rie and i took a small quick break from the home preparation work and spent a few hours at a guacamole festival in east LA on saturday 5/16/2009. on the way in, we saw some roosters, goats, and other little animals kids could play with. we also ate some carne asada tacos, some enchiladas, and some chicken skewers. the food was great…we later found out the skewers were bought from a pilipino restaurant. we also had some cervesa – tecate and a corona. the food was cheap and good!

we also got some entertainment – an oyaji band was playing some of their own original songs while also covering the doors, santana, and others. as we left, we saw two helicopters make circles around our block. apparently, the festival was surrounded by a car chase. my instincts were pretty good when we looked up where this festival was going to be. luckily, it seems that the runaway person was caught. although a little worried, i think we’ll be back next year!
