friday the first ( art opening ! )

maybe you can have a friday
evening stroll down hudson avenue
this friday, september 1, 2006.
there's an opening reception
for a neighborhood art show at
amrose + sable gallery
in downtown albany
(on hudson avenue,
between lark and dove streets.)
from 6:00 to 8:00pm.

( i made five photographs and
many little drawings
in a book that opens like an accordion.
they will be there.
come see them if you can, they are
simple and kind. the show is
up for a short time, until september 10. )

friday the first ( a concert ! )

a swell, exciting,
music show with

missy bly
the luxury flats
two gun man

friday, september 1, 2006, 8:00pm
at valentines music hall
17 new scotland avenue
albany, new york

"missy bly" is a great band from
burlington, vermont. their music is
a great match for the soul of a
friday night: it's fun, it's smart,
it'll make your toe tap.
their songs and shows
are instant fun and smiles
for my head.

you may recall "the luxury flats"
since they were recently on
a cover story in metroland.
their music rocks from freak-folk
and rolls to electric.
they reside in hudson, new york.
i've seen them play once.
i really liked it.

"two gun man" describe
their music as "indie and folk and rockabilly."
i am excited to know about this band.
i just listened to their myspace songs.
and now friday can't come soon enough!
