Since this misunderstood holiday falls on a Tuesday this year, it’s not really a star-studded lineup tonight, but that’s OK. You just wanted to drink anyway. Just please, please, resist the urge to don sombreros and thick, black mustaches. You got comedy, fiestas, music and dancing to choose from. Be grateful. Don’t culturally appropriate yourself into an embarrassing situation.
