It’s the Weekend!

Congrats! You made it through yet another week. And now it’s time to get out there and soak up some fun for the big, glorious first official weekend of summer. 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
Andrzej Pilarczyk
Stanley Johnson
Donna Fitzgerald
Martin Benjamin
Gail M. Burns
Joel Reed
Roseann Cane

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 Egg, Albany
Barrington Stage Company, Pittsfield
Sanctuary for Independent Media, Troy
City of Albany Office of Special Events, Albany
Mountain Jam, Hunter
The Spotty Dog, Hudson
Belmont Park, Elmont

Thanks for keeping Nippertown alive… and lively,

Sara Ayers
