May 2, 2006 was the first day I wrote for Filipina Soul, and my first foray into blogging. I can’t believe it’s already (only?) been two years! Filipina Soul wouldn’t have been a success, and a fun place to blog if it weren’t for our readers - YOU. Thank you for reading, following, and interacting with us.

It’s my 2nd year anniversary as a blogger for b5media, and for Filipina Soul. YEY happy birthday to me! (although I really did miss it, since my first post was May 2, 2006).

Okay, here is the line-up for Saturday, May 17th. Two weeks ago, Jack LeVine and I were joking that May is the busiest month for events and the first weekend in May was a whirlwind of activity. But this Saturday will definitely be the official winner of cool May events.

The Great Depression is now 70 years gone and its hard, sometimes for us to imagine just how hard those times were. Banks failed and took people’s life savings with them, men and women lined up for food from soup kitchens and in bread lines. Men took to riding the rails in search of jobs.

Stop laughing. It's true. In fact, May is Historic Preservation Month in Nevada. This week is Historic Preservation Week in Las Vegas. We have two Classic Las Vegas Roadshow events this week and on Saturday we are part of Cultural History Day.
