Default Cinco de Mayo 'party'?!!!

I just came back from the SS Cinco de Mayo 'party'. What the hell?!! Dead silence for 15 minutes, then they finally get the first bunch of dancers on. Another 20 minutes of dead silence and then they bail on the next 'belly dancers' act. Hard to understand what possible "technical difficulties" went on for that to happen. If you were there with friends I guess you may not have noticed, but as a single person looking for entertainment, it was BAD!!! Sorry for the rant and hope most of you enjoyed it more than I did.

You confirmed my thoughts too. We left after about 30 minutes and wound up in Wildwood Mexican Restaurant

Maybe they were getting too old? After being here about 5 1/2 years I can't take the Belly Dancers or Twirlers or Stilt Walkers anymore. It was "cute" the first few times but after ...... meh.

That is too bad, usually they put on a good show. Who was the band down there. The last time I saw the belly dancers they were down to 3 dancers and I am not sure they could all walk. Anyway, what else did they have going on, we’re the food trucks there, anything else. Sorry I was not enjoyable.

They were giving a tour to prospective apartment dwellers so the noise had to be kept down to not scare them away.

If they collect their hearing aids before the music they would not know the difference

I had already eaten so I didn't look to see if there was food, but I saw booths with stuff to buy and VERY LONG lines at the alcohol huts. Don't know the band name, but pretty sure they were playing mexican music. Only heard one song before the crazy situation waiting for dancers, than I left.
