Just Announced: Robby To Spin At Buff State Tomorrow

Robby Takac has just announced that he is going to host an impromptu DJ performance tomorrow at Buffalo State College. In order to promote this weekend's Music is Art event, Robby will kick off the live event from 12:15pm to 1:30pm at the Campbell Student Union Quad. The only other time I have had a chance to catch Robby spinning, he packed the house at Stillwater on Delaware (photo - crowd @ Amungus show).
Now Buffalo State students are in for a special treat as they will get a sneak peak as to what can be expected at Saturday's blow-out. Tomorrow's event, co-sponsored by Buffalo State’s Music Department should be a blast for anyone who wants to cruise over to the campus for this free performance.
The weather for Thursday looks to be partly cloudy... and we're going to cross our fingers for the big day on Saturday.

As we mentioned in our previous post, we’re in the process of changing the Buffalo Rising site. We’re almost there as we expect to launch the new site on Friday, December 19th.
In the meantime, posting will be light as we log new stories in the new publishing system which will only be viewable when we launch on Friday.
As always, we appreciate our users’ patience as we make this transition but we promise it will be well worth it. With faster load times, a comment view …

And to think he started out on two plastic turntables hooked up to a television console. No shit - it's true!

Buff State ... they should build a trolley line, and connect Buff State with Villa Maria College, Central Terminal, and the Science Museum, and build an extension to ...
Oh, you're talking about a DJ. Never mind.

You know, Grace, you've crossed the line. You who have moved from the area and feel it necessary to trash talk it. At least Robby is doing something to make the community better while investing in its future. Not like you who has to depend on the kindness of friends to get their album produced. Keep it up, karma is a bitter pill. Kisses, G!

Grace, I just don't understand how you can have such a horrible opinion about someone who is such a great person.
That shows a complete lack of the most important human emotion, and that's sad.
Good Luck.

i find it curious and sad that grace's comment was removed . would have loved to have read it .. just because YOU dont know something to be true, doesnt mean that it isnt .. has this become another buffalo site where people arent allowed to voice their opinions based on their own experiences because it goes against a so called hometown hero?

I agree.
I think her comment was childish and uncalled for, but it shouldn't be removed.
I really can't stand that about this site.

magoo55, she commented on physical appearance which was incorrect. Tho' I do agree that comments should not be taken out unless they are threatening or filled with foul language.

Tesla, I hope you aren't serious. You say that you can't stand that about this site? It is so unbelievably rare that a comment is removed or edited. Buffalo Rising has a pretty good record of letting people say whatever is on their mind. I honestly have no idea what Grace said, but i'm sure that it was removed because it was a personal attack on Robby Takac. Whatever the comment was, I would imagine that it added absolutely nothing of value to the story or the discussion that ensued. Just my opinion.

I don't agree with censorship in any form.
What she said is reprehensible, but I still do NOT condone censorship.

Good night, Gracie.
You're an idiot. You and your Gilbertesque doublespeak, doublespeak. Guess there is some hot jealousy going on in these here parts.
"Yum, yum, Gracie, I will make you my dog-lady and shave your fur to watch you freeze in the southern rains."

Ah, Decock, you got it wrong. So now, look at what you are doing. Picking on the wrong person, GIlbert Neal, who is completely innocent and is just trying to promote his tuneage. Well, Mr. Smartypants, you owe him an apology. Take your nose from behind your sister's furry buttocks and you will see who i really am.

I'm regressing!

you dont ever shut pie hole of yours! you just spew venom and bile due to some ancient wrong that still eats you up on the inside . . . or is it that you are just a raving psychopath?

Grace, I'm confused...
On Sep 5th, 19:55 you posted that you live in Atlanta. Here is the quote from the Gilbert Neal article: i live in atlanta now but i have lived in raleigh and jacksonville fla, all of whom put Buffalo to shame. I lived in Buffalo for 30 years.
then on Sept 6th, 17:39 you posted that you live in Chicago, again the quote: Kooks - this would be funny, except I really don't live in Atlanta. And I'm not a woman. I'm a guy and I live in Chicago. By the way, Buffalo is a horrible city.
So which is it?

whynot - i don't have a penis. i already told you i was a woman and i lived in Alberta, Canada. Can't you follow my story. Why are you so hostile? Why are people like whynot allowed on this board? Many of us are just here to promote buffalo and all it has to offer and you come along with your ad hominem attacks and your buffalo bashing. well i for one will not be a part of your childish games, whynot. i won't stoop down to your infantile level when you use terms that are demeaning and derogatory. this is a board for mature discussion about a city we all love. you should be ashamed of yourself. there are plenty of boards where you can bash me and where you can bash buffalo, so why don't you go find some and stop wasting your time here.

And as far as Grace goes, she is gone. I have sent her to her room for good. Apparently, she has caused quite a negative wave to form upon this board, and I am having none of it! When she is healthy enough to partake in a mature, constructive discussion about buffalo and all it has to offer instead of focusing on the negative (boy, it's easy to focus on the negative) i may let her start to post again. until then, she shall not be allowed to post. apparently she was beginning to have a crush on two fellas on the board, a Kooks and a DECLOAK. I put the kabosh on that! The internet can be a dangerous place, and well, Grace is just 12 years old. Anyhow, whynot, you won't be hearing from Grace anymore. and don't listen to "Sue" either. That's just Grace posing as her older sister. I caught her in the act and am sorry for that. carry on, my fellow buffalonians!

Now now gaustad - i'm sure Grace would be flattered by your statement. However, do you know what that little trollop said? she said Robby Takac looks like a "Nun with Special-needs" with that black thing on his head in the picture at the top of this article! She obviously doesn't understand that Robby wears that to make him look "hip", and he succeeds quite well in my opinion. Grace obviously is a troubled individual and has a very low self-image, otherwise she wouldn't feel the need to come on this board and cause trouble. I told her "You aren't going to change people's minds about Buffalo, Grace. Also, stop attacking people. What will that accomplish?" Do you know what she did, gaustad? She said the people in Buffalo don't have the mentality to change things or the courage to move away, so they have to convince themselves that the city is great...I totally disagree with her, and frankly find her ramblings sadly amusing and quite condescending.
As I said in my last post, Grace will not be allowed to bother the folks on this board anymore. After all, what is she doing to make Cleveland (where she lives) a better place? Nothing. She goes on their boards as well and makes fun of the Browns. "What's a Brown?" she says...
you take care of yourself, gaustad. i'll tell Grace you said hello.

So, you know, in case there’s anybody who wandered in and doesn’t know the back story, my dad always taught me that when there’s an elephant in the room, introduce them. If you look at my CATscans, there are approximately 10 tumors in my liver, and the doctors told me 3-6 months of goodhealth left. That was a month ago, so you can do the math. I have some of the best doctors in the world. So that is what it is. We can’t change it, and we just have to decide how we’re going to respond to that. We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand. If I don’t seem as depressed or morose as I should be, sorry to disappoint you. And I assure you I am not in denial. It’s not like I’m not aware of what’s going on. My family, my three kids, my wife,we just decamped. We bought a lovely house in Virginia, and we’re doing that because that’s a better place for the family to be, down the road. And the other thing is I am in phenomenally good health right now. I mean it’s the greatest thing of cognitive dissonance you will ever see is the fact that I am in really good shape. In fact, I am in better shape than most of you. So anybody who wants to cry or pity me can down and do a few pushups, and then you may pity me.
