Instead we had cheesy nachoes and salsa at home. Just as good. (e:paul) even got home earlyish.

Cinco de MayoCategory: holiday
(e:terry) wanted to get nachoes to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. I knew it was going to be crazy out, but the hostess at Don Tequila told us about the 2 hour wait there like we would actually wait around for it.

Erica at the Move the Pole festCategory: music
After the tour, we headed out to (e:czarkasm)'s show at the Library/Forvm out on Maple Road. (e:terry) and I went to pick up (e:yesthatcasey) and got there a little late, but from what I was able to hear she absolutely rocked. The venue was good, but obviously far away. I got a little day drunk on an empty stomach. I couldn't really get any pictures.
On the way home we stopped at Saigon Bankok with Tanya and Erica, then the coop for some snacks and almonds. We saw Cameron and Eric. I don't know what is up with Cameron but it feels like he doesn't want to hang out ever again.
At home (e:paul) took a nap. Casey and Terry Straße gekämpft before we went out to play Frisbee.

Linwood Home TourCategory: linwood
Yesterday (e:paul), (e:terry) and I went on the Linwood home tour with Paul's mom.
The concept seems kind of ridiculous - people pay $25 to go see a bunch of rich people's homes, and the money makes their already nice neighborhood even nicer. Terry made a point that it wasn't always so nice and that having nice neighborhoods in Buffalo makes it nicer for everyone. I guess the point is moot because I haven't been volunteering or improving Buffalo lately, so what can I say?
The houses themselves almost all beautiful. The only one I thought was pointless was an apartment building at the corner of summer that had nothing to look at inside. We also didn't see the Summer Street cat clinic which was on tour.
This one house had a fireplace in nearly every room. The tile was pretty similar to ours, but just glazed differently. Their heating vents also had the same design. I don't have the book right now so I don't know the house number.
The rest of the house was really modern - the owner is an architect
This house had so much hardwood everywhere. It's crazy to think that Buffalo had so much at one time people could cover everything in it.
Someone was putting on a puppet show? We stopped to eat at the Black Market food truck - I had a tofu Bahn Mi.
A former rooming house that was completely gutted for remodeling. Anything left over from before was in really rough shape. The house was huge, apparently there will be 5 apartments when it's finished.
Sink in a bedroom. Antique champagne or pee bucket underneath?
Saturn Club was cool on the inside. It has a weird medieval theme. I don't understand why you pay a club to drink with other wealthy people.

first I'm way behind so sorry about this comment seeming to come out of no where......
I think one of things this tour does is that .... People want to show off their house and like this is how it looks now and that helps keep places in good shape but what I think it also does is people who seem them then can get ideas for things for their homes .....
In terms of the club I don't know if you mean currently .... Or the ones in the past... Cause the wealthy wouldn't party with the not wealthy and that is how they kept there power... Not sure how it worked but you couldn't just like walk in..... I don't know if all that stuff was true but those people ran the world .... I think some of that still might carry on Today.... It is a place where you aren't with say friends or people from work.... or people from the clubs it is people who have enough money and want to be part of a club you have to be excepted into even if it is only with money ????

not the Mayflower! But the house next to the cat clinic in the northeast corner of Summer and Linwood. Beautiful on the outside, not so much on the inside.

Make sure your wood smells goodCategory: house

Interesting .... Never thought about wood having a smell but it does... I've had dresser I think that smelled pretty good that fresh wood smell, never thought that different ones would have a different smell with different paints or varnishes though.... hope they passed the test....

Wipe your pawsCategory: shopping
(e:Paul) found this at target and wanted it - it was so cute - but it was made of shredded PVC and smelled absolutely toxic. We discovered if you strategically cover the bone it works perfectly for pride too.
Who is so bouge they need to buy their kids precut apples, cheese and grapes separately packaged in Disney branded plastic?
