I first moved up to Albany, NY in 2004 and I had a very strange attraction to the town of Woodstock NY about 60 miles south. Which is strange because I'm not a dead head, wasn't into dead heading but I did share alot of beliefs with them such as the environment and health foods, blah blah blah.

I joined the Woodstock Poetry Society and would go down there once a month to recharge my batteries. It actually an artist colony that has been there for about 200 years. Lots of positive energy there and I bring back local artist stuff for gifts.

Hope that helps, its really helped me up here compared to California.
