BR and Release the Funny: The Event

We'll be at the Market Arcade for a 7:30 show, followed by Q & A with Jerry and Beth, founders of Littleflick. You'll get to see the flick (it really is quite funny), as well as meeting BR people, the actors and the MacKays.
It's really quite exceptional that the MacKays, through top-notch production and Jerry's writing and directing skills (they both act in the film), have compiled this collection of witty shorts--in Buffalo--in a homegrown, yet polished way. One of the shorts, Hold the Onions, was recently nominated for Best Children's Film at the Foursite Film Festival in Utah. (The entire body of work is recommended for children 13 and older, probably largely due to one short entitled Fireballs, but that's as far as we'll go with an explanation.)
After the show and Q & A, we'll go next door to the Bijou Grille, tell some stories and rub elbows at the cash bar.
Need a laugh? Come on down. Want to meet some up-and-coming actors and film makers? Come on down.
See you there!

With all of the talk about seeing continued investment by University of Buffalo into the city, it's good to know that the students are already onboard. Tomorrow university architecture students are hosting a show at the Market Arcade (617 Main Street) that showcases how the class envisions potential university projects in the future. I asked Professor Adam Sokol, AIA what it was like for the students to tackle this project (for the first time), and he was clear that this was purel …
In a matter of just a few days, Allentown will be home to a rather unusual new café. It's going to be unusual for two reasons... the operator is just coming from the show, 'Hell's Kitchen', and the style of food is going to be out of the norm (let's just say words like creative, healthy and fusion come to mind). First things first, it must have been a little tough watching Hell's Kitchen last week, as Buffalo's own Shayna Raichilson-Zadok was tossed by Gordon Ramsay. Chef Ramsay …
With Shark USA moving their headquarters to Buffalo, it has started to become a local favorite. It seems only natural then that this newly emerging energy drink would partner with another local favorite: Mighty Taco.
Mighty Taco was founded in 1973 and has always been exclusively in Buffalo. They have 15 locations across the WNY region and have no signs of slowing down. Shark Energy Drink has been around since 1965, but just recently moved to Buffalo in 2007.
Shark has really be …
What started out as an internship with Common Council President David Franczyk has now turned into a program that will see murals painted all over the Broadway area. Kimberley Moore is the president and founder of the Buffalo Mural Arts Program (BMAP). Painting will be taking place at the Broadway Market, 1105 Broadway, and the Duch Builder at 1247 Broadway.
Erik Minter will be painting 1105 Broadway and will begin on May 24th. Moore says, “It’s called “B-lo Looks Up.”” …

For those who can't make it Friday, the film is also screening on Saturday April 5th at the Riviera Theatre in North Tonawanda, 7:30 PM.
BUT, if you have your choice of nights, make it Friday. We're looking forward to a great Buffalo Rising crowd, and the Market Arcade has a fantastic digital projection system. Plus, you may get a chance to finally meet someone you've only known online.
And sbrof, it not only looks funny...IT IS FUNNY! (although I made the film, so I'm a tad biased).
Hope to see everyone this Friday!
