Sometimes, the eve of an event eclipses the event itself. For many American families, Christmas Eve has become a bigger event that Christmas Day. Many people feel socially defined by what they do on New Years Eve, but it is much more rare to hear talk of what people are doing New Years Day. Halloween was established as the eve of All Saints Day (hallows eve). I’ve been to a lot of great Halloween Parties, but I can’t tell you that I’ve ever been to a bitchin’ All Saints Day party.
I would like you to think about this today, the Eve of Cinco De Mayo. Just because the big day is tomorrow doesn’t mean you can’t let loose a little tonight. While it may not be realistic yet that CDM Eve would eclipse the holiest of all burrito days, it’s a good idea to at least try to have a little fun with it.
To celebrate the holy day, I will be headed to New Orleans. Unfortunately, the po’ boy is king down there, and I have missionary work to do to try to spread the word of the burrito. Converting people is not easy work, but if you want to start a revolution, you need to be willing to roll up your sleeves. I’m sure when I’m there that I will be longing to get back to the Burrito Capitol of the USA, Chicago.
Until next time……..
