On March 2, 1836, Texas severed ties with Mexico and became a free and independent republic. It was a short-lived country: a little less than 10 years later Texas joined the Union. As any Texan will tell you, though, that streak of independence still runs strong and deep through our second-largest state. And that's something to celebrate wherever you find it.

on 3/28/2006 Head to your favorite Tex-Mex establishment with a patio at approximately 2 PM. Proceed to order margaritas of various flavors. Consume vigorously with chips, queso, and salsa. Discuss your various backgrounds (hopefully some with Mexican descent). Repeat this until dusk. At nightfall proceed to turn it up a notch and mix in tequila shots and dance on tables. Enjoy the Fiesta Dax!
