| Guild Wars Event: Cinco de Mayo! |
|
|
|
Hello!
It is my pleasure to help spread the word about an event that we hope you all will attend.
Cinco de Mayo 2008 Coordinated, Hosted, and Catered by: The Guilds of [LaZy] Nation
Spring: the year breathes anew with life, festivals and rejoicing of warm days and starry nights. So too comes the annual recognition of the most celebrated holiday in the Southern Hemisphere of the Americas; Cinco de Mayo – the officially recognized date of Mexican independence from French taxation of property in Mexico. Today Cinco de Mayo is date which is celebrated throughout the Americas with the abundance of poured spirits including beer, ale and most notably Tequila.
It is appropriate then that the holiday be adopted and celebrated in the Guild Wars community. The Guilds of [LaZy] Nation are proud to adopt the holiday and host the first Guild Wars global event to celebrate Cinco de Mayo for all those who hail from the lands of Tyria, Cantha and Elona. The pyramid ruins and land of the Asurans most closely match the mystic theme emboldened in historic civilizations from the Southern Americas; including the Aztecs, Incas and Myans whose empires once bridged across the lands today known as Mexico.
So let the festivities begin and let the community prepare for The Nation of [LaZy] is about to unleash a festival for all to relish and celebrate in! Viva Cinco de Mayo!
Some of you may remember Oktoberfest? We hosted that as well. We will be giving out the same goodies as last time; Ale, Party Animal Items, Golds, Greens, Consumables, and much much more! We encourage you to join us and work on your Drunkard or Party Animal titles, courtesy of LaZy!

I'm only commenting because of the lack of correct information. Cinco de Mayo is a celebration of the Mexican victory over the French at the Bay of Puebla, May 5, 1862. It was part of the French invasion of Mexico.
According to the UCLA Center for the Study of Latino Health and Culture "The holiday, which has been celebrated in California continuously since 1863, is virtually ignored in Mexico."
Mexican Independence day is September 16.
But good luck, have fun, and nice idea to bring the GW community together.

Well if you go to this site and than look at the time of your capital city, you can compare it a little.
My capital city is Amsterdam and I live in GMT +1. So for me the event would be at 21:00/9pm.
I hope this works for you.

This event sounds awesome, I read the Wiki page and it seems like it would be a lot of fun so I guess you can count me in. I always play on the weekend more than the weekdays (because of school) so I'll probably be on all Saturday.
