Fiesta Broadway ~ Downtown

10:48 AM PDT on April 29, 2008

It was hot as hell on Sunday, but nothing keeps us Latinos from attending Fiesta Broadway year after year. Although waiting in line to spin for the chance to win silly prizes in 110-degree weather sounds stupid to some people, for others the wait was worth samples of simple green and shampoo. The line for fresh cow's head was my personal favorite. Mmmmmm...tacos de lengua!!!! And the kind firemen who attached a cool sprayer to the fire hydrant get mad props. Had us LA folks cooling off New York-style.
