This is another request from your friendly neighborhood Buffalo News writer. Brother and sister Western New Yorkers: What kind of Net surfing are you able to do at work? Can you spend hours researching your fantasy football lineup? What about reading and posting at TwoBillsDrive, or watching YouTube videos, reading blogs or IMing or Facebooking your friends? Or, do the corporate security chieftains clamp down on the firewall, block the IMs, screen your e-mail and generally crack down on your Net access? Do they have good reason to block you? Have you ever spent half of your working day planning your vacation itinerary, uploading photos to Flickr or checking your e-mail every 5 minutes? I would really like to hear from Western New Yorkers about their experiences Net surfing at work. (We can keep your name out of the article if it’s necessary for you to go unidentified in order to tell me the good stuff.) My story is for First Sunday magazine, and my deadline is the end of August. Please feel free to reply here or e-mail: GConnors@buffnews.com. Thanks! Greg Connors

Thanks again for all the input. If I can just get my expense-account approved, I'll visit every establishment you all have mentioned! Otherwise, I'll stick with e-mail and the board here. GC

Thanks very much, I will check out Delilah's. (Not in person, unfortunately.)

I am researching an article for The Buffalo News on Bills bars around the country and around the world (excluding Western New York, Southern Ontario and points nearby). I would love to hear recommendations from anyone. I'm looking for stories about places where Buffalo expatriates and other Bills fans gather to watch the games on Sunday, eat some wings and drink a little beer, reminisce, sing some old songs, and did I mention drinking beer? Feel free to post replies here on the board, or if you'd be willing to send me a phone number for a follow-up call, please drop me an e-mail to: gconnors@buffnews.com. Thanks for your guidance.
