Happy Cinco de Mayo!

How are you celebrating Mexican culture today?

I should be drinking Mexican beer (all I have is Belgian), but at least I've got Santana on...
I am confident that an SL-1200 is capable of outperforming turntables of much higher expense with minor modification.

Fighting everything in me to drive up to Pittsburgh tonight and go to Mexico City to dance some salsa.  Only reason I am not going is because I am heading up on the 11th.  8)  Though I do not care that much about Puebla and do not understand why in the US we celebrate this battle victory more than the independence of Mexico, September 16, it does not mean I will not wear my Mexican jersey and jam to some hispanic jams!  ;D  For me the Dominican, Juan Luis Guerra!  Juan Luis Guerra "Bachata en Fukuoka" HD official Video.  Enjoy!  I will probably post more.

No not really.  I have a lot of issues with our neighbors from south of the boarder.
