• The Little City coffeehouse will be closing May 13.

Now in their third year, the Cinco De Mayo Downtown Block Party on West 2nd Street will celebrate the culture of Mexico with a huge, free event tomorrow evening from 5-10pm between Guadalupe and San Antonio streets.

The following post is from our advertiser, C3 Presents. Phosphorescent is in town this week, and C3 Presents is giving you the chance to attend their May 5th show at the Parish.

With their unique sound that blends rock and folk, Phosphorescent is sure to put on a memorable show, assuming you keep your tequila-intake in check this Cinco de Mayo.

This is an experiment. OK – it’s a Cinco de Mayo fueled experiment.

There’s some odd bloglike but not quite a blog site out there named NorthLoop Neighborhoods that seems to cut and paste pieces of ACDL and post them without comment.

I’m posting this at 11:16 P.M. to see whether NorthLoop Neighborhoods picks it up, and if it does, how quickly it does it.

Cinco de Mayo celebrates Mexican Gen. Ignacio Zaragoza’s victory over French invasion forces at Puebla in 1862, even though the locals sided with the invasion forces (not their own general), and the holiday was created in California (not Mexico) and is still ignored throughout that country today (except for Puebla, of course).

But have a nice Cinco de Mayo, anyway.
