Thousands dressed in decorative garments and painted faces marched through downtown Tucson to the Mercardo San Agustin in this year's All Souls Procession. Before reaching the end of the parade, many participants made a pit stop at the Circle K on Congress and Interstate 10 to stock up on munchies, quench their thirst, go to the restroom and relax before the grand finale. The otherwise normal scene was made unique by the hundreds of customers dressed up for the procession. Jump past the break to view some images taken by photographer Josh Morgan of the everyday undead at Circle K.

- Gabby Giffords was a guest DJ at a Get-Out-The-Vote Barbecue at Hotel Congress yesterday
A bunch of Democratic candidates for state and federal office turned up at Hotel Congress on Sunday, Oct. 28, for an afternoon of politics, live music and barbecue.
The final speakers were Congressman Ron Barber and U.S. Senate candidate Richard Carmona, who made their closing arguments to the crowd and urged them to volunteer to get out the vote.
But the real star of the day was guest DJ Gabby Giffords. The crowd swarmed the DJ tent to greet Giffords and snap photos of her as she spun 20 minutes of tunes that included Springsteen’s “Born To Run,” The Police’s “Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic” and (of course!) Calexico’s “Crystal Frontier.”
