Who Was There?
According to Moonalice legend, today’s poster by David Singer depicts the very first Hangtown Halloween festival back in the 1849. The original Hangtown was supposed to be a harvest festival, but what with the Gold Rush and all, almost everyone had forgotten to plant their crops. Fortunately, the two characters in the foreground of this poster - Dry Diggings Moonalice and his new bride El Dorado -- were the last people in town who understood that the only gold worth having at a party is the kind you can smoke.
