Conan's Cast-Off

If you didn't already know Jay Leno is leaving the Tonight Show. About a year or so ago NBC announced that his replacement would be the Late Night host Conan O'Brien. NBC also stated that Jimmy Fallon would replace Conan O'Brien on Late Night as of March 2nd, 2009. On another note, I read earlier today the former co-host Andy Richter would be returning and acting as the announcer on the Tonight Show.

So here is a clip from the last Late Night with Conan O'Brien where he speaks of those behind the scenes, those who got him here, and all of the rest of his supporting cast. I hope you enjoy Conan as the host of the Tonight Show as much as you've liked his work on Late Night. Check out Conan on the Tonight Show starting June 1st, 2009.

Wedding Update(d)

So after two wedding party hiccups we're confident that we have the supporting cast willing and able to go the distance with us this June in Tahoe. I've updated the facebook group, the wedding website and finally our wedding t-shirts. Here is the newly designed and updated wedding tee and a sneak peek for those following my daily doses of insanity.

I.M. Pei's Fredonia State

When I was in art class in 8th grade at Fredonia Middle School my teacher told me about a world-famous architect that built the new wing of the Louvre, the new wing of the National Gallery of Art, and he also created the many building on the campus of the State University of New York - Fredonia. Fredonia State, as it is better known, consists of several dominanting cement buildings that capture the skyline of campus. Also there is a several mile road encompassing all of the main portions of camus. Ring Road and the buildings were designed by I.M. Pei and his company around 1968.



Many residents of Fredonia and even graduates of Fredonia State go on never having a clue that the campus they walked upon so easily was hand designed by one of the world's most renowned architets. Above are some of the buildings that Pei designed for the campus. First is Maytum Hall, the campus residences with suite style dorm rooms. Second is the Williams Center, where Jenny and I attended our Winter Ball freshmen year of high school. Next is the Reed Library with its iconic tower with study rooms overlooking the campus. (Also provides an awesome skate spot for those looking in WNY.) Finally is Rockefeller Art Center one of the most acousticly sound buildings I have ever stepped into.

Below are some of Pei's better known works, the Louvre Pyramid, the National Gallery of Art East Building, and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. He is currently working on the NASCAR Hall of Fame due to open in 2010 in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Jenn Stuczynski

Today I'd like to inform you about Fredonia High School graduate and Woman's Pole Vault Olympic Silver Medalist Jenn Stuczynski. She continues to focus in on the World Indoor Record after she achieved the Indoor American Record at the Boston Indoor Games at the beginning of February. She was also named by Track & Field News as the American Woman Athlete of the Year for 2008.

Jenn was an amazing track star at Fredonia High School. Many that competed with and against her saying that she was light-years ahead of anyone at any event. Oddly enough though, Jenn didn't pole vault at Fredonia, she barely began the sport six years ago, and now she can claim an Olympic Silver Medal at Beijing.

Here is her Nutrilite commercial along with her press conference immediately following her receieving the Indoor American Record in Women's Pole Vault. I hope to keep you updated on Jenn's progress leading up to the London 2012 Olympic Games.
