Sponsor Shout-Out: Graceland Tattoo at Hullabaloo!

Are you confused because the awesome Pop’s Tattoo Emporium in Kingston sponsored Hullabaloo last year? Well, here’s the deal: Miranda and Cookie from Pop’s have gone to work with Adam Lauricella and his fantastic artists at Graceland Tattoo in Wappingers Falls. With the combined talent of all these bad-a** artists now under one roof, the tattooed Hudson Valley rejoices!

The artists at Graceland (Adam, Evan, Joe, and now Cookie too; Miranda starts in January) all have their own specialties and styles (including traditional/old school, black and grey, and intricate, realistic pieces), and all are happy to help you design a sweet custom piece. They’ve also got thousands of flash designs and a dedicated staff member (Allison) for all your piercing needs. Adam’s wife Keely runs a unique gift emporium (Sunnyside Specialty Shop) inside the tattoo studio, where she sells items handmade by herself and other local artists, and offers parties and workshops.

Not only is the work of all the artists at Adam’s shop seriously kick-butt, the studio itself is gorgeous too—eclectically decorated, inviting, and comfortable…which is totally a reflection of the artists’ personalities and professionalism. They’re committed to safety, quality, cleanliness and client satisfaction—at Graceland, the client always comes first.  

So stop in and get some fresh ink (tell them Hullabaloo sent you)—they even take walk-ins (see website for details)! Not ready to commit to art on your body? Put it on your wall! Adam will be selling his artwork at Hullabaloo too! Check out his art at www.adamlauricella.com

Thanks for sponsoring Hullabaloo, Graceland! We can’t wait to Hullabaloo with you!

Sponsor Shout-Out: Cheers to Kingston Wine Co.!

A toast, to Hullabaloo sponsor Kingston Wine Co.!

Have you checked out their beautiful shop at 65 Broadway yet? The shelves are stocked with 

classic, traditionally-made wines, carefully hand-selected by owners Theresa and Michael. As 

their website explains, they tend to choose wines “made using time-honored, historically rich 

techniques, achieving an authentic expression of place, history, and culture.” 

The couple, who fell in love-at-first-sight with the Kingston area and made a quick decision to 

move upstate, are nothing if not hospitable—always ready to suggest the perfect wine for any 

occasion, offer a taste, and hear about the latest happenings. They are more-than-gracious 

hosts of private tastings and gatherings in their gorgeous shop, and the storefront serves as 

a meeting place for Sunday Hikes on the Kingston Greenline (stick around to wet your whistle 

afterwards). 

While we love the shop’s aesthetic, and Michael and Theresa’s warmth, wine knowledge, and 

philosophy as sommeliers, their Wine Share program might just be our favorite thing...a wine 

CSA?!? We’ll drink to that...

Thanks for your support, Kingston Wine Co.—here’s to you!

Sponsor Shout-Out: Hullabaloo and Green Mountain Too!

We like to think of Hullabaloo as a “colorful” event but green might just be our favorite shade…That’s why we’re so glad to have the support of returning sponsor Green Mountain Energy Company!

Did you know that you have the right to choose your supply of electricity? Yup, you can ditch “traditional” electricity produced from fossil fuels and choose from cleaner, renewable sources like wind and solar by becoming part of the Green Mountain family.

Green Mountain Energy was founded to change the way power is made, and their mission is to make green energy a mainstream choice. As the longest-serving renewable energy retailer in the country, they work toward this mission by partnering with local utility companies who want to offer their customers renewable energy options. Since we want to be Hullabalooing on this planet for years to come, we totally dig this idea.

Want to learn more? Check out www.greenmountainenergy.com – or better yet, take a break from your boogying and stop by their table in the sponsor area at Hullabaloo to ask about their new products. You can even sign up to switch on the spot!

Thanks for your support, Green Mountain! We CAN’T WAIT to Hullabaloo with you!
