soaked sunday at the square

somehow woke up and made it to niagara falls around 12ish.. packed to the gills with poeple.. 90% of them of indian origin.. the falls have become like an american pilgrimage place.. a sort of haridwar or something!! had a nice ride on the Maid of the Mist.. grabbed subs, then rushed back home to watch the Euro 2004 final.. what a drab game.. i don't begrudge the greeks their title.. but yeesh!! play football man!!

after the game, we all caught some much needed shut-eye.. knocked back a few of killian's best red beer.. then went for the Goo Goo Dolls concert.. it was some of the saddest weather ever.. raining buckets and windy too.. by the time the goos started we were all drenched.. and when they finally kicked in.. it was like we were watching the show in the niagara falls, not in niagara square!! and staying thorugh the storm was so totally worth it.. 'iris' was amazing.. rain and all.. and testament to the buffalonians party spirit, the show was fully packed right up to the fireworks display at the end!! thank god the rain let up in the end so that we could enjoy the fireworks.. that was also really awesome..

came back home and got out of the wets, then ate at Lake Effect.. which is so much like the diner in Archie comics.. then went to 55 tyler and had a couple of drinks, smoked up some stuff.. and chilled out playing cards.. finally crashed at around 6..
