Sail Away This Summer In Buffalo!

Jill Daniels — Sat, 18 May 2013 22:43:32 +0000

My mission this summer is to rediscover Buffalo.

I realize that every summer I always have great intentions of going to all these fun events in Buffalo, and then never get to them. Most of the time I didn't even realize they were happening until after they were over!

So this year instead of all us missing out on the fun, I’m going find new and exciting events for us to check out!

Buffalo Staff — Wed, 08 May 2013 18:47:04 +0000

We found a thing.

Digging around on the interwebs, we recently came across the Wayback Machine. It's essentially a time machine for websites that allows you to go back to all of your design mistakes and regrets. Fun, right?

So we thought we'd go back and show you what 929JackFM.com has looked like in years past. Because we're told it's mature or something to be able to laugh at yourself.

John — Mon, 06 May 2013 17:34:24 +0000

Why does Axl Rose go on stage so late? The first time I caught Guns ‘N Roses live, they had a 8 p.m. start, only to finally go on at 12:20 a.m. The next time, they had a 7:30 p.m. start, only to go on at 12:05 a.m. Axl Rose says he goes on when he’s ready, [...]
