I went to a local Holi celebration here in Texas, at the Barsana Dham Hindu temple (near Austin). Great, great fun, a very joyful time. Running around with my camera in a ziplock bag, I was quickly covered in fine fluorescent pink dust by all manner of celebrants, little kids to old men, who would run up to me, cry "Happy Holi!", and smear some of the stuff on me. Later there was free Indian food for all. Afterwards I went with friends to an ice cream store and we recieved many curious (friendly) looks.
