Another work day. I spent much of it in meetings.. We did g4et to eat some candy.. we’re deep n tradition here.. so we got soem ribbon candy.. soemthign that diane always had around christmas time.. it’s pretty weird tasing but fun to eat !
Around Becky’s parents george and doreen showed up .We’re splitting an air bnb which is really fin. we like hannging out with them. !
It was a work day for Becky. Max and Me.. so we all kinda hung low. I’m supportign soem very cool testing projects back hoe.. so spent time workign on that.
Diane and I did get a run in down to Baca street. to check out soem shops. Evrythign seemed to be closed on monday but ewe did .. get to see a little glass blowing.
towards e enign I helped diane make xmas cookies .. my joiber was to peel the candy wrappers.. for soem reason, many of the candies never got into the cookies 🙂
Becky arranged a real treat for us today .. She’d bought us all tickets to see the “Musical Pinata” Christmas pageant at the Teatro Paraguas. Becky and Max’s freind Jen he;ps run the theatre. the show was truly wonderful. It was a mix of kids, actorsacrtesses and musicioans. With music, poetry,. plays and dance. It was completely bilingual.. about 50/50 english spanish which was fun for me to test my rusty spanish. It was so fun and sweet !
I found out that you can watch the whole thing onlone.. its about an hour..
We left smiling and singing !
THen home to decorate Max and Becky’s tree complete with a Cluthulu Angel
We left home about 4AM… dropped the car which Jen offered to pick up later. Our flight out to Albuquerque was very smooth.. got lots done on the plane Max and Becky picked us up at ABQ and we headed to lunch at Frontier. It’s an Albuquerque landmark . Its a huge place with counter service with great southwest food. Its got a great vibe.
From there its about an hour back to Max and Becky’s. It was fun seeing all they’ve done on the house and yard..
One of the new additions is two new rabbits: Lestat and Claudia (after the characters in anne rice’s interview with a vampire),
Later in the day we went to an event at Max and Becky’s friends at Stark Raven makerspace. Max and Becky helped build a burning man piece there called the Fear Beast. It was one of the best pieces on the Playa last year. ( you can see soem pictures i took in this post) Sadly, the lead artist Tigre chose to take their own life shortly after the burn. It was both moving and cool to see the piece again and talk to some of the makers behind it . Here are soem pictures of Tigre and the Beast from last year.
Here are some pictures from tonight..
The space was crazy cool.. and so were the people in it
The lead fabricator Cassie is an amazing woman .. She also helped with the fab and maintenance of the Tree of Tenerife
