So (e:yesthatcasey) came with us down to the Electronic Odyssey music festival at Willow Creek Winery. It was supposed to be an overnight EDM event but ended up being a terrible jam band/hip hop remix event. It was so bad it makes me think there are no good dance events around. I'd definitely never come back here again.
(e:paul) and I did get about an hour of good dancing in. And we had some delicious greasy food. We played a lot of glow Frisbee. But the best part was that it was a good place to observe bro culture. I don't think I've ever hears so many unironic "bros" before. There was a lot of bromance going on too. All morning we got to hear about how one bro snuck in a tent and stole another bro's socks.

Dead LakeCategory: environment
We're down in Silver Creek for the Willow Creek music festival. We thought maybe we could go swim in the lake but it turned out to be literally brown with sewage. Not to mention the giant rotting catfish in the sand.
Its so fucking gross that with the amount of money in this country we don't even try to keep our water clean. for example, buffalo's sewer control program is only going to handle 70 percent of sewage overflows, at a cost of $380 million by 2034. We really can't dedicate any more resources to that? The US can spend hundreds of billions on the military and tens of billions on arming other countries,http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_foreign_aid ($3 billion in military aid to Israel) but there is only $19 million a year for Buffalo to stop dumping literal shit in our water.

Farmers MarketCategory: food
The farmers market was so good today. So many berries and cherries were ready. The green beans looked amazing too, I can't remember having such fresh ones in a long time.
We even got cheese curds from the hot goat man.
Basra got to enjoy some too.

I didn't notice if they squeaked. But they were delicious (and pricey - $7!!).
(e:vasbyt) I should just get a picture with him since he's famous, right?
If I acted out a scene from the movie with him, it'd make me a porn star.

Why just pictures. I say you act out a scene of a movie with him and then post the video.

Block Club SecretsCategory: dancing
After the Unconventional Measurements show we headed over to block club. The dancing was fun, and the secret theme was awesome. (E:Paul) and I wrote not-so-secret secrets in German on the typewriter. We met up with Kerry, Andrew who I used to row with in high school and a Emma from gobike.
(E:Paul) had a less fun time getting stuck in kreiswichsen conversations outside. Less talking more dancing.
Afterwards Terry and I went to the shit mansion, but he didn't last too much longer. We got some Lloyd's nachoes and headed home.

Unconventional measurementsCategory: art
(e:Paul) (e:Terry) (e:yesthatcasey) and I missed The Buffalo bike party ride, but we were able to stop by dreamland for unconventional measurements. Mickey had built an amazing minecraft model of downtown buffalo on an Xbox (without scripting). He called it 'Views of Buffalo' I think. It included a Byron Brown sphinx complete with a cart ride through his butt.
I am not an arty person but computer art and data is something I can get into. Unfortunately some of these charts made no sense. I guess I am not an artist though because I couldn't get a clear picture.

I know pictures of sewage but.. beautiful nonetheless.
