Get Out: Bike Benefit, Skill Share Returns, Baroque at St. Alban's and More
Every week Albany Patch highlights five great events you won't want to miss. Get out there and enjoy!
Drumming with bike parts, drumming at the museum—with all this wonderful noise, you'll want to take some time to meditate. After you've contemplated your place in this world, you'll want to make yourself useful by learning a new skill with your neighbors.
