There's a lot more to beer than meets the tongue, so let the foam-filled education process begin! Albuquerque's Dukes of Ale wants to stamp out ill-informed beer-loving. Plus, the various types of brew and the diary of a man who makes them. New technology allows the city to put boots on the cars of parking scofflaws. Go out on the town with a couple local pick-up artists. And the North Valley's train crossings go quiet.  Websclusive: Bigfoot and Biscardi in New Mexico Do Bigfoot really live in New Mexico? Find out in an extended version of this week's Radford Files.
Mimmo’s is a spot-on family restaurant for Italian food lovers with a lust for sauce. Plus, behold the hoppy goodness of Marble Brewery. Girls Rock! proves just that. And Kung Fu Panda—a seemingly rote “cute animal” parody of your standard chop-socky pic—comes damnably close to treating itself like a real movie with a tight script, good actors and a unique look. SPAMalot brings star-power on top of classic Monty Python one-liners and catapulted cows. The Cradle Project pays tribute to the 48 million children who've lost their parents to poverty and disease. And why The National Book Critics Circle Awards got it right.   Raw posts and updates from our writers with info too timely or uncategorizable for print. What, we said something stupid? Chime in, buddy.Webgame Wednesday:The Great Gatsby This has been around for a while, but with Baz Luhrmann's 3D version of The Great Gatsby doing gangbusters at the box office, it seems like a fine time to revisit the (faux) NES version of The Great Gatsby. This straight-faced, side-scrolling brawler take on F. Scott Fitzgerald's seminal Jazz Age novel is fun, fitting and proof positive that Luhrmann isn't the only guy around screwing with the classics. Add a Comment The Daily Word in shady dentistry, bear bile and riding a Ferris wheel for way too long New Mexico's at the top of the list! Of worst droughts in the country! And pumping water out of the ground just isn't working like it used to. "El Dentista," an unlicensed dentist in Santa Fe who performed his "services" out of a van, left a trail of mouth infections and unnecessarily removed teeth in his wake. The New Mexico Department of Health is offering free counseling, blood testing and referrals to his victims. But remember, it could be worse. Developers in Oklahoma are resistant to the idea of including tornado shelters in their homes because it costs too much money. Sad trombone. Clinton Shepherd of Chicago just finished riding a Ferris wheel for two days straight. "I was thrilled and honored to be able to have all the love and support I did," Shepherd said. And it turns out that increasing demand for bear bile (used in a nonsense "home-remedy") is really bad for bears. Sonic reductions of Shining, Dew Scented and George Strait Alibi alum Michael Henningsen and Mark Lopez, our beloved copy editor and staff writer, listened to new releases from Shining, Dew Scented and George Strait. Read their micro reviews in this week’s Sonic Reducer. Peep related A/V below.
