If you want to swim down south, skip Holiday Valley and go straight to Erie. I've never seen such clear water in the lake before. We tried to go to Holiday Valley first but it wasn't great, so we drove another hour and half to Presque Isle in Erie


The holiday valley mud pit

(e:paul) despairing about having to drive more



The water was freezing but I dove in anyway. I couldn't stay very long though.


Sunning ourselves like Basra


Eventually the sun went away and it was too cold to swim again.

So we explored the isle a little more. Here was the Venice of Erie, scrody water included. All the little shacks had boats to go out to them.

After the gorge, (e:yesthatcasey) and (e:paul) went on a bromantic date to Oshun. After they got back, Paul passed out and Casey went home.

(e:Terry) and I went to Dana's Goz Gozah dance party at Milkie's. I thought it was going to be lame because of the location and music last time but it ended up being really good.

When we got there, an girl dressed like America went showed off her flag covered nips.

The music was electronic/jungle-y for most of the time. (e:steve) joined us and we all danced our little tails off.

(e:yesthatcasey) joined us for a hike in the falls. I know it still might be warm for a while but with leaves changing, it felt like the beginning of fall.

We say these jet skiers on the rapids. I couldn't believe they just flew over them like the jetboat but they did.

Almost made to the to the ol' Devil's Hole, but it stank a little too much that day.






Someone was camping out by the river



Fall color mode

King of the Niagara

Friday night after the Theater drama, (e:Paul) and I headed over to Emily's new apartment. It's a super swank attic place near Elmwood.





Candles keep it classy


Her Jade plants are pretty sweet too.


Carrie and Catherine were there too. We found out Paul's Gear knows what vajazzling is.

Two bottles of wine in, Paul and I went off to Marcella's.


Mike's former arch-enemy was performing. Maybe it was the lack of Gloria, but I wasn't really feeling it.

After Marcella's, we marched on to Cathode. We made a couple new friends, and invited a bunch of people to the Halloween party.

Take it easy. (e:Paul) and I rode to walk my dog, and then out to Williamsvile to get his MRI CD. He likes to go slow, I like to beat the traffic. We didn't average 20mph, lol.

Despite the fact we drove out in rush hour on Main Street in Williamsville, riding back on Kensington was way more stressful. The drivers coming in were way crazier, and honked and swerved a lot. We also made it through the nussbaumer designed clusterfuck at Kensington and Werhle. Good thing the road is wide enough for us to not get crushed. I hate cars.
