So Last night I watched this Documentary though HBO Called Superheros ... Yes it started out with things animated kinda like a comic book and Stan Lee did talk a bit... It followed real Super Heroes ... They Don't have Super Powers... But they dress up and patrol and try and stop and prevent crime and help others out it is pretty interesting......

Glee 3D +Category: movies
So Went to see Glee 3D today.... I think it is the 1st concert movie I've seen at the show but not sure about that but most likely it is.... Now of course how much one likes it or not has to do with song selection.... With out giving to much away they filmed one of the performances of the Glee tour in 3D and then also followed some fans..... So this is kinda a documentary in a way.... I really liked it... Again though based on what song they where doing... Now in terms of the 3D to me it seemed more like High Def? Don't get me wrong it looked great and you could feel a lot of the movement and when you saw the people it was them and the background as kinda two different things hard to explain but I enjoyed it....
The Bit of the downside is that yes it was short well but it was a performance and I'm guessing there was more they didn't show... Or maybe it just seemed that way.... Not sure kinda woke up tired I hate that... I could feel it in my legs as I walked.... I also wanted to see Rise of The Planet of the Apes or some 2nd movie but there was to much time between and maybe could have seen Planet of the apes but didn't want to chance missing any of it.....
I was planning on going to Club Diablo to see Jason and the Punknecks with Hell's Harlots but I think that is out.... Again waking up with low energy or tired is why.... I might be ok to stand for hours and have a drink or two and take photos but doubt it think that is out who knows.... If I was up for it I would have loved to stop at Zillycakes but no way walking all the way down elmwood...... But I did stop into the store at Elmwood and north and they had some football game on maybe I'll watch some of the bills game tonight? Also across the street at that former church there where all kinds of people dressed up... Not sure if it was an event or if they where there for before or after a wedding not sure?
EDIT: I forgot to mention the one thing also is that now with the Fair (Erie county not state) and it being so nice out I felt like I should be there the thing tonight is why I didn't get tickets for the motocross event.... I wonder if having ones heart in two places is why I feel not empty but on low gear? That being said I will go for sure a week from today (ultimate night of Destruction) and just get the moto event ticket there since Tops doesn't sell them anymore not sure who does...... But dragging my self around there might not be the best any ways oh well I guess.....

Well 3D is the only option.... Maybe it was just cause I was tired but it really looked amazing.... It was kinda like here and the people and there is the background but the space between those things was gone hard to explain...
In Terms of the Fair think I'll force my self to go to an event on Sat.....

I like 3D movies in general, but a concert movie just doesn't seem worth it. Unless all movies are 3D now? I totally had forgotten about the fair ;(

Friday SkiffleCategory: photos
So Now at Sportmen's Tavern still not sure if it is with an e or an A and is it owned by sportsmen or is it multiple ones but in any event it is a great place and from what I have heard they get a lot of great bands... I'm sure there are bands I would like that I've never heard of and are not from my Genre of music... The food is pretty good and the drinks are cheap good place for a show... One of these days I need to check out the upstairs since it is now open... Granted the pix are if cause of the light coming in the window but The Skiffle Minstrels are allways a good time... There was an (e:peep) there that I don't know dancing (e:lindyfix) or something like that he teaches dance and has had performers at Music Is Art festival many times so here are the photos.....

It makes perfect sense ... Not to stero type to much... But if say you went to some county in Africa where everyone was above 6 foot and where they learned drums at an early age but not as music but as a way to communicate or I'm sure the way the dance would reflect that culture.... Now I know there are many types of Latin music not sure what they all are and I assume the dancing that goes along with them differs. But if you grew up as a kid knowing how to say ball room dance I'm sure that would line up pretty close to some kind of Latin Dance....
In terms of dancing most do it just for fun for the music at a club or bar or what ever.... Yes there certain dances that must be done in certain steps or the dance is just wrong.... It is great to learn the step and build dancing skills.... Again being someone who doesn't dance.... My gut tells me that although those dancing can be learned with steps and what have you there is still a part where you feel the music.... Yes feel the music and move with it and take your own way of it... Hence at a hardcore show Kicks , elbows and punches if done right it is in their own personal space and as they move no one gets hit but those angry strike moves won't be the same for everyone....
Glad you meet him and that he is nice.....

I have actually met him before. He is a very nice person! I think all dance and art teachers and inherently nice people. There is something so generous about them always. It really takes infinite patience to share your artistic skills with everyone. I am not sure I have disliked any one of my numerous dance teachers. I have liked them all. I think it's frustration with not being able to take the art form further than I could that has resulted me in dropping out of so many. Sometimes the limitations of a dance form are so inherent it's hard to overcome them. Sometimes the culture associated with a dance form can go quite alien to yours and that is also a barrier.
That comment had nothing to do with what you said... but just putting it out there.

I say you walk right up to him (kidding and serious) and Say Hello I'm (e:tinypliny) a fellow (e:strip)per and since you only post about your school and nothing else and don't post pictures from performances I assume that this class is free to me or at a deep discounted rate.... Wonder if he would shit his pants.... Seriously though watched those two dance it is amazing how quick they move. They looked quicker then pro athletes and I do mean that the two of them together moved.... There where others dancing at other times but maybe it is just that the music fit that quick dance style.....

Infringing Thanks e:heidiCategory: photos
So Just gotta explain something before I get into the pictures... With work and internet and doing some things as if you read my previous posts you would have seen maybe I have been a bit behind.... So last night I watched a HBO sports show on Derek Jeter That I thought was amazing... So had to post it here and on facebook.... So I see (e:tinypliny) has a post with 85% Dark Chocolate (my the way that stuff I'm sure is very intense that the 65% stuff is .......) and then there is a comment from (the awesome by the way think we would all agree on that ok maybe awesome isn't the right word feel like I'm in Bill and Ted's but the point is given) (e:Heidi) about fire dancing... I don't know much about it but have seen it in the past and it is all ways pretty cool so figured I might go and ....
That being said I'm not in bar shape at all not that it was at a bar... But shirt covered in Cat Hair from having to move the cat before (long story short exposed to a bat so has to get shots) into its carrier.. Not to mention very sharp claws they don't like sharp till they climb you to get away from you and they magically find the holes in the fabric you are wearing (t-shirt)... So the point is I had been sweating all day I felt and felt gross and nasty (one can't smell ones self so whom knows and whom knows what cents people hate or like.... I hate fish and love gas pumps and Cheetos ).... The point I'm getting to is a felt kinda gross and kinda lazy hence just the wave........ Funny thing is when I got there I didn't give where I sat any thought I could have been right in that spot.... Ok Picture time....... And a very short youtube video.....
Just wanted to add that these pictures pretty much look like how I thought they would.... If one is close enough not me or has the flash set correctly you can hit the darkness with a blast of light and get the person and the fire... How ever (again I'm not good enough to do this) fire is even when not being moved is all ways moving and it is alive (don't mean it has a sole or soul but it has energy and sometimes dances around)... Yes fire is bright on its own but think about when you are in bright room and turn on a burner and can't see it...What makes it look bright is that it is brighter then the dark.. Somewhere there is a level where you can get the fire and see the person being lit by that fire and it is perfect...I'm not at the level I'm sure there is someone on this site that can get that but guessing it still isn't easy... Even though it doesn't seem long that shutter stays open (is it called a shutter on a little digital camera?) longer based on settings or even setting the iso and then it captures the fire moving... So the streaks of light you see is the camera catching the light as it moves (tripod if you have one is great so your hand doesn't shake and make things even worse) and what ever the pattern was for it being open is the streaks you get... I'm guessing that people who are Pros can figure out how long (or what shutter speed to use to get amazing shots of the fire moving of course at a high level the person moves to but that is why they are pros) to keep the lens open for.... Think this works a bit differently on film cause if you over expose it (not sure on this) it could cause problems (again I'm not at that level just do this for fun and play with the settings on the camera no light meters or anything like that)... Think I got at what I was trying to add... This is also how those cool high way pictures look like they do cause the camera has a set freeway and the cars lights it catches as they keep moving and that creates the lines how they get colors not of car lights (blue as an example)... I have no idea....
In any event It was fun thanks to (e:heidi) for the comment and (e:tinypliny) for the post that got it hope ya'll and everyone else (you'll) liked this post as well.....

Not really.... Yes these where both Infringement Festival events that I may have heard of both from (e:heidi) or at least been reminded of in the Burlesque case.... but the rough night was just that I drink and eat everything fast so a tasty drink goes down very quick when stressed it makes them go down even faster and Not use to being done with a drink and a server asking if I want more... I think on say a weekend show they would have been more spaced out her arrivals that is so my body wouldn't have been as over loaded?
The Thing with the cat was more from that a bit and from feeling sticky I felt kinda gross or at least thought someone else may find me that way.... It was still a good time a nice escape from the pad and watching stuff....

Is the story about the cat somehow linked to your rough night post?

Loving the pictures! Thanks so much for posting! (Now I have seen most of the firedancing without moving an inch from my workspace. ;-)

Derek Jeter 3kCategory: movies
So as some of you know I'm a big Movie fan... Just watched a great Documentary ... Derek Jeter 3k... It is not only about his quest to get 3,000 hits but also a bit about his life. It is very good....
Now I have a small 22inch HD TV that I thought was 1080p but I think it is really only 720P and my cable box says 480 all the time so I'm a bit lost. Some shows are the right width but don't take up the height so that tells me the proportions aren't the same..... Even with this Baseball and the non baseball parts still look amazing. You can really feel the movement as well it is tough to explain... It is like Jeter is at bat and the fans are right there. It is really amazing to see... I really do think that Baseball is made for HD... I was at Sportsmen's tavern for the first time and they have a Nice HD TV on a wall and Baseball looked amazing it really did... Hard to explain with out seeing it......
Wish I could explain it better but the movie ( hbo special) is great

That is tough to know how much they really stop they think they do stop it by being on patrol.... The One guy in NYC at the least gets some of the Dealers out of the part?
How effective are they at preventing crime? And what kind of crime do they target. Something about this reminds me of something (maybe some movie trailer?) about that Wilsom character from the US office who is always at odds with the other character who married Emily Blunt in real life. I can't remember anyone's names right now...
