Stopped by the Chinese Community Center this afternoon to catch a little bit of the festival there…
It’s grown, and was very well attended. I was trying to slither through the crowd to get up to the stage door, when there was a break in the crowd and a lion stepped on my foot. I don’t recall reading whether this is one of the lucky things that can happen when you deal with a lion, but it didn’t seem to do any actual harm. (It was a very young lion, after all.) Still, when you’re in a close crowd and you’re suddenly face-to-face with a lion, there’s really only one thing you CAN do. Shoot fast.
As lions go, it’s really pretty cute. And it’s somewhat disconcerting to have a lion giggling at you while you’re trying to shoot it.
I found the dancers anyway.
