It’s the Weekend!

Goodbye, you old and oh-so-wet week. But here comes the Fathers’ Day weekend – and some sunshine – and that’s going to be so much more fun…

But before we head out for our big fun festival 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
Timothy Reidy
Kirsten Ferguson
Gail M. Burns
J Hunter
Dan Hogan
Richard Brody
Wanda Callagy
Stanley Johnson
Andrew Gregory

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.

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:

The Hollow Bar + Kitchen, Albany
MASS MoCA, North Adams
Club Helsinki, Hudson
City of Albany Office of Special Events, Albany
Putnam Den, Saratoga Springs
Shakespeare & Co., Lenox
Skidmore College, Saratoga Springs
Red Square, Albany
Cohoes Music Hall, Cohoes
Tierra Coffee Roasters, Albany

Thanks for keeping Nippertown alive… and lively,

Sara Ayers
