I remember fiesta broadway being a two day event with about 3-6 stages. there was a fair….and back when i was 6 or 7 the Army was not heavily recruiting.

Sigh, it did suck this year. I saw people waiting in line to get free diet cokes…like wtf.

There was no line at the MEtro booth…where I thankfully got some bus schedules.

“This years Fiesta sucked ass!!!”

Let’s see: free concert from Paquita la del Barrio, el Chapo de Sinaloa, and many others;
free family event with no admission charge, celebrating Mexican culture;
great food;
free give-aways from sponsors;

So, it’s not your cup of tea, does that make it suck?
I will never understand haters.

This is the first time I went to Fiesta Broadway. It was a good experience. But the main thing I went for is to support Grupo Folklórico Orgullo Mexicano. Did enyone see them? They performed on channel 22 stage on Broadway and 1st.

I never understood why people would wait in line for more than 45 minutes to spin a wheel or do something to get some cheap prize. I remember my co-workers going to Fiesta Broadway to work at the booths to give say a flimsy frisbee or miniature soap bars.

“I wonder if there’s a particular Hooters with that many Latinas, or if corporate put out a memo to all locations in the LA area to send their Latina employees to the event.”

Yeah, over at 960 S. Gerhart Ave in Commerce… erhh… wait, that’s Nicola’s. Sorry, wrong venue.

“I also noticed that this years fiesta had a heavy police presence. More so than last years.”

synonymous with the increased corporate presence?

The Hooters girls photo is funny. I wonder if there’s a particular Hooters with that many Latinas, or if corporate put out a memo to all locations in the LA area to send their Latina employees to the event. I’ve been to a few Hooters, you know, because it was just the nearest restaurant getting off the freeway…. I’ve only seen minority “hooters girls” on a token level.

I should have sold t-shirts that said: “I lined up for two hours and all I got was the Swine Flu”.
