It’s that time again. Love and all her related allergens are in the air. Unicorns mate in the streets.

Yes, it’s springtime in Albuquerque. Gather, bosom buddies, on Friday, April 22, for a dance party at the Launchpad. There will be frosty treats from Ecco Gelato, organic deli from Make My Lunch and donuts from Donut Mart.

Tie-on those homemade unicorn horns, for the photo booth returns! Photo Booth Rentals of New Mexico provides the service free to you. And we’d be remiss if we didn’t mention Georgia at Balloon Express (109 5th Street SW) who will fill our lives with rainbows and flowers.

But the real point of this thing is to float to you, through the marshmallow clouds between us, the sparkly sounds of Monster Paws, Then Eats Them and The Glass Menageries.

Plus, our very own music editor, DJ Cassyle, will spin high-glucose tracks between sets.

Ahhh.
