It's almost upon us! Saturday, May 5, on Pierson Boulevard between Palm and Cactus in Desert Hot Springs. Spicy food and hot music. The music is to be provided by artists who have interesting names: The Epoch Momentous!, Machin, Thoughts Contained, Soul Opus, Mack, Felix Nobody, Notepad [no longer a Microsoft product, I guess], "Sizzle" [their quotes] who are connected with the Boys & Girls Club, DJ Latin Kweenz [who are so retro you can find them on MySpace], and what kind of Salsa Blast would it be without Mariachi Serenata Mexicana?! If I have mangled any of those names, blame the graphics designer.

Prizes will be awarded for best hot, medium, mild, red, green, and fruit/specialty salsa. In addition there will be a People's Choice (please vote for your favorite grandma in Desert Hot Springs) and a judge's choice.

If none of that brings you to the Blast, how about this: Dean Gray will be the man in the dunk tank. He invites everyone to come dunk him. He says that those who want to remain anonymous can put paper bags over their heads. And what will the happy dunkers be throwing? I don't know, but Dot Reed will be around, so I'm sure there will be no stones.

One assumes that one must pay to get a throw at the dunk tank and that money ought to be going to something worthy.
