Prayer In The Park
Category: hiking
We went hiking at Niagara Gorge the other day and the Christians had some prayer in the park thing going on.

I can't believe how loud they are. There were like 15 of them but with their loud speakers you would think it was for a crowd of 500.

Why is having a giant loudspeaker not illegal in a state park? I mean most of the people came there to visit the nature and you couldn't hear anything over their bullshit.

Now to Bash them.... (joking a bit but a bit serious as well) Now maybe they did this and you just didn't get it on film.... If they where "Real Christians" they would be down by the water doing baptisms and Spiritual Cleanings (wrong word) but you know cleaning up the sin and all that rebirth stuff with white robes and stuff.....
metalpeter - 09/14/11 18:56
Can't believe I'm going to defend them and then bash them all in the same comment... I like the speaker idea cause if say you are a god loving person and you know or heard it is going down but not sure where then you can find them.... Plus if you are a true Believer you think you should spread it around so everyone else comes to your view....

Not The Chicken Wing

Saw this next to Ulrich's today and thought it would make a good addition to my roadkill photos although this looks like a distinctly feline creation.

He heard he had wood so thought he should as well? Wait I thought it was a girl? Most likely this is just a way to say "Hey I'm the alpha you do what I say this is my place you eat what I let you eat"?

Oh, he is fine now. He finally pooped a whole bunch of normal poop.

Don't you think your weak and sick new tortoise is being traumatized by the unruly parakeet-murderer? I wonder if you shoul keep them apart atleast until the new one gets better and is able to fend for himself.

Welcome to outerspace
Category: dancing
The location is awesome. There are three stories of dancefloors. One in giant theater with a massive vinyl dance floor. It is so perfectly slippery. Then they have an outdoor stage.

Sadly, although I am dancing I am wildly preoccupied with several other issues. Sometimes I wish I had the constitution to be a heroin junkie so I could just escape.

@(e:tinypliny) and at (e:Paul) also I guess you don't want that drug all you need to relax from what I have Heard is a nicely cooked Stake and a beer.... Or if that doesn't work that Japanese women from that party book....

Heroin junkies find it hard to reverse engineer anything.

You worry too much...

Maybe you should do a photographic series on the peculiarities of period furniture in erstwhile Buffalo.
matthew - 09/10/11 19:43
This makes me sad. I bought a lot of stuff from Harold. Unlike most antique stores in allentown, his stuff was actually affordable to most people who live in the city. I went to an antique dealer on Elmwood and Allen and there was nothing in the shop that cost less than $2,000. I asked him how he managed to stay open, he replied that 90% of his business is from selling pieces online. Local business? Harold curiosities shopped was one of the old style antique shops before the age of antique roadshow and eBay. You could go there and find actual antique pieces of furniture that were made and/or owned originally in Buffalo. Ask all the new antique shops on Hertle Ave where their stuff comes from, the answer is all over the county , from eBay. Harold could actually tell you where every piece he sold came from. Not just whether it was from Buffalo or East Aurora, he could tell you what family commissioned the piece to be made and who owned it up to the year it was sold off. You cant get that info from online shopping. I have a 1922 Mersman table that I bought from Harold for $175. he told me it was originally a piece from the Williams and Pratt Mansion (now know as the Butler Mansion at Delaware & North ( I didn't believe him until he showed me a photograph.)) and it means more to me than other piece of furniture I own. Good luck, Harold.

Or is that Cafe 56? I forgot. I also forgot the name of the mediterranean place. Fickle is my memory. Hummus plate? Pita pit? what was it... it has a branch elsewhere on elmwood too. Damn it. I just can't remember!!!
tinypliny - 09/10/11 19:20
Oh lol, no wonder there are chairs in the window. I thought they had stacked their restaurant chairs there for sale. Speaking of restaurants on Allen, has anyone tried the new place that replace the disastrous Mediterranean place next to Cafe 65?
heidi - 09/10/11 18:37
It was an antique shop. Yeah, more restaurants! :-)
tinypliny - 09/10/11 17:48
Where was this place? I don't even remember seeing it. What did it serve?
