Shoretalk - There is one party that I know of.
Next Thursday (duh) @ Marotto's (56 Niagara Street, Buffalo NY).
It's located on the corner of Franklin and Niagara, right in the heart of downtown. It's right next to the pizzeria DOUGHBOIS.
$3.00 beers and ... FREE PIZZA (for a period of time, not sure how much he's going to put out but hey, if there's a big crowd there should be a decent amount). My buddy bartends there and is trying to drum up some interest for this.
