The clouds clear and sunrays poke out to illuminate the backyard of the Albright Knox art gallery. It’s the perfect day for a photo shoot and today’s model is Grace Modi, who is wearing a cotton dress emblazoned with dozens of Artvoice logos. We are at the Albright Knox, across the street from Buffalo State College shooting for the inaugural Artvoice Fashion issue.

The specific goals of a critic are influenced by the city in which he (or less often, she) works. In Manhattan, the center of the American theatrical universe, critics tend to adopt the role of Nero: thumbs up, or thumbs down. Accustomed to seeing highly polished work that has been refined in other cities, journalists in New York City often have little experience of seeing work in development.

Is Al Kryszak Buffalo’s “stealth” classical music composer? Kryszak has been composing and performing music in many different genres for over thirty years, but his name is not yet all that familiar to Buffalo classical music audiences, let alone to the national audience for classical, or, as Kryszak prefers to call it, concert music.

Eddie Murphy was the comic to be in the 1980s, so it’s no surprise that his older brother knows how to spin a pretty hilarious tale himself. Charlie Murphy rose to prominence when “Charlie Murphy’s True Hollywood Stories” on Chappelle’s Show became some of the most iconic and most quoted pieces of comedy in decades.

I really should have known better than when I entered the Northtown Porsche showroom last week and asked to see the new Macan. Either I was thinking it was an Irish name, or else maybe I had bacon on my mind.

On November 4th, voters will elect five New York State Supreme Court trial justices. NY State Supreme Court is the trial court with the broadest jurisdiction. All types of cases can be brought before the court, except cases involving claims against the state, which must be heard in the Court of Claims. The judicial composition of the court should reflect the broad ethnicity of the approximate one-million citizens that it serves.

Jeff Mizanskey, 61, is a poster child for one well- known criticism of mandatory-minimum sentencing laws—that nonviolent marijuana users (and small-time sellers) may wind up doing decades of hard time and in fact more time than some sociopathic offenders serve for heinous offenses.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): When we are launching any big project, our minds hide from us the full truth about how difficult it will be. If we knew beforehand all of the tests we would eventually face, we might never attempt it.
