So that to the (e:PMT) and all the people who brought all the Booze......

I didn't get everyone's pictures :( ........ So Hoping others got pictures as well.....




































































Well this seems like a logical place to stop .... It is so Weird it is New Years day and NFL Football.... Looking forward to Watching the Dallas Vs. Giants game tonight winner wins the Division could be a great game....

So One thing I hate about the shower is that it makes you think.... Hot water relaxes you and then thoughts come to mind and this isn't political it is just some thoughts on Food trucks...

1. I Am a Fan of them
2. What got me going in the entire debate all over the web was that some people wanted to boycott places that didn't like them, But now would it be ok if say I like say Just Pizza to boycott food Trucks.....NO
3. Not sure if the laws and rules got made legal I know they where voting but not sure I think they did pass and they seemed fair except The garbage can thing

   ---

   > I get it they are mobile and they should keep the place where they part Clean but do you really want that trash back inside a moving Truck?..........Um No........ ---> Also the distance is from the property line so that means where how does one know the property line of a building.....
4. What I think that I'm the only one talking about is the fact that there is this perception that the trucks aren't regulated and Clean.........
5. Again it is a perception... Any truck can just roll up and serve and then vanish off into the night like a gypsy
6. Think of it this way if you where walking to the store and before you got there and someone was selling Bread and Milk what would you think? Would you go hey it is snowy and blowy and cold and this upstanding young man is out here making money .... Doubt it would be more of a milk and bread on the street I don't think so.... It sure would look shady but is it.....
7. If There was a Well established Theme Park with games that if you play basketball on a team you can win but no one else has the skills or maybe a pro bowler could win that other game..... How would you feel if the on the road leading to your place a Traveling Carnival set up.... Yes with a Freak show and rides and games that are rigged ..... Yes dancing Girls and the Kooch show..... Don't think you would like it very much... Yes the freak show would be great.........

Now to be honest I didn't have a point these where just some thoughts that one of the issues with the food trucks is that they appear to be a fly by night business.... Not that they are... But in theory they could go where ever they want sell what they want then Vanish off into the night... Yes it is true that they being some places will cost some places Business but they will also help get some people Business... But Again some places don't see that.... Say I'm walking down Elmwood there are two kinds of people those that

1. Plan where they are going to go and that is what they are doing
2. People who walk and just go to where or what they feel like

Now if you plan and see oh Food truck on elmwood ok I'll make that part of it then yes you are taking food away from where ever you would have planned to go if the truck wasn't there.... But if you get there and the line is 11 people guess what the plan changes even though you really want lloyds "Oh Wait ETS is kinda pricey and Jim's has Tacos ok I'll go there"

Now if you are the person who just walks if you will be on elmwood again soon then you might go... Taco's two days in a row um no.... So you have to pick a Taco Place if the food truck is first then you might go... Cause the food truck won't be there the next time on elmwood......

See that is what the places don't get is that the food trucks do bring more people to where they are and that helps everyone.... But I do get why the people who have worked for years getting there name established don't see this.... I think a big part of that (again not them so I shouldn't be writing for them) is that they see them as kinda the old world gypsy they come here get your money and steal your babies....

Again though just some thoughts.......

I admit that It had (The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo) had an amazing Opening that was so cool.... Now I never read any of the books so I have no idea where this story is book wise or how it translates... What I thought I heard is that this is a Remake of the Sweedish Movie based on the book but I have no idea.... Yes some of it was a bit brutal to say the least but the chick seems pretty cool to me... Or maybe her being nude help? I also saw some interesting Previews of some cool looking movies.... One of them was just a poster Tim Burton has a movie called "Abraham Lincoln Zombie Hunter" The poster is pretty bad ass.... Now when I last went to a movie it was at the Galleria Mall and gotta say those seats that move didn't like and the cup holders that pull down kinda tough.... But after this long movie maybe those are a good idea my lower back was very tight well it was a good time..... Oh yeah and on the way home got some Champagne and some Flavored Vodka for tonight!

I admit I had no idea about these windows... Cousins where coming in to see them... They do look pretty nice... I don't have the skills to get the close ups through the glass though... See you get reflection of what is around off the glass.... Now though with a flash assuming it doesn't bounce of the glass and make a bright spot shockingly looked like it killed most of the reflection?

So I missed these guys last Year.... If you like Classical Music played with Rock Guitars....Yes it is a bit over the top but fun..... Oh and a nice Christmas Story with Christmas music then you would like this.... Nice write up in today's Buffalo News.... So there was stuff that was new to me.... One thing that I like about how they do a show is that the lighting is also part of the show.... meaning the stuff it is rigged up on has screens and things like that.......









































































Thought I would Pause here for a second and say that I sometimes think of this as a light show.... In person you can see the people but I think often times the Camera picks up more of the light... For example what looked purple to me looked blue on the camera screen... Also it is tough to follow everything ... They had this cat walk that lowered and people played on it.... At the end of the show some kid came up on stage.... They had a stage with some pyro .... My point is it is a lot of fun but you can't see it all and the Camera sure can't get it all.... Thurs. Of this week is WWE... Granted it is a house Show and means I'll miss TNA on TV but it will be fun..... Ok back to Pictures from the show......
































































































































Now that being said I wonder does anyone agree with me on a couple things about First Niagara Center that Bother me..... From the outside it says First Niagara Center but the center is like an after thought and is smaller and less bright...Looks trashy to me.... Now maybe at a hockey game I wouldn't think this but Beer Ads hanging from the Rafters..NO! NO! NO! I don't care that Labatt is now in Buffalo! That is for Banners of Players and Championships not an Ad! There is plenty of room for Ad space keep it out of There! Maybe I'll see how it looks During wrestling and still not like it..... Ok few more pix...
