HumANist society of New Mexico
EVENTS
In addition to our twice-monthly discussion meetings and Humanist Speaker Series, we have numerous special interest groups and social gatherings.
You have a head full of ideas, and we want to hear them. Join us for an open discussion that's exciting, respectful and wide-ranging.
Join the Unholy Rollers the third Wednesday of every month at Silva Lanes on Eubank. Just show up at the front desk and look human. A bowling angel will find you and direct you to Bowling Salvation! Approximate cost: $10-13. No skill required. IT'S BOWLING!
Join us at Quarter Celtic Brewpub to discuss everyday practical philosophy with other humanists over a beer or two (or your fav beverage).
Every 3rd Wensday of each month.
Bounce ideas off each other about life, your own or in general. Maybe throw in a bit of psychology, and of course humor too, as we enjoy sharing each other's points of view. Potentially enlightening! And you are engaging; you are participating in life.
Come with a topic you'd like to talk about or just join the conversation. Religion and politics are okay if pertinent, objective and limited. An academic perspective, if you have one, is always welcome. We'll grab a table either inside or on the patio. Order a meal if you like. They have good Irish food.
You can just show up or, if possible, tell me you're coming using Meetup. To do so go to Meetup calendar. Then find the 3rd Wensday and tap on the event. Then tap Join and go from there. You'll have to log in.

HSNM Events Calendar
Codenames is a fun 2-team word game that's a bit like Password but much more interesting and enjoyable for both the game itself as well as socializing with teammates.
Join us for dinner and a show on Friday, March 20! Albuquerque Little Theatre is presenting "Anything Goes" which they describe as ".... a madcap musical adventure on the high seas! With music and lyrics by Cole Porter, Anything Goes is a tap-dancing, laugh-out-loud romp filled with mistaken identities, romantic entanglements, and show-stopping numbers. Set aboard a luxurious ocean liner, this classic musical features timeless hits like “I Get a Kick Out of You” and “You’re the Top.” A delightful voyage of comedy, charm, and Broadway magic!"
The show starts at 7:30 pm. Seating is reserved, so to ensure we can sit together, please go to the theater's website and purchase your tickets in row C, or row D if C is full, or possibly in row E as soon as possible.
Join us for dinner at 6:00 pm at Vinaigrette, a casual nearby restaurant at 1720 Central, SW, within walking distance of the theater. They have excellent salads, soups, sandwiches and more at reasonable prices with service quick enough to allow us time to get to the theater.
I hope you will come to both parts of the evening, but if you choose to go only to the theater, please take your seats and we'll meet you there! Please register from this page or contact me at 505-350-2436 or huftrot@gmail.com. It will be a jolly good spring evening together! -- Charlene

We will combine two trails out in the Ojito into one double your pleasure, double your fun hiking day!
The Ojito Wilderness was designated in 2005 and protects 11,000 acres of BLM land about a hour northwest of Albuquerque. A landscape of ridges, portreros and mesas dissected by clay-rich arroyos, it has formations dating to more than 150 million years ago as well as younger rocks. From our hikes, there are striking views into the western Jemez and Rio Puerco drainage, including Cabezon.
HIKING ADVENTURE: The Seismosaurus Trail is a 2-1/2 mile out and back along an old road that was used by paleontologists to unearth fossils of a long-necked, long tailed sauropod relative of the diplodicus from 150-million years ago. We may find the place where the fossils were found. We will definitely find great views of the Arroyo Bernalillito and its drainage plus some great petroglyph panels.
After our return to the trailhead, we drive a mile further on the road and hike the Hoodoo Trail. As the name implies, this takes us to a group of a dozen or so of these picturesque features, then continues around Mesa Bernalillito for more views and some smaller hoodoos. Distance is about 3-1/2 miles on this out-and-back route.
Total distance for both hikes around 6 miles with a total gain of around 400 feet.
While there will be hiking dispersion due to different hiking speeds, we will stop now and then to allow catch-up, snacking, and hydration.
MEETING PLACE: Target at Paseo del Norte and I-25. Look for my red Nissan Frontier pickup in the NW part of the lot.
CARPOOL: The distance is about 80 miles. Please be prepared to pay your driver $12. In dry conditions, the road is good for most any vehicle, however, a few rough spots make this best for high-clearance.
NOTE: Hiking involves risks. You need to be sufficiently fit and properly equipped with poles, hiking boots, sun-protective clothing, water, nutrition and sunscreen. You are responsible for your own safety.
CANCEL: The promise of rain or adverse weather and road conditions will cancel this event.
IMPORTANT: If you sign up, please remember that the leader has you on a list and you have a responsibility to keep him informed of your plans so as not to cause delays and confusion on the day of the hike if you don’t join us at the meeting place. This can be done by text or call to his phone or comments on the Meetup posting.
