Yeah that's where i was this weekend. Had some fun, rode some rides, saw some tigers, ate some food, but most importantly heard some great music. These bands were really amazing. Here are a few to check out from the great state of New Mexico.

http://www.myspace.com/thedirtynovels -The Dirty Novels, I bought their CD.

http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=2539316 -Zagadka They were ok.

http://www.myspace.com/hitbyabus -Hit By a Bus They were ok for a hard group

http://www.benmartinez.com/ -The Ben Martinez Proect A Jazz quartet very nice

http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=15042655 -Ryan McGarvey This guy was an amazing blues player but doesn't have music on his myspace. :mad: I wrote a message telling him to fix that.

http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=6303644 -Old Man Shattered was very very good vocally. Thier drummer couldn't show so they played everything acoustic and it was still awesome.

All in all I was very surprised at the depth of music talent here in my state. I had a great time and picked an awesome weekend to show up. How many of you guys go to a fair or something similar? I think they are good fun.

I recently went to the Michigan State Fair, Alice Cooper played but I didn't go that day. I did however ride a mechanical bull, that was awesome.

I did see something very disturbing... I'm not even sure if it's legal... it said world's smallest woman, showed a little lady in the palm of a hand, so I'm like this should be funny, and I went in, and it was a real person, they put a midget in a box, and had people pay a dollar to see her, I don't know, but that seems a little inhumane....
If there's one thing I've learned, it's that life is one crushing defeat after another until you just wish Flanders was dead.

Rock stars ... is there anything they don't know?

I saw a midget at the Eagles game on Sunday. And theres one that lives in the next town over that rides his bike around sellin drugs. Cool guy though, he waves at everyone when you drive by, I'm nice and wave back.
