I just hope Berry will end this whole "Q" business. I know, I know, SUCH a small issue compared to everything going on in the city....but sometimes it's the small things that can make a difference :)

I knew being chubb-a-riffic had a higher purpose! Little did I know I was just improving my health with every creme brulee that crossed my path. wait, that seems a little off....

Profile Information

Where I Live:: somewhere between the Zoo, the Country Club, Downtown, and Barelas...

About Me:: A silly little San Francisco girl who lived in Phoenix for FIVE YEARS, and relocated to Albuquerque in September 2007. I up and moved myself from my childhood, the streets I knew, and all my friends in the pursuit of graduate school, cheaper living, and life experience. I'm finally tackling that great big mountain called graduate school - and am in my 3rd semester at the School of Public Administration at the University of New Mexico. I have been blessed to have kept the good friends from the bay, found a bunch that I thought I lost, and have made so many more on my way.

Professionally, I'm a nonprofit fundraising, marketing, and events specialist. My passion is to find the root of the cause and figure out how to sell it to as many constituencies as possible. Fundraising is fundamentally marketing, and I enjoy turning a mission into a great package for the community to buy into.

Personally, I live and love in the world of Rockabilly, Burlesque, Art, Performance, classic cars, coffee, with a little SCA thrown in there for fun!

Favorite Thing(s) About Albuquerque:: so far: trees, changes in weather, people, air quality, bunnies, roadrunners, and toads at the Rio Grande Pool

Relationship Status:: In a Relationship

My Website:: http://www.myspace.com/ririsyncyr

What I'm Listening To:: a whole lot of gypsy jazz: Ingrid Lucia, Squirrel Nut Zippers, Madeleine Peyroux, etc.

Welcome to Albuquerque! How's the move treating you?

As you look around the site, here are some links that might help get you started:

At 3:08pm on January 21, 2008, Amanda Redmond-Neal said…: riri, i am so glad that you genuinely enjoy your work at the museum. it was not such a pleasant environment when i was there (i worked in outreach, which was fun in itself). hopefully it will only get better when the permanent home finally opens.

At 3:10pm on January 21, 2008, Amanda Redmond-Neal said…: ps. i do want to try the BLT soup recipe you mentioned.

At 9:36pm on January 23, 2008, Adelita said…: Welcome to ABQ Collectors! I love stuff!

At 9:58pm on January 23, 2008, Adelita said…: RiRi, I forgot to thank you for starting the fabulous new craftacular group! I love it. And I work next door to you at the NM Museum of Natural History! We should meet up for lunch sometime.

At 2:05pm on January 24, 2008, vashti said…: Thanks for starting the craft group, and giving it such a fantabulous name. I'm hoping perhaps to get some of us together one of these days to share ideas, techniques, just play, that sort of thing. I'm slowly but surely working on getting a website up and running to show my work, thanks for asking, I'll let you know. I lived in SF for 13 years, maybe we crossed paths there, huh ...

At 10:01am on January 30, 2008, kroybal said…: I was wondering when a crafting group would start up! My daily go-to crafting blog is http://blog.craftzine.com/, so there's a possible link to add to the group page.

I look forward to getting active with other crafters in the area!

At 3:28pm on March 5, 2008, Adelita said…: Ha! Our Chocolate Fantasy gala is this Saturday! I understand the craziness!!!

My friends and I went to brunch at La Provence and it was great! http://www.laprovencenobhill.com/menu

At 8:42pm on March 25, 2008, Adelita said…: It was so great to finally meet you in person! I think the craftacular show is going to be fun! I'll have to take you to Duran's for lunch soon, my treat!
