It appears that the Great WNYMedia Blackout of 2007 is behind us. For the past four or five days, the entire site has been down sporadically, meaning that the news tabs and the entire family of bloggers have been in the dark. We are up and running again, although it looks like a number of stories and posts from the down time have been lost in the technical upheaval.

This all sucks, but we keep in mind that all the honchos like Marc Odien and Chris Smith who run WNYMedia have day jobs, and tech wizard Nathan Strang (Buffawhat) is up to his eyeballs in fixing this, so we appreciate everything that these guys do for us. To make up for it, I am told that they are ready to roll out the new improved site pretty soon and we will be a part of that and you will like it so stay tuned!

OK… it has been soooooo long since Pete and I have packed our bags and gotten on a plane to do a meaningful road trip, but the day is finally upon us and I can’t wait! We fly to Dallas/Ft Worth tomorrow, and that begins a schedule of four sporting events in four nights. Here is the schedule:

Thurs - Chicago at Texas (MLB) - The Ballpark in Arlington
Fri - New Orleans at Round Rock (AAA) - Dell Diamond
Sat - Arkansas State at Texas (NCAA-f) - Texas Stadium
Sun - San Antonio at Corpus Christi (AA) - Whataburger Field

In addition to the games, we are planning to do some sightseeing around Austin and Corpus Christi. We got a hold of former Buffalonian Seamus Gallivan, whose dad works for the Bisons, and he now works for Round Rock and will be taking us around the Dell. Whataburger Field will be the 100th ballpark of the USRT, so that will certainly be a milestone worth celebrating. My friend Brian Magierski, whose mom is a Cheektowaga Council Member, lives in Austin and is joining us for the football game on Saturday. So all is good!

We will be posting DAILY updates and photos of our adventures right here so please check in and drop a line as well.
