Friday (e:terry) and I headed over to Mickey's for his housewarming party. His apartment is in the amazing white building with the big porches and columns on Colonial Circle. (e:Paul) was sick although I didn't feel it yet, so we were free to live it up at cat-infested parties for a night.

It was a really nice place, but Terry and I became recluses in the back nook with (e:Robert), Jenn, Callie and her boyfriend. Robert made this dangerous blackberry punch, and cucumber sandwiches.

On the way there and back Terry and I had most of our conversation auf Deutsch. I'm really happy with the progress I'm making in speaking German lately. He made bean dip at home but I fell asleep before it was even ready.








hawt like his bean dip

Not the Delaware North building. They've been building this at South Park and Michigan for over a month now. Its right next to the NFTA rail depot.

It's not a real building, just a marine grade plywood shell with nothing inside. The lot used to be a tiny grassy corner. It seems weird to be some sort of replica light house, because its definitely inland and nowhere near the actual harbor. I doubt it's anything historic because they're using vinyl siding on it and the old DL&W terminal used to cover this. What could it possibly be?

Bike month is almost here.

So the rumors were true, there is going to be a ride on the skyway on May 31st (the day after Buffalo's only critical mass).
It's kind of expensive at $40 a pop for GOBike members but it's a really good fundraising idea. I'm planning on volunteering, if anyone else wants to, it gets you on the ride and a free beer.
You can sign up here.

If only we could get a www.worldnakedbikeride.org in June. It sounds ridiculous but I feel like it'd be so fun. Henry from GoBike said there might be one. Maybe I should start a facebook event for it - if we have enough people you can't be arrested right?

Monday (e:paul), (e:terry) and I went out to Dyngus day celebrations with Emily and Lindsay.
We headed to the main area outside of the Central Terminal. Note for the future: you probably can find a wrist band in the trash heap/ground. I guess it's for the Central Terminal so maybe a good cause?
Although it came up on google - Paul didn't think so - (e:paul,38839)

The polka band was awesome in a weird way. I can't picture dancing to that music any other time but it was a good time. (e:Paul) got hit on by a married man, we found a ground beer, the weather was perfect and the crowd was so sloppy-energetic.

It does seem a little weird that the whole region flocks to the city's most forgotten neighborhood just once a year to get loud and drunk, and then never comes back. I wonder how the residents feel about it?

Afterwards Emily left but we all headed to DBGB's. The was free food but it was only sausage and pasta - blech. We danced a little more before walking home actually just at midnight so I got to sleep.


Prost! (don't know what poles say)

The only polish person got pussy willowed

Someone was flying this helicopter with a camera on it - I want to fly one

Some girl and her pink flamingo



I want to post this one picture of Lindsay but she'd kill me.

After the programming job, (e:paul), (e:terry) and I rode our bikes over to Sameer and (e:yesthatcasey) for Sameer's birthday party. The party was amazing and so was the paneer masala, this lemon angel-food style cake, and the company. I met a few of (e:Paul)'s coworkers.




Afterwards, (e:flacidness) and his cousin came over to hang out with Terry, while (e:paul) fell asleep in front of the fire. I headed out to Hardware for Catherine's birthday. It was some artvoice thing that night, and it was so packed with bros we didn't stay very long.


Carrie, Lindsay and I got some Lloyd's. My burrito was so hot it made me start crying. I had to stop at 7-11 for water. We were hung out at Lindsay's but we accidently woke up her mom.



Saturday night (e:xandra) came over to celebrate her birthday. (e:czarkasms) brothers even came over. It was a good time but I was so tired, I had to take a napchen pretty early.


Paul and I left for a bit to take (e:Mike) home after his daydrinking ended with a tireslashing.
