Today after going for a run in Griffith Park and visiting out favorite baby sifaka at the LA Zoo, [Penelope](http://peneloper.com) and I met up with [Jim](http://trainedmonkey.com/) and [Shannon](http://shainla.typepad.com/) at Union Station and then walked over to New Chinatown to partake in some serious Chinese food sampling, with some soul food and Seoul food thrown in for good measure. Jim took some photos of the festival which can be found in his [flickr pool](http://www.flickr.com/photos/jimwinstead/). I am uploading the photos I took now, but it is going a bit slow as I am just borrowing my neighbors internet connection, thanks neighbor! My photos for the most part can be found [here](http://eecue.com/images_archive/eecue-album-1225-1-chinese_food_festival_05.html).

When I moved back to LA after living in OC for a year I hit up two of the local LA group blogs and asked if they needed or wanted any writers. Sean from blogging.la was the first to get back to me and let me know that the site was currently maxed out as far as writers went and to get back to him later to see if anything opened up. A few weeks later Jason Toney emailed me and let me know that there was room on LAist for writers and so I wrote a handful of articles for them. A few weeks ago I checked back with Sean and he informed me that a couple of spots had opened up on b.la, and as that was the group blog I had originally wanted to write for I retired from LAist and moved on over to b.la. So after finally getting my bio together I am now writing for blogging.la. My first post about the Chinese Food Festival is [here](http://blogging.la/archives/2005/08/chinese_food_fe.phtml).
