We got our "mexican nite out" gang back together for Sharon's visit this time. Last year we all got together and hit Two Amigos in Highland Square, Akron, but they're getting LOUSY reviews under their new ownership (employees walking out, owners getting drunk, etc). So this time we decided to visit El Rincon, which Brett and I had never been to before. Food was alright, pretty typical of the cheaper mexican joints. But as you can see, we had alotta fun!
First we start with Shannon and John. Hm, I often get that look when I bring out the camera! And note the margaritas - I blame them for some of the pics you'll see shortly.
Daaaaamn girl! Them's some tig ol' bitties!
Brett being tackled by Shannon!
Michele and Brett. Oh. Hm. Maybe not the most flattering pic of Michele? Oopsie! Seriously though, I know what she's doing. We have a problem with chips. Put them anywhere on the table, and we'll proceed to give ourselves a belly ache. That's what she's working on right now - guaranteed! We'll even gripe about being so full once we've finished the appetizer chips and main meal, and then ask for "just one more bowl of chips please" to really do ourselves in well!
[Note: upon closer inspection I see she's actually eating dinner at this point...so maybe it's not really a chip she's munching on?]
Michele and John. Can you tell they have a secret they're starting to share? (Hint: They're already married - so that's not it!)
Jeez Sharona - knock off the zombie act! (And that's Justin behind her - MUCH better behaved than Sharon!)
Michele and Brett again. They sat across from me, so why aren't there more flattering pics of them!? Maybe because I see these two ALL THE TIME - no need to get more photos!? (That's gonna cost me later!)
And to my left we have TomKat, er, MayorKat, ah, The Mayor and Kathryn, um....man, I can't think straight with those alluring and hypnotic stares!
Yeah Kat, sorry, I can't help ya here - I have NO IDEA why you let him out of the house either. You have my sympathy!
Oooh la la!!! Getting a little ear action here! And you can see the married hand of The Mayor reaching around to restrain his wife! (And since she's preggers, she can't blame this sort of activity on the margaritas!)
Now I feel like he's stalking me or something....
Say cheeeeese Sharon! No no - THIS way!
Dude, you can be SUCH a guy sometimes!!! There's nothing lady-like about you when it comes to manners, I swear. You're grossing me out! ;-)
Awwwww....Justin puts up with a picture while Sharon hams it up!
Shannon working on a chip... John just being well behaved.
There's a story behind this picture. It was just a few months ago probably when Brett was having fun making Coke-aritas at home. He was trying to figure out just the right mix of Coke and margarita mix, and proceeded to get wasted. Reeeeeally. Since he was being so giggly and had little sense of right and wrong at the time, I figured we needed to share the fun - so I had him drunk call Sharon's voicemail. She saved it. Brett got to listen to it while at dinner. Must've been good!!
Shannon and John must've been inside paying while the rest of us were prepping to pose for a group shot. This is me and Sharon having a little fun while we wait. She's the one who had someone walking by use her camera to get ALL of us, so I'll have to wait and see that when she sends me her pics.
STILL waiting on John and Shannon... I know they decided they'd had a bit too much to drink (so we drove them when we all went to Handel's for ice cream) - and I think Shannon was inside buying a bunch of candy in her tipsy state. (Wow Michele - is that a...a KATE SPADE purse!?!?! WOW! NICE! ;-)
Seems like neither of the John's made it into too many pictures - sorry guys!
Was definitely fun gang - will have to do it again soon!

Wow, Blogger really let you do some photo posting tonight!
The photo of Brett on the cellphone? How adorable and hot can one man be? Don't tell him that - it might go to his head.
LOL
margaritas, mexican food and ice cream? I want the Prevacid franchise in your neighborhood.
ROFL!! The margaritas weren't good enough to finish one. I'm not a huge margarita drinker ANYHOW, but these were like slushies that suddenly turned to pure liquid, and WOW was the tequila overwhelming in them!
And surprisingly, it was a good dietary nite - even with the dairy! I was a good boy - I ALMOST went for the big sampler platter, and opted to just get the taco, enchilada, rice and beans. I don't usually behave like that!
And yeah, not only did Blogger let me post a lot of photos, it let me do it FAST! Just when I think I'm ready to give it up....
I'm finicky about margaritas, good tequila, fresh juices and Grand Marinier instead of Triple Sec. They have to be shaken with cracked ice and the glass needs to be rimmed with kosher salt. Most of all I want to taste the tequila, but not be knocked on my ass by it. They're not doing me any favors by loading up a drink with cheap tequila.
oh i LOVE the pics! that was such a fun night, and everyone was NOT that much more behaved than me...don't mislead everyone! And I do not gross you out! :)
I am shocked that we're not using this blog to promote frozen mango margaritas. Shocked, I tell you. Let me go have another....
In other words: right on the mark Steven!
Sharon, were the titties in question yours, then?
Wow, Jeph...it looks like you know how to party it up! :)
Brett's a really good-looking guy :)
See Jeph? Even the straight women love Brett. Do you ever tell him exactly how hot he is?
Oh, yes, he is hot! Especially that one of him and the cell phone :)
Peter and Brenda -
I'll be sure to inflate my bf's ego considerably more after work tonite!! He's going to love all of this! LOL
Sharon -
Yes you're totally gross. Hello! Hanging food out of your mouth!? Boobies!? (Yup Peter, those were hers!) And those margaritas? The most fun part was topping off your glass with the remnants of mine every time you turned away (even though I did get busted).
Steven -
We've made some really good margaritas at home for our Cinco de Mayo parties (which usually happen en Septiembre or around then - just for fun!). Now I don't go so far as doing all real fruit juices, but I have been know to pull out a bag or two of frozen strawberries if we go that route. Usually it's just the standard flavor...
what's so difficult about fresh lemon and lime juice? Sheesh.
oh my god i wondered why the hell i was getting tipsy so fast! you EVIL EVIL MAN! you just want to get me drunk so i can seduce your boyfriend. you know he wants some of those titties :)
"those" or "these"? LOL
Is that all it is Steven? I have to be honest - to me, margaritas have usually be a bottle of Jose Cuervo margarita mix, extra tequila, triple sec, ice and the blender. (Oh yeah, did I mention I prefer 'em blended? Sorry...I know, blasphemy!)
