Is it possible to have too much fun?
Sounds like fun. Does this event ever end with anything less than everyone totally wasted?

In Baja, the fun never ends...
Ever wonder how boulders get painted to look like frogs? (read Bernie's book).
Tequila is the energy source of the future!!!
No?
Well, How about : Tequila, it's not just for breakfast anymore!
No?
How about : Drink more tequila, 10,000 Aztecs can't be wrong!

Whole package with bus transportation is $80. http://www.museumofman.org/html/events_tequila.html
When I went to the first event, the ticket price for the lecture/tasting event only was about $12. We spent the night and had dinner at the Estero
Beach hotel, as well as breakfast the next morning (highly recommend the patio seating for breakfast).
You can email tequilafest@hotmail.com and ask. Adalberto Perez-Meillon has a San Ysidro post office box to send payments to.
