It’s the Weekend!

Congrats! You made it through another work week. So let’s go out and have some fun…

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:

Rudy Lu
Andrzej Pilarczyk
Mark Alexander Hudson
J Hunter
Steven Stock
Stanley A. Johnson
Timothy Reidy
David Brickman
Jenny Hansell
Phil Helzer
Gail M. Burns

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:

Sanctuary for Independent Media, Troy
EMPAC at RPI, Troy

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:

Sanctuary for Independent Media, Troy
The Linda, Albany
Cohoes Music Hall, Cohoes
Guthrie Bell Productions, Albany
Palace Theatre, Albany
Academy of Music, Northampton
UAlbany University Art Museum, Albany
Valley Light Opera, Amherst

Thanks for keeping Nippertown alive… and lively,

Sara Ayers
