Disco Duck - June 28th

Ric Stave (bass, voc.), Mark Partyka (guitar, voc.) and Disco Duck get their funk on at Sloan Park! Bubble machine, disco lights and all!

Roycroft Summer Festival - East Aurora NY

Browsing some art. Perhaps some stunning motorcycle art for the living room??



Blue House in the Woods - where they appaised my leather bound Poe book of poems printed 100 years ago by the Roycroft. Not worth selling, but they did comment that it was in near mint condition and would be more valuable if it wasn't for the internet. Stupid world-wide web!


Babik (bah-beek) - Buffalo acoustic jazz group playing (mostly) the music of Django Reinhardt. They label themselves gypsy jazz and along with Django are reminiscent of Stephane Grappelli and the jazz music of the 30's and 40's. Great sound that was so infectious I just had to pick up a CD. Excellent musicians, including (in my opinion) Buffalo's finest - Geoff Perry on violin.

Lunchtime Retreats I - Japanese Garden

Thought I'd start getting out of the office more at lunch and visit places that are close by. Places I've always wanted to see but have either never been, or had been a long time ago. First stop, the Japanese Garden at the Buffalo Museum of History off Elmwood Ave. Travel time 7 minutes.

Poor Ould Goat at The Shannon Pub

Poor Ould Goat was happy to play two nights at The Shannon Pub last weekend. Good crowd, very nice staff and excellent food! And of course there was the Guinness.
