The Hat says it all...
Now some of you may wonder why am I out celebrating Cinco de Mayo when just 5 days ago I was dancing on one knee at Greek Easter. And some of you may think you know the answer, "any excuse to drink, Gil will be there". To that I say "HA!!" you don't me very well. In fact it has been 8 years since I needed an excuse to drink. The simple reason is I am cultured, and you apparently are not. I feel it is important to embrace all the strange and extremely misguided cultures that I am inundated by on a regular basis. So I go put on a hat and a smiley face and pretend to embrace them by drinking coronas and doing the Mexican hat dance (my version of it). But seriously how often do I get to see a Korean drunk wearing a sombrero ( a very stylish at that) and a corona shirt choosing to acknowledge all that Mexican can be proud of. So thank you for that inspiring choice of dress.
As you may now be aware I drink a lot, but I do not do it alone so thank you to all my fellow inebriants for there support in my time of quiet desperation, thank you for reminding me there is always someone more drunk than I am, thank you for keeping me smiling with your terribly embarrassing faces you make when I point the camera in your direction. Just thank you for being worse off than me... I love you all.

Greeks Do It Better
I first need to come right out and say it... I have never attended Easter celebrations with your normal every day Christian folk. This is so mostly because I have never been invited before. But on the other hand I was invited for a Greek Easter and let me tell you it was a good time. The food to begin with was plentiful and delicious, the beer was flowing plenty (although i couldnt help but feel it was preparation for Cinco De Mayo because all we drank all day was Corona). The gambling was just as plentiful and i am proud to say i cam ein second place out of 16 players. And last and possibly the most entertaining was the dancing. The greeks may not be great dancers but my theory is: At some point in history realizing they were not the most rhytmic people they decided to create a dance that would be easily done in both a sober and an inebriated state, and so they came up with this....throw your hands up in the air slowly walk around bringing front leg back back leg front etc... Occasionally whistle or scream OOOOPAH!!! and when to tired to continue get down on one knee and clap. ( now i admit my jewish brethren took a similiar course but Easter is not about my people) So all in all good times were had by all especially those who managed to win the game of $20 high card. (yes it is exactly what it sounds like...pick a card highest card wins the pot) So enjoy the pics And Yasou (i think that is greek).
