Part 2

Hello loyal followers (as of today that consists of 2 of you). Last week was a crazy one in the world. Brian and I went to Ohio, the Phillies and the Dodgers began a playoff series, and a boy was in a box in an attic.

Brian and I went to Ohio to perform for a Salvation Army Pastor's retreat, which was held at a nice resort in Northern OH. The age range of the crowd ranged from late 20's to 70's, but the majority was probably 50's. We let them know that we were a little nervous because we are used to performing for much older crowds.

On the way home we got delayed at the Columbus Airport. We ran into fellow comedian Jeff Allen (www.JeffAllenComedy.com). He recognized us but I'm pretty sure he didn't know our names. He recommended that we go try and get a refund because our flight was delayed, and then ran away giggling.

We also gathered around a television with all of the other stranded Columbus passengers, watching what appeared to be a flying microwavable popcorn bag. Apparently the thought was that a young boy named Falcon was inside. I had just seen an episode of "Curious George," where George was in a runaway hot air balloon, so I knew this was a problem. After watching endless footage of this balloon fly and hearing people call into Headline News from states no where near the event, I was glad to know that there wasn't anything else in the world we would be worried about like war, the economy, or how scary "Where the Wild Things Are" is.

Whilst in Ohio we stumbled upon a Chinese Buffet that literally called one of us by name.

Brian Buffet
101 Plank Rd.
Norwalk, OH 44857



Brian Buffet was a pleasant little surprise contained in the walls of a strip mall near the Norwalk Walmart. The service was acceptable, meaning we received refill on our drinks without having to ask and the plates didn't pile up. The bathroom was probably the cleanest public restroom we have ever been in. I'm not saying I would choose to eat off of the urinal, but if forced to I wouldn't be overly concerned.

There was a fantastic selection of food. The Seafood Delight and the General Tso's was exceptional. The Chinese Mac N Cheese was typical buffet faire and the Lo Mein left a lot to be desired. For dessert though, the bananas in an enigmatic red sauce and chocolate pudding were exquisite.

First Blog Will Rock You

This is the first blog of the Musical Comedy Team, Dave and Brian (www.DaveAndBrian.com). As you read this blog you may be experiencing many things: Confusion, Excitement, Angina, etc. You may be wondering, "How can Dave and Brian contribute to the blog-world in such a way to change my life?" This is a great question, but the answer will fill you with wonder so we shall let it be, so as not to cause redundancy.

Our booking agent, Kelsey Bufkin, recommended that we start a blog. Is it because she thinks it will help us get more bookings or because she knows that we have thoughts that will blow your mind? If this blog makes you want to book us you can contact her at kelsey@daveandbrian.com. If you think your mind is going to be blown, wear a headband.

We are going to break the rules of blogging and try not to be too political or philosophical. We'll try not to incite anger or any other incitations. The last thing we need is chaos in the streets and people raiding the Disney Vault because of our blog.

This blog will just contain some stupid comments and observations. Maybe there will be information on Dave and Brian happenings. Most importantly though, each blog will end with a review of a Chinese Buffet that we have visited. Tell your friends and let's build a following. Here is your first review:

Chinese Buffet Restaurant
401 Elmira Rd.
Ithaca, NY 14850

The Chinese Buffet sees no need for a fancy name like King's, Wong's, or McDonald's. They are a Chinese Buffet and proud of it, as they should be. There is a large selection of food and the service is incredible.

It contains all of the standards like Crab Rangoon, General Tso's, Chinese Donuts, and of course, Chocolate Pudding. We recommend going at dinner time because the Snow Crab is only for dinner customers. It's a great place to bring the family, have business meetings, or for a time of personal reflection. Check out Buttermilk Falls right next door and ask for Vincent when being seated. 5 Stars.
