Yawn.

This week AOA comes to you thanks to tweeting parakeets, lost pigs, dropping temperatures and hibernating bears. OK, not so much the bears. But we're thinking that maybe we should take a cue from them.

It was also made possible by awesome advertisers. Stop in and check them out sometime. And make sure to tell them where you heard about them.

Got something you want to let the AOA crowd know about? It's easy. Here's how.

This week your AOA fix was made possible by:

+ The Albany All Stars have a bout this Saturday night at 7 at the Washington Avenue Armory.

+Jent productions, presenting Who's Bad: The Ultimate Michael Jackson Tribute Band, Saturday, February 6th at Northern Lights.

+ The Wine Bar and Bistro on Lark. Warm up with some lobster bisque and a glass of wine. Wine after work happy hours every day -- $5 for house wines and $3 pints of beer.

+ Capital Rep's new production of Harold Pinter's "Betrayal" continues this weekend.

+ Bilinski's chicken sausages. Look for chicken chili and chicken meatloaf soon.

+ The Honest Weight Food Co-op. Check out the Gustav's gourmet cheeses. Get chocolate dipped strawberries February 12th through the 14th.

+ The Midtown Tap and Tea Room on New Scotland Ave in Albany. Wait out the cold by their fireplace with a really nice glass of wine and something yummy. We're particularly fond of the chick peas and sausage.
