Dia De Los Muertos


Yesterday we traveled down College street to the ElMocambo. Upstairs was a super cool festival!
There was an escapist, a rockin DJ -- some burlesque dancers, a magician. And lots of cool shopping. I bought a hair clip made from a zipper, and some cool notecards and tags (did I really need these?) and I bought a Frida magnet from Carmi. If it wasn't for Carmi -- I never would have known about the event. Thanks Carmi! I hope that they do it again next year. I loved it. (In the evening there were bands. I'm too old for bands. They all happen after my bedtime)

You two sound like you've got one foot in the grave, I just wake up at midnight, oh wait, I don't wake up I can't sleep, everything hurts when I lay down. I should go next year. Will it bother my hearing aid? Just kidding. Looks like you had a great time. Were husbands involved?

When I hear "Dia De Los Muertos," I don't usually or immediately think of Toronto. Glad you had fun; it looks like an interesting event.

Isn't it great the many events we can go to in Toronto? I wish I visited the city more often...even though I am a country girl at heart.
