Every single year our web hits quadruple during the week of Valentines Day. The Cause? Millions of people go to Google and search for… wait for it… wait for it… ‘valentines’. Now, I totally expect that behavior from people this time of year - but what baffles the fuck out of me is that they all seem to locate our site in the search results (which is under “LovingYou.com” but above “BillyBear4Kids.com”) and click on the site before moving on to ACTUAL sites that have flowers, bunnies, and other cute shit on them.

Maybe we should sell something anti-valentines day this time next year.

Anyways, we’ve got some cool shit coming up this weekend - if you’ve got any money left after Thursday, that is…

Vitamin X will be here on Thursday, February 14th (hey, almost the weekend) - Straight Edge, Hardcore Punks from the Netherlands, with special guests Spread ‘Em / Mud Lark - and on Friday night The Americana Music Club presents Albany’s own Knotworking with Anders Parker / Ashley Pond / Tracy Morrow and the Magi Chippie.

What to do until then? Go post some snarky remarks on the Roger Clemens message board or something…

So its almost February, who’s counting? You are, you say? Well, get a life then. Haven’t you got some North Hampton, Mass shows to go to anyways? Maybe you can even write a pretentious review. have fun with that.

So here we go kiddies, we’ve got show comments and an ACTUAL working show photo gallery. So send us some pics and we’ll get them up for real this time (no_nudity@valentinesalbany.com).
