It's fall in New Mexico, and the time is ripe for a meetup! Let's look a couple weekends out, unless people want to escape the Balloon Fiesta madness in ABQ and want to do something sooner. [more inside]

Friends, it looks like we have not had a single meetup in New Mexico for the calendar year of 2015. Let's put an end to this dry spell! Plans? None. Ideas? Plenty! Round 1 set, plans laid out for rounds 2 and 3! [more inside]

The Gaslamp Killer, master of the mad beats, is playing in Albuquerque's Sister (The Bar) on Saturday, Oct. 18 with Astronautica and The 1960 Sci-Fi Era. I will be there. Who's in for the show, and/or food before? (Also, is anyone going to be at the Southwest Bacon Fest?)

My wife left me and took the kid ... on vacation! Ha! Anyway, I'm baching it, and I decided instead of just eating all the pancakes I can manage (a la Almanzo Wilder in the Little House on the Prairie books), I should see what ruckus I could start with others. EDIT: this is now a thread for a Saturday night dinner meetup at Rasoi (110 Yale Blvd SE, ABQ), with the Sunday brunch having its own thread. [more inside]
