Hi there! I am easing back into the swing of things kind of slowly here. Fortunately, for those of you raring to go and explore, there's a lot of festivities this weekend.

First of all, it's the bicentennial celebration of Mexican Independence Day, and even though Mexico is not in the best of shape right now it's still doing its best to observe the date.

Also going on this weekend: the International Tequila Fest in Las Vegas and the Golden Stilt Contest in Belgium.

For the nomads: I don't know if the U.S. has any Cineroleums yet, but it's definitely something that needs to happen, especially in cities like Detroit and Cleveland. The UK version is already sold out for weeks, it seems!
