Actually, I found two things on my map of New Mexico that would interest
1) us, 2) Star Rats, and 3) the promoters, since Star Rats will certainly
inform them of this information [wink wink :) ].

A) On my road map of New Mexico are various symbols, one of which
translates to "Camp Area Here".  As it turns out, the density of camp
areas near Roswell is especially high, with at least 5 to the immediate
west of the city, and a few just south.  And those are just the campsites
that the cartographers bothered to put on there! :)

B) Guess where New Mexico is?... Right next to TEXAS!!! :) :) :)  If HW
manages to perform at the Roswell thing, there'll be NO EXCUSE WHATSOEVER
for them to skip Texas!  Yes!
