| Young Singer Wows Audience at Brownsville Event Center Monday Night
The opportunity to sample food from two dozen Brownsville eateries doesn't fully explain the popularity of the Taste of La Frontera event held at the Brownsville Event Center Monday night. Many are there to see and be seen.
Obviously, candidates for public office mingle through the crowd, shaking hands or, like Lali Betancourt, face the incoming crowd like an official greeter.
Jerry Danache, a Matamoros attorney and member of the Tamaulipas Chamber of Commerce, graciously offered Nena and I seats at his table, introducing us to Carlos A. Rios, a young man contemplating a run for a local office.  I left Nena for a few minutes to stretch my legs and tour the room, running immediately into the always congenial Mariano "Bean" Ayala, head of the Brownsville Convention and Visitor's Bureau. "Jim, can you believe I've survived two forms of cancer?" Bean asked rhetorically, pointing heavenward.  Port of Brownsville Trustee Ralph Cowen beckoned while leaning against the wall: "I started this event years ago. I can't believe how its grown," he told me. "It looks like you've outgrown this venue," I responded. "Actually, this is the biggest venue in town, unless we go outside," Ralph answered.  Dr. Antonio Vasquez grabbed my arm: "Are you still writing?" he asked, words not exactly reassuring to a blogger. Later, we ran into his wife, Judge Estela Chavez-Vasquez, getting what looked like a final fitting for her Charro Days outfit in the lobby. "I don't believe we've ever actually met," said County Judge Eddie Trevino, the exact conversation starter he used at Cobbleheads over a year ago. "I've been following your efforts to homeschool your grandson," offered City Commissioner Ben Neece. "I respect you for that. I don't think I would have the time for that or the patience."  Even more surprising was the request of disgraced politico, former County Commissioner Ernie Hernandez: "Jim, I'm running for Port Commissioner. I'm available for an interview. Call me." |

Ernie the human cockroach crawls out of the woodwork once again. shopping around at the corrupt port for a bite of the leftover LNG pizza? I'm available for an interview? funny. What about the food?
ReplyDeletePer the common practice, Tetreau wore the most ridiculous, almost obscene clothing of the evening.
ReplyDeleteYou're about as sharp as a pound of wet leather Jim so oblige me while I give you some home schooling. The reason that Adela stopped by to say hello is because she thinks that bloggers make a difference in a campaign. She's too dumb to know otherwise. The reason that Bean Ayala told you that he had beat two forms of cancer was to let you know that there are more important things in life than your blog. The reason Cowan took full credit for the event is because he's insecure and has nothing else to do. The reason Alex Dominguez was nice to you was because he walks the higher road and doesn't really care about what you write. Finally, the reason Eddie Trevinio makes it appear as if he's never met you before is because he ostensibly doesn't care about what you write....but he really does. He's just arrogant.
ReplyDeleteSomeday bloggers will come to realize that blogs are read for entertainment and to get just one person's perspective and that bloggers are insignificant unaccomplished people trying to be significant. Run for office Jim. Make a difference.
ha ha. on adela, check; on ayala, eh. ayala is a self promoter and the cancer thing gives his incompetency convenient cover and lots of sympathetic awwwwws. on cowen, check. if you got to tell someone you're someone then you're probably just trolling for a parking lot blow job. dominguez doesn't walk the high road; he just sends others to do low road work. instead of wearing a fucking apricot scarf, he needs to roll up his sleeves and show more nuts if he's going to knock over fat Oliveira. on Trevino, check. the dude has a toilet plunger sticking out his ass and thinks no one sees it and he has thin skin and gets irritable bowels when he reads the blogs in the toilet, plus no one believes a word coming out of that ratface. and finally bloggers do make a difference, just not as much as some think they do.
DeleteIts the roach Hernandez, criticizing everyone but his own name left out. Why were you arrested again Ernie remember doing the perp wslk on the news getting arrested. Channel 4. Made all the headlines. When you took your daughter down too we remember
