holy crap, I am so glad all those boring lame people decided they hate Albany and moved somewhere else to live their miserable lives!
Albany is like a Hub, besides the in town stuff to do - theres a ton of stuff to do so close by, and such a wide variety from the track in Saratoga, to awesome road & XC riding, to concerts, to hiking, snowshoeing, skiing in the adirondacks, Catskills, Berkshires, Green Mtns...to water sports at Lake George, Saratoga Lake, Lazurne, Sacandaga Lake (if/when NYC gets the olympics they already plan to come up here for many events)...and Boston, NYC & Montreal are all close enough for day trips.
And if you can take the heat in the summer or the cold in the winter your just one big ass wussy.
