It's wednesday boys and girls which , of course ,means the week is half over .
It's been a pretty good week for me so far . Nothing to exciting excpet my friends and I going out this past monday for "Cinco de Mayo " .
"Cinco de Mayo (Spanish for "5th of May") is a regional holiday in Mexico, primarily celebrated in the state of Puebla. It is not an obligatory federal holiday. The holiday commemorates an initial victory of Mexican forces led by General Ignacio Zaragoza Seguín over French forces in the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. The date is observed in the United States and other locations around the world as a celebration of Mexican heritage and pride.
A common misconception in the United States is that Cinco de Mayo is Mexico's Independence day; Mexico's Independence Day is actually September 16 (dieciséis de septiembre in Spanish), which is the most important national patriotic holiday in Mexico."
It's a big day in Los Angeles cause of the huge Mexican population . Even allot of non Mexicans celebrate this day cause it's a great excuse to go out and get wasted ! lol
Thats at least what we did this past moday . We started out with Margaritas at "Fiesta Cantina" in West Hollywood and went to "The Troubadour" after .
"Since opening in 1957, the legendary Troubadour club in West Hollywood has helped launch some of contemporary music's most talented performers. Greats such as Elton John, James Taylor and Tom Waits performed there early in their careers, and it continues to be a destination for cutting-edge acts from around the world. The Troubadour also remains a popular venue among serious music fans who enjoy listening to live music in an intimate and historically rich setting." (
