having gone as a robot made out of sudo room stuff last year, i second the
robot halloween party idea and also would consider a dia de los muertos
party to be inappropriate. i have family in town and won't be able to help
set up the halloween party - apologies.
also, i've copied sudoer shani here as she has a few performers lined up
for a halloween event that matt was planning and wants to figure out how
those performers can still play at omni around halloween.

Yes, i understand that people want to don the
costuming of DDLM. That is
exactly part of the problem. Groups of privileged parties co-opting what

a sacred holiday not of their own culture. In
that google image search
you
have a vast variety of white women dressing up to
be "sexy" or spookyglam
without any real ties to the culture, and very few images of hispanic
people
celebrating the holiday in the same costumes.
This has been an on-going
problem with non-cultural DDLM celebrations for decades now. It would be
aggravating to see sudoroom add to that kind of cultural colonization by
privileged groups.
Damn, wish I had taken a closer look at that event description. I
agree with hep, it looks pretty alienating. Let's have a robot-themed
halloween party instead. Beep boop.
