the best and the worst thing about last week...

Last week one of my favorite bands, moe. was playing at the Armory, which is just a few short blocks from our apartment.  That's the best part.  The worst part? Being really too sick to go, but going anyway, and paying the price a week later.

I was so high on cold meds that I don't remember too much from the show, but I did manage to get a few shots of the happenings in the Armory that night.  During the second set they brought out some aliens, and they danced on stage.  It was a pretty awesome night (from what I remember!).  Take it from me kids- even if you're sick, go and have fun, because you only live once!

 look at those awesome lights!  I was really diggin' them.

 oh al.
 Hey!  Cheers!  We're having an awesome time!

 I really had fun looking at this.


 Someone in the front had an awesome glow in the dark spinny thing.  It was cool.

 Alien!
 Dancing aliens!

Attack of the aliens!

My new favorite restaurant!

As I told you yesterday, Matt took me to New World Bistro for my birthday dinner.  Ahhhh- it was excellent! Best part about it?  There was plenty of light at our table, so that I can share it with all of you!  Thankfully I brought my camera!

 We started off with yummy bread.  It was so hard not to eat too much!


 I decided on a lemon-basil mojito.  I thought it would compliment all the seafood I was about to devour.

 Clams!  Holy shit these were good.  They were in this amazing broth with chorizo and lots of fresh herbs.  Good thing we had that bread to soak up all the juices!

Matt got the steak frites.  I don't even know really what was included on the plate.  It was just- delicious!

I got the hemp nut crusted salmon with greens and corn pudding.  I'm salivating just thinking about it.  There was an apply chutney on top that complimented the salmon perfectly, and a spicy sauce that brought it all together.

mmmmm... dessert!  This is a Mexican cinnamon creme brulee.  Pefection!

Best.  Meal. Ever

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hope you're all having a wonderful day!  I thought it would be fun this Thanksgiving to show you a few pictures from our time last year!

My parents, sister, and her boyfriend made the trek up to Albany for the first annual Kelly/Kramer Thanksgiving extravaganza (LOVE that me and Matt's last names just make up my name!)

The Kramers!

 Thanskgiving breakfast...

 Photo shoot in the park- fancy!

 Here's my beautifully decorated table- thanks Target!

 My mom taught me to fold napkins like that- she's amazing.

 Here's the spread- lots of booze, and lots of food!
Best part- dessert!

autumn bbq...

Between some rainy autumn days have been some absolutely gorgeous and warm fall nights.  Matt surprised me with some ballin' steaks the other night, and we headed outside to grill them up and enjoy a beautiful (and warm- I didn't even need a coat!) autumn night...

 this shot was actually taken at night!  it was totally dark outside!  i couldn't believe how this one came out...
 every great bbq has to have some booze!
 beautiful veggies just waiting to get grilled up!
 look at those beauties... t-bones-my fave!
 almost ready!
beautiful view of the capitol all lit up....

for more shots of this beautiful night, check out my flickr set!

shop local- last but certainly not least!

This week for our shop local post, I went straight to the back of the line, and explored all of those Albany Etsians who haven't updated their shop in awhile.  These artists are amazing, creative, and downright awesome.  Please visit their shops and give them a little love!

meat gloves...

Just a quick back story on the name of these gloves.  I have a friend named Meagan.  Interestingly enough, the first three letters of her name also are the first three letters of the word "meat."  When you've had one too many whiskey and cokes, the two can get confused... easily.  Now, she's known as Meaty!

Anyway, I made a pair of gloves for her last year, but she's asked me to make another pair!  Here's the work in progress...

surprise surprise...

so, i FINALLY had a free day last weekend and decided that the best use of my free alone time would be to head over to Washinton Park and take pictures of those rapidly changing leaves. The only problem- the leaves haven't changed yet over there!  as disappointed as i was (and worried because i don't know the next day that  i'll be free to shoot), i made the most of my day and started shooting away.  the sun was getting low, and i got some AWESOME  light.  i ended up really pleased with a lot that i shot, and am planning on getting some of these up on etsy as soon as possible.  check out the full set here.

here are a few of my personal favorites from the day...

sleigh bells, 9.30.10, valentines's

up next from last thursday night was sleigh bells.  these guys are CRAZY, and the audience was super into them, so I didn't get as many good shots as i wanted too.  i was literally scared that i would get trampled.  so i hung out with the guys from ghoul poon at a safe distace, but still managed to get some pretty interesting shots regardless...
