I stopped attending big concerts about 20 years ago. Still hit bar-sized concerts and free outdoor shows, but I just figured my big concert days were behind me. And then a funny thing seemed to have happened. My son got interested in music and is old enough to attend some shows. And for the most part he listens to music that I can really dig. I got my feet wet again last Summer at Artpark but the real fun came when my (then) 13 yr old son started begging me to let him go to the Uproar Festival at Darien Lake last August. Eventually I relented on the condition that I go as well. For the most part the bands weren't bands I would ordinarily listen to but the headliners especially weren't bad, and since I am a reformed (sort of) metal head the last two bands in particular were pretty damned enjoyable. So this year the kid is already begging me to go to a concert with him, and frankly, I was looking forward to the Summer's concert schedule for my own enjoyment. Looks like a pretty fair concert season coming. This is my concert plan for the coming year; June 29 Buffalo Place- Grace Potter and the Nocturnals This band puts on a great show. They have a fantastic old school rock vibe to them. And Grace Potter is darned nice to look at too. If you are not familiar, look them up on youtube. Fantastic rock performers. Darien Lake- Allman Brothers and Carlos Santana Taking the wife to see this one. Two of my favorites from the bluesy end of rock. Darien Lake- Iron Maiden and Alice Cooper Re-living my junior year in high school. LOL Actually, I won't be buying tix to this show. I'll be a volunteer. I am involved with one of the not-for-profits that man the beer kiosks at the venue. I'm already signed up to dish out $12 Bud Lights to the head banging masses. I won't get a look at the stage most likely but I'll be able to listen to the show. \nn/ Darien Lake- Slipknot/Slayer/Motorhead/Anthrax This is the show my kid is bugging me about. Yeah, we're gonna go. I've never seen Motorhead or Slayer in concert so I'm looking forward to it. I'm sure my ears will be bleeding by the time the show ends. And 3 out of 4 of those bands are up my alley. First Niagara Center- Rush Now this one *will* have me re-living my junior year in high school. Going with a longtime friend. I can't wait until October. Anyone else ready for Summer concert season?

I mentioned I was in the Queen City yesterday. Did I see a picture of Cellino of Cellino and Barnes on a Cellino Plumbing truck? Twin? Side gig?

I'll start it off with baseball playoffs beginning tomorrow! I hate the idea of one-game series as too chancy, but I love the idea for the tension and excitement.

I think there is a thread for this already, but I could not find it. A good friend and I watched *Tooth Fairy* last evening. He got it for his kids to watch in 2010. It was really good, surprisingly enough. A hockey themed tooth fairy tale. Two grown men with tears in their eyes at the happy ending.

Complain about anything you want. 1 complaint, 20 complaints, who cares? No one is really listening anyways. My complaint for this week... Fast food workers who are miserable beyond belief while on the job. If you hate your job that much, do something about it to better yourself in life. Go back to school or do whatever is needed to find a better job. In the meantime, if you continue to stay in your current position, suck it up and put on a happy face. http://forums.sabrespace.com/public/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gifM

I really envy you northerners. Here it is almost mid-December and it's 82° outside at 7:45PM. It has dropped below 70 for a total of two hours in the last 11 days. I don't care where you live, the AC shouldn't be running this close to Christmas at 3AM. In the last seven weeks we've had .3" of rain. What's the weather like where you're all at?

I used to make hard cider for many years. I stopped around the same time I had kids, but kept my stuff. Back then I always thought beer was too much work. Then a couple months back I saw a YouTube clip on the Brew in a Bag method. I ordered a mesh bag off Amazon, got some ingredients from a homebrew store, and pulled out my old stuff. Some of my BBQ thermometers and outdoor frying equipment came in handy too. For my first batch I went with an Amber Ale. I thought it was okay, but everyone else really liked it. My second batch I've got fermenting is an IPA. I'm hoping it doesn't turn out too hoppy as I went for flavour over bitterness. My next batch will be a lighter American Wheat Beer like Blue Moon, but I think I'd like to try to sub out another flavour for the orange. Maybe lemon or lime? Any ideas? I'm thinking I'll shoot for maybe 4% over 5% as I want this to be a drink by the pool beer. Anyone else into the hobby? Any recipes or stories to share?

Sabrespace Fantasy Football League is now full. Good luck this year boys. We can use this thread or league board for some trash talking! Don't forget the draft is Thurs Aug. 28 at 10:30 pm. If you can't make it don't forget to set your pre-rankings.

Pumped! My wife surprised me with four days in Montreal for my Christmas (and birthday) gift! We will be going to an Amerks game in Laval, and seeing a concert (rock bands Live & Big Wreck—BW are my favs and they’re Canadian). I’ve never been to Montreal and I’m super excited!! And given that I’m a Rochesterian, the hockey game is perfect. Was Santa good to you?

Looks like everyone’s favorite Bruin is coming over to Scotland to play for the Fife Flyers. His signing (or potential signing) has caused the the chief operations operator to resign his post due to not wanting to be associated with the decision to sign a scumbag like Lucic. https://www.fifetoday.co.uk/sport/ice-hockey/fife-flyers-in-turmoil-as-chief-quits-after-club-ignored-his-advice-on-multiple-occasions-5438042

Let's have at it. No politics. Just good old fishin and huntin talk.

This thread is inspired by this video: http://FunnyOrDie.com/m/25mm If you watch it, you'll know the line I'm talking about. This is a place to share the "things/devices/stuff" that you think are AWESOME and you personally endorse and recommend to friends.

Anyone currently using one of the streaming services(Fubo, YouTube, DirectTV, etc…)? Interested in your experience. I am considering DirectTV streaming service. Two year commitment with taxes $110 a month(price locked in for 24 months) including Disney+ bundle(with Hulu & ESPN) which we currently pay for. Current Spectrum cost…$185, just for TV….and they won’t budge even a nickel.

The pizza thread was my favourite. Still another month+ until we have something meaningful to talk about. 😔 It'd be nice to get another fun topic to discuss.

Damn...

I found Jacques Pépin's recipe for Eggs Jeannette. Basically a glorified, seared deviled egg in some sort of french mustard-y sauce. I wonder what the recipe for Eggs Jeanneret would be.

What is your favorite PLAIN potato chip?

I know we're all sick and tired of dealing with SIP orders and being stuck in our houses. So, why not lighten the mood with SFWAF comedy? By all means, guys. Share with the rest of us what makes you laugh. I highly encourage video clips. Or, you could tell us all a really funny thing that you observed. Here's my initial offering: https://youtu.be/ptbs5G-xXRg

Ok, guys. A lot of us are starved for sports, and some of us can't work, shop, or go out to eat for obvious reasons. So, what are you doing to pass the time? Please keep it clean.

A lot of us may know about Hunter's Hope from Jim & Jill Kelly. Here's a similar organization started by Sabres alum Curtis Brown and his wife Ami. https://www.theaubribrownclub.org/ Check it out. We all may know others who need the help.

It doesn’t matter where you’ve been in this world. We all have stories to tell about our favorite places in the world to see for one reason or another. If something comes to mind later, share that too! Feel free to share pics, if you like. The ones that stick in my head are US Route 30 in Lancaster County, PA and the I-26 corridor from Johnson City, TN to the mountains of South Carolina.

Hi everyone - I found this jersey at my local goodwill and am trying to figure out whose autographs are on it. I think the one near the eye is Randy Burridge but I can’t figure out the one near the horn. Any insights?
