I will be in Albany on the morning of January 9th to support a ban of fracking in NY.

Anything going on the night before?

[Lemireacle]

What day of the week is it? I don't know of anything offhand.

[Deadshow Dan]

State of the State is on a Wednesday

So this would be a Tuesday night

[Royal]

There is usually an Americana Music Club on Tuesday nights at Valentine's. They haven't listed any acts for January/2013 yet though.

The 8th is also the anniversary of Elvis' birthday, so there will most likely be an Elvis birthday bash/tribute going on somewhere if you're into that.

[Deadshow Dan]

thanks!

Dust off that Elvis costume Danny...!

[Lemireacle]

You got it! I should be around, so at the very least, if there's nothing happening, you can come by for some refreshmentts.

Bring this even if there is no Elvis show.

[megmyster]

Danny will BE the Elvis show

Hey Dan,

Can you do me a favor? I dont really understand fracking and it's dangers to the people and planet. Can you write a brief explantion for me? Think of it as if you were writing to a 9th grader. Thanks a lot. I've been nicer to you this year, hope you can help me out.

I looked at this even though you're on the ignore list.
I would be happy to answer your question, but:
1. I fear that would turn it into a moveable thread
2. It's already been done. I'd suggest watching Gasland or The Sky is Pink, or better yet get yourself to a screening of Dear Gov. Cuomo

Feel free to contact me off board and I can point you to more

Thanks for the tips Dan, I'll check out those films after volunteering tomorrow.

[Deadshow Dan]

You're welcome.

There is also a movie called "Promised Land" that will be coming out January 4th. (Dec. 28th limited showings) with Matt Damon. The trailers look promising

I'm taking the bus (at least 4 coming from Ithaca!)

 

We'll probably have a few moments to grab a bite in the area.  We rally before the State of State which starts at 1:30, buses leave at 3.  But I'll be going to a few offices first.

 

Any pro tips on somewhere to grab something to go real close to the Capital/Egg/South Concourse?  I'm sure easy to find myself, but pro tips are pro tips!

There's a ton of places on N. Pearl St.

Walk down State St towards the river and go left on N. Pearl

Royal, I second the Gasland documentary recommendation.

 

Dan, I used to enjoy the atmosphere on Lark Street, which is walking distance up the hill from The Egg.

[Raynequeen]

also very close the iron gate cafe 182 Washington Avenue  Albany, NY 12210 https://www.irongatecafe.com/index.php
go to the washington ave side of the cap. walk up the hill - is on the left... if you go there before 2 pm let me know and i'll meet ya (I work two buildings up!) the iron gate i suggest over other places because its fast but healthy... can sit down but can get to go and are quick!

 

if you have time to sit... http://www.centersquarepub.com/ 32 dove street.  go up washington or state... and is on the corner. not as quick as iron gate is but most aren't at lunch time here.
