A quick recap of the week

week review 2010-02-05

Here are a few highlights from the past week on AOA:

+ NPR posted Phantogram's soon-to-be released album Eyelid Movies (and it's good!).

+ Tom Reiner talked about taking over Debbie's Kitchen.

+ The legalization of mixed martial arts in New York State didn't do so well in a poll. Medical marijuana did much better.

+ We totally nerded out on pond ice.

+ Jessica told us about the kimchi at Kim's.

+ It looks like Exit 6 on the Northway is going to be a mess for a while.

+ What was up in the Neighborhood this week: drivers, a cold night on the Capitol steps, rolls, Chipotle, salmon, burger joints, t-shirts, a swap, Vermont, skating, cards, eagles and heckling.

+ Kaitlin gave us the rundown on some of her favorite places in the Capital Region to shop for vintage clothes.

+ We asked people what they would add and subtract from the Capital Region.

+ There's a lot of love out there for Schenectady.

+ Kaitlin went in search of Oxford shoes.

+ A few of the items found on Craigslist this week: a disciplinarian, a possibly color-blind suitor and Nigerian dwarf goat kids.

+ And the Hold Steady will be here in April!

[C]ommon sense tells me (yes, I know one is on dangerous ground when invoking common sense) there's room for consensus here. Or at least compromise. Although something tells me the city won't back off its regulation against live chickens performing in those stand-up comedy showcases. I guess the city has this thing about chickens.
