Blog Power

Lots of comments on the Buffalo blogs on Donn Esmonde's column today (on blogs, particularly Buffalorising). The most interesting comment to me was from Newell, who basicaly said that blogs can focus on community building issues. That is what I really have to applaud BRO for- I have been reading Bflo rising daily for several months, and the feeling that I really have an understanding of what's going on in this town.
In a way, that focus is what I want to do with this blog. I, and most other Buffalo artists know how creative this town can be. There's inspiration all around- that's the heart of this "New Buffalo" movement. I just know that somehow we can get by this lack of funding and art education for the city kids and make it work.
