Last night was such a special evening! Not only were we celebrating our mom Teresita's 56th birthday (still young!), but we surprised her with a last-minute trip to Vegas and then surprised her again by taking her to see one of our childhood idols, the incomparable Gloria Estefan, perform a very special one-off show in Sin City.

The first concert we ever went to was Gloria Estefan and the Miami Sound Machine - 25 years ago! - in 1984 at the Dade County Auditorium in Miami.

We remember that show vividly! And, what made that experience so life-changing is that for her encore, Gloria performed her most iconic hit, Conga, and she invited anyone up onstage to do the Conga with her that wanted to. It was one big party, and OF COURSE Perezito - all of 6 years old then - totally ran up on stage and did the Conga with Gloria!

It was one of the most memorable moments of our life and we got to relive it last night!!!!

Gloria invited Perez AND his mom onstage to do the Conga with her!!!!!

What a way to celebrate mom's birthday!

SO special!

After the show, we got to introduce mom and the fam to Gloria and Emilio. Those two are royalty in Miami - and for Cuban people worldwide - and we still pinch ourselves every time we see them.

Growing up, Perez always used to think of Gloria as his aunt. The member in the family that "made it big" and was doing us proud! And, now, we know her for real (!!!) and she was able to help us make the birthday of our most important family member one of the most memorable she's ever had!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

P.S. We're totally getting our hands on video of Conga moment from last night!!!! Ha

Just another reason to love her!

Gloria Estefan is treating 2,000 lucky winners to her weekend concert in Puerto Rico.

Close to 17,000 Puerto Rican government workers in the country are being laid-off due to the recession. The country has a 15 percent unemployment rate, higher than any of the states.

Sad.

Gloria bought all of the remaining upper-level tickets to be raffled off to some of the laid-off employees.

How generous!

Que bueno!

Emilio Estefan., Grammy Award Winning music producer and husband of Gloria Estefan, was one of the appointed individuals by President Obama to be on the Commission to Study the Potential Creation of a National Museum of the American Latino.

Potential creation????? WTF????

That NEEDS to happen!

The museum, to be constructed in Washington D.C., is intended to celebrate Latino art, history and culture.

Obama says:

“I am pleased to appoint these outstanding men and women to the Commission to Study the Potential Creation of a National Museum of the American Latino – a museum that would be dedicated to celebrating the history and achievements of Latinos in America. It is fitting that, as we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, these individuals will reinvigorate the efforts of this commission to honor the contributions of Latinos and Latinas to our country.”

Felicidades, Emilio!

The stars came out in force Monday night to support the Miami Dolphins in their season opener against the Indianapolis Colts at the Miami Land Shark Stadium.

In attendance were the Dolphin's new part-owners, the lovely Gloria Estefan and her hubby Emilio Estefan.

Also at the game was Jennifer Lopez accompanied by her hubby, Marc Anthony.

The couple also became a minority partner in the Dolphins back this summer and it seems they're taking their new role seriously. In fact, Skeletor told reporters they just purchased a condo in Miami.

Says Anthony, "I bought a condo today in Miami. When we are through decorating the condo, it will be the sexiest place in town! We are not selling our homes in New York or Los Angeles, we are just adding Miami. Now that I am involved with the Dolphins, I am busy working and see a different set of stresses than I experience being a father. So I want to be close by. And we love Miami."

Also in attendance was new part-owner Serena Williams, her sis Venus Williams, Tiger Woods, Jimmy Buffett, Dan Marino, T-Pain, and others.

Though despite all the star power at the stadium, the Dolphins still managed to lose 27-23.

We hope all the new part owners didn't invest too much!

If only we were there!

A Perezicious reader informed us that Gloria and Emilio Estefan along with their entourage pulled up in a party bus (celebrating Gloria's birthday a few days early) at at Churchill's in Miami on Saturday.

As 90s rockers Vandal took the stage, Emilio helped the band out by playing the congos while Gloria cheered from the audience!

Caliente!

How awesome is this????

Gloria Estefan's Mi Tierra was transmitted Tuesday morning up to the Discovery space shuttle from NASA's ground control!!

The song was radioed to outer space for Mexican American Discovery crew member, flight engineer Jose Hernandez.

NASA also used the opportunity to honor Miz Estefan on her birthday!

Gloria turns 52 today!

Feliz Cumpleaños, chica!!!
