Get the espa mug.by Mental565 May 13, 2005
Get the Espa mug.Mos Espa is one of few port cities on Tatooine, born out of the desert and built piece by piece over many years. Domed buildings protect the citizens against the glare of the twin suns and the scorching heat. Among the dwellings, workspaces, and commercial operations of many bizarre kinds there are also entertainment areas, including some of colossal scale. The famed Mos Espa Grand Arena can can hold an audience almost as large as the city's entire population.
Most of Mos Espa's inhabitants are settlers and subsistence earners who scratch out a meager living as best they can. The only real wealth in Mos Espa is tied up in gambling and off-world trade, especially in the lucrative black market beyond the trade laws and controls of the galactic government.
In the time of the Republic, slavery persisted in Mos Espa, though the despicable trade was outlawed elsewhere. An entire section of the city's outskirts had been transformed into a Slave Quarter. Live slaves functioned more as prestige possessions than cheap laborers, and owners parted with them only reluctantly. Slaves could even find themselves used as capital in business transactions. The true powers in control of Mos Espa were the Hutt gangsters, who found slavery a useful institution for their purposes, and Tatooine's remoteness allowed them to practice their illegal ventures.

Get the Mos Espa mug.On the outskirts of Mos Espa was an immense venue for watching the popular Boonta Eve Classic Podrace. Over one hundred thousands beings filled the Mos Espa Grand Arena to capacity during the annual event. They filed into the grandstand seats, crowded into broad viewing platforms or clustered into the upper tiers to catch a glimpse of the high-speed spectacle. For a modest fee, spectators could rent hand-held viewscreens which displayed images recorded by fast-flying Podrace holocams tracking the race. From a distance, the arena's seats looked to be a flowing tapestry of color, as race-fans from all throughout the Outer Rim Territories congregated. Alien food vendors roamed the crowds, offering exotic wares, bands both amateur and professional tootled race themes and popular melodies to cheer on their favored pilots, fans brandished flags bearing their racer's emblems.
The wealthier of Mos Espa's residents and guests could afford private viewing boxes separated from the rest of the rabble. The Toydarian junk-merchant Watto hosted viewing parties for his friends and gambling partners. The most opulent of viewing boxes was reserved for the ruling Hutts, particularly Jabba the Hutt, who hosted the Boonta Eve Classic.

Get the Raúl Esparza mug.An AWESOMETASTIC J-Rock band formed September 9, 1999 by Karyu, the guitarist, after the bassist got him ridiculously hammered. The band has had a number of successes, including several tours in Europe and joining the RTOC tour in 2008 with a bunch of ghei bands, WAY beneath their level. D'espairsRay will be celebrating their 10-year-anniversary this year, hopefully unlike the last, in which Karyu looked as if he was about to puke all over everthing.
<b>D'espairsRay is:</b>
<b>HIZUMI</b> (vocalist)-- who posts blogs non-stop about the weather, bugs stalking him, and alien movies that make him go "tense". He's secretely a viking hamster who loves tobasco sauce, as shown from their show in Ruisrock and Wacken Open Air.
<b>Karyu</b> (guitarist/Fagman)-- who speaks in a strange, elusive manner, like a dying person attempting to give the protagonist in a crappy, high-budget movie info before they die. His nose is HUMONGOUS and very much beanpole-like.
<b>ZERO</b> (bassist)-- also know as the internet-addicted, picture-whoring Slutface. Slutface never gets off the intarwebs, and posts around 10 blogs a day on 3 different websites, posting pictures of his underwear, butt, and naked thigh.
<b>TSUKASA</b> (drummer)-- known as Mufasa, the drunk hick-farmer boy who can't farm worth a damn. The man can drink vodka out of a bottle, but gets a stomach-ache if he drinks coffee, while singing enka about Karyu's cat (from the radio station, Maniac Station).
Unlike most Japanese artists, the vocalist does not sing in that horrible, nasaly tone that makes you want to give them a tissue. Their live shows are 1000x better than the recording, and their fans (called Mania) aren't complete douchey douchebags... excpet for a few elitist Fan Club bitches who flaunt all their FC-only stuff, but refuse to show other fans when aksed politely.

Non-fans: If you don't listen to D'espairsRay, then you are missing out on incredible music... and the lulz!
Mania (nickname for fans): If you like D'espairsRay, then you live in DK, "D'espairsRay Kingdom", the happiest place on earth! :DDD
