Daily Dinkus - May 1st - Batman Day - Cancun, Mexico

It's May 1st & I'm in Cancun, Mexico!

Apparently today is Batman Day (granted it's only one of many), and Global Love Day, and World Asthma Day, and Poem on Your Pillow Day ... and after googling around, I thought to myself: "Self, I bet someone could do something interesting with that. And I think that person should be me."

Soooo for today's video... 

As an oddball tribute to Heath Ledger, I gathered a group of local talent here in Cancun and we shot a little film.

FYI, you might find the film more amusing if you watch this first. (And these 10 Things About Heath Ledger's Joker You (Probably) Never Knew are pretty cool too.)

Ready? Here.. we.. go..

Enjoy!

Annnnd for today's photos... 

My original plan was to visit one of several cenotes (near Cancun), but the weather forecast was terrible so I decided to shoot something with a bat-vibe a little closer to home. A friend suggested a spot nearby - a creepy church at Reserva Natural Ombligo Verde - so we dropped by after dark and did this....

FYI, today's other holidays include:

May 1 - Couple Appreciation Day (batman & robin)
May 1 - Purebred Dog Day
May 1 - Do this not that day (a day proposed by Bill Maher because it marks the anniversary of the day George W. Bush prematurely announced Mission Accomplished AND the day the Obama administration took out Osama bin Laden)
May 1 - Silver Star Day, which honors wounded, ill and dying members of the Armed Forces
May 1 - A Day Of Distress, which has something to do with veterans flying the flag upside down
May 1 - Keep Kids Alive! Drive 25 Awareness Day
May 1 - Phone in Sick Day
