To Do in L.A.: Dia De Los Muertos!
I posted about this event this time last year and a lot of people have been searching for it lately (at least 63 of you today alone!). So I figured I would repost with the new information so you are privy to the new shit.
On Octobre 24th head over to Hollywood Forever Cemetery (6000 Santa Monica Blvd) from 4 – 11pm for Dia De Los Muertos. It’s $10 and they make it a point to tell you No Dogs, No Coolers and…No Skateboards? Im sure there has been some axle grinding on Valentino’s Crypt or something to prompt this rule. It’s not like you can ride very smoothly on the cemetery’s driveway or anything.
Be sure to put a sugar skull on Johnny Ramone’s Statue.

Old Saying
I can also recommend that you take the Metro down to Olivera St. to catch the Dia De Los Muertos festivities downtown on November 1st-2nd. I went in 2007 and saw the best all-female skeleton mariachi band ever! Stay Dead, LA!
