art show

Its basically going to be a chili art show reunion of sorts. I'm really not in it for the people though. I am going to be more there for the tequilla and mexican food. So what you have to ask yourself when you contemplate going is, Are you a mexican or a mexi-can't.

a little more progess

still needs some work. some tweaks here and there and some what have yous.
