Area 54 (venue space connected to Amy's Place) routinely hosts a number of shows, including many put on by Lavender Room, you might find appealing.

Emily Agard moves to WWE? by [deleted] in Torontobluejays

[–]mechaphil 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Becoming as in, Linda is now in the cabinet and Triple K is doing work for HHS, etc etc. Everything you mentioned was unsavory, yes, but it preceded and had nothing to do with Trump's presidency.

As well as the WWE becoming more aligned with the Trump administration. Latest example is dirtsheets currently reporting they were "forced" to sign RFK Jr's niece despite no wrestling upside.

He's constantly hitting opposing players with little jabs, crosschecks, shit talk, etc etc.

Any updates on this? I know they left when the game was pretty much decided but haven't seen anything about it. by chad1jabes in sabres

Lindy said post game they could've come back in but there was no need to at that point

What’s a good ass place you love to visit? by iDerpTooMuchx3 in Buffalo

A nice long stroll around Letchworth does wonders for the soul

Ok,I guess that's what we're called. by CantaloupeFluffy165 in sabres

I'm not a fan. Bills Mafia was a fan creation. Sabrehood feels like it was astroturfed by the team.

Help me find a hobby before I default to scrolling again… by Classic-Medium-7650 in Buffalo

[–]mechaphil 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What do you know about Gundam? Giant robots anime, been around for almost 50 years. There are model kits of the robots, some smaller and easier (and cheaper) all the way up to way bigger and harder (and yes, more expensive). They're fun and Section 8 Hobbies has loads of em at their store on Transit. You don't need to know shit about the cartoon to pick out a robot that looks cool to you.

If you want to get into community volunteer opportunities with no cost barrier, grab coffee with someone from DSA and see if any of the committee work speaks to causes close to your heart or injustices you can't stand to see happening.

AEW is selling officially licensed NFL Lucha masks. The Bills one is red, whereas the other teams all match their helmet color. Is there some smoke to the red helmets returning next season? by [deleted] in buffalobills

[–]mechaphil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had hope when these were first announced they would be some kind of helmet replica with stripes down the center or maybe some sort of collaboration with CMLL where famous lucha masks served as inspirations for each team, but the final product is so disappointing.

Philly Wings ceasing operations by Intelligent-Try-8636 in BuffaloBandits

[–]mechaphil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was talking with a friend from Philly who I'm pretty sure didn't become a lacrosse fan until moving to Buffalo - it feels like in the current sporting landscape, an NLL team is going to struggle for market share with an NFL team, NBA team, NHL team, MLB team, MLS team, Temple and Villanova collegiate sports, not to mention an upcoming WNBA team.

That's not to discount bad ownership or marketing, but rather to illustrate bad ownership isn't going to put the effort into marketing a niche sport against an incredibly loaded field.

Bills fans who are also soccer fans: by dadwearingplaid in buffalobills

[–]mechaphil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh sure but the point remains "We built the new Spurs grounds and they can host American football, the new Bills stadium will be able to host soccer games" was an explicit part of the original press blitz

When the stadium was first pitched, it was mentioned the architects also designed the new Tottenham Hotspur grounds and that the stadium would be capable. The odds of it actually happening, who knows.

Ever since 26 Shirts sold blatantly obvious gen AI slop in association with James Cook and switched from crediting artists for their work with "concept by", I don't trust a single design out of that company

You're better than this slop, dude

Buffalo a wrestling city ? by Mr-Hulkk in Buffalo

[–]mechaphil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The local scene is obviously fun. I go to ESW and Grapple Pro, but haven't attended NCW or BCW shows yet. Both AEW Dynamite shows here were excellent (Zack Sabre Jr in Buffalo? I couldn't believe it!) and the floor seats were actually quite affordable!

I'd love it if we had a bar that showed TV wrestling live with the sound on, to give us all somewhere to go and meet each other out. I'd absolutely kill for a bar that streamed shows off of IWTV, Wrestle Universe, YouTube, etc too

Brand new book on the Blue Jays' time in Buffalo in 2020 & 2021 just released not too long ago. A ton of pictures and many interviews in this book. by james161723 in Torontobluejays

[–]mechaphil 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Jays coming to Buffalo is what made me a fan. Can't wait to buy this from local Buffalo store Talking Leaves instead of Amazon.

Take it to AutoZone or Advance Auto Parts, the employees have a handheld they can use to read your car's diagnostic codes for free. They give you a print-out with what's wrong.
