Lotus Festival

Since Jason was working hideous hours this weekend at the E3 conference at the convention center, I made my way to the Lotus Festival in Echo Park.   The festival has always been designed to coincide with the blooming of the lotus flowers in the park, but unfortunately, not so this year.  Not a bloom in sight, but still some excellent food, merchandise, entertainment and weather.

I ate some delicious pad thai noodles, (the festival celebrates Asian culture, and as such, only Asian food is available), and green tea boba.  I watched some hula dancers and bought a money tree which hopefully, as the name suggests, will bring good fortune.  If that comes in the form of money, all the better. Here’s a video for your viewing pleasure.  It’s nice that in spite of the negative things that often happen in the community, some positive things happen as well.
