We had a great time at our first Trivia Night of 2022 with questions about music from the 70s and 80s. Curt Alliaume failed to notify us that he was a DJ in a former life. He knew all the answers and we had to break his knuckles after round one so he wouldn’t win all the prizes!
But seriously, in true socialist form*, after wiping the floor with us after round one, Curt graciously let others type in their answers first and even offered
clues when others were stumped. Other winners were Maryann Vazquez, Chris Patterson, and Sue Quigley. Even our pop culture-agnostic newsletter editor almost answered a question. Wait ’til next time!
Many thanks to our sponsors Amy Chavez, Barb O’Meara, Sadia Covert, Chris Patterson, and Lisa Rose!

When LTDO throws a Holiday Party, it does not fool around! The festivities at Meson Sabika featured an elegant setting, great food, and lots of quality schmoozing. Thanks to our Events Chair Urzula Urzua for conceiving and planning this (and coping with late responses and no-shows)!
Heads up — next year, the Holiday Party will be a fundraiser via advance ticket sales only Start saving your pennies!
The Chili Cookoff Fundraiser is returning! We hope to hold the event sometime this Spring, but we don’t know yet when it will be safe to do so. Admission will be $30 per individual, $60 per family, and $5 off if you bring a dish.
We’ll hold four competitions:
1. Chili – any kind 2. Chili – vegetarian 3. Cornbread 4. Dessert
We are still seeking a site for this event, so if you have any ideas or connections, PLEASE let us know at urzula@gmail.com.
LTDO’s Third Annual (and second LIVE) Oktoberfest was a blowout! Everyone was required to be vaccinated and the weather cooperated permitting abundant ventilation of Alter Brewing’s spacious Barrel Room. Everyone was taking photos with everyone else, and if that ain’t a successful political event then I’m a Ferengi.
Your Lazy Editor did not have time to include more than a smattering of photos, but we’re planning a special Oktoberfest Edition. Want to see your photos in the mix? Please email them to photos@ltdo.org and include identifying information!
