By the way, I know I’ve been slacking with the blogging lately.   I let it fall by the wayside in an effort to get ready to go to Baltimore and run the marathon there, but now that I finished I am back to San Diego and also martini drinking (actually that never really stopped) and writing about things I ridiculous and/or awesome. 

Anyway, in case you were curious, the marathon went really well (in a marathon sort of way- I didn’t die and finished in a time I liked) and this year it actually looks like the photographers managed to get a few pictures of me that were actually decent (normally being shot from the ground up when I am in pain results in photos where I look like I am about to pass out gut first).  Feel free to check them out and maybe even buy some wallet size. 

Plenty of things seem to be annoying me this week so I should be posting more frequently from here on out…

While I was looking at things to do this weekend, I came upon the following:

The Tequila Festival and Expo is returning to Tijuana, BC MX on October 12 through 19 at the Revolution Avenue. The festival is an exciting and culturally intense event because its main focus is on educating visitors on, and tasting the many different types of tequila in Mexico.

Five Star Tours is providing one of a kind tours to the annual Tequila Expo in Tijuana, MX. The Tequila Expo is an event where participants will have the opportunity to taste and savor over 100 different tequilas from different parts of Mexico. You will also learn how to distinguish by taste, smell and color what makes very good tequila. You can also buy and import all tequilas on sight for your pleasure at your home or wherever it may lead. The Tequila Expo Tour will be one of the best tours you’ll ever take this side of the border.

Upon boarding a tequila expert will teach you the history of tequila and how to be able to distinguish certain tequilas by different factors. We also have an opportunity to taste tequila on board the bus! The tequila expert will give the best tips on how to find Tequila bargains.

We will cross the border and proceed to the Expo. There you will go leisurely to taste, sample, learn & buy the tequilas of your choice. Remember it is UNLIMITED Tequila Tasting at its Finest!

Also, you will have free time to do shopping & have lunch at your own leisure (lunch is not included)

Now, I am not one of those people that turns pale and dry-heaves when peoeple mention tequila, but I will admitt that most nights that involve tequila shots for me don’t really end in going to be with a glass of warm milk (especially if the nigh also does not include food).  I can only imagine what an entire Tequila Expo would do.  There’s an attempt there to class up the idea of pounding tequila by calling the whole thing a tequila “education” and bringing a tequila “expert,” but really isn’t this just going to end the same way?  (Also, how do you become a tequila expert?  Years and years of tequila school?)   The statement that, “You can also buy and import all tequilas on sight for your pleasure at your home or wherever it may lead” really doesn’t make me feel any less uneasy about this whole thing… since the only place tequila has lead me to before was passing out in a park and playing fake guitar at a kareoke bar (see below). 

Anyway, I just wanted to make a short note of it before I headed off to work.  Is anyone planning on going?  Does anyone else think that this is pretty much the worst idea ever?
