so i said chris lets go to the taco fest in east LA!
he said si so ali go tix and we tapped up our tap cards and took the red line to the gold line
and arrived at the 4th annual taco fest!
this was the beer garden.
yep.
after a few beers things started looking better but we werent there for beer
it coulda been a mirage but magically a tequila tasting appeared in the beer tent
but we werent there for tequila
we were at the Taco Fest for TACOS!
unfortunately so were thousands of people and only 8 taco tents.
so the lines were loco.
at the temps were super hot.
and the lines barely moved because apparently it takes forever to put meat on a taco
there were no lines to buy ice cream from the ringy dingy man
or talk to the wireless spokesmodel with tube socks
but we’ve been around the block a few times and weirdly ALL of LA has tacos.
so we split and drank some japanese white oak whiskey
and thought about how weird it was that the only place you couldnt have a beer while you ate tacos
WAS AT THE LA TACO FESTIVAL
so we went downtown to a place where you could play pinball and drink beer
a little place called 82 which is always packed at night, but in the day its air conditioned and lovely
your dad is even there and hes great at pinball
great call, Ali, thank you for taking us there
so after the beers and shots and more beers Ali wanted to show us something she learned in Venice
and we loved it.
