Friends of DOR OTHY DORO Metra's calendar of EVENTS, that lets you know where all the HOT spots are!
By Auntie M4Doro@ aol.com This issue is our Cinco de Mayo and our Mothers Day issue, this is the 154th Anniversary of Cinco de Mayo it’s a bicultural celebration synonymous with drinking margaritas and cerveza (beer). It’s NOT Mexican Independence Day, but commemorates the triumph of the Mexican Army at the Battle of Puebla on May 5th 1862 and commemorates a military victory over France, not Spain. Cinco de Mayo is a bigger celebration in the United States than in Mexico. And the evolution of Cinco de Mayo can be seen as a metaphor for Mexican assimilation into the United States in 1860’s and just a century later 1960’s Californian Chicano activists embraced the day as a symbol of ethnic pride for all Mexican peoples! So, it’s really like Mexican PRIDE Day! Let’s not forget it’s our MOM’s Day issue too, that special woman who was always there from the beginning, wiping your butts and changing your soiled diapers, also cleaning your runny noses, and kissing away all your boo boos and tears. Also, whacking that ass if need be! So, give some love to Mom and do something special on Sunday, May 14th give her some flowers and take her out for dinner. Now let’s see who is going to be celebrating in Metraland! …MICHIGAN Ann Arbor: NECTO (734-994-5436), is in the spirit, when PRIDE FRIDAY and COCKY BOYS presents “CINCO DE MAYO” Party, May 5th with special guest BOOMER BANKS, drink specials ALL night sponsored by Jose Cuervo and Modelo.
