Half Moon
Thursday, May 22, 2008
The ship is called the Half Moon...a reproduction of the ship that Henry Hudson sailed from Holland to the New World in 1609. Tours will begin again the end of September, for three weekends only with school tours in between. Visit their website for more details...

Sarah, The Aqua Ducks are boarded at the Albany Visitors Center at the corner of Clinton Ave. and Broadway in Albany. You will LOVE the "duck" tour. Don't forget to stop in at the visitors center first, they have tons of info on things to do in Albany.

The East Greenbush Department for Youth Services and Recreation proudly announces: Music in the Park Each summer, the East Greenbush Department for Youth Services and Recreation organizes a concert series that takes place every Tuesday night in August from 6 to 8 pm. The concerts are held at Onderdonk Memorial Park, located on Hampton Avenue. This concert series, called “Music in the Park”, encourages friends, families and neighbors to join together in celebrating the summer season by enjoying the music, the outdoors, and the company. All are invited to attend these concerts. You may come just for the music, or you may stroll around Hampton Manor, enjoying the music. This is also a great way to show your pride and support for the East Greenbush Community.

The Dublin Underground
Friday, June 13, 2008
The Dublin Underground {formerly Savannahs' at the corner of State and So. Pearl St.} will be a traditional Irish pub with indoor/outdoor seating, Irish castle stonework along the inside, and walls with mohogany wood behind the bar. The ceiling will be raised in the back of the bar by six feet with a cobblestone walkway throughout except for a wood dance floor in front of the stage. The stage will be built out by two feet and raised by six inches. There will be a waterfall behind the bar and over twenty beers put on tap...the staff has as much fun as the guests and the food is better than ever! For late night cravings...I highly recommend the bacon, egg, & cheese sandwich...thanks Pete and Joe! Four stars aren't even enough :) Join them every Thursday, this summer, for alive after five! They are only a block away from the Hudson Riverfront.

What's this new place "The Dublin Underground" like? I had been to Savannah's, but having moved to NYC, I lost touch with the downtown hotspots... What else new is going on downtown / Lark Street area? I'm often back in Albany due to family, so I'd love to check some new places out when in town.

Dublin Underground is a lively/friendly bar that mixes it up nightly. Sometimes there is lounge music, live bands, DJs ranging from soft jazz to FLY 92.3 dance music to hip-hop to 104.9 The Edge hardcore music. The food is amazing and available all day/night. It's right between the cluster of downtown nightclubs and the Times Union Center. Check it out!

Discover the Custom Designed Silk Wedding Gown of Your Dreams” Dear Bride-To-Be, Imagine, discussing your unique wedding dress…with your own personal designer! You describe your vision of the perfect dress. He listens closely. Asks questions. Pictures the gown in his mind. Then, while you preview his fine laces, he begins sketching your ideas. You’re amazed at the price…it’s well within your budget. While busy hand selecting the material, it hits you …you’re creating the one-of-a-kind wedding dress of your dreams! Far fetched? Not at all. Let me explain. I studied at the Fashion Institute of Technology and designed at the internationally acclaimed New York fashion houses of Amsale Aberra, Manale, and Junko Yoshioka. I now bring my line, “Pablo Bailon Couture” to you here in Central New York. You and I will create your dress with fine imported silk from Japan, France, and Italy. Most brides prefer silk for its light comfortable fit and rich sheen. And that’s just the beginning. After the preliminary decisions about the cut, color, and style, we’ll start with a muslin pattern. We can then make changes to the prototype, assuring a perfect fit. And, I’ll sew your dress without seams, adding to your comfort and the quality of the dress. “I love Pablo and it’s wonderful working with him. And his prices are incredibly reasonable for a one-of-a-kind dress... I highly recommend him.” Victoria Turner, New York Mills, NY “With Pablo, it’s all about you. You’re not just another number. I could never have bought a custom-made dress from any other designer for the price.” Jennifer Baskinger Lake, Sauquoit, NY Indulge yourself wearing the custom crafted wedding gown of your dreams…and within your budget (prices start at only $600!). I have openings in my schedule, but it does fill quickly. Call me today at 315.797.5385 and we’ll start designing the most beautiful wedding gown you can imagine. Sincerely, Pablo Bailon
