Cinco de Mayo Outdoor Fiesta

dumbworldorder — Fri, 30 Apr 2010 14:05:07 +0000

Looking for a 2010 Cinco de Mayo Celebration in Sacramento?

They are doing their yearly Cinco de Mayo celebration/festival on the 2700 block of J street again this year (includes Centro Cocina Mexicana and Harlowes). If you haven’t been before, it is a huge party (go early to get in, or stand in line for awhile). Starts at 4pm on May 5 till they shut it down. There will be live music, a mariachi band and outdoor bars.

Tickets for the event will be $15 pre-sale and $20 at the door, and can be purchased inside Centro Cocina Mexicana at 2730 J Street. And watch your parking because the po-po’s will be out in force this year enforcing parking violations.

Also, Zocolo’s is starting on May 3rd with a Tequila Festival, and celebrating all week. And don’t forget Hanger 17. A good spot, a good crowd (not so many people that you get a drink or can’t get in), good drinks and there usually isn’t a cover.

We slept on this because that is what we do best, but for an independent filmmaker out of Sacramento to get theatrical distribution is a pretty impressive accomplishment. Congratulations Deon! I can’t think of any others off the top of my head. If you know of any, let me know.

Sacramento filmmaker Deon Taylor is on the verge of a huge breakthrough: a national theatrical release for his horror film, “Chain Letter,” that was filmed here.

Saw a poster for this (Banksy’s Exit Through the Gift Shop) and was intrigued. Sorry, Sacramento hasn’t been deemed cool enough to get a showing.

Dumbworld Asks, What is Good Music to Workout To?

My favorite for now are the Mad Decent Worldwide Radio podcasts, and they are free. It’s been described as NPR for the streets.

There are some interviews, but for the most part it is music, and it’s hard to describe what type of music it is, like you will hear the Ying Yang Twins mixed with The Eurythmics mixed with electronica.

Also there is music from all over the world, New Orleans, Africa, Israel, just to name a few places. They are available on iTunes or here. Mad Decent Worldwide Radio.

What music do you like to workout to?
