SomDay is the day every year where we celebrate Som Juan rising from the dead and giving fireworks to all the little boys and girls. Or something like that, I don’t really remember. The last real SomDay celebration we had was two years ago when zombies invaded Main St. Last year I was at Bonnaroo on June 16th, so there was no coordinated celebration (that I know of). I took a picture of the celebration I had at Bonnaroo, but it didn’t come out, so I guess that’ll be lost to the ages.
I’ve got an idea for this year though. June 16th is a Monday this year, so in order to get more people involved, and get more people to see us, SomDay should probably be observed the day before (Sunday the 15th). The idea is to have ninjas fight up and down main street. I know ninjas (and pirates, and robots) were ideas we were kicking around after doing the zombie invasion, and that’s probably where this is coming from. One group of ninjas dressed in white, another dressed in black, on opposing sides of the street. When the crosswalk tells us to, we run into the middle of the street, and fight until it goes back to “don’t walk”. That’s when all the ninjas retreat to their respective sides, trash talking and threatening the other side until the next chance to go. We can work our way up and down Main St like this, and I think it would be pretty cool. So that’s something to keep in mind.
