Carol of The Bells - The Polyphonic Spree
Goodbye Charles - Over the Rhine

I just discovered this great new on-line file delivery service called YouSendIt.com. All you need to do is sign up for this free service and you are able to send up to 2 GB of files via a web download instead of trying to e-mail large files that fill up in-boxes (or never make it through at all.) Very simple to use and you don’t need to use Fetch or any other type of software in order to upload your file. Just select, click and send. The recipient gets an e-mail notification and all they need to do is click to download to their desktop. Couldn’t be any easier. Check it out…

Sorry this update took so long… but just wanted to say thanks to the Valley Cats staff for making my Summer experience fun and entertaining (and yes, it was a bit of work too). They have a great group of talented professionals that put together each home game and do a super job at making it an enjoyable evening out for all. In fact, despite the ‘Cats having the worst record in the league on the field, they still broke their previous attendance record! My personal favorites were the “Bark in the Park” night when patrons could bring their dogs to the game and of course, the 2 consecutive games at the end of the season in which two different Valley Cats pitchers took no-hitters into the late innings. This was very exciting stuff. Also, it was alot of fun to see friends and family of local Troy & Schenectady ballplayers come out and cheer for their potential hometown “Big Leaguers” as they faced the Valley Cats while playing on opposing teams.
After spending alot of time at the park, I’d be happy to offer thoughts and marketing advice to anyone thinking of partnering with their promotions staff or purchasing any on-field (or in-program advertising). Just drop me a line. Next season they will be hosting the NY-Penn League All-Star Game, so I would not be surprised if the crowds will get even larger in 2008!
ps- and if there is ever any doubt that their staff doesn’t work for your business, I dare you to find another Assistant General Manager willing to walk on stilts or don an Elvis or Easter Bunny costume, just to keep their patrons entertained. Hats off to Vic Christopher, by far the “hardest working man” in Capital Region sports.
