I’m headed to El Paso for the first time next week. Any suggestions for things to do?
My office mate is from there. I'll ask her tomorrow.
You could go to Jurez and get drunk and buy cheap Mexican crap.
Or if you have 2 grand to spare, go to Rocketbuster and get some kick-ass boots made.
I'm from El Paso, and my advice is this: Don't stay too long. Trust me. But while you're there, get plenty of Mexican food. For late-night snacking, go to Chico's. It's an El Paso establishment. You may find that it doesn't appear appealing at first, but you'll probably like it...especially after you get drunk in Juarez. El Paso bars to go to: King's X on Mesa Street, and Wild Hare's, also on Mesa.
Admire oil jack after oil jack on your way there.
Score some crack. I know someone if you need a hookup.
Right. Like josh doesn't know where to score crack in Big D.
I can't believe that you haven't gotten a crack about Felina yet.
Steer clear of Felina and... D'OH!
did you three get together with jen for a crack & crabwalk party just now?
