Easter Bonnet (and basket?) Night at Fridas, April 4

Be as creative as you want to be! JR is in town so watch out!

Bar Frida will hold the second annual Easter Bonnet Contest on Sunday, April 4, 2010!  (for photos from the event go to the gallery!)

Customers/Contestants are asked wear a bonnet of their choosing.  Be as creative as you want to be!   If it won’t fit under the low ceilings downstairs, you can enter through the rear and head straight for the balcony for a cool margarita!  Tom says, “If you’ve got a nice basket, bring that too!” 

Go simple and pretty or dramatic and splashy!  There are great supply stores within a block or two of Fridas where you can make yourself as pretty as, well, a new hat. Get there early! 9pm starts the contestant parade with judges awarding prizes to the best through the night.  How eggszzzciting!

Thanks for the toy donations!

from Paul Crist of Vallarta Enfrenta el SIDA, A.C.

Many, many THANKS to Tom, Luis, and everyone who donated toys! The Posada at the CAPASITS HIV clinic was yesterday, and it was filled with smiling, laughing, young faces because Christmas came early for a lot of kids living in families affected by HIV and AIDS! Tom and all at Frida: YOU ARE THE BEST!!!

Macho Vaquero Party

Abner, left with fellow bartenders Blanca and David.

While we are so happy for long-time bartender, Abner for finding the love of his life, we’re going to miss him at Bar Frida. But, before he ties the not right here at Bar Frida on July 18 during an invitation only wedding event, we’re throwing a shower for him on Tuesday, July 14 at 8pm. Join us if you can for a toast to one of the sweetest guys we’ve ever known. Lucky for us, he’ll be in nearby Tepic, where he’ll be joining his partner to live. I’m sure we’ll see him back from time to time.

If you know Abner, you know there is no replacing him. There is simply not another like him. All the best to he and his hubby to be! We love you!
