+ Sebastien sent along some concert video from LarkFest.

+ Paul took some great pictures at the Adirondack Balloon Festival.

+ The early word: EMPAC is "a technological pleasure dome for the mind and senses."

+ Jess told us about a local gym where people flip giant tires and drag chains to build strength.

+ We scanned through the student-submitted reviews of local colleges on Unigo.

+ Amy went fall shopping for the guys.

+ Apparently Delmar has a wrong side of the tracks.

+ TQL reported that CDTA is probably going to raise fares next spring.

+ Jess gave us the scoop on the Troy Bike Rescue.

+ We met Peter Caschera, the guy who opened a Vespa dealership in Schenectady this past summer.

+ New York is for neurotics.

+ The "new face of metal" is from Albany.

+ Recently on Craigslist: in search of a guy will pick apples, foot rubs, and driving up the Northway with your top down (and bottom up).

+ Eat this: the dessert pizza at Aperitivo.
