Suwannee Hulaween is one of the best music festivals in the US. It's an eclectic mix of jam and funk bands with EDM producers from a range of subgenres. I'd been to this once before, in 2021, and while I couldn't make it back in 2022, I did have the opportunity in 2023.

While the first half of my Albuquerque trip was all about bouncing around on buses and visiting big museums, the second half would involve mostly driving to other attractions, and finally riding that RailRunner train to Santa Fe.

By the time Labor Day weekend of 2023 rolled around, I had lived in New Mexico for over two and a half years, but somehow never got around to visiting the state's biggest city. I'd flown out of and into the airport there a few times, and I had a doctor's appointment in the city once, but I'd never actually looked around at anything or spent the night there. But then in the summer of 2023 I found out that Pantera, one of the '90s' most legendary metal bands whose surviving members had just reunited and were doing a long worldwide reunion tour, would be in Albuquerque on August 31. For me that was the night before a four-day weekend, so finally I was going to see what Albuquerque had to offer.

After the grueling three festivals in a row in June--Beyond Wonderland at the Gorge, Electric Forest, and June Jam--I had to take a long break from anything fun. I spent the next few weekends mostly alone at home, staying away from anything remotely stimulating. I even considered selling back the Bass Canyon box seat tickets I'd bought earlier, but thankfully I didn't, because I really enjoyed this one.
