Today is Alamo Day, in honor of the fallen heroes who died on March 6, 1836.

"One crowded hour of glorious life is worth more than an age without a name."

explain to me why i would get high or drunk and it will be a holiday.

really.....

Drink to the glory of their desperate struggle against a vastly superior Mexican army, and don't forget that in the end the US got Texas, New Mexico, and California.

ok....tequila it is.....

If you haven't seen the movie (The Alamo) with Billy Bob Thornton, you've got to rent it. It's Very good! Factual re-creation of the event, etc. Some of my friends worked on it.

I meant to give my friends credit...they're all in the "making of" video on the DVD so be sure to watch it, too:

Mick (Michael) Corenblith -- Art Director -- excellent set design
Tim Drnec -- Spider Cam owner/operator (you've got to see the cannon ball POV shot he does!)
Mark O'Kane -- Steadicam and A Camera operator. He's the best in Hollywood.
