First lets see if I can ad a picture to this journal I couldn't yesterday.
Awesome it works now so that means I can do my Festival pictures. I must ad that I don't work for Club Diablo and I don't know any of the music or really know what is going on, but I love the art and think I need to take the camera to this.
In the past few years the quality of TV and Movies have really gone up. You have plasma and flat screens and high def and all this stuff, not to mention now they make 3D movies (sorry not the same as when a 3D movie when I was around as a kid) and huge IMAX screens. Now they have 3D TV that come with glasses. It blows my mind it really does. But there is one thing that they don't have other then 3D shows. You can never really make sitting at a show the same as sitting on your couch, no mater how big the speakers and screen are it just isn't the same.
That is what leads me to my point. The other night I watched 2012,and I did enjoy it. I'm at home so the lights are on. Well that movie and most movies are made to be watched in the dark so very often there are dark scenes and you can't see anything at all. I'm not going to say that they should lighten them up how would you know it is night or someplace dark? What I'm saying is that like how every show and movie has some kind of rating, they should have one for if it is viewed better with lights on or off or maybe even dim. People go out and buy these costly players and they hook up to the net and you can stream movies onto computers and every TV in the house and all kinds of things on these giant TVs that brag about how clear the picture is and how great the sound is, but if you aren't watching it in the right type of light you lose some of that.

ItalinFESt moviesCategory: summer
So I sarted out Saturday by going to see Inception. Visualy it was pretty good. Good story, good action, good acting. All in all it was a pretty good movie. With out giving anything away when the movie ends I was surprised that I understood it all. But then I started to think about what they showed at the end and started to wonder if the end really meant something else, but maybe I just over thought it............
After the movie what I should have done is gone and got a ticket at tops for Apoclitca . I would have loved to have seen them. But with the festival and having to change (should have just worn jeans). Plus at Towne Ballroom they allow cameras but sometimes the band doesn't so you often don't know untill you are in line if they are permited. This makes me wish for 2 things
1. I lived downtown, this would make going to shows or even Club Diablo so much better, but in this case get in line if no cameras take it home and come right back, no big deal
2. had a phone with camera, who knows maybe I would call someone sometime, This would also mean that when at the Festival yesterday I could have mobile posted what I was eating or something
I wound up watching some stuff I recorded and got caught up on some shows. Then I watched 2012 , that was pretty good love all the destruction, again great in a movie, not so good in real life, plus the effects where pretty good. Then before bed watched Porno for about 30 seconds, ha not really. I'm bumbed I didn't make the concert but maybe that gives me a few more $ for next weekend. If I'm remembering this right Friday (e:heidi) has stuff at the 464 gallery on friday, then On satruday I have to go to Club Diablo: not sure what it will be but I think it is going to be rockablillie bands and side shows or was it slide shows, in any event it sounds interesting...........
Here are some pictures from the festival
Pictures didn't show up lets try this again argh
Well for what ever reason the picture file names aren't showing up in the journal so that means like last time no pictures, guess I'll try a different browser later instead of using MSN we shall see
Well Now I'm using Safari after a computer shut down lets see what happens picture wise.
Well there are no pictures of the pictures where the file names show up and the files aren't added to this journal so still isn't working........

I was happy I could follow everything, I thought I would be lost by 15 or 20 minutes in. I really like how it started and had a good time watching it. I saw it in regular not 3D or IMAX . I wish I could say more about the ending but I don't want to be a spoiler. I don't even watch the shows about or specials about movies cause I don't want to see how they make things happen that can really ruin a movie. I'm more of an action guy myself but this was a pretty good movie.

It's whatever ending you want it to be Peter, that's the beauty of it :) It was the best movie I've seen in years!

Zombiewalk 2010Category: photos
This was wild to see it really was. I think what I'm going to do is start with the pictures I got from the lot at blockbuster video since those are the best.
My guess on when I would run into the walk was a bit off some I went to Zillycakes before I ran into them and not after but it worked out good still
I think that covers it now I just have to talk about the taste of buffalo and that should be my next post?

1. The lady in Zillycakes put her head down as I was shooting, I have seen her before in the area and think she is very pretty, she looked great as a zombie
2. I have heard like there was going to be a zombie walk but have never known when it was, one year I saw a few zombies but it seemed like the walk must have ended.
3. Gotta thank Zillycakes with out their post about the cupcakes I don't think I would have thought to look into the walk

2010 taste of BuffaloCategory: photos
So first of all I was nice to run into (e:chico) and talk at Hardware after the stripteasers on Saturday. It was also nice to talk and see (e:tinypliny) on Sunday on my way home. If my back was feeling all stiff I could have gotten more tickets and delt with the crowd but at that point I was tasted out.
Saturday both before and after the zombie walk I had a good time at the taste of Buffalo. I did wind up going to Roxy's and had a good time, yes it was my first time there. Mistress J of the stripteasers had a Burleque class and these where her students on stage, they where all pretty good, and (not that I had a chance with any of them regardless of their sexual preference) Some people there watching where pretty nice to.
One of the Foods I tried before the zombiewalk you saw up there was a Buffalo Burger. It was listed as a healthy item but to me tasted pretty much like a hamburger so I wonder how it was healthy and if it was really buffalo?
The Zombie walk was a great time. It would have been better if I left the taste about 5 minutes later then I would have been on the right side and shot them all directly but it was a great time and then back to the taste, the funny thing is I'm not the only one who left the taste to go watch the zombie walk these two ladies did the same thing I did but they went and got into the back of the walk and then later as I returned they passed me to go back to the taste, that was interesting, but kinda odd......
So Back to the bar for a second, I wish I would have had my camera, maybe the hot zombie chick would have posed with me or maybe she would have kicked my ass who knows. One of the people I was with told me some chunky girl was checking me out, I never noticed it. But it is tough when Hardware is small and then people are dancing, then you are checking out people your self, then you also want to try and get to the bar. If it was when I was talking to (e:chicho) maybe it was him who was getting checked out, but I know when talking to someone I would never notice it, Sat was a great time and very busy.
The Pictures of the Motorcylcle that will be coming up is from inside New Era cap.......
This last weekend was great and I don't really see another weekend this summer that will be this good for some time, of course I don't know what is going on or have anything planned yet. But I do have an (e:strip) question the Taste Of Buffalo is a Summer thing but also it is a bunch of pictures, is there a way to have a post under two catergories?

It was very nice to see you after such a long time, (e:metalpeter). :-) I got to see my bread demonstration and also saw (e:mike) and (e:libertad) later at the show.

Weekend?Category: summer
So one thing about having a could is you never know how good or bad it really is. Sometimes the nose runs and sometimes it doesn't, sometimes you have the headache and sometimes you don't. I'm hoping I feel fine for Sat. and Sunday that is right it is Taste of Buffalo time. Who knows I may even check out the Entertainment. Some things I think you can do sick, but the Taste I think the crowds drive you insane. PLus if the sickness effects how things taste do you really want to spend money on food. Well still good people watching and picture taking there is allways interesting stuff going on and give aways and stuff........
I may go out Sat. night if I feel up to it. The Stripteasers are performing at Roxy's. The Only thing is well ok two things. I know this sounds weird to some. I feel like I might not be welcome or not wanted there. I will admit I have never been there, but understand that it is a gay bar. Now maybe that term is wrong. I don't know it is just a feeling I get. The other thing is Main. I'm not saying Main is bad but there are some sketchy people around there and I don't know as I want to deal with that or take that chance.
Sunday night this band I like As Summer Dies is playing at club Paradise. As much as I would love to go, I don't know where that is or how I would even get there or get home so I think that is out. However I have been watching TNA recently and they are having a PPV so I think I'll go with that, just gotta find time to get a video tape so I can record it.
I doubt I will go out friday need to keep my strength up. Plus it will be the last day of a long 4 day work week. Hope everyone has a great weekend and who knows maybe I'll see you peeps out and about and maybe I'll even snap a picture of you or something.........

I wound up going and it was a great time. I would go back again. To see "The Stripteasers" it would kinda have to be a special thing since I have to wake up early of fridays for work. Maybe since it is a house the size is deceiving but from the outside the place looks huge but then inside it is kinda small, well they had some like exit door that was past the pool table that was closed and I didn't really go see what was over there, it was a good time

Hey Peter, I would say that you should totally go to Roxy's. Felly and I have been there many times, and there are many men, who may or may not be gay, I can't tell :) You wouldn't stick out or anything, so I wouldn't worry about that. Although I would say there is definitely more lesbians there than anything else, it is pretty mixed. Also, as far as that part of main street, I don't think it's that bad at all. We go down there for Roxy's as well as the breakdancing event and have never had a problem. There are usually at least a few people on the street, either getting pizza or just hanging out, and I prefer that to it being empty. Also, you are only about 2 blocks from Allen, so once you get past Main, you are good to go.

The Taste of buffalo was good, but some people need to learn how to walk an not just stop and not walk slow on purpose with two stollers next to each other and no one infront of them.
Zombie walk was pretty good, I ran into I can never remember (e:libertad)'s cute blonde friend. Hoping to get pictures up on sunday or monday.
There will be no stripteasers pictures, no cameras allowed at this one, assuming I can make it out of my house........

Thanks for the good wishes about being sick. It is weird like right now I feel fine, but today I would sneeze and yesterday was a mess. It is tough to know how I really am. Last night I took meds but they didn't seem to do much but I feel better now, kinda.....
In Terms of Roxy's then maybe I will go. I remember one day walking around that part of Main down a bit by Hyatt's and some dude not sure if he was trying to sell me pills to pay for pills he wanted to get. Often times I feel people behind me but this dude came out of nowhare it was creepy then he took off. But Now that you mention at Night With lots of people out it might be better then during the day.

Hope you are feeling better soon! I think you would be more than welcome at Roxy's. I believe it is mostly lesbian but you will find gay and straights too. Also, I think that part of Main street is relatively safe because it is close to Allen and there are so many people out and about. Just be alert and avoid walking near anyone particularly groups. That girl got stabbed in the eye in front of Roxy's but I don't know that it was an isolated incident. I think it was ruled that it wasn't a hate crime though.

Blink was great. Sometimes I don't , I don't know how to say it, think about the entrie picture. I should have thought a head and had either a boat load of cash or transfered some funds, cause there was some stuff I would have liked to have hanging on my walls at that 3D gallery, wonder though since everything lined up is part of the show would they get me one from the back, or leave an empty space on the wall? In any event it was a great time......
I agree, that's some great poster art.
There's a 3-D art show at Blink Gallery, next to 464, Friday night. :::link:::
