The State Tourism Department of New Mexico has just won the award for “excellence in creative concept and design” from the Pasadena Rose Parade’s Grand Marshal. The entry, titled “Passport To Our World and Beyond” was designed to draw more tourists to the state.

It’s sort of unfortunate that New Mexico still needs to capitalize on the Roswell Incident to get people to visit. The rest of the state is incredible enough. If you’ve ever been to a ceremonial dance at one of the Indian pueblos in the middle of the winter, skiied at Taos Valley, camped in the redrock canyons of Gila National Forest, or had a heavenly bowl of Hatch red chili you’ll know what I mean.

   Thanks for the plug for my home state, Greg.

   I knew you must’ve spent plenty of time here from your superb Project Beta.

   And yes, it’s more than a little lame that the Tourism Dept has to keep flogging Roswell. But that’s government.

   Victor,

   Sorry I didn’t answer sooner. I’d been going to NM for years before the book project, which is why I was extra happy to get the contract to write it.
