Stove want more? Go to www.alibi.com

Read the fine print to find who you really want to see. go to www.alibi.com or check out listings for the casinos for the better publicized events. Remember there is a lot more to the paper than the calendar. If you have a youtube video leave the info in my comment section. Support your local biz and musicians. If you feel the need for a quieter scene..gee gosh we got some of the best MUSEUEMS in the west or along the Rio Grande. Weather permitting, the Alb ZOO would be the family event for the weekend. Those critters could use a few visitors to make fun of. Wouldn’t want them to get too bored, now would ya?

Curious for a scoop on our LT GOvenor? Check the paper. ALSO, why is it necessary that 1 in 100 people are in jail or prison? Something is wrong with this picture.
Crime doesn’t pay that good does it?

Well I’ll be back this weekend with more upcoming terrific events. Or other gossip. Now if most of the people in prison are minorities then the percentage there is even higher than 1 in 100. That’s really scary. I wonder what NM stats are??? Ideas and comments?
