I bought this lucha libre (Mexican wrestling) mask for Spooner at El Mercado in San Antonio. Before sending it to him, I put it to good use. This is my entry in the TWIST Fair photo contest -- if you submit a photo of yourself next to a TWIST poster, you get a chance to win a tote bag. Wish me luck. www.twistfair.com/
