BR.O Beer News & Review
Ethan Cox
Beer... Buffalo- What could possibly go wrong?
Things have been busy for The Beer Guy of late, of top of which the camera seems to have taken a turn for the dead, so: Sorry for the dearth of reviews.

On the first Sunday of the month, I'll round out what I know about the B-lo beer scene (send tips to ecox@buffalorising.com) while the third Sunday will be dedicated to throwing at least a couple of beer selections your way- and here suggestions are also welcome. Remember: I try beers s…

Monday, 7:00 PM --FREE SPECIAL SNEAK PREVIEW! SKETCHES OF FRANK GEHRY. Directed by Sydney Pollack Rated PG-13, 1 hour 25 minutes. Frank Gehry loves to sketch; it is the beginning of his architectural process. And it is his love of the sketch that gave Pollack his first clues to the style of this documentary film. Beginning with Gehry's own original sketches for each major project, the film explores Gehry's process of turning these abstract drawings, first into tangible, three-dimensional models, often made simply of ca…

Gus Macker is an incredible 3-person (to a team) basketball tournament to watch. There are so many different age levels of players who compete against one another and every game is exciting in its own way. RoBear and I decided to head on over to watch a few of these games earlier this afternoon. The best part about Gus Macker is t…

This was the first year that I made it down to Buffalo River Fest, held at Father Conway Park. Unfortunately I did not make it down in time to see the river regatta, which I heard was a raging success. By the time I arrived the auto show was the event to see and people were scoping out the rides lined up on the park lo…

Last night was the opening night for Shakespeare in Delaware Park. While the action of the play down on Shakespeare Hill was cut short by the rain, there was plenty of action on the pergola at the Rose Garden above.
It was enchanting to watch the Nickel City Fencers, clad in white jackets, parry between the white columns of the pergola against the rosy backdrop. The club was there to welcome the opening night of Shakespeare's 31st summer season. Usually, Nickel City Fencers can be found honing their skills at St. John's Grace Episcopal Church at Colonial Circle.
