Keep May 7th Open
Most people know about the events of cinco de mayo that cause us in America (and nowhere else) to enjoy nachos, crappy beer, and distilled spirits that contain vermiculture, but what about siete de mayo? Ponder all of the great things to celebrate on the seventh:
1915: The British ship Lusitania is torpedoed by a German submarine off the Ireland coast; 1,198 people are killed, increasing sentiment in the United States to join World War I.
1945: German Nazi forces surrender unconditionally to U.S. General Dwight D. Eisenhower's army in Reims, France; the European phase of World War II officially ends the next day.
1960: Leonid Brezhnev becomes president of the Soviet Union.
1994: The masterpiece The Scream, by Norwegian painter Edvard Munch, is recovered undamaged nearly three months after it was stolen.
Those sound like can't-miss reasons to party if there ever was one. So keep May 7th open on your calendar and watch this space for time, theme, and RSVP information.
Cheers!
