Known for some amateur photo and video coverage of Buffalo Stuff in the distant past, now trying to chart a new future, which may include....creativity and stuff. More descriptions to come....

I hope everyone realizes that scrubbing historical references from web sites is no different than burning books

Billy Bragg Performs at Starbucks Workers United Rally in Buffalo

It worked in Buffalo 2 years ago. That location deserves a historic marker as "First Ever Unionized Starbucks On What-Remains-Of-Planet Earth" :)

Vaudeville in the State Hartford Theater: 1941
YouTube video by Aaron Dylag Vaudeville in the State Hartford Theater: 1941

No. Words.

1941 as a fragmented, amazing, contortionist, nightmare garish 16mm Kodachrome silent color hallucination from a long-gone Hartford treasure.

Possibly the only color footage of L&H Live in '41 (or anywhere else).

Turn off the soundtrack. It sucks.

I am making my first BlueSky post here. I am old enough to remember the ELO song, but also working for Cinemapolis in Ithaca in 2004, screening "Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind" in 35mm, and mixing up the Beck song at the end credits. I'm not Mr. Blue Sky. I just wish the clouds would stop.
