By now most of us are familiar with the super cool gear available at Stache. This small men's boutique is an ideal stop for those looking to stay on the cutting edge of men's fashion.
Last week I stopped in on some BRO business and discovered these vintage watches. Sold by a company called RARE, they are original watches from the 70s and 80s that have had their old movements removed and replaced with new, high quality ones.The watches pictured above are Metro Metropolitan Deluxe watches. As you can see, two are available, one with a black face and silver-toned detailing, the other in burgundy and gold. Both feature a c…

Parking Tickets No More
Christa Glennie Seychew
Last week as I was perusing neo on Franklin and Allen, I came across this nifty and quite necessary item.
Though I am quite embarrassed to say, I was looking for a very late Christmas gift. Additionally embarrassing is that I came away with something only for myself.
Manufactured by the funky and fun gadget company Kikkerland, this parking meter alarm is an essential item for the urban dweller. It attaches to your keychain and holds about $2 worth of quarters. Additionally it has an alarm which alerts you when the time on your meter is up. The alarm isn't too loud, and the keychain, despite all of those quarters, isn't very heavy. At only $10, this is a must have.

An Interview With Ice Cream Social
Joseph DiDomizio
I recently got the chance to sit down and chat with Janessa, Don, Dan, Steve and Tom of Buffalo's own Ice Cream Social. After we played a few rounds of Mad Libs, we got into their energetic sets, their songs and their New Year's Resolutions.
You are extremely energetic during your shows, if it is not Tom Bouncing around on the stage, its everybody else looking really, really excited playing their instruments. How do you keep that energy up during your set?

Fashionable Snowboarding with BRM
Christa Glennie Seychew
Snowboarding, though developed in the U.S. in the late 60's and early 70', didn't become an Olympic sport until 1998. Extremely beneficial to one's health, snowboarding tones all of the muscles in the body and provides a great cardiovascular workout.
Always on top of the latest in fashion and technology, owners Ward and Maureen have stocked the shop with this season's hippest gear.

Hydroponics of Buffalo
queenseyes
What is hydroponics? It all depends on who you talk to I guess. The guys at Hydroponics of Buffalo will tell you (in a roundabout way) that it is "The movement of water", or "Working with Water". Regardless of the exact definition, the point is that water is involved. That's funny because even though I know that 'hydro' is water I always think of a grow-lamp when I think of hydroponics. Eric Samul (left), an employee at the store, suggested that the first step towards learning about the fascinating hobby is to buy a book. "We have a few books that can get you up and running in a snap. There are so many things to learn... like, did you know that a plant is healthier if the air is circulating around it? What we teach people here is how to simul…

A Letter to New York Magazine's Editor
Christa Glennie Seychew
My favorite subscription-based magazine is New York Magazine (not to be confused with The New Yorker). Though nearly half of the weekly's pages are filled with ultra-cool things to buy and do in the Big Apple, the rest of it is chock full of great articles, interviews and pop culture ,Aeusound bites,Aeu.
It may seem like it, but this isn't an advertisement for New York Magazine. Instead it is a yet another story about a happy and satisfied Buffalonian, a New York Magazine reader named Wayne Geist.
I read NY Mag cover to cover. Last night I began thumbing through the new issue. As always, the first page of text is the ,AeuLetters,Aeu page. The first entry is a comment by Wayne Geist on a recen…
