just a thought...albany has party cuises that bands play on...its pretty common...they go down the hudson for a few hours. since red square is no longer a viable place for the band to play, this might be another good option for this summer in the capital region.

what happened to Red Square?

the owner francis doesnt want to work with them/their booking agency anymore because of money issues.  i tried talking him out of it many times but i guess its a no go, at least for now.  sucks.

what about valentines?  there are tons of places they could play in albany i bet.

i\'d LOVE for the guys to get a gig at tulipfest one year - it\'s mother\'s day weekend every year and i go every year.  and it\'s free.  they have tons of bands no one has ever heard of and one or two headliners (this year, spin doctors and rustic overtones, in the past, joan jett, they might be giants, earth wind and fire)

and, i\'m going to ny this weekend might as well hit up this cruise. working on getting out early in boston in order to make it.

tulipfest would be a sweet gig, and its not THAT hard to get (although they typically like to get local bands besides the one or 2 headliners they have)

valentines sucks...the sound blows, it smells like shit in there, and they dont have great beer

i would suggest trying some places in saratoga (maybe try lining up a post-SPAC show in town)  its always super busy after SPAC shows and there a several really good places to play up there.

not sure if I mentioned it, but this show will be the 1062 day after my wedding and the day my divorce finalizes and I once again become single. Seems like a pretty good reason to party.
