doesn't it is the Taste of Buffalo. I hope the weather is nice and it will be lots of fun. Well that assumes that people understand that you have to walk and you can't stand still in a group talking, move someplace, I don't want to be in a LA or NYC traffic Jam, stand still only in A Mother fucking Line, ass munch.
Ok so now that I got that out of the way I need to talk about why summer has been weird.
1. Haven't been to a TATS yet. Part of that is last year they changed the time and that was a bummer plus I'm often tired pretty good by thursdays and I don't know any of the bands.
2. So far the weather has been the hottest before the summer started. Plus the weather seems odd for some reason.
B. Timika's Weeding
C. Also in October WWE Monday Night Raw (3rd Row someplace)
D. Metallica (I don't need to travel, right here in Buffalo)
E. My Niece Maya turns one (right around the Metallica show) do they make Baby Metallica Gear?
Well Hope everyone enjoys the Taste of Buffalo and if you see me there maybe I can take a quick picture of you. Also there is music and stuff there also a few bands some of you may know.

- 3*** My perspective is different. I think that how I view the summer has been altered a bit. Yes I love the summer and never want it to leave and all ways look forward to it, and don't want it to end. But this year I have things to look forward to after the summer and even though I don't know what will happen I think that changes how one looks at things. Hey I still want the summer to last a long time but at the same time this future things you still look forward to them.

Glad you liked the fireworks pictures.
Couple things to add Timika's and RAW on in the same week one at the end one at the beginning.
Towards the end of Summer Football Starts. Hall of Fame Game and Hall of Fame inductions. Often I don't watch it but the Bills are in it and Mr. Wilson and Smith will be inducted so.....
I can never remember when the Sabres start but it has to be around that same time, I need to look into when Tickets go on sale.
Other events I want to go to this summer are things like the Italian Festival and Elmwood Arts Festival.

I want summer to take its sweet time, but I enjoyed the cooler weather as I am beginning a new adventure and cleaning the clutter in my home. Several really wonderful events to look forward too! I do think that they sell babe gear for rock n' roll youth! I have seen onesies! I'm not sure if it will be at the concert or just online merchandise. You will have some really cool posts to keep an eye out for! BTW love the fireworks pictures!

4th Of July PicturesCategory: holiday
So for the 4th I went down to see what is left of the AUD and the waterfront and the fireworks it was a pretty good time. I did buy a few dollars worth of food at the bakesale.
Well something on my end is whacky with uploading so I'll finish this up on monday.

I moved around kinda all day. But once the fireworks started I was up on the metal rail. I wasn't really behind the stage I was like at the side of the stage kinda like where one would enter from the side, but right by the water looking down on the boats. It was a good time and it seemed like it was a great time for most of the people there.

I had a nice time watching the fireworks. Even though they were rather short, they were fun. If you were near the area behind the stage, we were there as well! It is indeed funny how people miss each even though they are within a couple feet of each other! :)

A Roast Beef Sundae - hmmm - what was it made out of? It really does sound good. Where did you uy that from? Do they have that on their regular menu or is a special day event kind of thing? Soup sounds good for the rainy part. Was it hot spicy or more like thick stew?
Sounds like you really enjoyed yourself!
A Weck roll Or Wick roll depending on how it is said or spelled is short of kimelwick (not sure how it is spelled) All I know that makes it different is there is some kind of salt and some kind of like thing on the roll but not sure how to explain it better.
I thought it would be wild with the perfect weather and all!
What is a weck? Is it like a Buffalo version of a wreck?
