albany

The capital city of the state of New York. Used to have a big DDR scene at Crossgates Mall, but the scene has pretty much died since the end of summer 2004, with the occasional beginner level player. The actual city is bigger than you would think. With a lot of people walking around in both Crossgates Mall and the actual city (Crossgates Mall is actually situated in Guilderland, a suburb about 1.5 miles from the inner city). Julian's, a club in downtown, is a good place to have a party, dance, eat food, and get some good ole beer. While being a small city, it still has a lot to do and a good punk/emo/hardcore scene.
Albany, also known as "EAST BUMFUCK" to a bunch of ignorant people from NYC is possibly the best city in Upstate.

Albatross Day

The first Saturday of April is Albatross Day.

What is this day, you ask? Well, the Albatross, a beautiful bird that brings luck to those it chooses to follow, is a main symbol in the poem "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" by Samuel Taylor Coleridge.

Iron Maiden also has a song about the poem if you are interested.

In the poem, the mariner kills the albatross that follows his ship. By choosing to kill the bird, the mariner and his crew are cursed until the day that they die, doomed to have bad luck FOREVER. The curse is a psychological and physical burden that cannot be escaped!!!!!

Ultimately, the mariner had the chance to be lucky for the rest of his life, but he fucked it up. On the first Saturday of every April, YOU have the chance to create your own luck, to find your own albatross.

"Albatross" can also be used to replace the word "luck".
Hey, are you going to the Albatross Day?
FUCK YEAH!

What an albatross day this is!

albany dutch oven

Upstate new York version of the classic "dutch oven". In the Albany scenario the victim while sleeping is left under the covers with actual shit. This does require the perpetrator to shot in bed but its well worth it in the end.
Tanya got so mad at me when I gave her the "Albany dutch oven". She rolled in it and then literally punched me in the face. But I'll do it again.
