The week ahead

brian patneaude quartet

The Brian Patneaude Quartet is at the Massry Center Thursday night.

Here are a few things to keep in mind, look ahead to, or take care of this week -- from the weather (spring stirring), Butch and Sundance, to Teddy Roosevelt, to jazz, to a certain white whale...

Weather

Here's the paraphrased forecast:

Monday: Sunny. Highs around 40.
Tuesday: Sunny. Warmer. Highs in the upper 40s.
Wednesday: Cloudy. A chance of rain and snow in the morning. Highs still in the upper 40s.
Thursday: Sunny. Highs in the low 50s.
Friday: Some chance of rain. Highs in the upper 50s.
Weekend: Sunny. 50s.

The official start of spring is next weekend. The crocuses will be blooming before you know it.

St. Patrick's Day

It's Thursday. Dress/drink/prepare accordingly.

Butch and Sundance

The Palace's classic movie series is showing Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid Monday night. If you haven't seen it, you should -- it's a great film. 7 pm - $5

Edmund Morris

Presidential biographer Edmund Morris will be speaking at the State Museum Tuesday night as part of the NYS Writers Institute visiting writers series. Morris' most recent book is the final volume in a triology about Theodore Roosevelt. 8 pm - free

Food

The Chefs Consortium, a professional chefs org focused on local food issues, is co-hosting a cocktail party at the 431 Delaware space in Albany Wednesday evening.
