The AOA staff prepares for the holiday season.

This week AOA was brought to you by excessive amounts of turkey, stuffing, cranberries, pie and an overwhelming desire to nap.

It was also brought to you by a bunch of great advertisers to whom we are very, VERY thankful. Advertising on AOA is easy and affordable. Here's how you do it.

This week your Capital Region information fix came from the businesses below. They've got some really good stuff going on, so stop by and check them out when you have a chance. And tell them AOA sent you.

+Elissa Halloran Designs on Lark Street. Mention her AOA ad and save 10% on any one item through 1/15 (sale items excluded).

+Revolution Hall gift certificates are available now for the music lovers on your list.

+The Wine Bar and Bistro on Lark has a great happy hour. $5 for house wines and $3 pints of beer. Check out the wine list and menu on their new website.

+Central Ave Art Supply just opened their new store, Pigment, in Troy. Save 40% on art supplies and custom framing. Just print the coupon on their website.

+Bilinski's chicken sausages make a great stuffing for holiday dinners. Find recipes here.

+ Capital Repertory Theater just opened its new production of My Fair Lady.

+ Get some great cheeses for your holiday parties at Honest Weight Food Coop.

+ There's still time to book a holiday cocktail party at The Midtown Tap and Tea Room.

+The Albany All Stars Roller Derby's "Pants Off Dance Off" is only a week away! Friday December 4th at The Lark Tavern. $5. As far as we know, pants are actually required.
