Hey Devil,


Can you let us know which town Maggie's Diner is in?  Is there really a Madrid in the south/west?  Or is it on the Universal lot or similar in LA?

Might be a good excuse for a road trip sometime???

On a trip last year to New Orleans my wife and I met one of the stunt guys from the movie.  He actually had a couple of bit parts as well... He was the truck driver at the beginning of the movie when they threw away the cell phone which hit his windshield, he jump out and the guys took off.  He also was the long haired biker who punch William H. Macey in the face outside of Maggie's Diner.


He is a super guy who invited us to visit him on his ranch in southern California next time we head that way.  We have stayed in touch via emails since then and he tells us that there is going to be a Part II coming out soon called "Wild Hogs in Europe".  Should be good for another laugh or two.

Anyway, if you could let me know where Maggie's Diner actually is, I would appreciate it.

Thanks!

Do not have photo of mine there but was a fun place to visit.

Madrid
The town of Madrid (pronounced MAD-rid) has a rich history, dating from the early 1800s. The town has transformed from a mining town to today's distinctive artist community. Because of the unique geology of the area, hard and soft coal were mined here with shafts as deep as 2500 feet, a phenomenon found in only two other mines in the world. The area was booming in its heyday, supplying coal for the Santa Fe Railroad, local consumers and the U.S. government. The company town became famous for its Fourth of July parade, lighted Christmas displays and minor league baseball games in the first lighted stadium in the West. When coal use declined, the town fell into a silent ghost town.

In the early 1970s, artists and craftspeople arrived in Madrid. They converted old company stores and houses into quality shops and galleries. Madrid has a mining museum, an original tavern, and in the summer, there is melodrama in a theatre created in the engine house, blues concerts at the ballpark, and walking tours. The Fourth of July parade and Christmas celebrations (the first two weekends in December) have been revived by Madrid's current residents.

In recent years, Madrid has also become used as a movie set. 2007 saw the release of Wild Hogs filmed throughout New Mexico but primarily in the Madrid/Cerrillos area.

Maggie's dinner is in the real town of Madrid, New Mexico. It's north of Santa Fe. According to all the locals, all the outdoor seances that included the dinner were filmed there.
