This evening I delayed my journey home from work to spend a few very pleasant hours in the company of local Internet royalty at the
All Over Albany 4th Birthday Party.
The location was perfect for a extremely summery early-spring evening. The City Beer Hall's patio, surrounded by the towering presence of downtown Albany was singularly appropriate and the food, beer and company were all excellent.
I spent time chatting with Mary and Greg (the AOA editors and our hosts), Jake from
Chatham Brewing - brewer of the wonderful guest ale, Daniel from
FUSSYlittleBLOG,
Jerry,
Kristi, a group from
YNN including Innae Park, Matt Hunter and
Kate Welshofer,
Albaniana,
Akum and her husband,
Marcie,
Abe, Mike (briefly) and Jen (talked about
dog walking but not
chickens) and a bunch of other very nice people.
Happy Birthday AOA - heart and soul of the online region - and thanks for a lovely evening!

ReplyDeleteI can't believe I missed the chance to talk chickens and all the other exciting urban-activism stuff you guys are involved with - I'm blaming Chatham's 8% IPA! Ah well...next time!
