"Oh Me, Oh My"
Category: random
So, summer is winding down. I hate that. I guess all seasons have to, but for whatever reason, Winter seems like to loiter like a bad party guest, rummaging for more dip in the fridge when you just want to go up to bed. My informal exercise program this summer has included laps of the Erie Basin Marina and the Central Wharf. It was interesting to note the stage for the concerts was away for a time before returning for the last stand this weekend. I've partaken in the local outdoor shows with greater abandon this year and I've had a lot of fun doing it. It's a bit of a double-edged sword. Some arrive for the music, some arrive to just be there, and some just arrive.

While there are already a couple of nice indoor shows coming up for this music buff, the Great Big Sea show is something I've been looking forward to since June and somewhat of a curtain closer as well.

I like a good fun band outside, but the idea that one last trip to Artpark for the Machine's Pink Floyd tribute show might need a jacket is an idea that I'm not quite adjusted to yet.



I know, anticipation of fall is a beautiful thing, but I just want one more beach trip or to in, before we call it a season.

1. Hope you enjoyed it
2. We need all the yous to stay in Buffalo so I can't believe I'm saying this......
2A. (never been my self) but move and take the Family To San Diego heard they have the best weather in the country they may have seasons not sure.... Of course you would just have to land a job at their zoo... Again never been but heard it is one of the best in the country...

This time of year when summer is ending and it is like why was there this cool stuff I did and this stuff I missed how is it over is kinda depressing.....

My Canadian-turned-Tioga Countian doctor told me I absolutely must see Great Big Sea when they're in Buffalo. I'm not sure I'm going to manage that but I hope you do!!

LOL I cannot agree more with that (absolutely hilarious!) picture you painted. I just push that guest into the swimming pool in the backyard and hope they don't know how to swim and then secretly get rid of the body so there is no evidence of them ever loitering in.

The GM plant looks so much like a tacky alien watching over the skyway. :) The dome of the HSBC arena is the spaceship.

under the skyway seem so dead without the stage.

Interesting perspective on the photos

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.
metalpeter - 08/16/11 17:47
Think for Alice Cooper they might want a different set up... Hope my camera is ok there..... Enjoy the new Camera.....
paul - 08/15/11 10:21
Ya, I am not sure why they would close that space up early. Its not like the season isn't short enough already.
tinypliny - 08/14/11 21:42

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
tinypliny - 08/09/11 16:45
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.
