MIX is back and we’ve got business with 2017 that involves busting out the very best of our small but bustling high plains, brown berg.

Run, walk, ride or otherwise wrangle your way to Rowley Farmhouse Ales this coming Thursday to join us for some advanced Home EconoMIX.

With particular people pushing the planet toward preposterousness, making, marching, maneuvering, manufacturing, materializing, meeting, marketing, memorializing, mastering, multiplying, managing, mapping, mingling and, of course, MIXing LOCALLY matters more than ever.

We’ve got a manifesto to drop and master plans to muster some mad manifestation around and we need your mind, your muse, your imagination and your madness.

Awesome housing that’s centered around quality of life, efficiency, affordability and people’s real needs continues to be a conundrum in our community. That’s why we’ve partnered with Homewise this year, to work on climbing out of this hole of heterogenous housing and helping ourselves to some collaboratively conceived cohabitational concoctions.

DJ Sato will sink some sumptuous sound into the sack of sinew and soul you share your space with.

Rowley will not only be reeling out its full array of beers, but will tap some tasty house brews for absolutely banging prince of bupkis when you take the time to fill out our survey (https://www.mixsantafe.com/survey) either online or at the door.

And you know you wanna grab one of those locally crafted Goodonya Pale Ales or a Saison du Sarlacc if you’re more, you know, discerning.

Not only that, but the onsite Farmhouse kitchen will be cranking out complementary comida in the form of Crawfish Étouffée and New England Clam Chowder…served a la minute!

Plus, ingenious interactive activity, crazy custom rides and radical new reveals. Expect to find old friends, make new ones, and stumble upon some solution-oriented stimulation, if ya know we mean.We want you! … To make this a party that produces progress!

Nick Mendoza will be memorializing the mostest of the MIXers with a newfangled invention called “photo-graphy”
