chavez and the newfangled webcast thingie
by chantal
having ignored the earlier "blogger conference call" hosted a couple of weeks ago by senate candidate marty chavez, i decided to log on to his webcast tonight on ustream.tv. marjorie was there from m-pyre was there with the night's most interesting question about nafta.
i thought it was grassrootsy and all, but is it enough to counteract the blog smackdown?
here's the video and a transcript of the chatter.

one night only - german theatre group in abq
by kelly koepke
in what promises to be a little like road rules meets the theater scene, german theater abroad and fusion theatre company are proud to present the marauding and adventurous play, "start up" by roland schimmelpfennig, for one performance only on sunday, november 18 at 6 pm.
in "start up," an assorted crew of merry pranksters come up with what they believe is their million-euro idea: to sell german culture to americans - which is of course the exact same thing that gta is doing as it travels across the country presenting this fast-paced farce.
tickets are $20 general admission and $15 for seniors and students and are available online or by calling the box office, 766-9412.

marty chavez’s donkey con
by coco
“let me be clear -- i'm proud to be a democrat.”
(marty chavez on nm fbihop, nov. 1, 2007)
"i have every intention of endorsing pete domenici, and i'm going to catch a lot of heat for that.”
(marty chavez, albuq. journal, may 28, 2006)
by the weekend, events were breaking fast. tom udall is in. marty chavez is out of sorts -- reduced to wrapping sour grapes in wisecracks about toilet paper.

the saturday evening postcard: the franciscan hotel...built 1922, demolished about 1970
by johnny_mango
downtown--designed by trost & trost of el paso, the franciscan was considered to be the epitome of what is known as "pueblo revival" architecture.
the trosts were also the architects for the sunshine building, the rosenwald building, and the first national bank building (now the banque lofts). for my money, the franciscan was the highpoint of their work in albuquerque. the franciscan used to be on central near the masonic temple...that 'whitehouse' looking building across from robinson park downtown.

the fruits of my *ahem* labor
by spring cyrena griffin
i am often amazed by what grows in albuquerque. last week my neighbor called me to let me know a package of mine had been delivered to her. when i went over to get it she showed me the saffron stigmas that she was harvesting from her yard-so cool! then she made sure i got a jar of her red currant jelly before i left and when i asked where she got red currants she told me that she grows them. inspired by her example i went home and picked the prickly pears from my cactus and made jelly. then i picked the pomegranates from my tree and seeded them all, you can freeze the seeds and i did. the cactus and the pomegranate tree have survived admirably despite the shameful way that i neglect them; it's wild what survives here.

morning fix: our country for a dairy section

we suck at driving: motorists hit railroad crossing bar 15 times during past two months.
four unm profs try to explain new mexico.
much-needed grocery finally coming to downtown more yammering about the mother-loving arena. like listening to a child make excuses for not doing his school homework.
their 2007 season ended more than two months ago, but the isotopes keep winning awards. the latest is baseball america proclaiming orbit and the gang as tops in triple-a.
the blue-face anti-smoking ad campaign also is award-winning.

crazy cool accordion tip from a reader
by guest blogger
from w.s.
i've got a tip about a performance at the outpost this saturday by accordionist guy klucevsek.
for anyone that's musically adventurous, this is a rare chance to see a phenomenal musician performing some truly original music.
he is featured in the wonderful film accordion tribe: music travels, which will be shown in santa fe this thursday night (well worth the trip, see sfnm link below), and he will also be performing there on friday.

adelita: character counts
by guest blogger
how do you define the essence of a city? is it the climate, the cultural scene, the architecture? for me, the very essence of ‘burque can be best described by its cast of characters.
every town has them. i lived in san francisco in the early 90’s and there was no shortage of personalities there. there are the san francisco brown twins, and the bushman in fisherman’s wharf to name two. new york city’s times square has the naked cowboy.
