San Francisco artist Rio Yanez hosted "The Great Tortilla Conspiracy"
at the De Young museum last week, inviting artists to come by and have
their art silkscreened onto tortillas with edible inks.
How cool is that?

That is so awesome... I'm bummed I missed it!
I grew up in Southern Calif. just south of Pasadena and was lucky enough to
attend several of the city's *Doo Dah
Parade*
which mocks its more illustrious cousin, the Rose Parade. Some of the more
notable Doo Dah acts include Leg-Go, the One-Legged Clown, the Hard Hat
Brotherhood, the Spawn of Captain James T. Kirk, and the Men of Leisure
Synchronized Nap Team.
One of my favorite parts of the parade was the Tortilla Fight. Many people
brought printed tortillas to throw - often with funny pictures or quips
about tortillas or tortilla fight, as well as the occasional local business
ad.
Here's a quick description of the event:
*One bizarre turn over the years was the fact that parade participants and
bystanders engaged in an escalating battle with flying tortillas. It started
out innocently enough as a messy street nuisance, but when the tortillas
were hardened in the heat one year, "people found themselves pelted and even
hurt until the city passed a No Tortillas ordinance. Pasadena's one of only
two cities in America to ban the tossing of tortillas in public.*
I have no idea which other city has banned tortilla tossing, but found that
it has been banned at Texas Tech football games.
