Not sure if white folks celebrate this holiday. Didn't see any specials on coronas, limes, and fajitas.
The real Mexican Independence, not that lame Cinco de Mayo bull*****... White folks drink to anything, they just need an excuse...so why not have this be a "holiday" in America...HEB must be having a sale on fajitas, tortillas, queso blanco and chorizo...
Well, I know he ain't askin' black people. :grin: 'less they're married to Mexicans... then they DO care about our festivities...
my birthday is so much cooler than mexican independence day. and i will be celebrating it healthily with some ben and jerry's and the season premiere of sunny.
^^ unhealthy??? FYI - Mexico's Independence Day is the 16th of September, but the parties and festivities are actually on the eve of the 16th, the midnight before, when a GRITO is celebrated to start the Independence Movement. Miller Outdoor Theatre always has a celebration event that is a few hours before you can go home and watch the live celebration at 12:01 a.m. on TV from a Mexico feed. this is a nicely written page on the occasion: http://www.inside-mexico.com/featureindep.htm As compared to the U.S. of A.'s independence, we celebrate it with a "GRITO", not a signing of a document, and we were mestizos rising against oppressing Caucasian government.
The Mexican American Cultural Center is having some festivities in Austin... It's a pretty cool spot. http://www.ci.austin.tx.us/macc/events.htm Fiesta de Independencia 2010!

Probably Argentina... sometime in th--- wait a minute. You don't know? Seriously? Doods...y'all don't know? Against tyranny, oppression, crimes, and social indignity... and don't make me post mushy stuff again...
This is the wrong thread to discuss that, sir. Please respect! :grin: How about we discuss what you or I will be drinking tonight to celebrate?
