I don't think that i can make it to shred on friday but i will be able to make it up there by friday night to party. Saturday sounds like a good plan what is happening from 2 to 6? why can't we shred then? Is that when matt has to do his thing? If so we could just shred with out matt. It won't be as good but I think we can still do it. Thats prime shred time.

Well, it looks like the clouds have cleared and my test schedule will allow me to make this jam. I do have a few projects due, so I might be a little pre-occupied with them.

WILL DIGGES, you're awesome. Please jump up and down for that very reason,

I will start looking into weather to find out where we will be playing if it is raining or cold.

We will most likely be playing in Lincoln Park or Washington Park if its nice outside.

As far as Inside spots go, I have enough room in my house for like 1 circle maybe. We can also go to Hudson Valley Community College and find an indoor spot there.

Will post updates this week.

Shred Spots/Times

Outdoor spot:


Washington Park in Albany.

There are tons of tennis courts and shaded area's, benches, a bridge over a little lake thing, which makes for a great filming spot. There are stores in all directions that can sell you anything you might need.

-It's right next to Madison ave, if you need a guide, I'll be your eyes and ears.

Indoor spot:

Indoor spot is still to be decided, but it will most likely be at Hudson Valley Community College which is in Troy, NY. We could play in the Gymnasium complex, or a gazebo outside or any area that we find to take over.

If you have any questions,
My Cell phone is: 518-817-1959

My address is:

11 Putnam St.
Albany, NY 12202
first floor, (door on the left)


Ok, so for all of those who need a Hotel here is a close and cheap place to stay.


Regency Inn & Suites‎


416 Southern Blvd
Albany, NY 12209
(518) 462-6555

All rooms will be 54.00$ a night and after taxes thats 69.00$ a night.

I think that everyone who needs to get in a hotel should just get 1 room and have everyone crash in it, that way it will be super cheap. That makes it 120.00$ for the weekend, split amongst however many you can fit in there. The hotel is 1.8 miles from my house which is very convenient.

Staying at my house so far:
Matt Cross
Jay Boychuck
Chris Dean + 1
Sara and Jade
Drew
Tommy + 1 bro + 2 friends

At this point I'm pretty much crashed out at my place: but if you really cant get a room, your very welcome to just stay here and tough it out. 5 of the people on the list above will have a couch, lazy boy chair, mattress, or loveseat. The rest will need to grab some floor space or a yoga mat.

Things you might need/want:
Towels
pillows/blankets
shoes
footbag's
game faces
bee- sauce

So that is my uber write up, I can't wait to have you all here to shred and have a good time. If you have any questions, just Call or Text or Private Message me.

Peace everyone! 8)

Okay, so it's just me and Drew driving up to this jam. Sorry for the late notice on my attendance, but I had to be completely sure whether I can go to Albany this weekend because of personal/religious reasons.

Ben Cooke had to bail because he has to house a friend of his that will be arriving on this very same weekend here in NYC.

Will, if there is any available floor space at your place, I will be glad to take it. I plan on bringing a sleeping bag.

P.S. - I have a cat, so if anyone's allergic, be prepared.

P.S.S - I will probably be working til 3 or 4 P.M tomorrow. If you plan on being here before me, I can have my brother let you in the house to chill.

Hey actually Will, myself and co. will get a room. My +1 is getting a ride to Albany on saturday and dropped off with me so she can come back with me to Geneseo, and the person driving her is going to stay saturday night too. Also, Paul said he might come along but I don't know yet. So with all those additional people I'm just going to find a nearby motel.

But I think I am going to drive out after work and get there by myself LATE on friday night. Id like to sleep on your floor then.

WOW this has come up fast.

My cellphone broke, which is about the only thing making me worried about a 6 hour drive alone, as no Canadian people are willing to come with me. I'm going to see if I can get one now, which is my lunch break.

If I do get one, then I'd be leaving at 4:30 PM + 6 hours = 10:30 PM arrival, assuming I don't stop and the border isn't a frenzy of death.

Oh, I imagine I'm going to do alot of homework over the weekend too...Do you have wireless internet Will? What should I do for parking?

**edit** Got a phone. No excuse now.

Yes I do have wireless Jay, no problem.

There's also a lot of local coffee shops that have wireless if you'd be more comfortable there.

See you Friday night Jay!
