Direct TV Channel 806 is already playing the Mexican folk music. I love it!!! I can't wait until my party tonight. There's gonna be anywhere from 30-50 folks at my place to party. :cool:

This makes me sad..... Why do you people accept what the media tells you? 5 de Mayo is an important holiday, but not the most important for us. Kind like telling you "happy memorial day" but forgetting about 4 of July....... That is why there are so many falacies about us, the media tells you what is important :( Drink if you want, but drink again with us on September 16. :beer:

I'm sorry, but Cinco de Mayo isn't about Mexico to Americans. It's about enjoying mexican food and good mexican beer. Don't take it so personal... I wouldn't care if Mexicans started celebrating the battle of Bull Run or Abe Lincoln's birthday....You shouldn't care either.

Alex, I suspect that's it's more a case of the date being easy to remember than anything.

Like I believe the food and the drinks will be authentic.... "taco" hell and margaritas. Oh, even the "enchiladas" at the supposedely "authentic" restaurants are fake.
I wouldn't care if they took it for what it is in reality.... an excuse to party, but when people start TRULY believing that what the TV told them is true then you have a problem..... Ah, and thiose are the ones that will claim they know a lot about other countries.

Have a beer on me :beer: and as I said, I'll give one more date to celebrate with us so you can have an additional day to party: Independence day on Sep 16.
