Stop all that horsin’ around you are up to and grab your tent, plenty of provisions and feria; load that lot into su troca. Head east through Tijeras canyon, exiting on State Highway 14 headed north. Keep on driving toward Santa until you hit Madrid and please do not run over any ancient miners or young hippies during the last five miles of your journey out to the other side of the Sandia Mountains. I am going to tell you why in a moment. Take a deep breath, take a toke first, because this is all about Madstock. That’s a multi-pronged cultural event meant to celebrate the artistic and cultural diversity of our neighbor to the Northeast. It’s all happening at the Mine Shaft Tavern (2846 Sate Highway N. 14, Madrid, N.M.) on Saturday, Sept. 22 and Sunday, Sept. 23. The bands playing are top notch and include Alibi favoritos Felix Y Los Gatos and the legendary and mysterious Family Lotus on Friday. Saturday rocks Betsy and the Hollyhocks plus main man Eric McFadden (what!). In addition to all the jams, there will also be craft vendors, local microbrews, healthy foods and a costume contest. So yeah, get your arse to Madrid, mateys. If you still don’t believe ol’ Carnak over here, visit, holdmyticket.com, nubes.
