It’s the Weekend!

Congratulations! You made it through the work-week, and now it’s time to get out there and soak up as much weekend fun as possible.

But before we head out for our 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
Kirsten Ferguson
Gail M. Burns
J Hunter
Rudy Lu
Timothy Reidy
Richard Brody
Stanley Johnson
Herb Karnes
Andrew Gregory
Rosanne Cane
Eric Gleason

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:

WEQX-FM, Manchester
The Hollow Bar + Kitchen, Albany
