Santa Fe/ABQ meetup!

New Mexico Meetup?

Vacation time is coming up, and I'm going to be in New Mexico - Santa Fe and Albuquerque. Anyone interested in meeting up? I'll be in Santa Fe October 11-14/15 and then ABQ until I leave the morning of the 18th.

I'm trying to fit a meetup in every time I have to travel somewhere new, so come on out and get some drinks!

I'd love to see Santa Fe again. Let me check the calendar.

I'm in ABQ, and would be glad to meet up for a beer.

I'm in Espanola, and could probably come down to SF or ABQ for a meetup.

Red or green chile?

Awesome! So, uh... where do we go? I haven't really done my research, to be honest. Maybe we can do a blowout on that Friday so I can fly home with a hangover.

Welp, looks like I can't get the time off. :( Have fun, y'all!

backseatpilot - I'd recommend O'Neill's, Two Fools Tavern, or, if you're not hungry, Marble Brewery. I'd go to any of those.

A fourth option could be Kelly's -- thanks to their large size, they're kind of the standard meetup spot. But the food, beer and service there is nothing to fly home with a hangover about.

I am all about brewpubs. How does the Marble Brewery on the night of the 17th strike anyone?

The Marble Brewery sounds good to me.

M.C. Lo-Carb!, I take it the sandwiches there should be avoided? Or were you referring to the sparse menu?

I think I'll had this to the meetup calendar for visibility. For now, let's say Marble Brewery on the 17th at... 7-8ish.

A reminder for everyone - Friday, 7-8 at the Marble Brewery. Hope to see everyone there!

Hello? Anyone here?

Backseatpilot and I are at the end of the bar - look for two guys in red and blue shirts.

Now the 3 of us are at a table indoors, I'd be a girl, and I'm wearing a purple jacket/shirt thing.

Thanks for coming out, folks! I'll get the photos off my camera on the flight home. It was a good end to a good vacation.

Yay, photos. Nice to meet both of you, too (I just wish it'd been somewhere quieter so we didn't keep thinking you were from Austin).
