Craig Button is awful.

Called Quinn " The best goal scorer in 2020 draft"

Then leaves him out of top 75 prospects

Yeah at least.

Beniers is the only guy with any punchers chance at being taken over Power IMO

That's an awful lot of celery. I'm thinking that Eden native Alex Iafallo comes back to WNY in an Eichel-to-LA deal.

$4m there.

Most over-rated place I have ever been to in all honesty. It looks like literally the entire rest of the state of New York, the local food sucks, they are still riding that Carl Sagan, hippie-dippie train and it's anything but a cool hippie town anymore. Cops god damn everywhere, no one smoking weed anywhere (I literally get high off the fumes walking around Buffalo), too many people in the very few actual places you can swim or hike.

Ann Arbor > Ithaca and I even thought Ann Arbor was a bit of a let down. Truth is, there's very few actually "cool" towns left THESE days.

I hated living in Pittsburgh but it's actually a cool town. Such an exhausting place to live, but a cool place to party and hang out for a few days. Philly is too dangerous and dirty to be that cool. I hate New York City. Most places are ho-hum.

Hoping to get to Chicago or Detroit for King Gizzard in the fall. Detroit is closer but it's Detroit, but it's also going to be in an old Masonic Temple, the largest in the world, but it's also in Downtown Detroit.

Chicago is much further and more expensive, both the tickets and the trip obviously. But it's also Chicago and dangerous as (frank), too. But it's also Chicago and I have never been there and it's honestly probably one of the few places I've ever actually wanted to go see.

Probably see King Gizzard in Detroit when all is said and done because it's way closer. But I have to see these dudes live.

Think this is pretty true, atleast with Jack. What happens with him has a lot to do with the draft

I used to go to Ithaca fairly regularly. Went to the movie theater a couple times and bought a 1st edition copy of Isaac Asimov's Foundation at a bookstore nearby. I was sad to find out from a buddy who went last month that my favorite dive bar there recently closed. They had excellent snacks behind the bar and vintage consoles to play video games too.

I have nothing to add King-Gizzard wise unfortunately

I'm going to grab my graphite paper pad to transfer your thoughts from that old log you keep etching your thoughts into, to paper with this piece of charcoal I found.

My wife works at a horse rescue, and has to make frequent trips to Cornell University to take horses to the veterinary hospital there.

She always stops at a place called Collegetown Bagel and brings me home "The Zoey".

Are you familiar with the place?
