D(r)unk Tank at Loco Patron
Sunday, May 9, 2010 by Dana.
For Cinco de Mayo, there was a great celebration at Loco Patron in Ahwatukee. They had a giant inflatable slide and dunk tank for the kids to play in outside while the adults watched the basketball game and/or socialized with Mexican brews and Margaritas. That was a lot of fun, and we went back for even more fun.
Karen grabbed her bikini for the return to Loco Patron, and then volunteered for the dunk tank. Given her condition, we can call it a drunk tank. Whatever we call it, she made $50 in 10 minutes ($1/throw), and they let her keep all of it… which covered our expenses for the night! You rock, Karen!
