VanillaSkyGirl 6 #1 October 24, 2005 Day of the Dead or Dia de los Muertos is an interesting celebration. It is meant to be a day of rememberance of our loved ones, who have died. I once went to an underground Dia de los Muertos happening that was an art gallery opening (dark Frida Kahlo-like paintings), fashion show and concert all in one. It took place in a huge warehouse and was incredible. The music was an all Mexican Taiko drum-playing band from L.A. (I made their costumes.) It was a very cool event! Is anyone planning to celebrate this? I don't normally celebrate Day of the Dead, but I was thinking that it would be nice to celebrate in honor of people who have passed away. Edited to add Spanish to the subject title. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shotgun 1 #4 October 24, 2005 QuoteIs anyone planning to celebrate this? I don't normally celebrate Day of the Dead, but I was thinking that it would be nice to celebrate in honor of people who have passed away. For the last few years, I have been wanting to have a Day of the Dead party at my house, but I am such a horrible planner that I never get around to it. This year, I even had a reminder set up for myself, but we're in the middle of buying a house so it's sort of a bad time. But if you know of any interesting events that are happening this year, please let me know, because I would like to go to something like that...
