The Buffalo Snow LiesCategory: buffalo
I live in the downtown Buffalo, NY neighborhood called Allentown. I walked to work today. This was how much snow was around me as I walked to and from work. Its still not snowing now. If you watched the weather you'd think the whole city of Buffalo was under 5 ft of snow. I think the whole storm is just a conspiracy theory involving the illuminati, lol

Dj Lulu - Buffalo, NY - Scammy Business People Playlist SetCategory: music
The one thing I hate more than anything is when people try to scam you. I don't know if it is the Sicilian in me or what but it literally makes my blood boil.
If I have learned anything in life, its get it in writing. Especially since I've had so many work experiences where people say one thing in person and another thing in writing.
Anyways, (e:terry) made a verbal agreement to pay DJ Lulu $300 for the party. I remember him coming home to discuss it in the first place and I thought $300 seemed steep but he had his heart set on it.
He tried to pay her before the party but she said she would rather be paid that night. To be fair, she did a great job, he even planned to tip her an extra $100.
At the end of the night her aggressive manager bitch was asking everyone for cash which until that point I thought was pre-paid or electronically arranged. I asked whoever was asking me if I could Google Wallet her the money but apparently she needed it in cash because she was flying to NYC right away.
Many of my friends and family reminded me the next day I owed her $300.
But when she asked (e:terry) for the money in an email the next day she said, "there is no paper trail, but I remember we agreed to $500." Instead of questioning it, because he is so averse to confrontation, he just paid her. This made me crazy.
I had him write to her asking how the price changed all of a sudden. He wrote her this nice email saying how happy he was with her service and that he would use her again in the future but just wanted some clarification on what happend with the price.
A week later - no answer.
Maybe she didn't get the email. Maybe she is a scammy bitch who couldn't even be bothered to make up some story. I guess we will never know the difference. I know how I will remember it.
Personally I would never hire her again and told just about everyone I know how that went down including people who asked me about hiring her.
Good luck Lulu, I hope the extra $200 was worth it.
Next time I get a DJ they will be capable of online payment and they sign a contract in writing.

Rochester TunnelsCategory: rochester
We also took a tour of the rochester tunnels. I always wanted to go in but never had a chance before. The further you get inside the nastier it gets. The dust level was too much for me sans-serif gas mask. At one point we just found clumps of human hair.
I'm surprised they don't seal it up. At the same time it is cool to have a large art space. I also thing it's so weird that they abandoned public transit on that scale. It must have cost a fortune to build.

Ah the Rochester Subway
:::link:::
They did fill in some sections that ran under the highway loops due to safety of the roads.

Rave Long And ProsperCategory: dancing
We went to a really fun star trek themed happy hardcore rave in Rochester. We met a lot of awesome people. I even found some people that also played secondlife. The after party was pretty fun too but now I am exhausted.
My ftied Greg took this video. He is the guy with the TV head.

The Linwood was spared.... Just be careful because Zooey knows all the people love snow and want to come steal your houses.
Oh maybe
Also I read about those 6 dead ppl :-s
I think they're using the term "Buffalo" for the entire area, city and suburbs. I found this:
•Possibility this will be declared a federal disaster. Homeowners can apply for FEMA assistance
•Latest snowfall totals: 65” inches South Cheektowaga, 63” Lancaster, 57 “ West Seneca
•40 stranded motorists near the Lackawanna tolls rescued from the Thruway
•Dozens of vehicles stranded on the Thruway
•2 feet of more snow expected tonight, in the City or in the Southtowns, depending on wind
•At least 6 people dead
For most people around the country seeing this on CNN, this is a BFD. Stay safe and stay warm!
I saw news that shows buffalo, اeavy snow falls. there were a lot of snow and emergencies. Every where is covered with snow
Are you good? Everything is fine?
Heavy snow falls.
