Soy de El Paso, beetches!

Andi Teran, an El Paso expatriate, is my hero. The girl can write, and she's incredibly witty, to boot. I always enjoy reading her articles via Vanity Fair online. None of those stories has made me — and my fellow El Pasoans who have read it — beam with as much pride as her latest offering, The Best Little Music City in Texas. Take a look. You'll shed a tear and feel all warm and fuzzy inside, I promise.

This great photo is from Andi's husband and partner in crime, Hamish Robertson, and first appeared alongside the article online on vanityfair.com. It's of hometown hero Jim Ward's wrist.
