The Capital Region is a lot for some people to truly get a good handle on. It might not be for everyone and it's important for us forewarn impending relocators...
While you were gettin' your drink on and partying with friends listening to the musical stylings of the one and only Florida-Georgia Line, I wasn't singing along with you this time. I wasn't backstage or out by the GNA booth, I wasn't in a dressing room or up close to the stage taking pictures. I instead was out of breath and sweating my butt off!
