I'm not sure where to begin.but, about 10 years ago my buddy NoName and I were walking around the Berryessa Flea Market when for some funny reason I wanted to go inside this little Mexican Cowboy store. As we walked in I saw them. Hanging on the wall, four radiant, slightly used Flaming Mariachi uniforms. They were all different in color, and each had its own special Flame-design. They were so beautiful. I Swelled up and NoName started to cry. The colors blended so perfectly, truly attire for a king or nobleman. I had to have them.

"Cuanto esta?" I asked.

"$19.99 each" he replied in perfect English.

After a long negotiation I was able to talk him down to $80 for all four. Things were not as glamorous as they are now back then, and NoName and I were about $70 short. I him asked to hold them for us. We'd be back next weekend.

To make a long and anxious week short, Saturday finally arrived and I woke up feeling like it was Christmas morning or something. I was so excited, probally the happiest time of my life. I was shortly going to become the proud owner of the Valley's sweetest threads. I felt like wearing clothes so splendid as these would surely make the elite notice. I was finally going to get the respect and attention I had lacked for so long. but they were sold.
