BR and Release the Funny: The Event

We'll be at the Market Arcade for a 7:30 show, followed by Q & A with Jerry and Beth, founders of Littleflick. You'll get to see the flick (it really is quite funny), as well as meeting BR people, the actors and the MacKays.
It's really quite exceptional that the MacKays, through top-notch production and Jerry's writing and directing skills (they both act in the film), have compiled this collection of witty shorts--in Buffalo--in a homegrown, yet polished way. One of the shorts, Hold the Onions, was recently nominated for Best Children's Film at the Foursite Film Festival in Utah. (The entire body of work is recommended for children 13 and older, probably largely due to one short entitled Fireballs, but that's as far as we'll go with an explanation.)
After the show and Q & A, we'll go next door to the Bijou Grille, tell some stories and rub elbows at the cash bar.
Need a laugh? Come on down. Want to meet some up-and-coming actors and film makers? Come on down.
See you there!

If architect Karl Frizlen and developer Paul Johnson have their way, the city's West Side will soon see a vacant 35,000 sq.', three-storey, 1928 school building converted to modern loft apartments. Karl and Paul are planning on turning the former Catholic Academy, found an 257 Lafayette Street, into a mixed-use project consisting of 20 apartments and an 11,000 sq.' office/daycare space.

It looks like some of the local business community is beginning to open their eyes to the fact that the biking community spends money too. It amazes me that there are still businesses around town that have no bike racks. Just take a look out your window and look at the all of the bikers these days. Bikers do not take up 'precious' parking spaces. But they do need to lock up their bikes. If I'm biking around the city I tend to stop at many more places for the things I need... if th …
The Buffalo Diocese has announced the formation of a new committee that will advise Bishop Kmiec on future uses for parish properties that will no longer be used as a result of mergers.

Did you know that each day 132 people are added to the national donor waiting list? Each day only 79 organ transplants take place... this means each day there are 53 people who are in dire need of help.
Blood is perhaps the most needed resource in the organ transplant process. It is used during operations and is needed to sustain life for those who are waiting for organ transplants. In coming days and months, Upstate New york Transplant Services (UNYTS) is hosting blood drives a …

For those who can't make it Friday, the film is also screening on Saturday April 5th at the Riviera Theatre in North Tonawanda, 7:30 PM.
BUT, if you have your choice of nights, make it Friday. We're looking forward to a great Buffalo Rising crowd, and the Market Arcade has a fantastic digital projection system. Plus, you may get a chance to finally meet someone you've only known online.
And sbrof, it not only looks funny...IT IS FUNNY! (although I made the film, so I'm a tad biased).
Hope to see everyone this Friday!
