Went to see Stephen Colbert tonight with Jerry and his wife (who i finally met after knowing Jerry for 4 years ha). It was fantastic. I think he was more himself, than the Colbert Report character most of the time, and he was very funny. He poked a few jokes at UB about their sucky football team (and later in Q&A someone pointed out that this year they share the mac east somethingorother championship and he had to apologize ha), and about Buffalo weather – the usual. He did a bit on Eliot Spitzer and how Spitzer was on his show 10 minutes before calling his prostitute that got him in trouble. He closed out with “the word” before a q&a that was amusing as well. He was on stage an hour and a half, and it was well worth the ticket price.
It’s common knowledge among BCT people that 10 years ago UB recast the concourse buffalo using the original molds to create a campus mascot, and the mascot sits outside the Arts building. Well…they don’t have 1 buffalo, they have 2…and it was on stage behind Colbert (and he tried to grab it’s balls, only it didn’t have any haha). The 2nd one appears to be somewhat mobile, which leads to the possibilty of new molds being cast from it, since the original molds have since been lost (again). Or, I think they should just donate it to us 🙂 I want a buffalo damnit.
