La Muerte [a funeral in Pilsen]
Some people say that they want their funeral to be a party, and others mean it. I once saw a video of this amazing funeral in New Orleans. It involved jazz and dancing and a celebration that would be tough to match. Until I saw a street festival the other day. Roads blocked off, Mexican food everywhere, and a parade with Mariachis. And a casket. It was a funeral. With a parade that went throughout the entire neighborhood.
