-Hi, I'd like to take a moment and thank everybody who has supported us and helped us move from being a group of broke artists with a vagabond artshow to a group of broke artists with a venue!-

Yes, Josh Jones, Alistar McCray, Mia Jumbo, and Evan Moore have pulled together to provide a space for art, expression, music, theatre, and belligerent expressions of highly-adultered love!

"I wanted to provide an alternative art venue to New Mexico artists while finally giving my nomadic art show a permanent home," said Josh Jones, Black Market Goods founder. "Here we can put down some roots and provide a solid place for people to find us."

We just got our Guaranteed Ride Home cards from ABQ Ride - any one else on here use it?

Any tips, drawbacks, etc.

Comment by Randall Berner on June 30, 2008 at 2:43pm: Took the Rapid Ride downtown for the first time last week. One buck - what a deal!! I did it to avoid the 100 glorious days of summer sponsered by APD. On the way back, there was a major check point that the bus just blew by!

Comment by Tony on March 27, 2008 at 2:27pm: Umm, right my email is tpedroncelli@cabq.gov

Comment by Tony on March 27, 2008 at 2:15pm: Hello Everybody. My name's Tony and I work in Mayor Chavez's Office; one of the hats I wear is coordinating the vetting process for the city's boards and commissions appointments.

Transit has two advisory boards, one for transit issues in general and another for transit users who are mobility impaired.

If you think you might be interested in serving Abq in this way please send me an email and we can discuss more details. Thanks for using AbqRIDE!
