ASE, Albuquerque Journal

I think that was about the same time the Cannons still had people going to their games ...

 

I've had great times in Albuquerque, and not just because of the Liquid Lounge ...

 

R.I.P. Jack's on Central Ave.
First scene in Rudolfo Anaya's "Alburquerque" was set at Jack's...

 

The only part of Albuquerque I got to see when I was there was Old Town. Most of the time was out at Sandia Resort. Spent an aft in Santa Fe, too.
But I loved it there.

 

Great gig, good paper, awesome town.

Jump on it. Trust me.

 

Marry me?

 

Actually interviewed with a Canadian ASE on my honeymoon 16 years ago -- and nearly missed my flight home as a result. He made it sound less troublesome than I'm sure it is, but you'll notice I never got hired.

That said, a buddy of mine I interned with at a television station was Canadian. He married an American, became a citizen, and has worked at stations from Spokane to Orlando.

Back to Albuquerque, great city -- one of the few positive things about my year in New Mexican exile. The Journal is a pretty good paper, with a nice reach across the state.

 

Anything up on this, people?

 

Wanna live in a sweet place? This is it.

 

Ah, the Liquid Lounge. Good times. Most of which I don't remember.

 

I know the sports editor at The Journal, and he's a good guy to work for. Albuquerque is fun city, paper is good. If being an ASE is a goal, this is a better solid option.

 

Salary scale was simply shocking on this one.
Would have loved to have jumped at this opportunity, but would not have been a pay raise, and this is from a small daily.
SE seemed like a great guy, too.
