Like us, you’re probably just a regular person with a job, a dog, and an empty bank account, so this weekend won’t be a three-day bender chockablock with coke, caviar, and potentially criminal activity. But if you’re either sexy or desperate enough, you could try to con your way past…

If stalking were legal, my target would be Latin Burger and Taco. Actually, it already is, and I am hoping my constant ‘where-are-they-today’ search doesn’t lead to legal intervention.
