I guess since Noggins is new to the area I was hoping we could give him some ideas of what to do here in the capital district that is fun. I myself like to visit downtown albany every now and then see how everything has changed and all the festivals going on. Lark fest will be here shortly and it is fun.

Hey we missed you at the meeting tonight. By the way hang out with Noggins if you want to pick up any chicks. With his Welsh accent he picked up a barmaid and his roommates sister. The dude has charm and doesnt even know it. I guess it is the Welsh equivalent to Barry White. The Lark fest will begin mid September. That is fun. It is on Lark Street in Albany.

And my discovery is that Quintessence is the coolest bar ever - it's a converted diner and they didn't ID any of us who went there are few days back. Great stuff. Plus, the barmaid who was there the night I went was cute 
One thing that can be said for this city is the sheer amount of cool bars!!

I think I would enjoy barhopping with you, Welshman. Try to pick up a few guys for me as well.

Well, I'm always up for doing a pub crawl... or bar crawl as I guess it'd be here!!! I've found some great places around here already - it's a shame I was so drunk I'll probably never find them again

bar hopping is a tradition among SUNY students. Jillians, the Q, Michaels(which is a last stop bar), mardi gras. many places to go, too few hours in a night.

At least bars in Albany are open until 4 a.m., unlike lame Washington, DC where they close at 2 a.m. here.
Other stuff to do in Albany besides drink? Ummmmm....... Go to Crossgates and hang out. I used to go to the movies a lot. SPAC is always good in the summer. If you like the outdoors, you're in the right place for everything. Not far from good skiing in the Adirondacks, Catskills, VT, MA and even NH.
Still pissed that 104.5FM isn't all '80s anymore......

Ah, but bars open until 4am are not a good idea when you've got a 8am class the next morning as I've already discovered

Well, Stinky... *ahem*... Sneaky Pete's is okay if you're into dance/techno music and bad beer but otherwise it's really not worth it. As a metal fan I feel totally out of place - I was there last night and spent all my time out the back in the smokers' pen chatting to various people which was no doubt more fun than I would've had inside
