The Allentown Art festival isn't really my thing, I hate knick knacks. I do like the smell of fried dough though and it manages to waft all the way around Allentown. (e:paul) got his Italian snausage and came up with a fried dough wrapped version stuffed with cheese.

Dreamland had their own art festival going on with a bunch of pillows and cute stuffed things.

It was nice to just sit on the corner in the shade and watch people go by.

The rowdiest I've ever seen Paul's family. Frank and Tony are hilarious together.

I hate the Buffalo Preservation Board. I hope a historic roof falls on the whole board. Especially Tim Tielman.

Some (3 of 20) of our solar panels were denied by them last Thursday. I have so much to write about it I don't even know where to start, so I'll have to flesh it out later, including the recording I took.

Already! Robert Delong was pretty good, Arkells, not so much. Blue is now $5! We saw Kevin for the first time in over a year.

I know it hasn't been the square forever now but it's always going to be one of those things people do just like old people who refer to Gold Circle and AM&A's.

Tonight is the night! Buffalo's first World Naked Bike Ride, and the weather is looking good. We are up to over 1000 attendees between the two facebook events. Come join us in a body-positive protest against the aggressive, fossil-fueled car culture and consumerism that cyclists face every day they ride.

Come as bare as your dare (body paint encouraged). We cannot guarantee any interactions with the police, but hopefully there will be safety numbers tonight.



Where/when: Starting at 7pm, you can meet us at Sisti Park to get the official starting point for the bike ride. You MUST have human powered transportation or you will not be given directions. This is a protest about bikes and our rights.

No drugs, alcohol, OR photos on the ride. We need this to be a safe ride for everyone involved. There's plenty of people who would love an excuse to shut down the ride - don't give them one.

Expect that the full route will last around 7 miles.

Afterparty: The unofficial afterparty will take place at the end of the ride, at Handlebar (149 Swan Street).
Although you can go down to your underwear at Handlebar, you MUST have yourself covered as they will be serving food.

For the voyeurs:
if you want to watch and not participate in the ride the best places to see the ride is at Bidwell Park around 8:20-8:40 or Lafayette square around 9-9:15.
