Drawing: Literary Libations pub crawl
A famous author once referred to a flock of Karner Blue butterflies as "blue snowflakes."
Drawing's closed! Winner's been emailed!
The Albany Public Library Foundation has a literary history pub crawl -- Literary Libations -- coming up in June. And we have two tickets to give away. Maybe to you.
To enter the drawing, please answer this question in the comments:
What would be the title of your Capital Region novel?
This could be pretty much anything. We had questions like this in the past and people have had some creative answers, so we're looking forward to some fun titles. We'll draw one winner at random -- that person gets the pair of tickets.
And what of this literary history pub crawl? It's Saturday, June 17 starting at 4:30 pm. It's being led by Maeve McEneny. Blurbage:
A team of guides with a tome of tales will lead you and your friends through Albany's historic Center Square. Well admire the buildings, visit some pubs, but more importantly, your guides will tell you the stories behind Albany's surprising literary history. Albany was the home to many literary legends, such as our own William Kennedy and Gregory Maguire. But what other literary luminaries wandered these streets? Did Herman Melville find inspiration for Moby Dick in his own backyard? Whats the connection between Vladimir Nabokov and the Albany Pine Bush? This and more will be revealed on the tour!
Tickets for the tour are $25 and available online. The tour is also being offered Wednesday, June 14. The tickets from this drawing for the June 17 tour.
Important: All comments must be submitted by noon on Friday, June 2, 2017 to be entered in the drawing. You must answer the question to be part of the drawing. (Normal commenting guidelines apply.) One entry per person, please. You must enter a valid email address (that you check regularly) with your comment. The winner will be notified via email by 5 pm on Friday and must respond by 5 pm on the following Monday.

Say Something!
We'd really like you to take part in the conversation here at All Over Albany. But we do have a few rules here. Don't worry, they're easy. The first: be kind. The second: treat everyone else with the same respect you'd like to see in return. Cool? Great, post away. Comments are moderated so it might take a little while for your comment to show up. Thanks for being patient.

It's called Eminent Domain, and yes, the plaza is involved.
