WNY filmmaker, Peter McGennis, is bringing his first feature film, In, to Dipson's Amherst Theatre this Friday, April 29th. Show times are 1:30, 4:00, 7:00, and 9:30. (McGennis appears in inset photo at far right.)
Shot in New Orleans, McGennis brought as much Buffalo involvement to the film that he could, including local musicians David Kane and Doug Yeomans, friend Paul Cambria, Propellerhead Studios, and several other area musicians. Soundtrack also cooks with all original music by late jazz legend Jimmy Smith, Maria Muldaur, and New Orleans fave, Kermit Ruffins.

Mixed Media @ the Tri-Main

I just bumped into Roxanne Amico from Spiritmorph Studio. She has a small showing of her mixed media collages @ Mid City Office Furniture in the Tri-Main Building. And she was just featured in the last issue of Artvoice as the artist of the week. Cool stuff.

COMING UP: Thursday April 28, 2005
I plan on seeing the flamenco dancer & Mir Ali's group this Thursday at Nietzche's promptly at 8pm. Although it's $8 the ambience and intimacy of an Allentown bar has a lot of appeal. This way I can flirt & knock a few back with them after the show as well. WARNING: do NOT bring a date that you are "on the fence" about. Flamenco gyrations and Gypsy rhythms have never been considered a very effective form of birth control- if ya know what I mean!
See ya there! Cow-Girl

Gotta love Niagara Square!

Here is a pretty cool photo of a candle light vigil in downtown Buffalo commemorating 9/11. I'll tell you, when it comes to a city with heart, you won't find another one out there that can hold a candle to Buffalo. This vigil was held in Niagara Square; photo taken atop Buffalo's own City Hall. As a matter of fact, if you have never been to the observation deck at the top of City Hall, it really is worth a visit. And bring a camera.

Taken on a night with a beautiful crescent moon. Snapped it while grilling in a backyard (just off Elmwood Avenue.)
