monday energy, but make it productive. if you're building something in burque, Mentoring Monday at Sandia Golf Club this afternoon is the kind of room where real connections happen. and if you need a reason to get through the week, Dion's just turned 48 years old and that feels like something worth celebrating (go grab a slice, you deserve it).
Mentoring Monday with Albuquerque Business First is happening today at Sandia Golf Club starting at 3pm. if you're building something in media, tech, or creative work in New Mexico, this is a room full of people who get it. via @vaultstudiosabq

the Skivvy Toss is back March 6th at Locker #505. if you've never been, it's one of those community events that just feels good (folding, sorting, getting clothes to people who need them). mark it down. via @nmicewolves

Staind is bringing the 25 Years of Break The Cycle tour to Isleta Amphitheater on October 14 with Seether, Hoobastank, and Hinder, and burque's early-2000s rock kids lost their minds. over 1,200 likes on the announcement (the nostalgia is REAL). via @isleta.amphitheater

Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks was all over feeds this weekend and for good reason. slot canyons, towering hoodoos, and only about an hour from burque. if you haven't made this day trip yet, what are you waiting for. just remember you need reservations, a parking pass, and entry stops after 1 PM. via @abqmom_
go make this monday count, burque. this city's got too much good stuff happening to sit it out.
