We live in the land of the free, but everything in our country comes with a price tag … pretty much. The Daily Lobo searched high and low for the few things in life that won’t cost you anything, and here are the results. Venture forward.
cookbook
anyday
Do you or someone you know have diabetes? Or maybe you just want to mitigate those carbs you stack up drinking all that beer. Either way, check out this diabetic-recipe book of low-carb munchies. The site asks for email, presumably to spam you every day, so put in your junk-mail address, or just use your mom’s and you’re good to go. Find the sign-up page by visiting abqonthecheap.com, clicking on “Food Freebies & Deals: July 13 – 20, 2012” and clicking on the link under “Free Diabetic Recipe Coupon.”
music
any day through july 31
Amazon’s free music downloads for July include “Don’t Dig Here” by two of my favorite musicians, David Crosby and Graham Nash. Or if you are going on a road trip with a carload of kids, check out Craig Taubman’s Travel Songs for Kids. Nineteen tracks of songs like “I’ve Been Working on the Railroad” should be enough to put them to sleep. Find the links to these free tracks by visiting abqonthecheap.com, clicking on “Free Mp3s…” and finding the link of your choice, or follow the QR code.
one-woman play
tuesday
This event is connected to UNM’s two-week curanderismo class. The play is “Santa de Cabora” by Elena Bjorkquist, and openers include a healer who does “laugh therapy.” Apparently the healer doesn’t tell any jokes, but somehow makes 99 percent of the audience laugh. There is a $10 suggested donation, but if you tell them you’re a starving student I’m sure they won’t refuse you. The event starts at 7 p.m. in the Roy Disney room at the National Hispanic Cultural Center at 1701 Fourth St. S.W.
movie
wednesday
The latest installment of the KiMo Theatre’s Centennial Film Series features “The Cheyenne Social Club.” This film tells the story of a man who inherits a large fortune, only to discover it’s a whorehouse. The star-studded cast includes Henry Fonda, James Stewart and Shirley Jones, and the movie is directed by Gene Kelly. And to top it off, it was filmed in New Mexico. So why aren’t you there already? The KiMo is at 423 Central Ave. N.W. and the film starts at 7 p.m.
nature journaling
SATURDAY
Have you ever dreamed of becoming the next Henry David Thoreau? I know I have. Check out this introduction to nature journaling; watch the natural world unfold around you like you’ve never seen it before—and then record that experience. This talk runs from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Petroglyph Park’s Visitor Center at the end of Cliff Hill Rd. N.E. Pre-registration is required, so call Luke Fields at (505) 899-0205, ext. 338.
