While we were not celebrating Cinco de Mayo, we were celebrating nonetheless. Here is a blast from the margarita bandit past of my friend Karen Castrischer Stegall and yours truly, imbibing at the famous Mexican Restaurant El Coyote.

El Coyote is most known for being the place that Sharon Tate last dined before her untimely passing. 

I can't recall what year this was but it was Karen was merely a Castricsher, sans the Stegall.

So bend it like us and whoop it up, it's not only Cinco de Mayo, it's also Friday...

TGIF!!!

Sun Gets In Your Eyes...Happy Cinco de Mayo!

Celebrating Cinco!
Michael Shinafelt

Yesterday was May the 4th, as in Star Wars day, "May The 4th Be With You" today is May the 5th known as "Revenge of the Fifth" to Star Wars geeks, to the world at large it is known as Cinco de Mayo! Woot!

There I am above celebrating and it appears "As If" the sun has gotten in my eyes, nothing an adjacent margarita can't make better, oh and BTW, it did!

Happy Cinco de Mayo Minions!!!

Cinco de Mayo

Wasted Away Again in Margaritaville...
Neil Patrick Harris

"Cinco de Mayo (pronounced [ˈsiŋko ðe ˈmaʝo] in Latin America, Spanish for "Fifth of May") is an annual celebration held on May 5. The date is observed to commemorate the Mexican Army's victory over the French Empire at the Battle of Puebla, on May 5, 1862, under the leadership of General Ignacio Zaragoza.^[1][2] The victory of the smaller Mexican force against a larger French force was a boost to morale for the Mexicans. A year after the battle, a larger French force defeated Zaragoza at the Second Battle of Puebla, and Mexico City soon fell to the invaders" - Wikipedia 

OK, there you have it the reason Cinco de Mayo aka The 5th of May is celebrated. This being stated it is mainly an excuse for most to go out and get wasted away in Margaritaville. 

Case in point, the celebratory image that is giving me Cinco life today is one Neil Patrick Harris on the beach passed out among many Margarita glasses. While it is obviously staged NPH is known for his fondness of the tequila based concoction.

Honestly I would like to join Neil in reaching the beach today, but alas can not. Yeah, not everyone has the free time to go out and get elegantly wasted.

Margarita Glass Drop!
