Luke, I Am Your Son
Image by Kendall TolbertWe might get in trouble for saying so, but the Miami bass subgenre of hip-hop has some of the hottest dang beats out there. We'll never forget the time Daily Lobo staffer Juliette Torrez played “Me So Horny” in the college newsroom back in 1989. You just can't unhear stuff like that. Flash forward 30 years and other bassy bands from deep in the panhandle are still rocking it. Check out a saucy second generation of that Southern flavor on Friday, Dec. 13 at 8pm when Hush Ultra NightLife hosts a '90s Grand Opening Party featuring the somewhat still notorious 69 Boyz. That's right, you OG cabrones, the folks responsible for the 1994 platinum single “Tootsie Roll” are in town and getting down. Join them at this 21-plus show for only a nominal fee. Telephone or text 269-3301 for more details. (August March)

Serious Fun
Image via PixabayPlaytime is over. It's time to get serious about toys at Exhibit/208. Starting this Friday, Dec. 13, and running through Jan. 4, see your childhood playthings in a new light at Toy Show, a group exhibition celebrating the influence and inspiration that toys have on art. Bring the whole family to this all-ages experience to show them that toys aren't just for play. (Okay. They're mostly just for play, but they can be art, too!) Get a head start on the fun by attending the opening reception on Friday from 5 to 8pm. Admission is free. (Joshua Lee)

Happy Enough
Image courtesy of Broadway WorldWaitress is the Broadway musical version of an indelibly deep dish, darkly delightful American tale originally told by Adrienne Shelly, an American actor, director and screenwriter. Shelly died almost 15 years ago and this project is clearly one of her brightest legacies. The music for this version of the narrative was written by Grammy Award nominee Sara Bareilles, an accomplished singer-songwriter in her own right. Experience this memorable story of life and love in small town America when the touring show hits Popejoy Hall on the UNM campus as part of the esteemed venue's Popejoy Presents series, beginning on Thursday, Dec. 12 and Friday, Dec. 13 at 7:30pm and continues over the weekend with performances on Saturday, Dec. 14 at 2pm and 8pm as well as on Sunday, Dec. 15 at 1pm and 6:30pm. Tickets for this sweetly sung story range in price from $48 to $93 and it's probably not something you want to take children to, not because of the subject matter, but because we couldn't sit through the Music Man until we were 17 years old.

Edgy
City on the EdgeCity on the Edge is a breezy, smart podcast looking at the stories from Albuquerque history that have often been overlooked. Each episode takes a deep dive into a topic like the 1955 crash of TWA flight 260, Sandia Man or the 1918 quarantine. Worthwhile listening that will spur your curiosity about things you didn’t even know about in the city where you live. It’s free and available wherever you get your podcasts. (Clarke Condé)

2020 Bosque Chile FestivalLooking for a little chile? The 2020 Bosque Chile Festival, a celebration of food, art, and culture on the Rio Grande, is happening Saturday, August 15 and Sunday, August 16, with times waiting to be officially announced. But due to COVID-19 and the State of New Mexico public health order, the festival will be presented virtually! There will still be entertainment, art activities, a virtual artisan market, chile-chef demonstrations, educational workshops and more. This free, all-ages event is meant to give those stuck at home a chance to see what the state has to offer. If you are a high-quality chile-inspired and authentic New Mexican business with an e-commerce website and want to be a vendor, there is still time. Applications are being accepted until Wednesday, August 5. For more information email bosquechilefestival@bernco.gov.
