I've got a lot on my chest today, a lot of stuff not big enough to justify individual posts, so it's Odds and Sods time:
- Happy Dyngus Day. I almost wish I wasn't going to Rochester to see Of Monsters And Men tonight because this year's Dyngus Day celebration looks to be the best yet as Buffalo complete's it's annual Mardis Gras/St Patrick's Day/Dyngus Day hat trick of ethnic/Catholic celebrations in grand fashion. Only in Buffalo folks, do you really get all three. Kudos to us.
- The eagle has landed, the bird is in the hand, and congratulations are in order as it was announced last week that the NFTA will indeed be going into the summer concert business with Funtime Productions on the outer harbor. No acts or dates have been announced but tentative ticket prices have been reported to be between $30 and $100 for VIP tickets, and with some names already being thrown around (Gov't Mule, The Black Keys), buffaBLOG will definitely be all over this.
- Alas, another Sabres season has ended in shame, anger, and recrimination, and I'd be remiss if I didn't single out #Sabretunes for more scorn because really, I absolutely feel like they let us down too. Sabres games should be fun and cool, and John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band and Foreigner are not cool in the least, and neither is pandering to squares. Do they pander to squares in Austin Texas or Portland Oregon? As reported in last week's Artvoice- hells no. Just like the Sabres on ice performance this year, what came over the PA at their games (with the exception of Arcade Fire before games and Black Keys after Sabres goals) should not and cannot be repeated next season.
- We're less than a month out from the sold out M83 show at the Town Ballroom. Just wanted to say that again. The wait is almost over.
