Be here now!

Sage advice from a license plate my daughter and I saw when we first arrived in Santa Fe. We ran with it as it’s a fine theme for Santa Fe .The Jean Cocteau Cinema is owned by GOT author George R.R. Martin. You can purchase his books in the lobby and enjoying Beauty and the Beast or whatever art film they are showing, including a season premiere showing of Game of Thrones in the thick of the series. Mr Martin also had a hand in seeding the House of Eternal Return. Meow Wolf, a visitor favorite, is also a great place to catch live music, especially on Halloween eve. Buy-your ticket early for any event there as it’s strange and wonderful and everyone will also want to be in on the fun.
Tailgate picnic at the Santa Fe Opera house, prior to Figaro, or Lyle Lovett I once saw a table with linens and champagne. Figure out before you go how to ring the stage during intermission, with the local elite. I wont tell you much about the events that pull 10,000 plus folks in to town for artwork, markets and the giant burning man, but not to missed is dancing to live music on the Plaza rubbing elbows with the locals enjoying the summer reveries. It’s as good as private soak at Ten Thousand Waves in the snow with buildings lined with luminaries. Much charm to be had here, so do- be here now.
