Congratulations to this week's winner of the Q103 Work Day Distraction- the Graduate Admission Office of the College of Saint Rose!  Matt got to be the office hero by nominating his work place, where the team work hard all year long.  In fact, they were working hard when I got there, and I wound up crashing a 'visitors' day as well...

A friend of mine was in downtown Albany this morning waiting for tickets to go on sale at the box office and it got me thinking about the last time I did the same and which bands I would still do that for.

Congratulations to Danielle, Kimberly, Alyssa, Jarrett, and their team at the Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences for winning Q103's Work Day Distraction!

A huge congratulations to Sergey, Arthur, and the rest of their crew who won last week's Q103 Work Day Distraction!  These guys work down on New Scotland Ave, and they work hard.  I had to strategically time my arrival to catch some of the crew coming off of the night shift, and greet some of the guys coming on for the day...

In another great night of rock music in the Capital Region, Sevendust headlined a line-up of solid rock acts to bring the heat to Upstate Concert Hall!
