ALIVE!!!


This blurry, camera-phone picture is the only evidence (outside of my own fevered brain) of the most bizarre movie-screening I've ever had the pleasure of attending. Last Sunday, my dear pal and future room-mate Barbara & I climbed 45 minutes thru canyons, gorges, agave & cacti to a spot high up in the mountains of El Paso. Overlooking the vast sprawl of El Paso, Juarez & New Mexico was a movie screen fastened to a lone power-pole. Now, which film could possibly have urged us & 450 other Texans out of their comfortable homes and thru dangerous (and beautiful) trails? Why, of course...


I swear to you... never has that movie been funnier or wine out of a glass jar tasted better than it did high on that mountainside.
