Irony Defined

July 16th, 2008 News

Almost immediately after pledging on Buffalo Issue Alerts to stop posting CACGEC updates at that listserv, Joel Rose posted this:

In the fight to keep casino gambling out of Buffalo and Erie County, the tide has turned, and we can now see victory within our sights. We have battles yet to wage, but Judge William Skretny’s decision of July 8, 2008, marked the turning point in our efforts.

As promised, we’re having a victory celebration party! We don’t have the details worked out yet, but we do have a place and a date, as well as a probable time. So I wanted to let you all know as soon as possible so you could mark the event on your calendars.

Date: Friday, August 15, 2008
Time: 7-10 pm (tentative, subject to change)
Place: Niagara Frontier American Legion Post 1041
533 Amherst Street (at Grant)
Buffalo, N.Y. 14207

By the way:

Bingo Night at the Niagara Frontier American Legion Post 1041 is Mondays at 7:30. KTHXBAI.

    In all fairness Joel stated “As I realize that for some of us, it takes a while to get around to doing something, I’ll wait two weeks before unsubscribing the BfloIssueAlerts list from the CACGEC list.”

    Is this a public affair? I say someone bring the blackjack tables and maybe a slot machine or two to celebrate!!!!

    I guess it’s okay because they don’t accompany the Bingo with a gazillion desserts, fresh seafood flown in from all over and tons of red meat. It’s the kind of place one can be proud to bring German tourists.

    Forget Bingo. Do they have those tear off tickets?

    Why not just hold it at Turning Stone? I am pretty sure the victory party celebrating the closing of that was a hit…
