  1. I know they want it done by the 2024 Summer Olympics, but my understanding is it could take years just to assess the damage. It's not like you can just grab a trowel and mortar and start having at it. But I wish them all the luck they need to do it.
  2. I have seen hotel prices double or even worse when the schedule goes public. Sometimes minutes matter.
  3. this is actually a lot better than I expected!
  4. some optimism; a French official has said the main structure has been "saved and preserved", and this includes the two bell towers *he also notes that a significant amount of artwork was able to be removed by firefighters
  5. I'm still holding out hope that the 2 towers will stay standing, at least giving something that could be used as a starting point for rebuilding. But everything I'm hearing on BBC and other news reports is that they are still very much in jeopardy.
  6. I posted a short review of the Denver show on page 2 of the Summer 2019 Concerts thread. Absolutely loved it.
  7. 3 for 3 on booster recovery - awesome accomplishment
  8. "Bills fans" not "Bill fans" thanks
  9. He was awesome when he visited our Bills Backers group in Denver.
  10. we had one a few years back that was so bad it closed an entire mall for a whole year due to roof damage. every car in the parking lot was bashed up and we saw hail damaged cars driving around for months because all of the dent removal shops were backed up. fortunately no one got hurt, but it put a lot of people and businesses out of work. we get some bad ones here in CO
  11. any Zicam users/believers here? I have tried it, upon feeling the first symptoms of a cold coming on, but really have no idea if it's being effective or not. I don't want to be too quick to credit it if I don't develop a full cold because often times that happens all by itself.
  12. lots of bands these days have fan clubs that provide codes for pre-sale tickets. even if the fan clubs charge a membership fee, one can often find the codes by diligently searching facebook comments, twitter posts, and band community forums. this isn't likely going to get you any 'best deals' though, but they will get you early access to tickets for shows that might sell out pretty quickly and thus you can avoid the stubhub seatgeek etc aftermarket. For example, I already have tickets to all the Red Rocks shows I'm attending this summer and the dates are still months away. Personally I wouldn't want to wait until right around showtime to be scrambling to get tickets, however I am sure there will be always be those who have to cancel on late notice and will likely take whatever they can get on the aftermarket web sites. But I just wouldn't want to play this game if it's a band I really want to see. Good luck!
  13. glad to see someone realizes caffeine is a real drug with all the benefits, and consequences, therein.
  14. we built it, they didn't come. so I don't watch or follow baseball. I guess I am a little sympathetic towards the Rockies, but even if they won the World Series, I would not celebrate .001% as much as I would if the Bills or Sabres won a championship.
  15. love having the extra daylight at the end of my work shift. going for short hikes and meeting friends at brewpubs after work instead of the endless cycle of 'work, go home, eat, tv, sleep, work, go home eat tv sleep...'
  16. I wonder how many armchair wiki warriors bothered to read the section called "Philosophy".. you know the part where they talk about how Bill Cody was a staunch conservationist? who would have been appalled at the thought of the virtual extinction of the American Bison? and how he hated that the US Gov't broke treaty after treaty with the Indians whom he considered to be Real Americans? And how he insisted that his audiences witness the way they value culture and family - in an age when many if not most people dismissed them as "savages" ? Or publicly spoke in support of Women's Suffrage at a time it would have been difficult to do so? Missed that part did you? Or perhaps you just dismissed it because it doesn't fit with your crusade. Well by all means, carry on! He killed Buffalo he must be evil!! /triggered
  17. sure we can become the Buffalo Snowflakes
  18. My favorite is Acoustic Alchemy. I guarantee you have heard them in an elevator at some point! Odds are it was this song; the most recognizable section starts about 5 minutes in, so I'll queue this up after the intro: I got to see them in a small club a couple times, and they were absolutely fantastic. Probably not enough to excite any teenagers though - do they still even care about melody and musicianship? Yeah I know I'll take my certificate and be on my way...
  19. It wasn't good. Nothing else to really say.
  20. Personally I can't see how anyone could be in this for any other reason than to see that parade down Delaware Ave some day. It's why I can't fathom why any Bills fan could not be a Sabres fan as well. Whether it's the Lombardi or Lord Stanley it's going to be such a glorious release; I've fantasized about it and I'm pretty sure I'm not alone. Adopt other teams if you want, but you know this day is going to be for the die-hards who shed blood year after year and come back for more because it's in our DNA. This is the culture we celebrate at our Bills bar. We've been accused of cheering first downs like touchdowns and touchdowns like wins. Everyone wearing red white and blue is your cousin whether you know them or not!
  21. Green Chile changed my life. It is huge out West, with its origins in New Mexico. This is my ultimate hangover-beater Huevos Rancheros Warmed flour tortilla base Black beans mixed with 505 Green Chile 3 eggs on top (I prefer over-easy so the yolk dresses the plate) Cover with ungodly amount of shredded mexican style cheese, melted with toaster oven broiler Top with shredded lettuce, sour cream, guac if you like it (I don't), and Taco Bell Fire Sauce and/or Melindas Habanero Sauce Now that's how you get the day started after a rough night
  22. Since we broached into comedy, I have to throw Fawlty Towers into the mix. It's not for everyone; you kinda have to have that gene that makes you 'get' British comedies but it is Cleese's finest work. I know every single line and nuance and I still laugh my ass off. There were only 12 episodes but they absolutely nailed every single one.
