Well last weekend was Pretty busy with Easter and the Bandits game on Saturday. For those of you who read my blog/posts/look at pictures I post you saw some of easter at the Botanical gardens. Well the night before the Bandits lost a tough game to lose. They still may make the playoffs we shall see what happens when they play Toronto on Saturday in Buffalo. The Bandits started out behind and then changed goalies and did much better. That being said towards the end of the game I thought the Bandits didn't have a chance. What they did was pull the Goalie and get the extra man. IF done right you can come back but one mistake and an empty net goal can happen. I think the bandits where down by four and wound up tying up the game. Once that happened I thought they would win. It sure was exciting but with sudden death anything can Happen and Colorado scored first. I'm currently 92 pictures away from 15,000 images. That doesn't mean that is how many I took some of them are images from the internet, but man that is a lot of pictures.
Oh Yeah the Pink Helmets are being auctioned off and some of the money (I have no idea what the cut or percentage is) goes to a breast cancer Charity.
After the intro and anthems and all that they brought something out on the field. Right on the glass it is sometimes tough to hear. My understanding is that Darris Kilgour now holds the Record For most wins.
As Much as I like my water camera this is an example of why I would like to get a camera (for when I know no rain or snow) with a good zoom like 5x Optical at least and there are some not huge cameras that are 10x but I wonder how good of a camera that is and if it is really 10x or if they are lying and counting in some digital or if you crop the picture. That was how my kodak camera was. You could take a pictures as say 8 or 10 mega pixels so it could be a really big picture if you wanted it to be, then you could crop it in Camera . That would make you subject take up more of the picture and it would make the MPs smaller but it would still be enough to be a 4x6. Ok enough about camera stuff.
GAME ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Changing of the Goalies That I mentioned happened in the above pictures. I think if they would have done it sooner they might have won, hard to say really?
At Half time they had "Super Fans" lead cheers. Now why they didn't have any fine Ladies to the Box Cheer I don't know maybe they could even make it from to "The Box" "My Box" that would have been great but it didn't happen.
Captain Bandit lead the best cheer by far he had one side of the arena chant one thing and the other side chant another he even tossed shirts into the fans (guy with hat and the tittle belt). I didn't get the shirt but it was tossed to me by someone else. Yes it is a little creepy it says I heart Captain Bandit and then his face is in the Heart. That is a cool idea. But still kinda Creepy. So here are pictures from after the game.
Also During Half time the kids played laCrosse and then a bit later out came the Bandettes Oh yeah.........
It is to bad we lost it was atleast exciting. Hoping for a win on Saturday that is a game we must win really.

Easter at the Botanical Gardens 2010Category: photos
Part of easter was to go to the Botinical Gardens. It was a good time. Now I know that some people may not do the church thing. Some people may not believe in that god or any gods for that matter. But in that case Easter can be about other things like being with your family or going out to enjoy the weather. Well onto the pictures some of these will have my Niece in them and some of them won't we shall see what gets posted here.
Just wanted to add that I'm not sure but I Think this is the same room where (e:ladycroft) and (e:Rory) where married, it at least looks like it.
My sis encase anyone is still looking at these pictures tried the Easter Bunny but Maya freaked. I don't blame her the Jacket vest is kinda scary, Ha. I wonder if she was down walking around if she would have aproached him/Her?
IT was a good time hope you enjoyed the pictures

That Picture in the paper is pretty Nice. The Photographer explained to my sister that he had no control over what pictures get used but that they like girls in pretty dresses on easter so there was a pretty good chance. So my guess was that Maya would make the paper but that I wouldn't. But thinking back I guess you don't want to have it look as if the child is just walking around all alone and not being watched? (e:Heidi) I know nothing about flowers at all other then I have an Opinion of what ones I think are pretty. I think you should go there and take the camera and enjoy the place but also take pictures for your self and to share as well.
(e:ladycroft). What you said got me thinking. It would be nice if Maya didn't get freaked out by The Easter bunny. This is true of Santa Claus with kids also. But there is another side to this if a child would let a giant bunny hold them then anyone that doesn't know them could just snatch them up and they wouldn't care and that isn't good. Yes I know it is different cause you are right there. But I wonder if a parent holding them or getting them to see that person is a factor. Giant creature like that you kinda have to warm up to. Yeah torturing kids is part of the holiday. I don't want winter to come any time soon but maybe that time maya won't freak out at Santa we shall see if her farther, or Mother, or anyone else tries it then. Hey maybe someone will get another picture of Maya freaking out, HA. We shall see.

Seriously, I love finding photos of little kids who are freaked out by Santa or the Easter bunny! We love to torture them don't we!

Clash of the TitansCategory: movies
Went to see Clash Of The Titans. I liked it. That being said I never saw the 1st one. I'm sure TBS played it a lot but never saw it. I didn't see the 3D Version. The Regal only has the 2d when did it become 8Bucks that kinda sucked but it was good. That Regal has How To Train Your Dragon (yes I would like to see it) and a 3D version so I'm guessing that is why no 3D version of this. There where some really amazing lighing effects in a few parts but don't know if 3D would have made it better.

Yes that is where the KFC was. If my understanding is correct that building will be Apartments, I assume nice or pricy not for people who you would call poor but I'm not 100% sure about that.

Buffalo and ArtvoiceCategory: potpourri
So as some of you know there was the Buffalo Powder Keg festival some time ago. Their is this photographer who takes pictures all over buffalo and he took some there named Joe Cascio. If you have gone to Elmwood Festival of The Arts or Allentown Art Festival you have seen or may have seen some of his shots. He has these 360 degree Panormaics that are amazing. If you have seen the some of them you know what I mean. Not sure how I found him on facebook but I added him as a friend. Do I know him no. But I see him at all different events like the Chicken wing Festival and other things also. He sent me an Invite to vote in Artvoice best of Buffalo.
-Voting Closed on the first I think I forgot to vote till like that day
-I voted for him as best Photographer
-Best Blogger Paul Visco aka Paul at (e:strip).org
But where things get interesting is there are a lot of places and things that I have no idea what to vote so I skipped them like best Dance Club and best corner bar and dive bar but what does that say about me.
- I have to get out more and find these places
- I couldn't remember the name of that cool gay bar with the really nice wood where we met up with (e:theecarey)
-- I forgot about Ted's and Louie's for best Hamburger but what does that say about me that I can't think of a local Hamburger place it is very sad I Think
- I couldn't think of a local strip club
- I couldn't think of a good head shop
- Couldn't think of a good adult sex shop
I guess I need to go hit up a head shop and a porn shop after I meet a girl at a strip club and we go get high together and then go find a place to eat after we use our toys or something, oh wait all those girls got busted, damit, kidding of course but man I really do need to get out a bit more.
That being said there are two great groups whose music I don't know that well who are coming to the Town Ballroom but not together. Alexisonfire (If you are from Canada and haven't heard of this band they kick you out of the country now a days, ha). I saw them once and they where great they opened up for Snapcase at what was supposed to be their last show. Well Snapcase is back and they are bringing Sick Of it all ( don't know much of there stuff either but saw them with Hatebreed I think and they where really good), Not sure if the other bands playing with them are Hardcore also. These are two shows I must go to. Next concert I'll be at is TSO yes they are doing a non christmas tour and they are at Sheas on April 15 the day after Bisons opening day, that should be pretty interesting.
Well time for my lame as to go I can't think of anything else to write about how many types of places I have no clue about how to vote on, oh well.............................

(e:Paul) you are welcome, I admit I have no idea how many votes you will get. But now that I think back on in it, it looks like a better choice then a few. Don't get me wrong there are a lot of great blogs on this site.
1. They don't have the best local site catorgory any more so you can't vote for (e:strip), but the next best thing was for the person who created it.
2. Voting for my self seems silly are you even allowed to do that.
3. I don't know how Buffalo you have to be. For Example (e:Theecarey) is from the Area, (e:Jenks) and (e:Ladycroft) no longer live in Buffalo.
4. Again #1 trumps most of the bloggers on this site. I did think about voting for (e:Jason) but looking back I wonder if (not saying one person on one site would win) Artvoice would even let someone who's political views [at least through bloggging] Doesn't line up with them
5. It just dawned on me (e:MrMike) would have been a great choice since he writes here and and Facebook and has a very big Twitter following from what I have heard and not sure if he is still on myspace as much as I like myspace I don't really have the time to keep up on it.
I'm not sure how the follow up works, I think at some point they list like the top 3 or 4 in each catogory and then have a party and say who won. I have never been to the party.
Yes (e:Paul) has a great blog he really does.
I know I'm repeating my self but as I looked over all those different things I saw a lot of things I have no clue about so, fuck I forgot to vote for The Valut (one of my cousins friends runs it or owns it not sure and she is a pretty cool chick (not single not that I would since she is in my cousin's circle that would be bad when thiings went south).

WHY DIDN'T I GET AN INVITE, DAMMIT?!!
But I agree with your choice. (e:Paul)'s journal is endlessly entertaining and so unpredictable. For example, I can't wait to see what makes the "I have wanted this my entire life" and "Some alternative roadkills of the century you may not know about, YET" list.

Thanks peter.
Thanks peter.
What is Lacrosse? Ha.
The Bandetes are an added bonus.
I wonder if in a Traditional Hockey Town like Buffalo if Ice Dancers would fly here like they have for some of the new teams. I also wonder if you could have ice dancers that could come out on skates and perform and then have the Zamboni come out or if those kinds of skaters need fresh ice cause you wouldn't want to mess it up for the hockey.
In terms of Performing on me, Oh I mean during the game they dance once after warm ups and before the game, then between the 1st and 2nd period, then at Halftime and then between the 3rd and 4th, so 4 times in all. Currently they also do stuff during the game like some of them help out with promotions in the fans like T-shirt give aways with that blaster gun thing. I mean T-shirt Cannon. There is a spot where they dance where I can't see them so not sure how much they do down by the Zamboni entrance that is the same place the bandits come out from for their intro.
Four outfits?
(e:MetalPeter) - do you really go for the lacrosse?
