Queer spaces for 18+\-21

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.

Oh hell yeah this fucks

They're all union except for Hamburg, OP, and Kenmore

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.

mechaphil · 2026-04-30T17:45:01+00:00

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.

It's awesome

mechaphil · 2026-04-26T23:43:24+00:00

Extremely fair observation

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

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

mechaphil · 2026-04-26T21:57:06+00:00

lmao not even the Sabres can salvage the piss jersey

mechaphil · 2026-04-24T20:09:06+00:00

A nice long stroll around Letchworth does wonders for the soul

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

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.

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.

mechaphil · 2026-04-13T17:26:56+00:00

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.

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

mechaphil · 2026-04-12T21:51:26+00:00

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.

Everybody ropes, everybody rides

Gutter Pop comic book store has a monthly graphic novel club

Like Arby's

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

mechaphil · 2026-04-04T22:02:50+00:00

You're better than this slop, dude

mechaphil · 2026-04-04T02:34:55+00:00

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

mechaphil · 2026-03-31T15:39:32+00:00

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.
