I have reserved a table at La Boca for Quinerly, O. Felix Culpa, and me for Tuesday, February 4, at 12:30 pm. If you’d like to join us, please comment here.
I have the sense that our separate page for meetups isn’t working well for announcements. Or perhaps it’s just that there aren’t that many of us in New Mexico.
Anyhow, here’s another chance. Come meet Quinerly while she’s here!

There’s a separate page for meetups? Where? (serious question)
Cheryl Rofer
@GaryK: It’s in different places for different kinds of display – phones, desktops, tablets.
Look for a heading “Calling All Jackals” It should be under that and clickable.
Dorothy A. Winsor
Sounds like lovely company. Wish I could be there.
germy
@GaryK: It’s under “calling all jackals”

@GaryK: I have been planning on a post at some point this weekend, to let people know more about it.

@Cheryl Rofer:
Just as a reminder for everyone:
Everything that’s in the sidebar on computers is also in the sidebar on a tablet in LANDSCAPE mode. (I confess to not knowing whether that’s true for the tiniest of tablets, so maybe someone can enlighten me.)
On phones and on tablets in PORTRAIT mode, the “sidebar items” show up at the end of all the comments.
But some of the sidebar items also show up in the hamburger in portrait mode – and meetups is item #4 under the hamburger.
If anyone wants to see additional items under the hamburger, make your list and bring it to the Meetups & More thread later this weekend.

Could I get cheese, sauteed onions and mushrooms, and some A1, please?

So close, yet so far…it sounds really fun, though!
Not sure if you folks are interested or have the time, but right now is a great opportunity to take a walk over to the Roundhouse. We have such a unique and beautiful legislature building, and our electeds are pretty darn accessible. The lobbies are usually full of interesting and important information tables staffed by various organizations, and of course the art work alone is an outstanding reason to walk through.
A group of my fellow students and I went in 2018 as part of the NM Student Nurse Practitioner contingent on our designated day. Rode up from ABQ on the Roadrunner, walked all over town, went to the Roundhouse and had such a great experience. Got to speak to and thank all my Senators and House members in person. You can’t do that just anywhere–we’re such a cool state to live in.

I am always wanting to make one of these, but I have two small kids and teach at the UWC (north of LV), so making it an hour down the road is always tough. Middle of the day on a Wednesday is essentially a non-starter sad to say.
WaterGirl
@Omnes Omnibus: Going forward, I think all items in the hamburger should be referred to as “condiments”.
WaterGirl
@socratic_me: I have no sense of direction and I don’t know New Mexico at all, but there are a number of potential locations:
Valued commenter Quinerly will soon be on the road again, and she’d love to meet Juicers during her travels. Here’s her schedule, from one of the other meetup posts:
Might one of these locations be better for you? She also plans short trips to:
Omnes Omnibus
@WaterGirl: I am glad to have been of assistance.
ETA: I am also stopping at Five Guys on my way home from the gym.
WaterGirl
@Omnes Omnibus: Laughing. Are you planning to send me the bill?
Omnes Omnibus
@WaterGirl: No, I have this one. You can get the next.
Cheryl Rofer
@socratic_me: Maybe we can do a meetup in Las Vegas one of these days. I could combine it with a trip to Maxwell NWR.

Had hoped to attend even with a 5+ hour drive. However, the carpenter will be installing my library bookshelves on and around that date.
Hopefully next year, Quinerly!
P.S. I met Quinerly in St. Louis a couple years ago and she’s a delight. If you’re close by, make the effort.

Super busy work schedule ATM, but if Quinerly would like any advice about things to see and do, or places to stay/eat, up here, shoot me an email at gina at bigtalkcommunication dot com!
PersistentIllusion
@Cheryl Rofer: Broke down in Maxwell years ago. Took 3 days to get car fixed. Still triggered :(.
Any CO Juicers? I’m in COS and would travel to Denver, FoCo or Pueblo.
Quinerly
@pamelabrown53: glad to see you pipe in. I’m in SF until 2/27. If you feel like driving up from El Paso let me know. Would be cool to see you. Take care!
Quinerly
@nmgal: I’ll probably get over to Taos at some point. Spent a couple of weeks there in 2011 and have friends from St. Louis who have now bought a home on the mesa. I get back there at least every other trip out here. Hit the Adobe Room and a few of the galleries. Love the Millicent Rogers Museum.

Albuquerque? When?

WaterGirl
@jame: I sent email to Quinerly to let her know that you had asked about Albuquerque. So maybe watch this thread to see if she gets back to you?
jame
@WaterGirl: thanks!
Quinerly
@jame: I’m working on an Albuquerque day. There are two older shop ladies on the Plaza that I pop in and see every year. They work on Mon and Tues. Let me look at my calendar but would an early HH at High Noon work for you on 2/10 or 2/18? There’s also La Cumbre Brewing where I met dexwood and his lovely bride one year. I think he lives in that area. Don’t know your area so don’t know what’s convenient for you and your timing situation. Please feel free to get my email from watergirl. Hope we can make this work. Thanks for reaching out.
Miss Bianca
Have fun, all y’all! Sadly, I won’t be in Santa Fe till Feb. 15th.
Quinerly
@Miss Bianca: feel free to get my email from Cheryl is you want to connect. I have a wedding at Santo Domingo Pueblo on 2/15 that I’m excited about. My schedule is pretty clear after that date. Be cool to meet. Take care.
