'Nuff Said
This is the demographic of Western New York that goes to this things or the part that you just can't shake like a bad smell in old sneakers.
They don't want to remember the band, music or show; This is what it's all about to them!

Social Engineered (sort of)Category: stalking
So I was sitting at the Orange Cat today with my Mom in Lewiston 
and I overheard a couple of young women say something to the effect of:
Blah Blah Blah, Over there him, Blah Blah Blah It's like a facebook for Buffalo Blah Blah Blah...
Then I realized that I tweeted that I was there at the OC and this profile page is linked to my twitter account. It's funny because when I looked under the Orange Cat in the search box I saw the twitter account for the chick that was sitting in front of me.
I always used to get crazy about my Ex-Girlfriend talking about specific details about my life out in public. I remember down in Florida I was able to locate a ton of info on someone from 4 words from a conversation on a patio restaurant.
To be honest I really don't care too much as I'm trying to maximize my twitter account to get my Klout score up just because I'm bored with being off of work. But it is creepy sometimes when you're out and you swear you recognize someone then realize that you saw a dating profile of them somewhere on OK Cupid or Plentyoffish.
To me this experience was a bit amusing and goes to show how digitized we are as in the amount of info we can pull up on each other in public with just a tiny bit to go on. Yet going over to them and striking up a conversation in person would be ultra creepy. It's just part of the whole text but don't call type of thing that we've moved into these days.

I love it when strangers and random acquaintances come talk to me about what they read on my blog but I think other people think thats creepy.

Yeah sounds odd. Speaking of that I think that might be what happened with an (e:peep) called Lil'Bit or something like that... I know I have seen pictures of her (not doing any thing sexual like) on line someplace..... In Fact I can't remember what event it was but we where both there and one of the people you knew from one of those sites kinda crazy......

I read both Articles today before noon so something may have Changed.... But it implied that the Arena will Stay the HSBC Arena... I didn't read the article I saw online about losing the 30,000 Jobs..... Now in terms of Naming rights I think it would have to stay HSBC Arena. Cause like as an example Key Bank I think has multiple places named after it..... Do I love that they had the sports history and now the Sabres history stuff in the Arena yeah... But yeah know what they act like that is the only thing good in the arena No mention of any other team that played there.... So maybe Pegulia should find out how many years are left on the naming rights and how much it is pure year and just (assuming he has the cash) and Just buy them out (Has it ever been done can it be done).... Then Rename it Peguliaville ..... Wouldn't that be great to hear that on the national stage... Also lets face it Buffalo is a city of hard workers and tough times but not winners so if we ever do win the cup with 50,000 people out side in the snow when the marina every car and Peguilaville burns to the ground won't that sound great.... Peguilaville is on fire Peguilville is burning down....There isn't enough cops to stop the riots in around and outside of Peguilaville....They have to send the riot team to Peguilaville (assuming we win at home).... Listen I was at one bandits championship and people where banging on cars if the sabres ever won there would be riots..... The good kind.....

Remember the good ol' days when we named stadiums after things we actually liked or respected?

That is funny........
Reminds me of song I may have the wrong band but they sound like "Good Charlotte" There was this song that goes "Mommies all right Daddies all right they just seem a little weird " or something like that well they take that music and have the line "Girls don't like the guys they like cars and money" I wonder if I can find it on youtube...

waterstreetlandingCategory: sucks
Basically I'm writing to say that water street landing at in 115 South Water St Lewiston NY 14092 716.754.9200 in Lewiston NY totally SUCKS.
Basically we were at another Lewiston Establishment, told there was a hour wait. This was 6:20 PM. We tried to figure out what else to do and then called this place. They said that they could serve a party of 4 when we arrived, Great. We came down sat in the pub side, which was half empty. This is now 6:35 as we order a round of drinks. Time flies by it is not 7:15 we have to WAIVE or FLAG Down the bartender/waiter at this point to get another round. The food should be out by now right? NO, 7:35 rolls around, still no food. Keep in a couple who came after us ordered, ate and paid their check and is out the door at this point is on their way to see a concert at Artpark, the same one we are heading to.
At this point we just pull a typical Hell's Kitchen and pay for the drinks and walk out. The ironic part is that they kept on stalling us to give us our bar tab. Talk about adding insult to injury. We after a hour plus of waiting we walked out as we had to catch the concert at Artpark.
If you're thinking about this place make sure you have time to waste looking at the view of the Niagara River float by because that's all this place is good for is the view. The food is over priced and the service is non-existent.
Another thing manager is extremely rude. She made it a point to insult me saying "we're extremely busy on the patio." Well guess what Ma'am I'm from Lewiston, my parents came here now as I won't let them frequent this establishment any longer 2-3 times a month; It wasn't any busier today than it would be on a typical Wednesday. There are concerts at Artpark every Tuesday and Wednesday during the summer months; this is clockwork not a surprise. I've been here on Friday for fishfry which in Western New York is a well frequented and busy event, it wasn't even 1/2 as busy as it was Today.
Horrible Staff and Service, if you like being insulted while looking at the river then this is your place. When does the customer deserve blame to wait over a hour for their order to be served without any contact or explanation. A simple apology would have sufficed but the condescending insults were totally uncalled for. People walk out of restaurants for being extremely show all the time, just watch an episode of Hell’s Kitchen. At least Gordon Ramsey takes it out on the staff not the customers. Please keep in mind I an a local non-tourist that lives in the area and whose parents are frequent customers.
Just think if they treat me this way, what do you think they’ll do you to a passing through town tourist?

You Act like you have never been underage and had to many and got really fucked up (I'm kidding around sort of) .... Anyone who has ever had a drink has been that guy once... And anyone who says they haven't been is full of shit!
If I drove there are many free concerts I would go to Like The Tea Party and ZZ Top for the music.... That is why a lot of people go to them is for the music.......
Now of course there is that set of people who are there for a good time and don't care what the band is... What is wrong with that go out there look at the pretty girls and or boys get messed up and listen to music why is that any different than what so many people do in a bar go and just listen to whom ever happens to be there...
I admit I would rather people go for the specific band but some people even who do have to get high or smashed to go and then don't remember the show that isn't my thing and I think it is fucked up but that is how they enjoy the show so just don't spill beer on me or if you do buy me a drink.....
(e:mrmike) The music you hear is the opening act, he HAD to be pre-gaming/tailgating it somewhere. Most people do, that's why the village residents complain about the beer cans & other stuff on their front lawns every Tuesday/Wednesday.
Must be nice to be so well-financed to purchase all those $7 beers
(e:tiny) I shot it on a dark beach in FLA, I realize that it's dark & I like it that way ;-)
(e:leetee) It's totally scary to see, especially when there are hundreds of them in the same place.
Your avatar is too dark, (e:vincent)! I have now viewed over several monitors, colour, saturation, gamma, brightness and contrast profiles and it is uniformly dark everywhere.
Maybe he is the only one enjoying the music and doing an interpretative sufi sort of dance?
it's been a good 20 years since i personally have felt the only way to have a good time is to get toasted. i do, however, know way too many people my age and older who have yet to learn that lesson....
Maybe he needs a V8?
