The Grape and The Growler opens in Latham

Wednesday, August 28, 2013
A brand new craft beer and wine bar will officially open its doors in Latham this Friday with a ribbon cutting hosted by the Colonie Chamber of Commerce.
The Grape and The Growler is actually the town's first-ever beer and wine bar. The owners describe the establishment at 155 Wade Rd. as having two sides — the Grape is a modern wine bar and the Growler is a tap house with an extensive beer list.
“We look forward to being good neighbors with the town of Colonie," said co-owners Pete Cusato and Joe Schaefer in a news release. "We welcome the challenges that were presented to us along the way and look forward to making Latham a better place to live."
The menu is typical pub fare, and includes salad and burger combinations, four variations of mac and cheese, sandwiches, wings quesadillas, specialty pizzas and dinner entrees.
Friday's ribbon cutting will be held at 3 p.m. The Grape and the Growler will be open Monday through Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., and Thursday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m.

Lisa Lampanelli coming to Proctors but not for stand-up!

http://www.proctors.org/events/lisa-lampanelli



Lisa Lampanelli makes a departure from her signature “insult” comedy in the  developmental production of her new one-woman show Skinny Bitch: NOT A Stand-Up Comedy Show.
The production, which is written by Ms. Lampanelli and 700 Sundays writer Alan Zweibel, will be helmed by Tony Award-winning® director John Rando. In her first theatrical production, Lisa will reveal the woman behind the comic, and her struggle with food, men and body image.
In turns hilariously funny, surprisingly touching and totally relatable, Skinny Bitch: NOT a Stand-Up Comedy Show will show a side to Comedy's Lovable Queen of Mean that few would guess exists.
Lisa has become a household name as a standout contestant on the fifth season of NBC’s Celebrity Apprentice and for famously roasting everyone from Betty White to Flavor Flav. Lisa appeared in the David Chase-directed feature film, Not Fade Away and is currently starring as a series regular on Bounty Hunters, CMT’s first-ever animated show, airing Saturdays at 10 pm ET/PT.
This Grammy-nominated equal opportunity offender is a regular on late-night television, the Comedy Central Roasts, and is a frequent guest and guest host on Howard Stern's Sirius satellite radio shows. Lisa has also appeared on EXTRA as a guest correspondent, is a frequent guest and co-host on TMZ, and has sold out theaters across the country, including NYC's Radio City Music Hall, the Chicago Theatre, and Carnegie Hall. Lampanelli joined the ranks of comedy greats with her 2009 HBO comedy special, Long Live the Queen, and that same year, released her autobiography, Chocolate, Please: My Adventures in Food, Fat and Freaks. Lisa's greatest hits CD, Equal Opportunity Offender, was released in April 2012.

New Music Festival Coming to Albany!

New Music Festival coming to Albany!

Mayer Hawthorne




Ann Arbor, Michigan native and longtime eclectic DJ/producer Andrew Cohen, onetime member of the rap groups Athletic Mic League and Now On, began recording soul-seeped material as something of a joke, but didn't plan to have it reach beyond his circle of friends and family. Mayer Hawthorne, the pseudonym Cohen used for the songs, eventually took on a life of its own. When a couple of Hawthorne songs were played for Peanut Butter Wolf, the Stones Throw label head was baffled; he initially thought he was hearing re-edits of obscure late-'60s/early-'70s soul singles, not the work of a multi-instrumentalist who laid everything down himself. Subsequently signed to Stones Throw, Cohen debuted Hawthorne with "Just Ain't Gonna Work Out" b/w "When I Said Goodbye," a pair of scratchy and bittersweet tales of heartache, on red heart-shaped 7" vinyl. A 12" featuring a cover of New Holidays' obscure 1969 single "Maybe So Maybe No" followed shortly thereafter, preceding the full-length A Strange Arrangement, released in October 2009. After a live set (Stones Throw Direct to Disc #1) and a couple single releases, Hawthorne released his second album, How Do You Do, for Universal Republic in October 2011.
