Fusion logo.jpg

Drawing's closed!

Ric Orlando, Yono Purnomo, and a host of other notable Capital Region chefs will be cooking on October 12th at Fusion -- a benefit to help raise The Albany Barn. The event, at the Washington Park Lakehouse, includes fusion-inspired food pairings from the chefs, plus pocket performances, live art installations, and more. Tickets for this event are going fast, but you can still get them for as low as $60.

AOA has a pair of VIP tickets to give away. A $150 value, the tickets come with a pair of limited-edition Fusion cocktail glasses.

To enter our drawing for the tickets, just answer the question below in the comment section of this post:

What two things in the Capital Region would you like to fuse together?

Give us your favorite mash up. Maybe it's food and beer, countryside and city, your favorite buildings, Saratoga with the ocean -- whatever.

Important: All comments must be submitted by 5 pm on Thursday, October 4 to be entered in the drawing. You must answer the question to be part of the drawing. One entry per person, please. You must enter a valid email address (that you check regularly -- seriously, if you win, we want to give you the tickets) with your comment.

The shops of Stuyvesant Plaza melded into a walkable, beautiful, waterfront in downtown Albany where people could tie up boats and bikes and wander into bookstores and eateries.

i would fuse together Honest weight, Shoprite and Trader Joe's in one convenient Washington park location!

3 things: car share (e.g., Zipcar or similar) + bike share (a la Montreal or DC) + Center Square/downtown. So much sense ... so little chance.

albany and wegmans. enough said.

I would fuse local pumpkin picking and farm stands with local art galleries/craft fairs.

The Albany Distilling Company and my house

Albany's Bike Path with Colonie Bike path - no gaps.

What exactly does Albany Barn do other than raise money for itself? Seriously, can anybody tell me?
