Hold the presses, despite all the naysayers, the Molson Canal Concerts debut went off virtually without a hitch.
Early arrivers were greeted with a wide open concert area and were able to watch as the set up and sound checks went on. A friendly, but firm security force kept the rules and no one seemed to mind or have a problem with them.
Lots of photos in my Gallery!
I just drove through Downtown Lockport (3:30PM) and witnessed the preparations for the first of the Molson Concerts. It’s already looking interesting and the excitement is palpable.
Many vendors are already setting up and open. Parking lots all over are ready. I still think they are a bit high on their prices which were $7-$10 dollars. The free lots will be in high demand!
Sound checks were going on as I drove down Walnut Street and a lot of people were already walking around the area. Traffic was noticeably slower than usual on Walnut and I can see it being gridlock later. Main St. wasn’t bad, though. Read the rest of this entry »

Just sitting here thinking. That can be dangerous…

I stopped installing all those - or any of those - networks clients when I found Trillian, a program that connects to all of them at once. It was kind of cool seeing all those little colored dots light up to tell you they were connected. Read the rest of this entry »
According to ESPN, Marshawn Lynch will plead guilty to “an unspecified charge” next week in relation to the hit-and-run involving his SUV several weeks ago.
Doesn’t this raise red flags to you?
First of all, what are “unspecified charges?” You can’t tell me they don’t know what to charge him with. It sounds like Lynch and his lawyer are still bargaining over what they will copp to. Still wheeling and dealing with the justice system.
And next week? Haven’t we been patient enough already? Why is this whole thing going according to Lynch’s schedule? Read the rest of this entry »
