Mike and I didn’t really get into Halloween this year. Oh sure, we dressed sesame up as a batbaby and went to the Kennedy School where she got some candy and we got beer and then ate her candy.’ We didn’t put up decorations or even carve pumpkins and I usually love pumpkin carving!
If the picture below looks blurry around the edges, it’s not just you. Someone smeared her grubby little fingers on the camera lens. It gives it kind of a Holga effect, don’t you think?
To make up for our lack of Halloween spirit, we celebrated Dia de los Muertos and had so much fun! We went to the Someday Lounge and decorated the sugar skulls in the picture above. Lots of people and kids were dressed up and had their faces painted for the occasion. Sesame and I both wore pink and black knee socks with skulls but they didn’t make it into any picture. Then we went on a parade around downtown and through the North Park Blocks.’ 
Our procession was led by an awesome samba group called the Lions of Batacuda (video link) and as the Someday Lounge aptly put it, they are a marching band fit to raise the dead. It was great fun, even though we got caught in a downpour during the procession.” Then it was back to Someday Lounge for a dance party on the sidewalk and hot cocoa inside.
we were going to go to that! but then lulu puked (see blog). ah well. maybe we’ll meet you there next year.
looks like it was a blast!
