What a fun time. I mean, really. Anytime you have to wake up and take inventory for your wallet and keys and ID and stuff, well that’s just a sign of fun! Okay, it wasn’t really like that.. well not for me! Heh.

We left the house around 3ish and took the trolly down to Old Town for the Cinco De Mayo Celebration. It was packed, as I thought it would be. The thing was basically like any other street fair you’ve been to except with a Mexican flair. A lot of the booths were just the usual stuff. The food selection looked good, but to be honest we didn’t get any. The lines were way too long. There was some music at every corner, including a spanish metal group on the main stage. We saw a drunk girl. After we checked everything out including the car show portion (I know, I am still trying to figure out what some of the things had to do with Cinco De Mayo...) we decided to try our luck at one of the restaurants in the area. Not to get a table, the shortest wait for that was 45 minutes, AFTER you got through the line to just put your name in! We just wanted to sit on a patio and watch the filth go by over a few cocktails. We found a place with seats available outside, but after more than ten minutes of no service we left. At that point Richard was kinda done with all the tourist type stuff and the crowd. We made our way back to el trolly.

Instead of going home though we got off a few stops early. I couldn’t let Cinco De Mayo pass with out a margarita! I mean come on! So we walked over to Chevy’s. Drinks were had. All of out favorite people were working. We laughed. We ate. More drinks were had. Then Richard had a round without me. The lesbian sitting next to me offered me her drink. She was so nice! I declined. But we chatted a bit. Then Richard was served a Mystery Drink. This is the one that did him in. We left shortly after.

Have you ever escorted a really drunk friend home on public transportation? Yeah. It was like that, exactly. On the final walk from the trolly station I had to hold his hand to keep him moving. We must have looked so cute. Not.

Anyway, I leave you with a video of shiny things that twirled. (New camera syndrome) By the way, I updated the Gallery. Check it out!
