Up yours, Schenectady.  You’re being taken to school, Cortland.  And say our name, Yonkers.  The Empire State Games finished Sunday, and I’m proud to report that the Western region either topped the medal count or at least finished in like the top 15. To be honest, I’m not certain, and I feel...

This year’s Hallwalls’ Artists & Models Affair might be fun or freaky.  It could be both, too, but it should be up to individuals to find out for themselves.  Admission to the undoubtedly provocative May 1 event is 15 bucks presale or a Jackson at the door.  Either way, taxpayers are also...

The best summary of the social disease factory called the Woodstock Festival was offered by The Who.  The unenthusiastic participants’ perfectly crude, decidedly and awesomely not safe for work reaction both during and after the squalid affair effectively summarizes the faux idyllic colossal mud bath. ...

Last night, I went to the Chautauqua Institution to see Bill Cosby. It was packed and it was extraordinarily hard to even get a seat. Some ticket-holders in the amphitheater had to stand for the show. The Jamestown Post-Journal has a review, and captures the essence of the show spot on: With laughs...
