Blogorama: Four Day Work Week Edition
Before we begin: please take ten seconds out of your day to vote to revitalize downtown Troy in the Pepsi Refresh project. Let’s do this! Every vote counts, so do it early and often!

AWESOME WEEKEND!
Tonight (Friday): Sgt. Dunbar & The Hobo Banned at Valentine’s in Albany! Also playing are Glenn Yoder, the Red Lions, and Littlefoot. $7 at the door.
Tomorrow (Saturday): ARES Promotion’s Fight Night III is at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Albany. Check the Facebook page for more info, and also keep an eye on the Boxing in the Capital Region blog. Its author, RING Magazine columnist Michael Rivest, will be in attendance and I’m sure will recap it. Best of luck to the locals on the card.
Also Tomorrow: for those of you who can’t make it out to Albany, UFC’s Fight for the Troops is live on Spike at 9pm. The event is headlined by Evan Dunham taking on Melvin Guillard and also features Matt Mitrione taking on Tim Hague. It’s all to raise money for the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund, which goes to veterans who have suffered traumatic brain injuries and their families. You can donate directly here, and there’s also an auction.
This week – War of the Mascots, Getting Your S*** Together, and Gary Busey. This…is Blogorama.

I love Superheroes Etc. too! He is such a good writer and I can’t count how many times I have laughed out loud at some of his posts. What I also find interesting is how truthful he can be, sometimes painfully so.
It’s so awesome you linked to him. Great blog!
