I always enjoy taking advantage of any opportunity to meet fellow members and supporters of the local media, especially since a lot of interaction only happens in the digital space these days. AllOverAlbany celebrated their 5th anniversary as a website earlier this past week, with a get together at the City Beer Hall. Photographer Andy Kainz captured me talking to a couple friends that I've met from attending art shows in Albany. Thanks for this!
This past weekend, Andrew and I headed to Skidmore to check out bands Delicate Steve and the Dirty Projectors. After circling campus more times than desired, we found that it was in the gymnasium and not at the arts theater (which was only a disappointment given that their sound system in that venue is comparable to that of EMPAC's). I love listening to live bands play in spaces they typically don't perform in and was rather impressed by both Delicate Steve and the Dirty Projectors. Felt like a show to cross off my list, although given the opportunity, I would see either play again in a heartbeat.

I've been busy. The good kind of busy. This post marks the beginning of my new website where I will be preserving my writing in various categories, as I truly believe maintaining an archive is an important part of documenting growth in my career. A blog post may have a mere shelf life of 30 seconds for the viewer, but since I spend quality time on what I produce, I'd like to preserve it in a portfolio space, even if just for my own purposes. This year marks a decade of writing in both personal and professional spaces and I'm excited for whatever may be ahead.
