Mexican, German and Chinese food. Complete with overpriced American money-dispensing Machine. Or that's a Chinese ATM. Couldn't tell which.

Took this in downtown Los Angeles over the weekend. It's a giant advertisement for German Beer, but it's using Mexican images. Huh?

Went to the Calaveras County Celtic Festival, a mish-mash of everything Celtic, American and renaissance. Yet another example of how Americans adopt so much from other cultures and call it their own. Actually, this guy is more of a character from a Conan movie than from Celtic culture, but when you are drinking Guinness all day, who really cares? eh?

Here, Jazz trumpeter Michael Mooney plays an American folk song with the Sonora group "The Black Irish Band." Wow, I'm confused just writing that.

This is the band Culann's Hounds from San Francisco. They play a mix of punk, American folk, French Folks and some Celtic-type songs, yet everyone called everything they did "Irish." God Bless America.
