Josh arrived on time, talked to the DJ as they have never worked together before, and for the next three house kept the kids dancing and the party hopping. I don't even think he took a break.

Paul Roessler at Kitten Robot surprised me time and time again with his creativity and flexibility…read moreover the three years I took my time making my album with him, dragging in all sorts of EXCELLENT studio musicians that he personally knew and were all extremely talented and fun to work with, and affordable. He is a dream to work with as he always maintained calm, worked incredibly hard and fast and above all he is amazingly open-minded about how to make music, even though he has absolutely worked with some of the very best and would qualify as one of those people who would argue there is a tried and true way to make excellent music. He guides as much as you'd like him to, and I'd encourage people to let him guide as much as possible, because he's of the very best. Everything from gorgeous, stirring acoustic ballads to cutting edge aggressive punk, THIS is the studio with the versatility, equipment, environment and professionalism.

I was a little annoyed having to pay $7.00 for parking since I couldn't find any street parking. VENUE: The Ramen Yokocho Fest is held in a big parking lot on the corner of Temple and Central. The whole place seemed overly dingy and dirty with an abundance of trash. They had plenty of volunteers, but the trash situation by the tables was really gross. They should really have some volunteers stationed over by the covered area where you eat because there weren't enough chairs when I got there and there was so much trash by the tables. There were trash cans, but I guess some people don't know how to pick up after themselves. DJ: The DJ they had on Sunday night from 5:30 p.m. on was horrible. No one and I mean no one was interested in this music and it was so loud. Please get someone better. There has to a huge pool of decent DJ's in L.A. for crying out loud. FOOD: $8.00 for one small bowl of ramen is a rip off. I decided to try the ramen at the Men Oh Tokushima booth. It was o.k., but pretty basic. RECOMMENDATION: I probably won't be wasting my money on this event next year. I rather go to a restaurant, sit down in a nice environment and be waited on.

Win!!! There was a line to get a ramen burger, but it moves pretty quick. That's the only line that I saw. Haha Also, there is a community table for you to enjoy your ramen and all other good stuff you got. I tried the Tsujita tonkatsu shoyu ramen, which they'll tell you that they only serve that in their Tokyo location. Pretty rich broth, noodles were tender and really goes well with the broth. So yummm! My date liked the ramen burger. I think it was alright. He said the sauce they used complements well the ramen and the burger patty. Whatever. I'm still not a fan. Haha We also tried the snowball from breeze freeze, combination of mango and blue hawaii. Refreshing but I think it was too sweet. Overall it was not a bad experience. Staff/Volunteer were very helpful and friendly. P.S. there is a beer garden for those 21+ ;)

Congratulations to Fil Am Arts and FPAC Committee and of course volunteers for 25 years of offering…read morethe Festival of Philippine Arts and Culture to the Southern California Community. For 2016, FPAC was held for the first time at Echo Park Lake, a newly renovated city park and a beautiful venue for the festival. I haven't been to FPAC for a couple of years, and I was a little disappointed at first when I checked online and found out that the festival is down to a single day. When the festival was held in San Pedro, it was a 2-day event filled with two performance stages, food booths, Filipino craft vendors, demonstrations, etc. Even though it's down to a single day, however, FPAC 2016 had the same degree of excitement and pride as in previous years, attended not just by Filipinos and Filipino Americans, but a diverse group of Angelenos representing all races and backgrounds. Throughout the day, the performance stage offered performances by Filipino and Filipino American artists. The emcee was the amazing and talented Giselle Tongi, the host of Channel 18's Kababayan Today. We got the chance to catch the dance troupe Kayamanan ng Lahi (translated "Treasure of our Race") as well as Broadway star Jon Jon Briones (Miss Saigon). Kayamanan ng Lahi is truly an L.A. treasure, offering dance workshops to all ages as young as 5 years old. The youngest dancers of the troupe definitely stole the show. Jon Jon Briones, who starred recently at East West Player's production of La Cage aux Folles and will once again star as the engineer in Miss Saigon on Broadway, is another Filipino treasure who graced the stage at FPAC 2016. Plenty of Filipino food was offered at various food booths at FPAC 2016. Vendors included Neri's Turo Turo, Kapamilya Restaurant, The Park's Finest, Magnolia Ice Cream, Manila Sky, Enseymada Project. Due to the long lines at Neri's, we chose Kapamilya Restaurant, located in Fountain Valley (4 Stars for the Chicken and Pork BBQ sticks). We also finally got to try Enseymada Project (4 Stars for the yummy desserts). There were also various Filipino vendors at FPAC 2016, offering a variety of crafts as well as clothing. Previous reviews stated that there was a lack of vendors when the event was held at Grand Park in 2014 and 2015, and this was definitely not the case in 2016. Why not 5 stars? FPAC 2016 happened to fall on a very hot day in L.A., and Echo Park Lake does not have enough shade. It would have been nice if organizers made more tents and canopies available for attendees. Also, there were not enough seats set up for the audience at the performance stage. Moreover, there was no consistency between the food vendors whether they accepted cash or FPAC bucks/food tickets. We were originally going to get The Park's Finest, but they only accepted FPAC bucks, but there was no clear signage where to get FPAC bucks/food tickets. Finally, I wish that there was more publicity for the event. FPAC 2016 was pretty well attended, but there's room for FPAC to grow. The FilAm Arts website, for example, was not updated with the FPAC schedule and vendors until the week of the festival. I would love to see FPAC grow and get even bigger and better in the future. Don't miss it in 2017!

I highly recommend a visit at FPAC 2014 for the food and cultural performances. There's also a…read moreculinary arts center if you want to learn how to prepare Filipino food and where you can sample free food and drink. A great way to get a taste of the culture and food of the Philippines! The setting this year is different from year's past in San Pedro over looking the sea. More of a central location this time and the new location seems to attract more non-Filipinos (including foreigners) than the more secluded San Pedro park location. Instead of charging an admission fee, the event at Grand Park is free! Set on three different levels (areas) below City Hall, the feeling is a lot different this year because you'll have to walk up and down some steps to reach each area. There's two stages, the main stage (Legacy) and Generations Stage. The big names such as comedian, Rex Navarette, cultural performances, and celebrity MCs usually are at main stage. To taste the food, you'll have to buy non-refundable tickets with cash or credit card. T-shirts are available for $15, water is $2, and malongs are $25 at the FPAC stores/information booths. There's also vendors selling different items at the event such as apparel. I recommend trying the tropical popsicles (calamansi, ube-red bean, azuki red beans), shaved snow or halo-halo. There's also vendors selling Filipino food such as lumpia, pancit, and Filipino-style BBQ. On the upper level, there some Filipino-owned food trucks such as White Rabbit truck. I recommend trying the sisig tacos. Ciclavia runs through Grand Park and FPAC 2014 on Sunday, so expect road closures around the area. I'd recommend taking the Metro (red line, exit Civic Center) or plan ahead to find paid or street parking and arrive knowing which streets will be closed. FPAC 2014 will be another hot day on Sunday, so don't forget to drink lots of water to stay hydrated, bring beach mats or blankets, hats, and sunscreen.
