This Week's Alibi

Feature
Marisa Demarco roars into the fast lane of the city's drag racing community. Buckle your seat belt, and come along for the ride.
On the Dragway The first jail-based charter school in the country will open its doors in New Mexico. Outed CIA agent Valerie Plame Wilson talks with the Alibi about her new book and her move to New Mexico. Plus, how is the city handling a homicide-filled week? And do Albuquerque residents think their city is safe?

Lonely Holiday

The Old 97’s in New Orleans 7/19


The Old 97’s
I tend to associate The Old 97’s with New Orleans, mainly because my favorite bar, Molly’s at the Market, has “ Too Far to Care” on their jukebox, and I’ve subsequently found myself there at 4 a.m. listening to them over tumblers of Makers Mark. So last week when I learned the venerable alternative country quartet would be playing during my stint in town, some blocks down Decatur from Molly’s at the House of Blues, I was quite pleased. I convinced my little sister to accompany me to the show, and scared up tickets from the band’s congenial and accommodating press person. Saturday night rolled around and my sister ditched me to hang out at The Circle Bar with a guy, but was nice enough to give me a ride to the venue.

    The Alibi's Third Annual Scavenger Hunt!


    The 2007 Scavenger Hunt winners (Team Rainbow Chaser, donning zombie makeup) in front of a news chopper, worth 100 points in last year’s contest.
    In honor of our yearly Survival Guide (hitting stands Aug. 14), for the last two years we've asked readers to scour the city in a mad display of their survival skills, taking pictures of themselves with assigned objects and sending them in to yours truly. This year, we're doing it again! You hunt for objects, and we'll comb through the entries and tally the scores. The winner gets their choice photos and an interview in the paper, along with heaps of fabulous prizes (last year's winner received a package totaling more than $200). This year, that could be you!

    Registration for the hunt ends at
    3 p.m. tomorrow! Don’t miss out. Click here to find out more and sign up!
