What a difference a week makes!

This week AOA was brought to you by arctic breezes, good packing snow, corruption charges, Aaron Sorkin re-runs, lots of hot chocolate and Mr. Snow Miser.

And also by the worlds coolest advertisers. Next time you're thinking about shopping, eating or pretty much doing anything in the Capital Region... check them out first -- not just because they're awesome (though, lets face it...), but also because they support your AOA habit. And AOA's bagel, pixel and -- you know -- shelter habit.

If there's something you want to let the crowd know about, it's easy to advertise with AOA. Here are the details.

Here are some of the businesses that made this week's AOA fix possible:

+ Capital Wine at the corner of State and Lark has wine tastings every Friday. What are you waiting for?

+The Santa Speedo Sprint, tomorrow at 2 pm on Lark Street. More details at its web site.

+Elissa Halloran Designs on Lark Street is showcasing the work of six talented local knitters this month -- from cool fingerless gloves, to funky, warm and cozy scarves. They're great for holiday gifts. And if you mention Elissa's AOA ad, you can save 10% on any one item through 1/15 (sale items excluded).

+Revolution Hall has great shows and gift certificates for the holidays.

+Try out the mulled wine at The Wine Bar and Bistro on Lark if you need to warm up. It's garnished with fresh orange slices and cinnamon sticks. Stop in on Thursday to wish them a happy 2nd birthday and get 25% off any bottle in the place.

+Central Ave Art Supply just opened its new store, Pigment, in Troy. Both have lots of great gift ideas for artists and everyday discounts on paint and canvas! 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 -- the new production of My Fair Lady is getting great reviews.

+ Get some great cheeses for your holiday parties at Honest Weight Food Co-op.

+ Warm up by the fire at The Midtown Tap and Tea Room.
