After the hike, we went to Lucy's for Ethiopian. The food was too spicy for me, but I didn't cry like last night. The food wasn't as good at Garturs but the service was slightly better.

Afterwards we stopped at the coop for a peanut butter treat. (e:Paul) noticed a scallop that was orange? why?

We went up today to wandern up at the gorge. It was a perfect temperature, so good to be outside more now.

The water and rapids were crazy high today. Most of the low rocks were submurged. (e:terry) and I went spelunking in holes and almost a sewer overflow.

Yesterday, to celebrate tax day, (e:terry), (e:heidi), (e:dianne) and I went out to Alley Cat bar. This is the bar next to Allentown pizza that's been coming soon for nearly(over?) two years now.

Unfortunately I forgot my phone, so I had no pictures. It was done really well inside. The music was kind of dad rock type of stuff but that may have been the bartender's choice. They're food mostly comes from Allentown pizza if you're into that.

The bar was dead besides the bartender and his daughter( it was a Tuesday night). He was super talkative and friendly - he kept feeding us pretzels and popcorn.

But at the end of the night he barely charged us anything for the 7 total beers. I think he officially charged us $16 for something that should have been at least $28. We left more than the difference in cash but it still seems crazy to make a mistake that big.

On Sunday, (e:mike) came over, and led us on a tour of his usual walks downtown. We got a tour of the most deserted places.

It made me think that as much as I love Buffalo, if you were someone from out of town and had to stay downtown, it's really freaking depressing, especially before the summer. It'd be just as easy to think that's all there is to Buffalo as if you stayed out on Transit Road.

This, along with the 99 Bills tickets billboard makes Buffalo look like a ghost town. He played for us in the mid 90's. Does that make this sign historic now?

Afterwards we went to Kaydara for lunch. (e:paul) got the shrimp bowl, while (e:terry) and I split a bunch of veggie tofu options. They were really tasty, especially the creme brulee dessert. The waiter was actually a kid who grew up on my street. The manager was super nice but a bit crazy. She made Terry a really good coffee and even gave us extra to split.


















Then we finished up dumpstering at home. We got the disgusting green room rug out the window and a bunch of rotten logs from the yard. Here's Paul with his conquest.

I don't have many pictures of the night, but after dinner, (e:terry), (e:mike) and (e:flacidness) all met up with us to go to Marcella's (it was Keke's birthday). No fingernails were broken. We danced until about 3:30 since the music was better than usual.



We got home where (e:paul) eventually passed out. Terry TK and I stayed up playing music videos, and before we knew it the sun was up and it was 7am.

For a little while the living room turned into a late 90's prom.

Yeah I know, vertical video. Terry didn't want me recording. He's so good though, I love when he sings.
