Tonight we went to the
Hollywood Forever Cemetery to watch "
American Werewolf in London" at the summer movie nights thrown by
Cenespia. I would highly recommend this
activity to anyone living in the LA area. It's a great way to spend $10, and have a picnic (food and even
alcohol are encouraged) in a cemetery of all places! I've been living here for over 4 years and this is actually the first time that the stars have aligned and I've been able to make it to a showing, which has been hard since it's only held during the summer on Saturday nights. I am definitely going to try to make an effort to go more often next year though (since there's only 2 more weeks left in this years season!). In case your curious, the movies are projected onto a building wall where there is a big grassy field that everyone lays their blankets on and FILLS up to the brim! Not to go all goth on you guys or anything but I would really like to go through the
cemetery during the day sometime and snap some pictures since tonight was too dark (these images are snagged from google). There was a lot of interesting tombstones, etc there that I think would be great inspiration for something down the line.
Some of my favorite images from the Dia De Los Muertos celebration at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery (one of my favorite places to be in LA!) that we went to last weekend! I took literally over a hundred images, how inspiring this event was! So many amazing, crafty folk putting together memorial altars to their loved ones that you could tell had many hours labored in love put into them. The first four images are from the art show that was held in the mausoleum of the cemetery (which the 5th image is of) followed by some of my favorite altar pics. There were hundreds of altars and thousands upon thousands of people swarming around with us. I also got to drink a smoothie out of a pineapple that night.... needless to say it was delicious! ;p
