Food truck Update
Category: buffalo
So there is something I need to explain for people who have read stuff on here and facebook..... I am pro food trucks and think they are a great Idea... I'm not one of those people who only see my side all the time... I can see how someone from a certain point wouldn't agree with something or even how they might be trying to do something a certain way.... Well with some thing not all and one can't really know a different perspective unless they have been in that spot....



lloyds Kickstarter Page currently they have like 17 hours to go.... Yes I should have written about this last night....Yes I donated some money but won't say how much... How much you give determines how much you get.... You only get charged the money you give if they make the goal.... They are trying to get a 2nd truck....

So this got a lot of bad press I guess some people got really upset about this.... There was an article in the artvoice about it....



Now on Facebook a few people posted about this and thanks cause that reminded me I wanted to help them out and give some money..... Now the point was brought up about out rage like this is why Buffalo will never be anything.... I'm sorry I don't remember the exact debate. But my point was kinda that I get why people think that a Business shouldn't ask for money.... If you that is taco truck or a theatre company your prices and what you spend need to be that you make enough money on your own..... The other point I was making was that in this town.... The government is so corrupt and they do so little and the people do most things really.... So that makes everything from Panos to saving the trico Building political..... That drives people to be so over involved.... Also Buffalo has a history of doing stupid things like putting a high way in the middle of the park....

Hope these guys get there money and get a 2nd truck.....

Oh yeah forgot about the no meat thing...... Yes the Krazy Corn is great!!!!
tinypliny - 03/30/12 17:37
Their Corn and butter + garlic is very tasty.
metalpeter - 03/30/12 17:30
Well they haven't contacted me yet.... But at the level I gave I think I get a Free taco, Bottle of Rocket Sauce, Shirt, Bumper sticker, and not sure how this part works but I get to sign the truck.... They had one package where you got a speed pass... If I worked downtown I would have got this or If I would be able to eat there weekly... Think it was in my price range? Say 30 People in line you walk up the to front of course anyone else with one would be able to do that to.... But maybe it was out of my price range.... But no real shares in the truck......
tinypliny - 03/30/12 17:21
So you got yourself a free taco and coop shares in the truck? :-)
metalpeter - 03/30/12 17:13
Just to update this.... They got enough Money so they will be getting a 2nd truck.... Also people who are backers will (not sure how it works yet) will get what the premiums are for their level of backing.....

Smash
Category: tv
So I tried to watch like 5 minutes of the voice and I'm sorry I can't I like Christina to much with her huge rack and you can sometimes see what looked like not her nipples but however you spell the thing that pasties cover..... It is to much for me to take... Plus it is on when Wrestling is on... But after that is a great show I think called SMASH.... It is kinda like Glee in a way that it is a singing show.... Or maybe kinda like Fame was.... But it isn't a school it is adults going through a musical so yes there is drama and sex as well not that they can show any thing really on NBC nudity wise.... So I DVR it and I think it is great..... So I figured I would find a few youtube videos to post.... Now what I don't know is how they do season 2.... Will it be the same actors and the story continues about the musical going on and maybe a new cast or do they do a different musical I have no idea.... Story wise the musical isn't even all written..... So here are a few videos I assume......





a scene from a club



Great Voice Yes there are some odd pop up things on the video.... She currently plays the back up.......


This is Monroe well the person playing her.....


Now I like many different bands and styles..... But one thing I like about the musical style... Or at least one reason why I think I like it... Is that when it is good when a note is held.... the sound of the word or letter is kept... How many songs does someone say a a word and hold it and you have no idea what it is they just sang.......

I admit This is the first time hearing this.... Of course unless you are a punk band covering this is such a touch song... No one can do it as good as Judy Garland........



Ok that is plenty..... The vocals are great but they are so better with the visuals so you know whom is singing.....

Well that is plenty If cars are you thing enjoy.... One of these days I would love to go to one of those shows with the not all ways but often busty and or Asian Car models where you have no idea if one looks at the girl or the car wonder how it is to take photos there.... Think one needs to go to Toronto for those.....
metalpeter - 03/26/12 16:26
Not only is that a nice car but I'm guessing it is the most drivible what I mean is during the summer some of those cars with out knowing anything seem to custom one dent and argh there goes the summer and all the money......
paul - 03/25/12 18:23

Bandits Won...Wow!
Category: photos
So on Saturday I found out that the Bandits Won the night before in Toronto I was shocked....... Then on Saturday night at the home game vs. The Swarm the won again..... Good game and a great time.... I loved and wished I could well ok maybe I still could have bought the new jersey I just went with the shirt.... But on second look the shirt doesn't make sense why does it say Buffalo? Well maybe to do the Irish Colors? Also wish they had something like a hoodie with a bigger symbol.... But maybe they had plans for both based on the weather?



The Bandettes.......



Then I also made an album cause someone I know jumped up and put his hand over the glass and the players jumped up a slapped his hand kinda like a high five.......



So a Few pix from the game and win.........

2012 St. Patrick's Day Parade
Category: photos
So I wish I had My Pictures on Webshots but haven't had the time cause there you can view a slide show ..... Maybe revisiting the youtube slide show is an idea.... About 200 photos on the book of face....



Now on my Way home I tried to capture the culture and I don't know if that is possible really.... Didn't go into any bars with the Walking dead and animation domination line up and having to work the next day.... Wish I would have gone to see Henry Rollins Spoken word...... But oh well.....



Hoping that the pictures I post show the spirit of the parade if that is possible.....?

metalpeter - 03/21/12 17:38
I was going to go to Allen at first and go hang out with that area and then close to those nice houses there was a big open space so I figured well I know I can see good here so I sat down..... I heard there where some zombie walkers who weren't in the parade that would have been cool to see someone I work with was with the group......
paul - 03/21/12 03:16
We were so close to you. About half a block down.
