Celebrate Dieciocho de Mayo With Tacos Tonight

11:47AM ON 05/18/2009
BY Matthew Lawrence

The weather completely blows right now, and it’s particularly annoying because right now we could all be on a love boat to the Bahamas with New Kids On The Block, but if there’s any chance of you leaving the warmth (or coldth) of your home tonight there’s two events on the West Side you might want to check out.  Conveniently, they’re also only about a block apart:

Gabrielle Bell (author of Lucky and Cecil & Jordan in New York) and Ron Rege (Against Pain and Skibber Bee-Bye) will be reading at Ada Books (717 Westminster St) at 7. [Beth already posted about this yesterday, but, you know, subtle re-enforcement never hurts.]

On your way there, you should stop by WestSide Arts (745 Westminster St) for Tacos For Casas.  Ten bucks gets you access to all the vegan and meat tacos you could dream of; all proceeds from that event are going to build houses in Mexico.  Even better, it starts at 4 and runs until 10pm, which means that you could have your thirdmeal and your fourthmeal in one place.
