Sneaky Bastard

I went to the Día de los Muertos exhibits last Sunday at the Museum of Ventura County. They had some fantastic art on display, a dance performance by Danza Azteca Cuauhtemoc of Ventura. There was tons of stuff for kids, like sugar skulls and tissue paper flowers. I couldn’t resist getting my face painted. I haven’t yet been to a huge street festival in Mexico, but one day I will. Something about the tradition calls to me. I took a whole bunch of pictures, but none of them really came out well. It coincided with my birthday, which was fun. My folks came down, and we had a fun afternoon with peanut butter birthday cake and The Sarah Silverman Program. God, I love that show so much, I just want to smash it!

Here are some pictures from the event. More are posted on my Google Picasa page.

The Marcel Marceau figure cracked me up. Apparently French mime artists are all the rage these days.
