You’re engaged! Salud! We know that harmony is all-important to a
marriage, and no small thing when it comes to planning a wedding.
Simultaneously, everything must come together on one special day.
Arranging a wedding can be exciting, enlightening and … overwhelmingly
exhausting and daunting.
So, do you pick up that darling little wedding planner and start
from scratch, or do you put your faith into a seasoned wedding planner
for ease and guidance? The choice is yours. The goal: to create an
unforgettable experience, one that is meaningful, heartfelt and
stress-free. Yes, yes, it is possible to overcome all obstacles and have
true bliss.

The three pieces of advice that I have received the most throughout my
wedding planning have been: “Something will always go wrong, just go
with it,” “Always be the one to make the final decisions” and, “Remember
that it’s your day, nobody else’s.”

“I don’t know if I could realistically take another bite,” I thought to myself as I took another bite of my Papa Burger at The Grill.
There’s just something comforting and irresistible about a freshly
grilled, hand-portioned patty that is too big for its own bun. It tastes
like home, like something my dad would cook on the backyard grill, but
this outdoor grill is inside a restaurant.

When Jennifer McCallister’s friends asked her a few years back
why she wasn’t competing in the snowboarding circuit, she had to ask
herself the same question. Now she’s a national competitor.

 Grammy-winning, Austin-based ensemble builds reputation as ‘one of the sickest live bands ever’
By Shavone Otero
Trumpet, rhythm percussion, jounce snare, beat drum and guitarra thrum
thrum, brassy trombone to baritone saxophone. And congas! Play that
funky Latin soul and cumbiaaa, ay!
Get ready to move because Grupo Fantasma knows how to bring the fiesta. Don’t believe it? Ask none other than Prince, who has performed with Grupo Fantasma at his own Las Vegas venue, the 3121 Club, and often includes the band at his after-party jam sessions.

 516 Arts returns to its roots with new exhibit featuring wide array of artists from all corners of New Mexico
By Chloë Winegar-Garrett
New Mexico is a land rich with traditional and
contemporary art, ancient methods and experimental creative procedures,
urban and rural living, all without one single definition of how all of
this ties together. It is this melting pot of aesthetics and ideas that
has distinquished New Mexico within the art world for centuries,
spanning across many diverse cultures and time periods. Artists living
here have a chance to breathe pure air, be entranced by natural
landscapes and escape large, crowded cities.

 Post-punk anti-heroes The Replacements the subject of Gorman Bechard’s foray into documentary filmmaking
“The first time I ever saw (The Replacements),
which was the first time I ever heard them, was in ‘83; they opened for
R.E.M. at a small club here in New Haven (Conn.). I thought they were
the worst band I had ever seen in my life.”
— Filmmaker Gormand Bechard

The costs of taxis and DWIs in Albuquerque are abundantly higher than anyone would wish, but the owners of The Party Trolley
have created a fun solution — a safe, cheap and social way to transport
party-goers to their favorite bars, clubs and restaurants.

It’s hard say what makes edgy, pop punk The Melismatics so powerful.
Maybe it’s the infectious vocal melodies, or the subtle, simple
synthesizers. It could be the driving, danceable force behind every song
on 2008’s The Acid Test. The truth is, it’s not an individual
factor that makes the Minneapolis quartet stand out — it’s the sum of
all of its parts that gives The Melismatics their unique, tight-knit
style.

 It was someone named José Argüelles who first
described 2012 as the time we would take what he called the “leap beyond
technology.” In his 1987 book The Mayan Factor, he told us that the
13th baktun (144,000 days) of the Mayan long-count calendar would be
ending on Dec. 21 of 2012. Thus he started an obsession with that date.
Over the past 25 years, predictions of both
doomsday and spontaneous enlightenment have flooded New Age literature
and bled into mainstream thought. Though in all of that time, I’ve
hardly ever heard a 2012 narrative I could relate to. Almost everyone
knows that 2012 is an important year in the Mayan calendar, but hardly
anyone can tell you what it “means” without drifting into speculation.

She’s been called everything from a heterosexual female David Sedaris to
the 21st century incarnation of the late Gilda Radner, and compared to
Bob Newhart and Lily Tomlin, but Lauren Weedman is building her
own impressive career, thank you — a blend of writing and acting in
theater, television and film, all laced with a sharp comic sense.
