August 2

We wake up and go get breakfast at the Moth. Lyyli works on her thesis in the living room while Jeremy works on his logic for tutoring. Jeremy goes and meet Ayoosh to teach him some logic, while Lyyli gets dinner at the Moth.

Around 7 pm, Janel and Dan call Lyyli and tell her that they just arrived at the Hyatt Hotel in Buffalo where they gonna stay for two days. Janel is Lyyli's best friend from Detroit, they met in Korea something like 5 years ago and they have ever since made a deal that they would be travelling together around the world at least once a year. Dan is Janel's boyfriend. He is a journalist but also work as a photograph and is very interested in the urban exploration of abandoned buildings, which is probably why he decided to come along with Janel to Buffalo, as rumors say that Detroit and Buffalo are two very similar cities.
Lyyli goes to meet them at the Hyatt in downtown and gives them a short tour of downtown Buffalo while looking for a place for them to eat. Lyyli desperately tries and convince them that Buffalo is an horrible city, but for some unexplicable reason, both Janel and Dan seem to actually enjoy it, perhaps because it reminds them of a better version of Detroit. Because everything is closed in downtown, we end up at the Anchor Bar on Main street, which is supposedly the original place where the Buffalo wings were first made. Dan is not so happy because he is vegetarian, but Janel nevertheless decides to try the spicy Buffalo wings in order to find out whether they are really that much better than in other places. She doesnt really seem to enjoy them so much, so we decide to drink wine instead, in order to forget about it.


We then head back towards Allentown as it is the last day of the infringement festival. We go to Nietsche's where there is the final celebration of the festival and we meet people from the Moth who tell us to go check out the fire show of Krystle and her friend in the park. We go get a bottle of wine to drink in the park while watching the fire show but the show is over as soon as we get there so we decide to go back into the bar to drink our wine. Jeremy joins us and then Hallil comes too. As is usually the case, Lyyli pass out for about 15 minutes. We then all go hang out outside of the bar, where we meet the crazy looking bum (who wasnt really a bum) who gives us a lot of information about the urban exploration of the city of Buffalo.
