The Tamale Lady (a.k.a. Virginia Ramos) is celebrating her *ahem* not-35th birthday at Zeitgeist on Monday, June 15th from 6 to 8 p.m. Cecil D. Feeder is hosting the party and will be showing his documentary on the life and times of Our Lady of the Tamale.
Thanks to Sean Savage for the tip!

Snack! I’ll be in LA this coming Monday. That is so cool that she has made such an impact in the city – I will have to try and find her next time I’m up north.
Hope you guys have an especially great time. Happy Birthday Virginia, snack on!
Scotty — you don’t find her; she finds YOU.
And that’s why we all love her.
Great video. I live in Chicago and didnt realize there were other people doing this sort of thing. We have a Tamale Guy – his name is Claudio who goes from bar to bar selling tamales – and in an effort to help track him and his tamales down we created the Tamale Tracker(http://twitter.com/tamaletracker). It’s exactly what it sounds like; when people see the tamale guy out and about in the bars they send tweets to @tamaletracker which then a service retweets their message making it easy to find the tamale guy. I thought maybe you guys in San Francisco might be intersted so check it out; I opened up the service to be generic and anyone can create their own tracker through http://spotd.me.
