Dia de los Muertos

THIS PAST SUNDAY WAS THE ALL SOULS PROCESSION!

TUCSON  LOVES THIS HOLIDAY
WHICH MAKES ME LOVE TUCSON.

WARNING!!!
*THIS IS A VERY PICTURE INTENSIVE BLOG*
ENJOY!

MEADOW AND I WENT TOGETHER AND MET UP
WITH JANNELL, CRYSTAL AND FRIENDS.

IT WAS AWESOME TO SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE
CAME OUT IN FULL COSTUME!

CRYSTAL, JANNELL, BRIAN IN BACK, BRIANA, AND ALLI


MEADOW (MEOW)

ALLI, BRIANA, JANNELL, CRYSTAL, ME, AND MEOW

FULLY A FAMILY FRIENDLY HOLIDAY

THERE WERE SO MANY PEOPLE!
YOU COULD SEE SKELETON FACES HEADING
TOWARDS DOWNTOWN ALL OVER THE AREA!


STARTING POINT FOR US:  CLUB CONGRESS











THESE PEOPLE WERE DRESSED UP AS GIRAFFES
IN ORDER TO BRING ATTENTION TO THE REID PARK
ZOO'S RECENT DEATH OF WATOTO.  THEY WERE
TALKING ABOUT HOW IT WAS A COVERED-UP MURDER.







THIS GUY'S BALD HEAD IS IN SO MANY OF MY SHOTS.





PEOPLE ON THE SIDELINES WATCHING

WE STOOD ON THE SIDELINES FOR AWHILE
AND THEN WE JOINED THE WALK TO THE FINALE!
AFTER ALL THE WHOLE POINT IS THE PROCESSION!
(PICS AND VIDS OF THE FINALE BELOW)





I TOOK A COUPLE PICS OF US WALKING ALONG.
THIS SECOND ONE IS BETTER OF MEADOW 
(BUT NOT ME). 

I LIKE THE SILVER FACE PEOPLE BEHIND US
IN THE FIRST SHOT.
STOP BEING UGLY PERLANA!  (NEVER!)


LOTS OF SOMBREROS AND UMBRELLAS!

I LOVE WHAT THIS GIRL DID WITH HER CHEST!
EVERYONE WAS SO CREATIVE AND AMAZING!

SKULL ICE SCULPTURE THAT WAS BEING PULLED
THE ENTIRE PARADE.  BY THE END I THINK IT HAD
MELTED SIGNIFICANTLY.




CUTE!



SO WE ENDED UP WALKING
(WELL MINUS THE 'FROM OUR CAR' PART)
FROM CONGRESS AND 5TH
TO MERCADO SAN AGUSTIN.

I WAS TOLD IT WAS 2 MILES BY THIS NEWS REPORT.

 ONCE WE ARRIVED AT THE FINALE OF THE PARADE
THE REAL WEIRDNESSES BEGAN.  I DON'T KNOW HOW
TO DESCRIBE IT OTHER THAN ALL OF THE CARNIES
IN TUCSON CAME OUT THAT NIGHT TO PERFORM.

IT WAS THE BEST DISPLAY OF WEIRDNESSES
I'VE SEEN IN AWHILE.  I NEEDED THAT.




GIRL WATCHING FROM UNDER THE STAGE.
I'M SUSPECT TO WHETHER SHE COULD ACTUALLY
EVEN SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON. 
MAYBE THAT WAS THE POINT.

THIS THING WAS SO COOL.  NOTICE THE
CD PUPILS.  HELL YEAH.

NO FLASH

FLASH

THIS DUDE KEPT WALKING AWAY CAUSE
HE WAS ON HIS CELL PHONE.  I KEPT GOING
AFTER HIM BECAUSE FUCK THAT SHIT!
IF YOU WEAR AN AMAZING COSTUME,
EXPECT TO BE PHOTOGRAPHED!

HERE ARE A FEW SHORT VIDEOS BECAUSE SOMETIMES
WORDS ARE NOT ENOUGH:

PLAYING WITH FIRE

PLAYING WITH MUSIC

WEIRD PERFORMANCE ART

ACROBATICS WITH CHILDREN
(YOU CAN HEAR ME AND MEOW DISCUSSING
HOW THIS GUY'S FLY IS DOWN.)

PLAYING WITH GLOW STICKS

THIS VID IS VERY DARK AND HARD TO SEE.
MOSTLY YOU CAN SEE THINGS WHEN PEOPLE
AROUND ME USE THEIR FLASH.
IT IS OF THE STAGE WHERE THE PARADE ENDED.

WEIRD.  PLAYING WITH RAINBOWS?

ME WALKING AFTER THIS GLOBE FLOAT.
I SPUN THE CAMERA ALL AROUND TO GET THE
ENTIRE PLACE'S FEELING BUT IT LOOKS LIKE
IT CAME OUT TOO DARK TO REALLY SEE.

OH WELL!  I GUESS NEXT YEAR YOU'LL JUST
HAVE TO COME SEE IT IN PERSON!
