the launchpad

welcome to the launchpad - a club in downtown albuquerque, nm. i took this picture earlier tonite because it (the rocket) reminded me of my friend jill in asheville, nc. she likes rockets. was unaware at the time that i would be back to see a burlesque show?? but back i am. only $5 to get in. not bad. or maybe it is. if it correlates to the quality of the performers in the show. thought it might be interesting to see what kind of crowd comes to these sorts of things. and i can finally check it off of my list of things i plan to do while in albuquerque, nm -

• get $5 from a stranger... check!!
• giggle with some schoolgirls... check!!
  
• get hit on by a large mexican man... check!!
  
• see a burlesque show... check!!
  
• get frisked by a cop (preferably female)
  
• eat a magical green chile burrito
  
• meet a mexican girl and fall in love
  
• ride a donkey named liberace into the desert. or at least a block in the bike lane on the interstate

so many more things i need to accomplish here, but who has time? who?
