Albuquerque, New Mexico

We debated whether the drive up to Albuquerque from El Paso was worth the gas money, it would be unusual to have a good turnout on a Sunday night in an unfamiliar place, but we trucked up there none the less and hoped for the best. Along the way, we watched a beautiful sunset. Sunsets in the desert are unbeatable.

After about four hours on the road we arrived at a small club filled with hipsters watching primetime cartoons. Later, we played in a near empty room adjacent to the bar. Back in the bar quite a few people, mostly regulars, gathered and enjoyed themselves completely oblivious to the fact that a band was playing 30 feet away. It was not a bad show, it was actually a good sounding room and was fun to play in, but it was a practice, not a show. These things happen, no one gets bent out of shape, and we move on. That said it is hard not to ask why there were no flyers posted, in fact virtually no promotion at all, even the regulars in the bar were unaware of the show. Nice work.

We saw little else of Albuquerque, it is one of those places we breezed through, but it is always great to see something new and different, even if only for a short while.
