The 3rd Annual Cinco de Mayo: A FANTASTIC TIME WAS HAD BY ALL

Only this year it was a Cinco de Diez. It rained and rained, but that didn't stop anyone from enjoying the shindig held at the home of Tom and Cathy Flynn. There was a keg of beer. Luke Rolfes made hot dog hieroglyphics, three people (Cathy Flynn, Bronson Lemer, and Jessica Benjamin) took creepy cheerleaders home with them, Alex Phillips brought 6 pounds of pork, Antoinette Cole's dance moves did not disappoint anyone. And Bryan Johnson showed up wearing this:
