Comment by Victor Velazquez on May 27, 2008 at 5:58pm: Hello,
Yes I do look like Guillermo Richardson! I would like to say hi to everyone from this beautiful city. I have recently been coming to ABQ because of my job and I was amazed at the party scene, nitelife and restaurants in the area. What really struck me was that I found a drink that I thought was only in LA....that is sotol. I got it at Kelly´s Liquor. Are there more Kelly´s in ABQ! I was happy to see Hacienda and my favorite, Don Cuco! Right on ABQ! This place knows its alcohol

Comment by Jacqui Lewnes on May 15, 2008 at 8:29am: What is funny is that we have more Mavens than Singles on DCF.

Comment by Isa on May 14, 2008 at 9:18pm: Hi. I just joined the group. Why am I single? Hmmmm.... Well, I can think of lots of reasons. The biggest one is that I haven't met anyone who I want to be vulnerable and real with. That takes time and energy, both I currently don't have a lot of. I'm also a bit shy and avoidant...lol. I date here and there, but eventually I always feel a bit confined. I am currently exploring whether this is committment phobia or a matter of just not meeting the "right" person. But I'm sure if you were to ask any of my ex's, they'd hand y'all a list as to why I am single ; )

Comment by simpletons_mayor on May 14, 2008 at 5:45am: Good on ya Benny. Now what indeed...

Comment by Donny Ozmund on May 13, 2008 at 1:25am: Single is great: It's a hit in baseball... not so much in cash.

Comment by Randy Burge on May 12, 2008 at 11:32pm: Amen, Benny. From flat to multi-dimensional. Can't say that I'm unabashedly groovy, but for those without the flashy charm, spectating with those who bring their Verve always makes for an artful evening.
