Ask an Albanian

[galledgoblin]

ok, so technically I'm no longer a resident of Albany NY- I moved across the state last week.

still, I do know some of the finer details that add to the hilarity of NY's governmental meltdown. for example,

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/10/nyregion/10albany.html?_r=2&ref=todayspaper&pagewanted=all
"Mr. Golisano gave up on the Democrats and Mr. Pigeon moved quickly to set up a meeting with three top Senate Republicans. Secrecy was imperative, so they decided to meet at a small Albany rock club, Red Square, an unlikely locale for lawmakers."

I love Red Square, but to say that it was an "unlikely locale" is a poetic understatement. it's a punk club. the ceilings are low, the floor crowded, the music LOUD, the patrons happily drunk.

seriously, if there are any film makers out there, I'd be combing the news for every detail on these events, it'd make a hilarious documentary!

if you see anything you'd like to know more about Albany, ask, if I don't have an answer I may be able to find one.





and yes, hedgehog, I'm working on my paper.
