Final thoughts on Buffestalo '09


Wow. Buffestalo '09 once again exceeded our expectations, which is to say that everyone that attended brought it. Nice work people. That was some good stuff. It took us the better part of a week to de-festalo, but damn, that was worth it. Just wanted to express our thanks to all of you - I won't name names at the risk of leaving someone out, but if you played something, sang something, filmed something, painted something, acted in something, edited something, built something, cooked something, cleaned something, danced something (?), or simply drank something, we applaud you and thank you.

Since Buffestalo '09 was (mostly) injury and damage free we are feeling good about moving forward with Buffestalo '10. Darby tells me I more than adequately expressed the Buffestalo Mission Statement over the course of my intoxicated ramblings on the mic, so I know you all get the deal. Clearly. We have already discussed many ideas for improvements next year, both in entertainment and management, and we'll work them out and announce them - or not - as appropriate at a later date.

We would also like to solicit feedback from you, the Buffestalo-goers, however. Feel free to post comments on this blog, respond to the email thread, or reach out to Darby or me directly. We wanna hear what you think, what you liked and didn't like, what your ideas are for the evolution of the 'festalo, and what else you think we should do.

We love Buffestalo and we love you. Thanks.
