FishBowlLA Bored with Media, Picks on Me

I just noticed in the referer logs that the site FishBowlLA had done a bit on my coverage of the April Art Walk. I assume that I'm supposed to take it to be making fun of my lack of art jargon describing the walk. Of course they start by just getting the site url wrong (blogdowntown.com, thank you), so maybe I'm reading more into it than there really is. I'm perfectly fine with the fact that I know nothing about art. Pre-LA, none of the places in which I've lived have ever have anything more than a Thomas Kinkade shop.

But if you're going to do the "gossip blog" take on LA media, pick on bad writing in something a little more prestigious than a little blog.

At least do what I do, and pick on one that's about trying to make money.

Eric Richardson lives in Atlanta, Georgia, where he works on payments infrastructure for Cash App.
