Title: Anyone know what the hell is going on in downtown San Jose right now?

Anyone know what the hell is going on in downtown San Jose right now? There's road blocks EVERYWHERE and you can't get into the down town area. I had to show proof I lived downtown to a cop just to turn to try to enter Taylor. Anyone know anything?

Oh I remember last years road blocks, it was horrible.  I have yet to understand why people in the US do so much for cinco de mayo.  Really? Unless you are from Puebla, there is really no reason for you to be all crazy about it.  People say is an excuse for people to drink, but when did we mexicans need a reason to drink.  I mean we fix roofs for our neighbors and instead of money we ask for a case and a half ;D

Yeah, I'm Irish.  Wanna talk about St. Patrick's Day?  People will use ANY excuse to party, it's hillarious really.
