California Bullfight and Portuguese Festa Information
I found out from a friend that lusoplaza.com has been back up and running for some time. I used to follow the arguments on the guestbook quite avidly, and in fact got to know some good people I later met at the bullfights from it. It is good to have as many sources for the bullfight schedule, too, as some of them come and go with an alarming lack of notice. Anyway, the guestbook is a lot of fun (follow the directions in the news box for the password, which is mainly to prevent spam), where Central Valley Portuguese get to argue over which forcado group is best. They pull no punches (and certainly work against those of us who are trying to convince the world that bullfighting is the height of civilization, but keep in mind that they are obsessed with forcados, which, as much fun as they are, are not exactly up there with matadores), but can be a lot of fun.
