The Calender has been updated!

And this would not have been possible with out my friend and coworker Maryann who let me kidnap her new calender to get all this stuff from. There is so much stuff! I never would have been able to hunt it all down on the web by myself. (I have found 2 typos so far...)

Disclaimer: all events and dates can change and I might not know until after the event!

That said while the event name is listed on the calender, there is no contact or websites on the calender about sections. A lot of the events are on going. The weekly and monthly ones I was mostly able to add as such. But I missed a lot. For the majority I have only listed the start days. This probably won't change because I am going to be adding sections for the festivals as I attend them.

I will and can not attend them all. September 12th has seven events that day. I might be able to swing two if they are close to cut down on travel time... but probably not more then that unless they are going on Sundays also.

I... Might consider asking some of my friends to take pictures and notes for me if they go to festivals that I can't go to. I will definitely be looking for links to blog posts. But right now I can't hire or pay for other people to write for me.

 It's funny, May through August is crammed with every event you can think of. Considering there seems to be an event happening every weekend of the year I am impressed. It takes a lot of people to run and go to these shows.

As for now, the 2015 calender has been updated! New things might make it onto the calender if I find out in time. Happy planning all!

Wow it's been two years?

Two whole years... wow. I'll start with some changes that I might have posted about. Since then I have my old computer rebuilt and then replaced. I got a smart phone so the idea was that when I went out and did stuff I could post then and everything would be better because getting photos off my camera seemed to take me forever. Hint: I haven't done anything since getting the phone. (Snowvember doesn't count.) So, here are some and possably all of my current updates.

First is the tumblr.

https://www.tumblr.com/blog/muchadoaboutbuffalo

The tumblr is the most active bit around here. I had forgotten that this and that were not synced. At all. Ever. It is mostly me re-blogging other, more interesting people from Buffalo that happen to also be on tumblr. Lot's of historic stuff and older concert stuff. Artvoice is there and others. Original posts are a little lacking but there is an explanation! If I can find a lot of interesting stuff I do set up scheduled posts.

Then there is the twitter.

This is less active then the tumblr but it still is mostly re-tweets because there is a lot of news sites on twitter. It is starting to have more original posts because it is synced with the facebook page.

Then there is facebook page.

https://www.facebook.com/MuchAdoBuffalo

Right, so because I have my art twitter posting to my art page... Twitter will not let me also link to my Buffalo page. (Because apparently no one has more then one page and one twitter? who knows.) Fortunately I can post to the twitter from the facebook page. I have also figured out how to share posts to the page. (which I might add to the site because help is helpful.) It's very quiet because I made it on December 1st, 2014. This also has a scheduled post ability so the more I find the more I can set up.

Lastly there is the website.

http://www.muchadoaboutbuffalo.com

This... is the beast who's name shall not be spoken. Sorta. I did try to make a site and acidently made it live before there was any content to it. No content = nothing to read. Just about two years ago I found a better platform to build and host the site. Since then I have been working on it's content on and off. I have a lot of photos to add and stories of blurbs to go with them. Computer problems helped in stalling this but writers block took care of the rest.

The site is the biggest project I have ever started. So I want to do it right. Right takes time and time is finicky.

While I wish this was my main job, sadly it isn't. I missed a chance to connect with a band because of bad e-mail settings (which have been fixed) I also missed a chance to see a video of mine on GMA. (still kicking myself for posting and going back to sleep.)

My goal for the new Year is to get the site up. Not totally completed, just completed enough to get up and keep updating. It is finally close to that point. Just... Content.

There will also be a little bit of art involved. I will eventually be able to offer shirts and stuff. This stuff is on a back burner that is so far back it is but a twinkle. Either I might make the stuff personally or I might hire a local producer to make the stuff using my art. My tiny budget says it'll probably be me. Stuff might be available in a year... might.

This has been a bigger update then I thought. With luck (and time) there will be plenty more. (The next thing on my list is that stupid calender.)
