Kingsman and Domingoh bring a late-night electronic set to Lunas Kava Root, a kava bar on the corridor that runs quieter and more intentional than your average club stop. The 3 AM UTC start time listed is a placeholder, so confirm the actual door time through the ticket link before you plan your night around...
Triple-A baseball on a Friday night in late August, when the air finally starts to think about cooling down and the Sandia Mountains go pink behind the outfield. Isotopes Park sits right on Central, which means you can walk from a dozen restaurants or bars before first pitch without touching a highway. Tickets through Ticketmaster,...
Two improv groups share the stage at The Box for an hour of unscripted comedy, the kind where the audience suggestions actually matter and occasionally derail everything in the best way. The Box is a small black-box theater, which means sightlines are good from anywhere and the performers are close enough that you'll feel every...
Gaia's Kava Root is running a no-pressure clothing swap open to everyone, with sizes ranging from baby through adult, plus free hygiene products and gift cards for local restaurants, groceries, and gas. Drop off donations any day during the week leading up to the event and you get 20 percent off your kava order, which...
Long-form improv at The Box, starting just after 10 p.m. local time and wrapping up before midnight. The Box keeps its room small and its crowd close, which means the performers are feeding off you whether you want them to or not, so sit accordingly. Tickets are through Hold My Ticket, so grab them ahead...
A late-night hip-hop set built around 90s and 2000s classics, running from midnight to 4 AM at one of the stranger and more charming spots on Central, a kava bar that happens to have the bass for it. Gaia's draws a crowd that's genuinely there for the music rather than the drink minimum, which changes...
The Isotopes host Las Vegas in a Pacific Coast League matchup at one of the better mid-level ballparks in the country, a place where the sight lines are genuinely good from almost every seat. The mountain view beyond the outfield wall is the kind of thing you forget to mention to out-of-towners and then watch...
Tori Amos brings her piano-centered performance to Popejoy Hall, one of the few rooms in Albuquerque with acoustics that actually reward that kind of intimacy. Popejoy is a proper concert hall, assigned seating, no bar rail to lean on, which suits her catalog better than a club would anyway. Tickets through Ticketmaster, and this one...
The Schmoobies are a teen improv troupe performing under the In The Box Annex program, which is The Box's youth development arm rather than its main stage. Shows like this tend to run short and loose, which is either charming or chaotic depending on the night, and usually both. If you have a kid in...
Two improv groups sharing a stage at The Box means the room feeds on itself, and on a good night that feedback loop produces something no scripted set can replicate. The Box is a small, focused room where the audience is close enough to the performers that your reaction becomes part of the show, so...
