Mexican Independence!

Woohoo, so I went out with my gf this past weekend. On Thursday it was Mexico's independence day sort of. It's actually on the 16th but you know us Mexicans finding ways to celebrate early!
So on Thursday at 12am everyone does what is called, "El Grito" or if you want to be more historically correct, it's called the "Grito de Dolores". So basically a long time ago, this guy named Hidalgo rang a bell in the town of Dolores and gathered the townspeople to rebel against Spain's control over them.


So anyways! back to the fun parts of my weekend. On Thursday me and my girlfriend went to go eat at Chilis before we went out partying for the night. They had this awesome drink, although kind of on the fruity side, that we just kept ordering. Thank god we did though, because later on we found out the liquor at the place we were at was having no effect on us.

So after we ate and stuff I took my GF back to her place so she could fix her hair and other things so she could look pretty for me all night. We went to this new place called Bora Bar that had just opened up about a month ago. We had heard about this place before but never got the chance to drop by and see what it was like. Actually we did try once but for some reason it wasn't open.
So yeah...supposably they have this nice bongo show where the stage is just dedicated to people playing bongos for a certain amount of time. People go crazy on the dance floor and what not. But since it was Mexican Independence day... The whole dance floor was taken up by reservation tables. We ended up just walking around trying to find a decent open space to dance and drink in. It was just a blast being there with my changa. Usually one of us brings a friend along and it's just not the same. When it's just me and her, she can act dorky with me without having her mind set on pleasing her friend or what her friend is thinking about. Same thing with me.

So once the night began approaching 12a.m., The club/bar put up a countdown on their semi big screen on stage. Everyone was counting down while we tried to go and get a shot of tequila to drink for the Grito. The bartender guy took forever though and we missed it by like 10 seconds. =/
But I managed to take a snapshot of the mascot on stage waving the flag like crazy. We took our shot of Don Julio, I think that's what it was, and kissed each other while everyone else was still screaming "VIVA MEXICO!" I quickly grabbed her hand and pulled her towards the middle were I had taken the picture and tried to show her the mascot with the big flag. After the whole crazy yelling though the DJ went back on and put on some cool bongo type song and I just started dancing with my gf. It's funny because during that one song, her smile stood out big time. It would just make me super happy when I'd look up at her face smiling the way she was and danced even crazier and dorkier. It stood out way more then her other smiles that night I guess. I would have never gotten that smile if someone else was with us though =/


So after taking like 6 shots of tequila and some really gross drinks (I swear their bartenders don't know how to make anything!) they put on some mariachis for our entertainment! For about an hour and a half the mariachis were playing old school back in the old day songs that the whole freakin club knew. One thing about Mexicans is that they know every freakin popular song ever sung by anyone famous. No matter how ghetto or cheesey they are, they either know how to dance to it or sing the most important parts. ESPECIALLY WHEN DRUNK. So yeah I've warned you. We danced to a couple of those, even though I don't know how, and ended the night that way. My girlfriend kind of had to work tomorrow so yeah 2am was sort of late for her. We left Bora Bar at around 2:14am I think and I ended up getting to my place like at 4.
Whenever we go out, just me and my girlfriend, I always end up giving her some sort of back scratchies or massage before she goes to bed. I put on her jammies and tuck her in and all that stuff. Just in case you're wondering where the heck those 2 hours went, well now you know.

All n all it was fun and just for the record.... I love hanging out with my gf.
