I have an overactive imagination. All I saw was Cotton Candy, the local ________ (fill in the blank using your own imagination)having this guy arrested.

In my defense, I was posting this while at this conference and had people coming up and talking to me while I was trying to get this done.

I'll make corrections when I get home, or stop for something to eat on my drive ... heading back now.

Ha ha! Howard's just trying to keep everyone on their toes!

Gosh, I'm so glad I'm not into the concert scenes anymore. Darien Lake didn't have concerts back in the late 70's, early 80's. I ventured to the War Memorial in Rochester (not saying that the crowds were any better there!) Gotta give kudos to the security guards here at local concerts though...getting wonked in their heads etc (with elbows, fists, beer bottles etc.) Sheesh!

Concerts at DL are crazy and I'm surprised there aren't more arrests. I was at the Pantera show in the 90s when the seats were torn up and the place was virtually destroyed. The lead singer (ironically enough named Philip Anselmo) was arrested for hitting a security guard in the head with a microphone.
But the last show I went to was 50 Cent a few years back and that one wasn't too bad. People were really drunk and doing a lot of drugs right out in the open though. I don't think security can do much when thousands of people are smoking weed at the same time though.

I've seen many concerts there and it always seems out of control, like the Butthole Surfers show when the crowd tore up the sod and crashed the gate from the lawn seating to the reserved section,.

It is amazing that this still goes on, but Darien makes a ton of cash on fines!!

I was going to comment on Howard's typo's but it's too late now, all the fun has gone!

It's showing up for me now but it doesn't always. I have Mozilla Firefox at home but Internet Explorer at work. I wonder if that's the difference.

It seems that the link to the image is broken. It's probably showing up intermittently for some of you because the image is still in your browsers cache before the link broke.

you can see it ? I have used three different computers with three diff browsers and win xp home or winxp pro and same deal. two different antivirus programs and three different browsers. Since it was posted i have never seen it (over a week). cant click on it either. All others ads work fine and click. Its driving me crazy. I cant believe it would only show up on firefox. I Set up or used 5 other computers with various OS and browsers but nothing changed. Maybe its a security thing but why would all other ads show up and even Toms garage sale link works even to login. I clean cache or dump cookies and wipe history every 24hrs. Even if I didnt it must not be secure coz thats the only time anything gets blocked.
