Wanderin'
Category: touring
I took my new Nikon camera with for some wandering around on the marina and broderick park. I think I might have spied (e:matthew) by the Miss Buffalo.

Summer must be winding down for the stage to be put away until the final concerts come in two weeks. and winding down is a sucky thing for a season to do unless it is Winter.

Think for Alice Cooper they might want a different set up... Hope my camera is ok there..... Enjoy the new Camera.....

Ya, I am not sure why they would close that space up early. Its not like the season isn't short enough already.

The Old Economic Theory of Trickle Down Economics ..... Remember when anyone talks about what the economy will do it is based on a Theory ............

The title is an old song lyric. The picture stems from President Reagan advising about wealth "trickling down" to everyone. Given what is actually trickling down these days, it struck me a little amusing

Okay, I have no idea what that means. Is that something only an American would get?

I'm not exactly in love with my Iphone these days, thinking of running to Sprint and getting an EVO on the comparative cheap, but occasionally, you get a keeper.

Exploring the Canals

While waiting for the B52s to join us in Lockport, my main musical partner in crime and I took a wander in the nearby locks.

And there was lots worthy of further exploration, but the Iphone is only so smart. Point being, go play tourist and wander.

You find cool stuff that way.

That's interesting. I never gave a thought to why lockport was called lockport. For some crazy reason I thought it was a port city like Buffalo which was later locked down. lol

Happily, and as per usual, made a bit of a fool of myself at the B-52s show in Lockport. They are still a lot of fun after all these years. I read a little of some band grumbling about the perfomance space and really couldn’t care less. They played a nice set of music and the majority seems to have a blast. I know I did.



I couldn’t help but laugh as there were a few folks watched the show, with an either a stonedfaced expression or a little peeved. What you see is what you get with the B52s and seeing those folks with such zombified expressions, made me laugh even more.

hehe @ zombified expressions at concerts. I went to this concert with my friend (her favourite band, no less) and she was just sitting there with no emotion and I (who had no idea about the band till that evening) was up in the mosh pit rocking out. I guess it is very individual-preference based on how people enjoy their music visually. Coming from a heavy-metal-laden past, I find it extremely hard not to get up and move around when I am at concerts. :)
