It’s the Weekend!

Kiss the work week goodbye, and say hello to the weekend!

But before we head out for some big fun weekend around Nippertown, we’d like to send a great big thank-you to everyone who dropped by this week to add encouragement, support, proof-reading and, yes, criticism, too. And thanks for helping to spread the word about Nippertown.com.

Of course, we couldn’t possibly cover the wide, wonderful scope of offerings around town without a dedicated and devoted bunch of wonderful writers, photographers, artists, tipsters and other assorted enablers who continually enrich us all with their contributions. So a big salute goes out to this week’s community contributors:

Larry Murray
Rudy Lu
J Hunter
Albert Brooks
Tim Livingston
Timothy Reidy
Kirsten Ferguson
Mike Kats

Please consider adding your name to this list. Just send us something – a review, preview, interview, photo, list, rant, crayon drawing or whatever’s on your mind. Remember, Nippertown is your hometown, and we can’t possibly do this without your help.

Thanks to the fine folks who provided us with cool give-away merch – tix, CDs, downloads and other swag – for the faithful Nippertown readers:

Dellarocca Booking, Albany
Guthrie Bell Productions, Albany
The Ale House, Troy
Valentine’s Music Hall, Albany
Caffe Lena, Saratoga Springs
The Bayou Cafe, Albany

And thanks to all of the folks from the area venues and organizations who were gracious enough to provide us with review tickets and/or photo passes for their events:

Proctors, Schenectady
The Egg, Albany
Club Helsinki, Hudson
The Ale House, Troy
Valentine’s Music Hall, Albany
The Van Dyck, Schenectady

Thanks for keeping Nippertown alive… and lively,
