What's so good?
By Lauren Sloss | May 4th, 2012
Guys: this weekend is going to be serious. Because Cinco de Mayo, a holiday that gives you a great reason to wear a sombrero and drink tequila (or maybe that’s just another Saturday for you, in which case, awesome!) is on the same day as the Kentucky Derby, a day that gives you a great excuse to wear pastels and drink bourbon (see the previous parenthetical aside).
So get into it! Drink a julep and a margarita! Pair a mustache with your seersucker! And get in the mood by listening to awesome Southern-inspired blues rock and Latin music (okay, that’s my every day).
Don’t question the magic. Just give in to the Derby de Mayo.
