Board the Rock Star Shuttle

Monday April 6, 2009
As anyone who has ever seen a concert at the Journal Pavilion knows, it is the perfect setting for a night of music. Concertgoers can sit close to the stage or on the grass in comfortable groups. But as anyone who has been to a concert at the Pavilion (or any other location, for that matter) knows, the drive in and out of a big name event can take up a good portion of the evening.

Not any more.

The City of Albuquerque's Park and Ride now provides transportation to and from select Pavilion concerts. Called the Rock Star Shuttle, the service gives concertgoers a chance to save money on gas, decrease pollution caused by idling cars, and completely eliminate the hassle of driving in concert traffic.

Buses depart from the Park and Ride locations 90 minutes before the start of each concert. Park free at the Macaroni Grill Park and Ride near Winrock, or at the corner of Central and Unser. Buses leave the concert 20 minutes after it ends to return to the Park and Ride lots.

The cost for each round trip is $15 for adults, and $8 for children 12 and under. Be sure to bring exact change, as bus drivers do not carry any. Payment takes place at the Park and Ride lots using the bus fare box.

Upcoming concerts that offer the service are: Kenny Chesney, 4/23, departure at 6 p.m.; Nine Inch Nails, 5/14, departure at 5:30 p.m.; No Doubt, 5/28, departure at 6:00 p.m.; and Def Leppard, 8/28, departure at 5:30 p.m.

Reservations are first come, first served, and can be made by filling out a form at this location.

Ok, this is kind of weird but I just ran across this YouTube video: Kesha Tik Tok

It’s a girl that calls herself Ke$ha (Yes that’s Kesha with a dollar sign lol) But she’s got this music video called Tik Tok and the lyrics are funny. It’s kind of catchy actually. At one point she mentions something like “I brush my teeth with a bottle of Jack…” obviously has a drinking problem. Either way check it out and let me know what you think of it. Like it or hate it?

…And is it weird that I got it stuck in my head? :-)
