If you're a Burque newbie, don't be alarmed by bitter, naysaying locals who trumpet on and on about how little there is to do in this town you chose to set up shop in. Fact is, they're all flat-out wrong. As proof, we present our Weekly Alibi Annual Survival Calendar, highlighting the events and various goings on we think you might just be interested in checking out and/or participating in over the next 12 months.
If you're a long-time local, you're likely familiar with much of what's included in our mondo calendar, so consider our gift to you the fact that you don't have to go to the trouble of finding dates and other information for the events you're interested in—once again, we've done all the hard work for you.
All phone numbers listed are local except where otherwise noted (with (505) preceding them). Keep in mind that we don't paln or control most of this stuff, so all dates, times, locations, costs, venues, performers, schedules, etc. are subject to change. That's why we've included phone numbers and web/e-mail addresses wherever possible. We suggest you use them.
Without further rambling, here's one for the fridge!
