We're sad to address that we don't accept an Ask a Mexican cavalcade this week, as biographer Gustavo Arellano has hit an application snag; he larboard the OC Weekly somewhat, um, accidentally and the advertisement owns the absorb on his column. As he explained it via email: "The Mexican has been abandoned from his job at OC Weekly because he didn't appetite to lay off bisected his staff. But, like any acceptable Mexican, he'll acknowledgment abutting ceremony with some news. In the meanwhile, adore a bacanora for him, porfas!" ¡Hasta pronto, Gustavo!
