I was laying on the couch watching the game, hoping for -something- to happen. Of course, the only things to happen were touchdowns for usc. Boo. I was ashamed when i went out to kfc wearing my ucla hoodie. I actually ran into this kid from high school that told me he made a bundle off us losing, and that i was "scandalous" the way they lost. SIGH. Maybe next year??? Oh cindy,

I don't like most of the ones I read because they're just not relevant to me. The personal ones I read and like are written by someone I already have some connection to, like Brenda. I haven't gone to any other meetups. A few of the b.la contributors are going to watch a free sneak preview of <em>King Kong</em> this Tuesday, but I'll be too busy with papers. Coco, They all offer something different, but definitely worthwhile. You're welcome! Brenda, I've wasted away a whole day because of the game... sigh. I might have to rethink that kicking and screaming stuff. CAD, I just want people to know that there are brown people with something to say. We have a voice too! Rue, Gracias! Maybe someday we'll find ourselves on the same coast. Hey, we have coffee bean here! Joel, I should write a strongly written letter to the LA Times... heh. Dammit, I subscribe too! El Grito, I was truly sad when I heard about Ed Roybal passing away. At that time I didn't have a TV, so I don't know how the coverage of his passing was. Still, he definitely did play a big role in our community, but it's a shame all the LA Times gave him was a canned obit. Oso,

I was sitting with my grandmother a couple of days after Ed Roybal died and she told me she had watched ABC News (Peter Jennings show before he passed) for two nights in a row and she didn't understand why there was so much on Rosa Parks and nothing mentioned about Ed Roybal, who she considered a great man (which he was). I didn't have the heart to tell her that no one in the mainstream gave a .... But sabes que fuck em. For the most part we still don’t exist.

I’m sorry u didn’t get any recognition. In due time you will. Just remember, Rome wasn’t built in a day. . . but we’re <i>[you're]</i> getting there.

I used to be pretty attached to the (albeit very small) scene down here, but now I never even contribute to <a href="http://sandiegoblog.com/" rel="nofollow">San Diego Blog</a>. It's too bad because it's a great way to get to know your community better. (I do bump into Chris Nelson occasionally around town, which is kinda fun) Have you gone to any other meet-ups?

I started reading it mainly because I liked Jason Toney's writing at his own blog which he rarely posts to now (<a href="http://negroplease.typepad.com/" rel="nofollow">Negro Please</a>). Most of the time, I skim through the discussions about movies, restaurants, and music 'cause that doesn't interest me. Almost everytime they list shows in the city they leave out all the bands who visit LA from Latin America. It doesn't interest me and I don't have the time, so I just don't read it. Frankly, I have better sources for music-writing and discussion (hint, hint). What I do read and value LAist for is their breakdown of the news. There's so much going on in this city (not related to scenesters) that I barely have time to go through it all. LAist may be trying to show people a good time or where the good times is at, but that's not a bad objective for a blog. I've never heard/read Jason, the LAist editor, proclaim that they represent the city, because he knows they're missing something. EMC,
