V.19 No.14 | April 8 - 14, 2010 Feature Archive  The Best of Albuquerque, 2010Best of Burque XVIWelcome to Best of Burque, the Alibi’s user-generated guide to Albuquerque! If you’re an old hand at this issue, you’ve probably already skipped ahead to Best Pet Store, or Best Art Gallery, or Best Anything We Forgot (which is magnificent this year). But if you’re new to BoB, please allow us to make a formal introduction.
 Life in BurquePolitics, education, sports, charities, blogs, newscasters, public parks .. the whole civic shebang.
 Eats & Drinks(Restaurants are not included here. We do a mega-issue for them each Fall.)Snack on growers' markets, catering and the best beer in town. For the best dishes and restaurants, look for Best of Burque Restaurants in the fall.
 Best Anything We ForgotDon't worry, we didn't forget the restaurant categories. The Alibi has a whole issue for that—you can vote for Best of Burque Restaurants in the fall. In the meantime, here are the notes you sent us about the categories we stupidly left out. (These are not official categories, and the entities listed are not official winners or titleholders. No voting determined this list. These are simply reader write-ins ... probably from our moms, because they’re so very proud of us.)It's not official. But it's fun.

Where's your favorite post-play hangout?
If we're not hangin’ out at The Filling Station after the show—definitely the favorite—we like to head to the upstairs bar at Slate Street Café. Great wine and portobello french fries! Hard to beat.

What makes Winning Coffee Co. what it is?
The people. Those behind the counter and those in front of it. It's a special place for people. I worked at Winning for five years and it was such a great place to work. The owners were so good to me and really had an ethic that was about making a great place to spend your life. The business came after that. Then when the old owners wanted to sell and offered it to us [at q-Staff theatre], I had no idea what it would mean to be the owner, but I just tried to keep it the same good-feeling place to live and work. That was seven years ago and I can honestly say that 80 percent of the time I really love the staff and the customers. I keep a rolled up newspaper in my office for the 20 percent.

How did you come by your love of music?
I grew up listening to music through the influence of my older cousins, parents and grandparents. There was always music playing. Many of my early memories include the music of the time.
What qualities are embodied in your favorite kind of live show?
