perfect storm
There's a lot going on tomorrow.
First of all it's Cinco de Mayo, meaning every Mexican restaurant in town will be full of white people drinking Coronas and ordering Chimichangas with faux Mexican accents. Damn white people.
But if that weren't enough, tomorrow is also the Kentucky Derby, meaning preppy types all over the state will be celebrating the "three most exciting moments in sports history" by drinking mint juleps and spilling cocktail sauce on their khakis. Damn preppy types.
Aaand finally tomorrow is Free Comic Book Day. FCBD is usually scheduled to coincide with the release of big comic book movies (Spider-Man 3 opens tonight) and anticipates throngs of non-comic book readers, inspired by seeing super heroes on the big screen, flooding into comic book stores where they'll be greeted by a handful of free books offered by various publishers. In most cases it's just an opportunity for nerds to pick up some free books and stand around and sniff at the occasional "civilian-types" that walks into the shop. Damn nerds.
Have a nice weekend everybody!
