It’s the Weekend!

Congrats! You made it through yet another week of work/school/unemployment. And now it’s time to get out there and enjoy a fabulous weekend. But before we head out, 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
Andrzej Pilarczyk
Rick Bedrosian
Wanda Callagy
Don Wilcock
Joseph Deuel
Timothy Reidy
Tom Lindsay
Rudy Lu

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:

The Palace Theatre, 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:

The Troy Savings Bank Music Hall, Troy
Caffe Lena, Saratoga Springs
The Low Beat, Albany
WAMC-FM’s The Linda, Albany
The Van Dyck, Schenectady
The Egg, Albany
The Ale House, Troy

Crandall Public Library Folklife Center, Glens Falls

Thanks for keeping Nippertown alive… and lively,

Sara Ayers
