Each year, the American Southwest Theater Company at New Mexico State University puts on a production during the holiday season (on top of their several other productions each year), and as of the last few years, the ASTC has switched off between the classic yuletide tale of ‘A Christmas Year’ and a different, non-holiday production. This year, the ASTC is proud to present “Seussical the Musical” from November 20th through December 6th at the Hershel Zohn Theater on the NMSU campus.
Seussical entwines the favorites of the Dr. Seuss world, including Horton and the Whos, the Cat in the Hat, the Grinch, and more, and creates a magical, fantastical world in which all of Dr. Seuss’s characters interact and live among each other. The show is rated PG, and provides greatly quality fun for every member of the family. We saw it when the ASTC did the show a few years ago and loved it - we will definitely be back this time around too.
Leading a cast of talented locals is director Tim Pinnow, choreographer Jennifer Lemon, and musical director Robert Randall. The cast features a number of talented local artists & NMSU students including Matt Jones (Horton), Carrie Oliver (Cat in the Hat), Mandy Guitar (JoJo), Ida Holguin (Gertrude), Francesca Tharpe (Mazy), and La Sasha Aldridge (Sour Kangaroo), including many other dancers and vocalists (not to mention all the back stage and production crew).

First things first, I want to ask a question:
What did we do before Google?
For me, it’s strange to sit and remember the last time I had to really search for the answer to something, whether it be a recipe, a phone number, or a movie. And by ‘really search,’ I don’t mean sifting through the first four pages of Google’s search before I find the site I’m looking for; do you remember how difficult it used to be to find a new business’s phone number or location before the phone book was updated? It’s almost unfathomable to think about planning a trip itinerary without the help of the Internet… How did we even book hotels 10 years ago? It boggles my mind!
On that same note, the information at our fingertips is endless. Particularly, real estate marketing has drastically changed over the last five years. Remember when one of the best ways to get your face out there was a billboard? A full page ad in a phone directory? Newspapers? Magazines? Networking with real people? Granted, we still use some of these, but if you sit and think about all the money you’ve saved since you pulled those costly ads and started utilizing websites and blogs to deliver your message. That thought hadn’t really occurred to me until I was reminiscing with colleagues recently, and the amount that all of us have saved is in the thousands now.
I know that some agents and professionals are still a little reluctant to dive head-first into social media marketing world, but I cannot stress enough how easy and cheap it is; even if you have to pay to host your website or blog, the average $5-15 dollars per month (or year) is a huge difference from the hundreds (to thousands) it costs to rent and put up a billboard space. Listed below are some links to blog entries, website posts, and the like that I have found helpful and informative:
-About.com article about the basics to utilizing social media: CLICK HERE
-My blog post about Twitter: In Plain English: CLICK HERE
-My blog post about social media marketing tactics: CLICK HERE
-Another blog post about social media marketing, how it works, and a video on the scope of technology: CLICK HERE
I hope some of these links are helpful for you and your business and that this post was a little thought provoking, because really… Where were we BG? (Before Google)

As of Thursday of last week, legislation passed extending ‘first time home buyer tax credit’ to May of 2010, and adding a $6,500 tax credit to repeat home buyers if they’ve lived in their current home for five of the past eight years, with a cap on home prices at $800,000. Other stipulations have changed slightly, but here are the highlights below:
* Extended to May 1, 2010
* $8000 for first time buyers
* $6500 to repeat buyers with limitations on time of residence
* Home price capped at $800,000
* Income limits now $125k individuals and $225k joint filers
* Reduced credits for $145k individuals and $245k income joint filers
* Contracts in place by April 30 will get 60 days to close
When the first tax credit was put into effect, I think almost all agents saw a surge of activity from all different types of demographics, though it was mostly young professionals who had been on the fence about purchasing a home. The amount of traffic to our offices increased by a decent percentage, and since then activity has leveled out a comfortable pace. As a slight workaholic, I’m always prepared to be busier than I am, but I can definitely appreciate the better attitude towards real estate as opposed to this time last year.
People should no longer feel afraid of buying real estate, despite the “gloom” of the last few years, and I think the first tax credit gave hope to young professionals and families that their dream of buying their first home is actually attainable.
Me and my team will keep you updated on changes and additions to this tax credit extension; good news is on the horizon, I can feel it!
Edit: Sorry for the confusion - the extension/expansion went through on Thursday, and this blog had been sitting in draft for a while. My assistant finished it and posted it while I was away, and I’ve made the necessary changes to keep you up to date and ready for market changes.

Any Las Cruces native or resident will tell you that if there’s any football game to see, it’s Mayfield versus Las Cruces High. For nearly 30 years, the two high schools were the only secondary education schools in the city, and as a result, a deep-rooted rivalry was born. Even with the arrival of Onate High School in 1993, the competition between Mayfield and Las Cruces has remained untouched. Each year, thousands of teenagers, parents, football fans, and Las Cruces residents show up to take sides at Aggie Stadium, since the game has reached a magnitude that surpasses the usual high school stomping grounds, the Field of Dreams.
Last year, officials estimated some 30,000 spectators came out for the game (that’s three times the usual amount at Aggies games, if that’s any indication). Las Cruces High are the reigning 5A state champions in football, with a remarkable 13-0 record. Rival.com puts Las Cruces High on their RivalsHigh 100 List of 2008 out of all the schools in the country. Both Mayfield and Las Cruces High have had rocky seasons so far, so the question is: will Las Cruces’s track record as state champs play in their favor, or could this game serve as Mayfield’s stepping stone to the state championship this year?
This is a fantastic Las Cruces event for people of all ages, alumni or not. Come out and eat stadium food and watch some good old fashioned football on Friday, Nov. 6 at 7pm at Aggie Memorial Stadium on the NMSU Campus. Admission is $10 for adults, $5 for students, and kids 6 and under are free. We hope to see you there!
