Friday night

Friday night I had another birthday party to attend and it turned out to be a blast. It was my friend Juan's birthday. We met for happy hour at El Publito off Richmond. It is really a fun place. We reserved a cabana and everyone squeezed in. Of course we had Mariachis to entertain us and sing Juan Happy Birthday. For those reading that aren't Texas please allow me to explain Texans obsession with Mariachis. Many Mexican restaurants in Texas have them on hand on busy nights. They are basically a small group of singers with various instruments such as guitars and maybe drums. They walk from table to table and take requests for songs and sing Happy Birthday and that kind of thing. Believe me, they make every party better. Ok, back to the party. Juan's sister Merci came in from Dallas which was great because I haven't seen her in forever. We were able to catch up a bit in between all of the cheers-ing and the other hoopla. We took a lot of pics and genuinely had a wonderful time.
