I just reposted Que Fregados cool take on the MAMI CHULA's Beer-run, Ice House in Laredo, Texas; here, from last May 2010, a cinema verité snapshot by Rosalinda "Robert Capo" Nericcio, taken as we hightailed it out of the joint after our abbreviated filming.   Here's the original photo, and a detail:

A mad dash up to the gates of the Mami Chula Drive-In Beer Run in Laredo, Texas, from May 2010, with Bill Nericcio, author and ringleader of the Tex[t]-Mex Galleryblog. Our mad hopes of immortalizing a Laredo original is dashed by the muted, stern intervention of a beer vending manager.
