stuck in buffalo

On Saturday Patrick and I woke up early to start a drive to Michigan where I had basketball tickets for the Michigan State / Ohio State game. A couple hours later we turned back, due to winter weather and terrible road conditions in Canada. I was extremely disappointed to have to give my tickets up, which were box seats I'd won at an alumni event in December. To salvage the day, we made the trek to Niagara Falls instead to see it in the freezing cold. It was sort of fun, but it wasn't Tom Izzo and the Spartans (who ended up losing anyway, so whatever).

My friend Emily is moving to Chicago, so the rest of the weekend was her extended going away party. We went to Nektar, Gabe's Gate, and the new place on Allen, Staples. We also made an appearance at the Elmwood Lounge for the Lance Diamond show. It was really late and at that point we were pretty much the only ones there breaking it down. Lance, always one with the ladies, charmed us by handing out his cufflinks to me and Emily at the end of the show. Swooning!
