There's No George Clooney Here, But...

December 19, 2008 at 2:30 PM | by egw | 0 Comments

SIGH. This week marked the last day of shooting for "Men Who Stare At Goats," George Clooney's forthcoming CIA thriller costarring Kevin Spacey and George Clooney's mustache. It must feel as deflating to the state of New Mexico as a Bill Richardson's failed presidential bid or every time someone confuses it with the old country to the south.

Well, we found at least three good reasons to visit Albuquerque, the last set used for "Men Who Stare At Goats," and they have nothing to do with the above-named bachelor:

Flying Star Cafe: A roadside cafe with its own chef? Try wine pairings with your meatloaf or matzoh ball soup, and maybe you'll meet a cute waiter. 8000 Paseo del Norte

Hastings Bookstore: Pick up a copy of "Mamma Mia!" on DVD and find someone with "amazing eyes" to watch it with. 800-A Juan Tabo Blvd. NE

Harwood Art Center: Meet an artist (or just someone who looks like one) at the 12x12 exhibit, featuring local artists, or the Rio Grande High School Student Show. 1114 7th Street NW
