Buff-rest-alo...



Hi everyone.  I know there's been some radio silence regarding Buffestalo 2013, so we thought we'd get some communication out.  After much deliberation and discussion on various ways to make 2013 work, we've decided to take the year off.  This wasn't an easy decision, and it should in no way be interpreted as the end of Buffestalo.  We are still very much interested in keeping this thing alive, and in discussing how to put it on this year, we have a number of new ideas that we're excited to bring to it.  However, between the Putman family looking forward to a new baby boy in May, Buffalo Lake being drawn down for the entire season in order to allow for repair work on the Montello dam, and a lot of schedule conflicts for Labor Day weekend - a strongly considered alternate date - we've decided that the sensible conclusion is to take a year off. (Sensible?!?  I know...)

It's been a strong and inspiring five year run (shout out to all those that have been to all five!) with amazingly little collateral damage, and we truly have a lot of mixed emotions about making this call, but we hope you will all understand and will be that much more invigorated to contribute to the 2014 reboot.  Besides, as old as we are, time moves fast now.  2014 will be here before we know it, right?  Thanks for all the support and interest in this ridiculous project, and we hope to see you all in other contexts very soon.
