PUBLISHERS LETTER 

MARCH 2010       

        HAPPY ST. PAT'S DAY

Dear Life Bites News Readers,

We welcome you to our St. Pat's Day issue. We have so many great ideas for travel, food, gifts and some wonderful fun ways to celebrate the 'wearen of the green' holiday, which honors the patron saint of Ireland. Our Hotel/Chef feature is on the spectacular new W Hotel & Residences Hollywood, where Victor Drai will open a sensational supper club on March 10th.

We will also be featuring film, food and celebrity news. Our team covered the SBIFF 2010 rain and shine. We have some wonderful photos and interview tidbits from award winning celebrities in the TinselTown Tidbit section. Our teen columnist Cody Hilton covered the Jeff Bridges Day celebration with an interview given by the Academy Award nominee on the stage of the Lobero Theatre. The 25th Anniversary Film Festival in Santa Barbara was outstanding, and Roger Durling, along with the entire staff deserve huge kudos.

We have some fun Olympic drink recipes, and hot wine festival news. BookBites has great reads and international festival information. Travel is jammed with fun journey destinations, and our sections offer inspiring lifestyle ideas for March.

The Berlin Tourism LA held a recent reception at W Westwood, and took everyone to see Max Raabe, renowned German entertainer Max Raabe and his fabulous Palast Orchestra at Royce Hall. It was simply outstanding, and kicks off the 2010 Germain Tourism campaign.

USA-USA-USA!! Our congratulations and thanks to all the US Olympic medalists -- you are the best and we love you! Our thanks to all the athletes from around the world as well, especially Canada the 2010 hosts.
