I had a blast.

My cousin's wedding fell on today too, so it was like a double whammy of fun.

He dubbed it, the Pandemonium Wedding, and it did not disappoint.

How was your Cinco de Mayo?

Since this so-called holiday is so fucking insignificant for us in Mexico we don't even get the day off so I spent it working.

More power to you but I'll never understand why the US chose this stupid day out of so many they could've gone with. What really ticks me off is when I see Americans that think that's Mexico's Independence Day which it isn't. That would be September 16 which is both our baiobak holiday AND we do get the day off since it's a real day to celebrate something.

I saw LCD Soundsystem and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs at the Hollywood Bowl. Had an interesting experience with a hilarious couple who were clearly rolling. Drank a fair amount. Didn’t get tacos, but I get tacos 3-4 nights a week anyway.

LCD live is fucking phenomenal btw, highly recommended.

MY culture is NOT your excuse to drink!

To answer the question; just pretty chill. I think i would have enjoyed it better with my Mom's home cooking but what can ya do.

It was my first as a parent, and it was a delight. The wife and her mom took the kid to a consignment shop in the AM while I got a chance to SKWAT at the gym. When they got back we toured a couple open houses in town. The new townhouse was nice. The older house in the cool neighborhood was bad. We had a nice lunch at a local Mexican/South American restaurant. My father in law pilots a local tour boat and we snuck onto the 4 PM sail. The kid got to sit in the captain's chair much to the delight of all. We walked around town afterward and planning on getting a final margarita at the boutique taco shop downtown. It was slammed so we decided to go somewhere else, but on the way there discovered that very taco place had setup a sort of pop up restaurant around the corner serving... margaritas! Had a couple more, enjoyed the afternoon weather, took the kid home for bath and bedtime, then drifted off to sleep. Maintained a nice maintenance drunk the whole afternoon without the hint of a hangover this morning.

My girlfriend and I️ went out the night before cuz we had concert tickets but we didn’t check the date for some reason and they’re for next week. So we had food truck gyros and went to an arcade bar and got drunk and played outdoor Jenga instead. On the actual 5th we made pork tacos and pico and watched xfiles. Didn’t drink any

It's a corporate holiday now, meant to sell alcohol

It's the chance for Americans to get drunk and eat Tex mex.

Not too bad, friend made some homemade empanadas and we had margaritas with the occasional Patron shot. Then played some Jackbox games.

It's been celebrated in California since 1863 as a response by Mexicans here in support of their families in Mexico. It wasn't until the Chicano movement started that it became a big thing in other states. As the Mexican-American population grew its become more of a celebration of our heritage and culture. The commercialization of it sucks but in California it's still a way for many of us to connect with our history.

I had eight shots of vodka while watching Cobra Kai. I also had some frozen Lou Malnati's pizza that was shipped to me for my upcoming birthday. It was a good day.

I cooked some badass waffles. And while I was out, I walked past a dude wearing a shirt that appeared to be printed with nothing but pictures of magazine covers featuring Kim Kardashian in a bikini.

Fairly certain that last part isn't part of the Cinco de Mayo tradition...

I work at a mexican fast food place so it was going to be busy already, but coupled with the fact that the mcdonalds next door shut down for renovations made the day unbearable. I'm glad it is over.

Pretty good. We were getting our windows replaced in the morning so went to a local bar at 10am. There was already a decent group there and we started chatting with the bartender. He was in a generous mood and ended up just throwing shot after shot at us for free.

Went home at 2, took a nap for couple of hours then met up with some friends in DC at an outdoor German beer garden to watch the Caps game and ended up at a barcade after and played Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on a huge projection screen drunk as fuck. It was awesome.
