"The Fair". Yes around here when you say that everyone knows you mean The Erie County fair, for sometime it was Called "America's Fair". Even though it wasn't run by the county it is in the county with the fiscal problems the name was changed. Not really sure who ran it, I heard it is some religous group but not sure on that really, it doesn't really matter since it is great everyear. There is a state Fair around Syracuse that I have never been to that is called the fair on there advertisements but you don't here much about it around here nor do you really hear about who is performing there.
I'm not sure for How long I've been going to the fair. Most years I've gone I go to see a performance like say Carrot Top,or The monster trucks yes one year Grave Digger was there that was pretty awesome. Last Year with (e:vincent), (e:tinypliny) and (e:theecarey) was a lot of fun. This year the 1st trip was with the sis and the niece. Then I went to go see the ultimate night of Disruction, well here are some pictures from the The Fair:
What is nice about the fair is that you have all the animal stuff. But if that isn't your thing there are the games. Well if you think the only people that can win them are the people who work at them or the people they give the big prize to so that it looks like people win them (not sure if they still practice this but some places used to), then you have rides. If that isn't your thing they all different shows. Some stages have multiple acts on them. Then if you just want to eat there are all sorts of places. Then they have displays and things in buildings. They also have all kinds of things you can buy and cooking shows. Not sure how and when it is but there is livestock stuff and where they grade animals. Yes some of the stuff you would have to look into but there is a great variety of things to do and see............
To Be Honest I'm sick of Uploading photos (all my photos aren't downloaded yet my battery died) So I'm guessing that means people are sick of looking at them....
1. Yes those are what I believe they call place settings, I love the starwars one and thought the Coke one was really cool
2. That train set up is pretty cool.......
Not sure what the next set of things to go up is thinking maybe the falls and then come back to more fair stuff not sure really.
One thing that I forgot to mention about the fair is they are all over the country and everyone should go, but if you don't like things or have a negative idea of the fair then look up the CNE (Candian National Expostion) also known as the X but spelled EX. I haven't been in a long time (no papers anyways) but go check that out, it used to be pretty cool. Way be fore (e:strip) I saw a stunt show where cars drove on their sides it was pretty cool. I know I could have put this under photos but Fairs are a summer thing no mater where you go...... I just wish On day 1 I ate more and had something deep fried, can Vegatariens have fried foods? Just wondering since the fat is sometimes from meat......

Pictures from The Fair #1Category: summer

The Peterazzi has been Busy, um wow,and has a lot of work to do argh..........Category: peterazzi
So yes life of The Peterazzi is great some times. But it isn't all great all the time either. Yes photo taking for those out there is a good Hobby but sometimes it aint so easy.
So Wendsay day there was a bisons game to attand. Yeah it was a good time. Bisons won, food was good, weather was good. Of course The Peterazzi was out in full effect getting pictures of people on base and the players and runs..........
Thursday was a nice day off for The Peterazzi. But it wasn't really a day off from shoting. The fair with the niece and Sis was a good time, but of course there where Pictures of the neice to be had. Then all kinds of animals and crafts (stars wars and others). Then there where some shows so it was a big picture day. Then later that same night there where on top of pictures from the shows earlier there was Ultimate Night of distruction pictures to take. Those where not easy shots as much of the action was not on that part of the track but it was fun none the less.
Friday The Peterazzi went to Niagara Falls USA. Yes The Maid OF The Mist Photos where a lot of fun to be Taken by The Peterazzi. Some of them with all the water was like just point and see how they come out. That water was intense. Then other photos of the boat and from the boat where able to just take ones time and take. Then after the ride the Peterazzi got to see many other Pictrue Takers as he clibed the steps built into the rock up closer to the falls. Again lets not forget that The Peterazzi had a good time. That was followed by a trip to The Hardrock Cafe and more photos and great food.
So Saturday there was even more work for the Peterazzi. A return trip to the Fair. There was a great dog show, Deep Fried foods, A great tiger and lion show. Watching the Show Horses and Photos was interesting. Those ladies (not all but most) sure are pretty and so are the horses. It was pretty interesting. Then there where other Photos of the fair to be taken like that Organ type ride thing.
Now the Peterazzi still isn't done. He has a few pictures to take at a brunch today. He is also hoping that others besides him self are able to attend. Taking pictures and talking is sometimes tough to ballance. Besides that would make for better pictures anyways......
The Peterazzi isn't even sure how to get all the photos devolped and then they also need to be downloaded. Not to mention uploaded here and to a couple other sites. Oh yeah and then there is the paying for them also. So The Peterazzi has some thinking to do....... The Point is Being The Peterazzi isn't all fun and games, ARGh :)

Some people who do digital don't print any photos, they put them on a computer and disc and online and share them that way. If you have pictures on say a CD yeah you can view them on a TV but there are two problems with that.
1. Tech changes and when (and at some point it might) CDs are no longer the format used to hold stuff then your pictures no longer are viewable (i have some pictures on hard disk that still haven't been converted to CD)
2. To view pictures you need some kind of device to view them
As with pictures that are printed you don't need any device they physicaly are there you just turn a page.
So Yes I print them. If a picture is un viewable then I delete it. I mean The Peterazzi deletes it.

I thought the whole point if digital is that you don't have to pay to have them developed- do you mean printed or have you gone back to non digital pics? I can't imagine having to pay for film conaiderong the amount of pictures we take.

weekend so Far Has been GreatCategory: summer
So On Wendsday Night I went to the Bison's game and had a good time helps that they won and played well......
Thursday got to sleep in some. Went to the fair with my Sis and my niece. That was fun but a little intense at times. Later that night it was the ultimate night of destruction. Figure 8 racing bus and mini bus demolition and some monster truck freestyle. It is just to bad it was the same night as (e:ladycroft)'s dinner. The other down side is even though I had what I thought where decent tickets a lot of the action was hard to see. There where a couple fair things I missed so I think I'm leaving early sat to go and have fun again.
Today went and got my check from work and took care of some bills. Then treked out to the Falls for The Maid of the Mist and the HardRock Cafe (US side , don't have a passport or the legal equivalent of that). That was a good time. I got lucky and was early in line so picked a place up front, man some of that mist is intense, I tried to take pictures as I enjoyed it. The weird part was taking the 40 it has been some time since I've done that (used to take it 2 times a day for work), so that brought up some memories. All in all so far a great weekend. So to some up........
So far I have had a good weekend hope everyone has a great rest of their weekend........

Thing with the maid of the mist is that I learned is you have to have something to wipe the water off the camera, or maybe I just needed to be in one of the water modes or maybe be up top of the boat. Cause the spray (mist) soaks you so some pictures look good but some it is like water drops and mist. Hoping to start the download and upload process on sunday........

Glad to see you made it to the maid of the mist. Its pretty cool. I can never get any good pictures of it because it is too wet and I don't want to ruin my gadgets. Someday I want to go with like an underwater camera, lol. The cave of the winds is pretty cool too. You can see it from the maid of the mist, its where the people walk up to the falls of those wood structures,

The ExpendablesCategory: movies
So the expendables has a bunch of action stars in it. If you like action movies you will like this. I can't say what I would have liked to see with out giving anything away. I had a good time. I'm still hoping to see Salt, maybe next weekend or maybe I'll go someplace we shall see...... That being said Tonight it was either Transformers or Inglorious Bastard's I'm going with Inglorious I think, wish I had it on dvd, One of the versions I guess you can watch that entire German movie they are watching. I found out the other day this movie is a remake. I was flipping channels and saw (IFC or Sundance) about 10 of a movie called The Inglorious Bastards Wish I knew it was on before there was some scene is some type of truck where the one guy wanted to go to America and open up some kind of store after the war, just like in the "New" version. Yes it is a little heavy on the talking but I still want to rewatch it anyways............

MorvellsCategory: summer
So On Tuesd. I went down to the final Bidwell Park way series and it was insane.
1. Take down the stupid rope thing all it does is cause more problems and takes away some of the lawn.
2. Kids having there version of a mosh pit was crazy
3. Next time have to get there early if I want to be in the middle.
4. I get blankets and chairs but there where multiple parties with multiple tables.
I did go to Zillycakes before hand:

I wish I could have seen the indian dancers. Next year I will make sure to plan better for that. I really don't get what sea lions have to do with an inland county fair. Sometimes, I feel like they are just reaching too hard to include everything.

Well what I will say again (yes I lost a comment on my own blog). Is that I only saw the kids during the 2nd half of the show since I moved. When the kids where running around it did kinda look like a circle pit. Sometimes they where caring a kid by arms and legs, all the kids seemed to be having a great time in that open field. When the fire truck (no emergency that I know of) I thought they where going to at at like warped tour and turn on the hose and turn it into a mud pit, HA. It was hot but I guess not that hot..............

The Scary thing is when she will do something that my sis did at around that same age (so far only a couple things, but it is tough to remember way back then and behaviors).
We really did have too much fun last year. :-) I had hiccups from laughing so much. Too bad couldn't make it there this year. Fun photos! Your niece resembles her mum so much!
