First of all I wanted to Thank (e:Drew) and (e:Janelle) for the invite to the Champagne Brunch. It was a really nice time. Sometimes it is weird to take pictures when there are people you don't know there.
Plus there was a lot of really good food.
On the way there I saw this place is going to open up. I wonder if it will stay open any longer then the other Asian Restaurants that opened there. Not sure if that is a bad spot for them or if they have been badly manged not really sure.
I have no pictures of anyone Drinking right out of the Bottle. I know some people look down on but I think it is ok. Slash Pulls it off Very Well and even though I have Never seen Absolutely Fabulous, (e:ladycroft) and (e:Theecarey) pulled it off pretty well before. I have done it my self before but not Like Slash Or Janis Joplin, it can be done with class and style. Hey and if there isn't much left someone needs to finish it off.
So here are the pictures , I can admit I had trouble with the light so some maybe blurry or fuzzy or have nasty shadows.
Yes I took Pictures of the cats!!
Sorry I forgot to Mention that there would be some food porn, if you are offended, to late now, HA.
These Last two shots are from Later that same day at Wegman's . Yes that is a wall of beer. It stops for a Display and then they have the cooler that you can walk into. How would one decide what to get.

Sons Of Anarchy TonightCategory: tv
So Tonight Is the Return of this show I like called The Sons Of Anarchy. I think it is a pretty good show. I've seen ads for it on the history Channel. Of course the one time it was on a show called Marked , it is a tattoo Show, this on e was about bike gangs. Then last night Gang land was about a biker gang , so the ads do make sense based on what was on at the time. I Have seen that Henry Rollins is going to be on this year, not sure if he will be like a regular or just on one episode. (side note why can I type faster then facebook can move?){I'm not really even fast}
But also Tonight is the return of 90210, and then Melrose Place gets to be a new show also. I admit last season I did watch some of 90210. It isn't as good as the old show. But how could it be it isn't the same thing really. What I can say is that Jenny Garth is still just as hot and doesn't even look any older, oh yeah. I guess I can try and watch Melrose place and see if it is any good. I never saw it before but we shall see but I won't be able to compare it to the original. But it is odd that 90210 is a CW Show, why not fox since I think they carried the old one, but maybe that is why. For those that may not know UPN and WB (warner brothers) combined and Made "The CW" They do have some shows that I might check out, like some new Vampire Show, But I have a feeling it may be on at the same time as something I all ready watch. That is what happened to 90210 It wound up being on at like the same time as like maybe House or Fringe or Bones, or Something along those lines.
This time of year is all ways kinda weird because you have shows coming back on. Then you have new shows. But they don't all start at the same time. For example Heroes starts in about 2 weeks, I love that show and think it is one of the best ones on TV. The point is that you really need to pay attention to when new shows come on and start up. This is also true since often shows switch nights.
Oh Yeah not to mention then You have Sports like Football and Baseball that will effect when shows come on. This is very true of Fox and sometimes it gets very confusing. Now most shows that I watch , I watch for the same reason people read: For the story. Yes the action and other things are part of it also. TV Wise this is an exciting and confusing time.

I'm guessing the big push of adds is over for it. I think around this time they need a lot of ads because a lot of people don't know when knew seasons start. For example last week Rescue Me was still on at that time slot and had their Season Final, well not sure if it was the season final or if it will come back on after S.O.A. has had it run. But the point is that not every show restarts at the same time so I think that is why there have been so many ads. It also looks like Henry Rollins is going to be around for some time on this season. You can never really tell cause he could get killed next week, but currently he seems to be a big part of the show. He did a great job on last nights episode, oh yeah Vampire Dairies starts on Thursday may check that out but so does the NFL so we shall see...........

Re: Sons of Anarchy. Wow. That was ALL over last.fm for the past month. The ads got louder and louder and louder till I almost stopped logging on to last.fm because I was so tired of seeing all those motorbikes rushing towards each other. Hopefully they will go away now that the show has started and they have got all the viewership that they could.

Miss Buffalo Wing FestivalCategory: event
So I started a post that I put in Draft mode in Internet Explorer but I can't find it using Safari. I couldn't upload any pictures no mater what I did I couldn't figure it out. But what I want to say before I post the pictures is that this year vs. two years ago when I last saw it things changed. The last time it was about wings and being pretty and you tasted wings and guessed hot,mild, med. and thing like that. This year there is one wing question followed by a Social Issues Question, the Winner is Miss Buffalo Wing for two days and then is Miss Buffalo and competes for Miss New York State and the Wing Festival is the Sponsor.
After the Intros they had some dancers and then went into the Talent portion I think it was all singing and dancing. I would have loved to see some one do impressions that would have been awesome but no luck, HA.
How Could I forget the St. Pualie Girl. She was amazing she talked about how knowing so many languages was a waste, and how the playmates where trying to look like her, it was a great time.
Now The Talent Portion
I think the dancers where called Center Stage Not 100% on that.
So then Next they Had the Evening wear portion and did the part where they asked them the two questions all in one. That then led to the presenting the awards to the runners up and the winners. You will notice the winner from last Year and That Sexy Beer Maden in those photos also.
Then Here are a few Pictures from after the contest.
I had a great time and I hope the people who went on both days had a good time as well, hope if anyone read down this far that they enjoyed this post and my previous one as well.

Wing fest 2009Category: events
Hope everyone who went on Saturday and Goes today has a great time. I also hope they give a Donation to MIA and the Firefighters they are both great causes.
That being said I don't know if these guys take money or what there deal is. I don't think it is a protest I think they are trying to give there Message.
There are so many kinds of wings that it is tough to decide what kind to try. It is also important to me at least that just because two places have the same type of wing they may taste different.
That Mojito Stuff is Very good, I had never even heard of it before but it sure went down nice. Well here are some more of the sites.
I think I Need to Touch on those ladies in the Ref tops. First of all I think they where all, pretty hot. The ones had huge amazing boobs they where looking pretty nice. I think they worked for one of the places since there was a name on the shirts. I never did walk in a way that we where face to face that would have made a great shot but I never got it.
One place as above shows that I had to try was Quaker Steak and Lube. Hey the girls there where pretty cute. Not sure if I got the Ranch or The Arizona Ranch but it was very good and had a white sauce on it. Well (assuming anyone is reading this) are some more shots.
I made Sure to get up close so I could see the Chicken wing Eating Championship. There was a lot of media there and I'm in a couple pictures on facebook along with the rest of the crowd. Before the event started you can see some of the Eaters like Sonya "The Black Widow" Thomas and back there with them is Robby Takac, he didn't compete.
I also Like how everyone who competes gets their own intro. I few times the MC of the thing had to cut off the music guy so he could finish we was really good.
The Guy with the White shirt is from the Buffalo Area Jim Reeves I think his name is. The Big Black Guy Is "badlands Booker" and then They say Sonya "The Black Widow " Thomas is the underdog. Well let the eating begin.
One Question I have is how do you decide who wins? Remember when you where a kid and some kid claimed he ate all these wings. But you take a look and his wings are tiny. Or what happens is that he doesn't pop the bones apart so there is all this meet left on them. Well because of this the way it works is that each tray weighs so much and after the 12 minutes they go and weigh how much is left and subtract it out. I'm not a judge so Not sure if that is how it really works. Ok here is your winner, that I'm guessing (assuming some one is reading this) you all ready heard about.
So Last Year I missed the Miss Buffalo wing Contest so I don't know how it went. But the Year before was great they had tasting and questions and a lovely lady won who worked at the Anchor Bar not sure how she spelled her name it was like Luchetta. But this year is was more of a beauty contest with the winner becoming miss buffalo and being sponsered by the wing fest. It was a great time anyways that will be the next post.

Day 2 Elmwood Festival of the artsCategory: photos
I've been keeping up on my reading of (e:strip) but not my posting. Maybe before the weekend is over I will have some pictures from The Buffalo Chicken Wing Festival. I do have a question a long time ago I saw a flyer for something called "Wing Stock" did this replace this or did they go under.
So On the second day of Elmwood Festival of the arts I watched a bunch of Dancing. I admit pictures of Dancing don't tell the tale very well. You kinda have to see the entire thing. The 3 companies I saw where all pretty good. I wish I could remember the name of the one company that had some humor. They had like people yelling and other things and had a girl cary a guy they where very good. Well not sure how many pictures will go up but here are some of them.
Lovely out fits aren't they? But before I forget there is something that I need to talk about. When I first got there to watch the dancers Sam Hoyt was there with a dog and a bunch of people had dogs over on the grass. Now some people might say so what. He wasn't there with a sign he wasn't there with some oh come meet me a big fucking shot, oh look at me I'm Special like how like say Chuck Shummer does, he was there just as a regular person. I think if more people in Public Office did this things might be a lot better. This goes for peoples ideas who you like and don't like, when you go someplace go as your self you don't need TV cameras and big signs that is the same way Mayor Brown (yes he had a bunch of people with him) did it at the Garden walk and he waited in line on "Little" Summer just like everyone else. That is how he should have handled the East Side Shooting rash. Just Show up as your self and be a man, don't do the lets show up for 5 minutes and look good for the cameras. Ok back to pictures again.
In Terms of the art (assuming anyone made it this far or at all) that is Drew Morrison (not sure if that is how he spells it) the one with the wood frame is the one I bought I have two others above it but you can only see the one here. I don't know what I like about his art but I like it.

(e:Jason) that line #4 was funny, those ads are great by the way
In terms of (e:Jason) Macking it up I didn't hear what was said so I can't say. But I thought I heard something about Her knowing how to make great drinks and a bar or something.... Not sure what will happen or what direction that might go but hopefully at some time in the future a good meet up at some point (unless it all ready happened).
(e:James) Shirt was pretty cool but I didn't get what the moose was about.
(e:Janelle) it is a good thing I'm so slow with taking pictures, HA
(e:Tinypliny) I didn't know if she was coming or not would have been cool if you would have.
It was really a good time and there was so much Food that was all really good. The Blueberry stuff was pretty good and both kinds of Bacon where good as Well. I wish I could have eaten more Bacon but I was pretty full so I went back inside.
Again Thanks to (e:Drew) and (e:Janelle) it was a great time and I'm sure set up and clean up was a lot of work.
It sure is.
I also missed that blueberry dessert. It looked amazing.
And yes, Drew and Janelle are awesome.
1) I never noticed (e:James) shirt, but that is freaking hilarious. Is that a reference to Bull Moose party?
2) I also never noticed the freaking blueberry dessert!!
3) I definitely needed to shave that morning.
4) I am not a mack daddy. But I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night.
5) Drew and Janelle are my favorite
Aw man, looks like a much better time than what I HAD to do on Monday.
Wow, do I really talk with my hands so much? LOL! I am my father! Nice pics (e:peter) - I knew they'd come out. The blueberry dessert was delicious - well, really everything was delicious. I don't think I've ate so much bacon in one day before (we had more bacon later... yes that is the sound of my heart stopping that you are hearing).
(e:drew) and (e:janelle) - thank you for being such gracious hosts! We lub you, you're the best.
and you missed (e:jason) laying down the mack.
(e:metalpeter), thanks for the pictures! More importantly, thanks for the picture that didn't make the cut. Lol.
(e:tinypliny), you were greatly missed, but there will be a Labor Day next year ... I hope. I didn't get a chance to eat much, but everyone raved about the blueberry coffeecake that my next door neighbors made. I'm sorry we both missed out on it!
Damn! I missed it because I forgot and spent the day moping over how completely silly my little silent tiff was. I can't believe I missed so many blueberry goodies I can see on there! What were they??!
