From the Troy blog:

Friday, our Neighborhood Newsroom initiative takes us to Flavour Café & Lounge, 228 4th St., Troy, and Troy Night Out!

This marks our first “night” outing. As requested byblogger and local treasure Kevin Marshall and others, I’m venturing out at a time when — at least for these last few months — my day has typically ended. (My husband and I have an 8-month-old at home, and I learned the “sleep when she sleeps” lesson the hard way). This means I’m going to be hitting up Charlie Staats’ coffee selections — likely either the Jamaican Me Crazy or the cookie flavor coffee whose name escapes me (both are terrific). It’s also Troy Night Out, which means we’re hoping folks who are otherwise out-and-about will wander by.

Troy Night Out starts at 5pm. Walk downtown, see what’s available, then stop by Flavour between 7pm and 9pm and give us a piece of your mind. Bring your ideas for stories or thoughts about coverage with you.

Also, we’re hoping to have a live stream set up for the event, which will be available on the Times Union website and will also be posted on this here blog.

Folks from the TU want to hear from YOU! Come join us. Should be a good time.

    Been a while since I’ve seen you! Me and Steve will stop by later :)

    I want to stop by just for the Happy Fun Ball reference in this post alone!

  3. Amy says:

    “Happy Fun Ball contains a liquid core, which, if exposed due to rupture, should not be touched, inhaled, or looked at.”

    My brother and I still quote this, randomly, much to the confusion of people around us. (The taunting quote is our favorite.)

  4. “Ingredients of Happy Fun Ball include an unknown glowing substance that fell to Earth, presumably from outer space.”

  5. OMG- I freakin’ love the disclaimer! :)

  6. If I were there, I would stop by. That coffee sounds delicious. Have fun!
