Another great video. Good job keeping your cool. My pulse quickened when I heard the controller say "get across the runway". What is the NASA form referred to in another comment?
@OnTrackDriver Thanks. The US government established the Aviation Safety Reporting System to collect reports of safety concerns from those involved in aviation. NASA was selected to administer it as an "independent 3rd party". They sanitize identifying information and publish the reports. Reports are confidential and the FAA offers wide immunity if an ASRS report is filed on an incident. Web site: asrs.arc.nasa.gov
Yea KBUF is tough to find at night - it is wise to ask for the ILS or at least back yourself up with it to make sure that what you are looking at - is the runway
Looking at the satellite imagery on Bing, I do not see a hold short line on 32, while there is one on 14. I also notice that the distance from 32 to 23 is about half the distance from 14 to 23. Makes me think the controller should not have even asked for a hold short regardless of the circumstances.

That was very cool and impressive. Is that a private plane? I would love to get my pilot's license - I love to fly

Yes, I'm a part owner of a private plane. Have you looked into what it takes to be a pilot?

Very good points - and certainly helps explain why I had a hard time figuring out where I should have been holding short. :)
