Your Albuquerque Thunderbirds, NM’s Own NBA D-League team is in search of the next generation of Storm Chasers:
“Calling all talented female dancers (18+) of New Mexico…The Storm Chasers Professional Dance Team will be holding auditions on Saturday, August 7th!” (In Colin Farrell’s hotel room…I keed, I keed)
For the hottest workout in town you don’t need to look any further than the schedule of the Q Spot’s resident DJ supremo – DJ Quico De Castro spins all the beats fit to Salsa, Merengue, Bachata and Cha cha to…
From Salsa Wednesdays at the Library Bar & Grille to the 405 Lounge on Saturday nights Quico’s got you covered.
Though the San Miguel county commish & his posse are holding Ma Huckelberry back from creating resort style lodging on his Pecos Ranch property pending a showdown at the not-okay corral (a.k.a. court) later this month, fund raising is in the cards.
You can Cartwright-up for the day or the 1/2 day by donating $125 – $500 to the Santa Fe Film Festival. Your tax deductible donation opens the gates of this modern day Ponderosa to you where like Hoss and the gang you can enjoy a real homestead experience while helping the local film making community.
The more you know New Mexico – This showcase of our land and the enchantment therein…priceless. Now let ma dogooding Huckleberry make his property as prosperous as possible! We’re looking like burros in assless chaps bucking a homeboy who does so much for his adopted home state.
And p.s. this story is going global as the ACLU is getting involved to show us how to treat a brother – global asses, just what NM needs…
The Walt Disney Company is quietly dotting the state with their mouse ears as the entertainment GIANT’s long reach includes Marvel, ABC and The Disney Channel, all of which are sowing New Mexico roots.
Thor is bound to dominate the big screen next spring, the Q spot is the backdrop for network TV’s Scoundrels starting in June, and the purported next High School Musical, Lemonade Mouth is getting set to employ and roll in New Mexico.
Even ESPN regional television resides in the Mouse House. ESPN happens to operate the New Mexico Bowl – our very own college bowl game, set to air on the national stage ESPN will provide to millions of viewers on December 18 this year.
And as we ~reported here, the Bowl’s title sponsorship is still up for grabs…
If it’s not quite in your budget to buy your own bowl don’t fret, but be sure to dust off your monogrammed mouse ears and put on your perma-smile ’cause NM is poised to join the billion dollar club!
You have a chance to catch a free ride from Coyote 102.5. Listen to nab a key, it may just rev-up your brand new Harley Davidson. Click here to register with “The Pack” to get a leg-up with inside deets on the contest.
And as we previewed here, you can listen for your Sindicator with a weekly entertaiNMent wrap-up in the “Q Spot” with Erica Viking, mornings 6-10 M-F. It’s damn early – but, I hear if you can’t get-up for Erica then you probably can’t get up.
The MacGruber villain appears to be swimming upstream against the San Miguel County Commission who control the zoning rights over the actor’s Pecos River Ranch.
According to the grapevine old wounds run deep as the Albuquerque Journal reports that the commission as recently as Tuesday “tabled the actor’s plans” citing issue with ancient (2003) remarks disparaging the state, remarks which Kilmer maintains were misquoted.
Yowza! Smack talkers beware, and on the flip-side chillax commish – what’s good for tourism is good for NM, yo!
According to @wendy92 our not so beloved New Mexico Bowl is sans corporate sponsorship which in this advertising-media driven world spells d-e-a-t-h.
I mean what is the Staples Center without Staples? Why it’s just Center. Or the defunct Journal Pavilion, now the defacto Hard Rock Casino Albuquerque presents The Pavilion – A Live Nation Venue (say that six times fast).
Selling point – The 2009 match-up between Wyoming and Fresno State aired on ESPN and pulled in 2.7 million viewers.
So, who ever is so inclined to spend their marketing dollars on next year’s game can be the proud owners of the 2010, fifth annual, yet to be sponsorship titled, New Mexico Bowl.
NM’s Own Resident Fish Wrangler Extraordinaire TJ Trout
The awesomeness sure to come from the latest Coen Brother’s/New Mexico Film Industry teaming, True Grit will be filming on location at Monestary Lake through Friday.
Fisherpersons wishing to lay line are encouraged to “take advantage of other area trout fishing opportunities, including the Pecos River, which is now clear of ice below Terrero.” – NM Game & Fish
No game Sunday night, so we’re clear to watch T-Bone Burnett and New Mexico’s Own Ryan Bingham win the Oscar for the theme song to the New Mexico film Crazy Heart.
UPDATE: Kendra Wilkinson is “reportedly” in hysterics over the Colts loss, even halting production of her show today. Editor’s note: Players on the winning team get a $73,000 bonus. Players on the losing team receive a $38,000 bonus – Hello, Reality? Perspective calling. Says, “Look at me!”
NM’s Own Hank Baskett alters the course of the Bowl in this moment when the former UNM Lobo had a tragic Colts encounter with the Saints onside kick.
Hank recently starred in the E! television network reality show “Kendra” with his wife, former Girls Next Door Star Kendra Wilkinson. The second season of the show is currently in production.
On the less humbled side of the field, fellow reality tv star Kim Kardashian (ashamed I know who she is and how to spell her name) places a staged, for the cameras impassioned kiss on her publicity stunt beau, New Orleans Saints running back Reggie Bush after the win.
NM’s own, world renowned welterweight Holly Holm is a helluva lot more than just a pretty face. This highly skilled, intensively trained athlete will hit the ring and her big-mouthed opponent Melissa Hernandez TONIGHT at Isleta Casino & Resort.

See what the T-Birds have been up to in the community on Facebook.
Here’s a glimpse of the notorious Suge Night taking a chill in the Q last week. Many who came in contact with the embattled record label giant wondered what he was doing in town – perhaps he was here to consult with Lobo Athletics.
Along with the brighter lights and bigger personalities that come with this NM city rapidly shooting into super stardom, a huge fear of entertainment industry opponents et mucho mas is a possible jump in crime and violence.
Who needs the bloods and the crips when you’re a Lobo? At least that’s a possible impression some Lobo community leaders have been leaving across the globe. With the proverbial black eye, fat lip and foul plays coming out of the UNM athletics department as of late, Marion is the least of our worries.
Via Facebook YOUR Albuquerque Thunderbirds report:
“The Storm Chasers, Trey and T-Birds’ staff will be making appearances at the following events this weekend: Saturday – Walk like MADD and UBS Blood Drive; Sunday – Run for the House, Day of the Tread, Walk a Mile in Her Shoes and Hinkle Family Fall Festival; Let us know your weekend plans!”
Wright is vying for the only open position on the team against fellow rookie Stoney Woodson. Wright was forced to sit-out several practices last week due to a hyperextended knee, but made a strong showing on Sunday playing almost the entire second half of the game.
The L.A. Dodgers Outfielder is an Isotope for at least one game, exiled to New Mexico as part of his MLB suspension for a few days. Come on people, NM is no place for punishment or penalties…look at our DWI ~enforcement records.
But hopefully it will be hella good for the Duke City economy when national news outlets and fans flock to follow Manny Moobie to Albuquerque. Heck I may go out to the park just to get the faintest whiff of Fenway off of ‘em.
Cheers Manny! Welcome to New Mexico fans and reporters! Keep the buzz coming. Buzz, buzz, buzz into our restaurants and hotels and we’ll try not to make ourselves look like thug, idiots. Play good host ABQ.
Ahhhhhhhhhh, so close! Nuevo York beats New Mexico’s own Terminator Salvation at the box office over the holiday weekend, but both are dwarfed by all-time Memorial Day winner, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End at $139.8 million, again N.M. comes in second with Geriatric Hunk Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull at $126 million. source
N.M.’s next turn in the National spotlight is with riderless Belmont Stakes contender Mine That Bird. Show some pride Neuvo Mexicanos not mañana – ¡A hora!
