Pre-Cinco de Mayo?

So, another looooosssseeeerrrr story! My girlfriend Creampie and I had a bit of shopping to do yesterday before we could begin the Cinco de Mayo party. We went to Century City to handle that... once the shopping was out of the way we stopped at The Pink Taco for our first celebratory drink and some chips, salsa, guacamole, and TACOS!!! Their signature Cadillac Margarita was on special... I don't drink tequila though so I got my usual, Kettle Soda Lemon. The drinks were weak. We had to order an extra shot to bring them up to par. The food was not traditional and the drinks sucked... so, we decided to move on.

We stopped by Creampie's house to drop off our shopping bags. I suggested we take a cab. We are close enough to our next destination to take a cab or even ride our bikes. I did not have my bike over there though. Creampie "did not want to roll up in a cab" so we got in her car and drove over to Venice Beach to hit up Cabo Cantina for the Cinco de Mayo celebration!

Only to find out that the valet was blocked off by celebratory paraphernalia... UGH! now we have to find a place to park. We ended up driving through the closest designated beach parking after paying $7 only to find out that there were no more parking spots. That took us a half an hour! and, we got our $7 back too!

Now a dilemma! where to go?... how to celebrate? ok, lets go to Casa Escobar in the marina... we know there will be parking there. Nobody is ever there! True! lots of parking, no people, nothing! After one drink we just about fell asleep so we decided to chock it up to a good try and go back to Creampie's place.

This is how most of the events in our lives go... we wonder why we never do anything! What a bunch of losers!

Did you find a party? had we taken a cab we decided we probably would have been disappointed and wanted to leave right away anyway... are our expectations too high? or, are we crazy? or both?

what do you think? Happy Cinco de Mayo!
