  1. Disagree – This list is not fully representative of everything going on in the Capital Region in May. #moreeventsneeded

  2. Can I just say what a comfort to uncover somebody that genuinely understands what they’re discussing on the net. You actually know how to bring an issue to light and make it important. More and more people really need to read this and understand this side of the story. I was surprised that you aren’t more popular because you most certainly have the gift.
