i went to el paso in may of 2006 for the society of southwest archivists annual meeting. i drank a lot with courtney, evan and mat, which ended up being the highlight of my time in el paso. this photo really sums up my feelings about el paso.
the hotel had a tiffany stained glass window in the bar, which was neat, but was overall unexciting. we went to juarez for a reception (that, by the way, had amazing botanas, including one made with a corn fungus. not really sure how the dish was made with the corn fungus, but it was delish.), which was fun until we headed home and had to wait in a line for several hours. when i went through the border guard thingy, the agent asked me if i had anything to declare, and while i said "no" what i thought was "i declare that i never want to return to juarez."
courtney and i drove out to el paso, which was great fun. we listened to lots of music, including the scissor sisters and the pharcyde. on the way back, we spent the afternoon in marfa, texas and the night in ft. davis, texas. photos ensue.
