Rock Harbor Bike Bash!
The event was originally conceived by the Rock Harbor Blue Initiative to raise money for bike locking rings in the city. It turns out that the money was there all along to convert the parking meter poles into bike stations, so now the money raised at the Bike Bash will go towards building a bike statue (public work of art) to be placed somewhere in the city. There are plenty of places downtown that are in need of public art. Who knows... there might even be a competition on Saturday to design the concept.
Also on Saturday, Blue Bike will be bringing reconditioned bikes for a donation (amount depends on the bike in question) and there will also be a bike auctioned off with proceeds going toward a bike sculpture. Blue Bike will also be providing a bike valet service. Sugar City will be hosting a bake sale. Brian Wantuch (Wasteland Studio) has given us a break on renting a killer sound-system. Ed Hogle (bash host) has cordoned off a very cool indoor VIP area for the musicians that overlooks the venue. There are office bathrooms instead of Porta-Potties, and two shuffleboard courts with custom Atlas Steel equipment are being built. Flying Bison beer will be available only in the Beer Cage (within eyesight of the stage), while burgers and veggie burgers will be cooked on custom barbecue grills. Verve Studios will also be making an appearance. Look for the Microparks to set up too!
People planning on attending can find out more information on Facebook - look under the event section or check out the group Buffalo Bike Club for more info on Saturday's ride to The Bash. The event is free - purchases to benefit biking in Buffalo.

Sycamore Village Is A Success And A Failure
This project is both a success and a failure. Both productive and counterproductive. I like it and I hate it. And most comment posters are right regardless of their take... reason being there are lots of sides to this story. It completely depends on so many factors, some of which have no definitive proof. Therefore we must rely on speculation, judgment, experience and opinion for much of the basis of the argument for or against.

30 dogs, 2 cats and preacher on bent knee...
Sunday was the first time that I ever saw a real live pet blessing ceremony. I had heard of the occasion before, but never really had the opportunity to check one out. This was also the first year that Reverend Drew Ludwig (Lafayette Church) ever hosted a pet blessing ceremony. And the ceremony went so well that attendees are already talking about how to make next year's blessing bigger and better. Drew didn't even know if animals were going to show up since this was such a last m … - Today, 10:50am
