This week's Flash Fiction Friday entry, starter sentence in blue: "The strange man dressed as Carmen Miranda walked into the bar and demanded to know who had taken his pet iguana."

But here, at Pete's, this same guy has walked into the bar every night for the past 3 and a half years, at PRECISELY...

Carmen Miranda, El Rio poster girl Once more of a locals/dyke bar -- though " Mango " still keeps the ladies coming (and coming) in droves -- over the years El Rio has turned into a popular spot for the PRB-swilling set who flock there night after night to see choice local bands and DJs ease them into the wee hours of the morning.
