Zero Sum Game at the Folk Tree

The Day of the Dead is upon us and there is no better way to celebrate, than attending the 32nd Annual Day of the Dead Show at the Folk Tree in Pasadena. My entry this year is a riff on the Mayan Ball hoop at Chichen-Itza in Mexico. If you haven’t been, add it to […]
