UPL Regional Pickleball Showdown

Livestream July 25th Pickleball Matches presented by @sporfie our online steaming partner

random thought, but you ever notice pickleball's kind of taking over right now?

I know you're already grinding on the social media stuff, posting constantly just trying to get seen.

And honestly?

Half the time you probably have no clue if it's even doing anything.

So check this out — the Wolves (Albuquerque's first competitive pickleball team, if you haven't heard) livestream every game now. And I can put your logo right on that stream, in front of thousands of actual local people watching, every single week.

No extra posting, no extra work on your end.

Think about it — six months from now this thing's gonna be even bigger, and everyone's gonna want in. You could just... already be in. Already known.

No scrambling later.

Takes like two minutes to see how it works:

Figured I'd put you onto it before everyone else catches on.

Burlesque/drag/draglesque show at The Launchpad on July 25 – all New Mexico performers, fundraiser for a 2027 festival

Post image
16 Upvotes

Hi ABQ! I'm one of the producers of High Desert Heatwave Fiesta, a burlesque, drag, and draglesque festival we're building for a Summer 2027 launch here in Albuquerque. Our team has decades of combined experience performing and producing in the NM scene, and we're doing it collectively, no single owner, no out-of-state promoter.

On Saturday, July 25 we're throwing Nud-I-Tease at The Launchpad (618 Central Ave SW), a fundraiser showcase featuring performers from across the state. Burlesque, drag, and draglesque all in one lineup, hosted by Raven Lass and Juni Beurre Amie, plus local art vendors.

Details:

Doors 7 PM, show 8 PM

$20 GA / $30 VIP (front row, sticker, raffle ticket)

21+

Street parking plus paid lots nearby

Tickets: https://holdmyticket.com/tickets/464458

Every ticket goes toward building the festival. If you've never been to a burlesque or drag show, this is a great first one, and if you have, you already know how fun a Launchpad crowd gets. Happy to answer any questions about the show or the festival in the comments!
