Dead Show
November 2nd, 2007 by timbotron
The Latin American holiday Dia de los Muertos “Day of the Dead” is today, November 2nd. It is a Precolombian celebration to honor deceased family and friends . . . and Frida Kahlo. This year Redwood City made a great first attempt at a city-sponsored Dia de los Muertos celebration. Traditional dancers, sugar skulls, Oingo Boingo album artwork, pan de los muertos ["bread of the dead"], taquitos de los muertos ["little tacos of the dead"], Chihuahuas de los muertos ["lapdogs of the dead"], churros de los muertos ["breadsticks of the dead"], and tons of enthusiastic dead ancestor fans.
Well done, Redwood City.
Now please make the rest of the year in Redwood City suck less.
