kozmiq 70 Posted May 5, 2006 Tonight I'm going to some friend's place in Winchester, VA They are having a live Bluegrass band, plenty of beer & smoke, a roasted pig and other fire cooked meats. It's on a 3 1/2 acre tract down a gravel road with lots of parking. They have 15-20 cots in an enlarged garage for people who drink too much and don't want to drive all the way home. Me, I'm hiring a driver. Which is funny because driving is my job. So, any good parties to report? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

brinett9 0 Posted May 5, 2006 Cinco de Mayo or the Fifth of May commemorates the 1862 victory by Mexican forces, including ordinary citizens, over French soldiers. The battle known as La Batalla de Puebla or The Battle of Puebla took place on May 5th. It is a day marked by many Mexicans and those with Mexican ties as an important cultural event. Everyone likes a party or fiesta - so put on your party clothes and get ready to explore the roots of Hispanic culture by learning more about this day in the history of Mexico.

galmgren 0 Posted May 5, 2006 Historical Info: Most people don't know that back in 1912, Hellmann's mayonnaise was manufactured in England. In fact, the Titanic was carrying 12,000 jars of the condiment scheduled for delivery in Vera Cruz, Mexico, which was to be the next port of call for the great ship after its stop in New York. This would have been the largest single shipment of mayonnaise ever delivered to Mexico. But as we know, the great ship did not make it to New York. The ship hit an iceberg and sank, and the cargo was forever lost. The people of Mexico, who were crazy about mayonnaise, and were eagerly awaiting its delivery, were disconsolate at the loss. Their anguish was so great, that they declared a National Day of Mourning, which they still observe to this day. The National Day of Mourning occurs each year on May 5th and is known, of course, as Sinko de Mayo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kozmiq 70 Posted May 8, 2006 Did anybody go to any parties? Do you guys go to parties? I don't hear much. But I don't read much either. The place I went to Friday night was beautiful. Grassy areas for kids to play. Horseshoe pits with lights shining out of trees onto them. Food food food food. And the guys from Dominion mini Brewery out by Redskins Park supplied the freshly made beer. Weed, Tequila and even loose women. And guys. Laid back. Live bluegrass pickers in one area while CDs played in the house and records out by the barn / shop area. 75-80 people tops. Mostly people who have known each others 20 years and more. And fireworks as we were leaving. I wish you could have been there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
