2009 Dinagyang Festival Winners
January 27, 2009
Just got back from the Dinagyang Festival, havent posted any photos because i still have to catch up with work… so photos will come later… in general, the festival went well not as much tribes this year because of budget constraints. 17 tribes down from the 25 tribes last year. I noticed that the gap between the good tribes and the mediocre ones are getting wider.
I will be posting some not so good news on my next post about 2 newspapers and a goverment website using my photos without permission and credit.

* Due to Heavy Traffic, We will have to move to a dedicated server.. at there was a day 2 weeks back that we hit 11K pageviews in a single day.. good news is that we are growing steadily, bad news is that server issues has hit us hard and traffic is down now.. hopefully we can get it back up soon when we transfer to our new home.
