I was on an apartment's rooftop deck on Delaware this past weekend and it was fabulous! Buffalo never looked better. The lights were bright downtown; Delaware Avenue was bustling and it was so clear I could see Niagara Falls. It wasn't too hot or muggy so it was a perfect night to look out at Buffalo and drink Canadian beer. Then I noticed the dude in the corner relieving himself.
Well, that's one way to diss Buffalo. I guess there will always be haters, but the rest of us enjoyed the city's landscape and were quite content.

It's getting to be that awkward point of the summer when people can often be heard saying, "I'm bored" or "Summer is almost over, there's nothing left to do."
Well, since last Thursday (July 26) The Buffalo Infringement Festival has been taking place. The festival goes until this Sunday (Aug 5), so don't fret, there's plenty of time to check out this experimental extravaganza, which allows any artist to perform or exhibit in his or her chosen way.
The festival is free from corporate sponsorship and relies on only the donations of the audience, making it affordable to any potential viewer. One can simply walk along Allen Street to stumble upon street performers or pop into any bar or studio which is sure contain something visually or mentally stimulating.
If it's music that you're interested in, you're in luck Every night during the festival you can find live performances at venues ranging from the infamous Nietzsche's to Soundlab, Merlin's and Staple's. Theatergoers can also delight in the wide array of performances. For these and other information check out this link.
