This year The Boston Pops are accompanied by Little Big Town, Demi Lovato and Nick Jonas. Performances conclude before the fireworks which start at 10:30 p.m. so either get down to the Hatch Shell, tune in on the TV or set your DVRs so you can see the annual celebration.

Cinqo de Gayo

gay, I’m not sure how today became an excuse for excessive drinking, but if I could remake the holiday, I’d brand it as Cinqo de Gayo and use it as an excuse to have Eliad Cohen parade around shirtless in a sombrero.

I realize Eliad has no connection to Mexico, but I feel like that isn’t really an issue. Who do I petition to get this a nationally recognized holiday in the US?

If you happen to celebrate it

Easter BunnyHave a fabulous Easter and try not to fill up on all those candied eggs.
