I’m fairly new here but haven’t done much exploring any nice roads to drive out here?

Trying to build a list for reference during events. Especially interested in hip hop and RnB, house, and 90s-2000s heavy repertoires.

Thanks for any insight!

How real is the “June gloom” I’m hearing about in June? Would a July wedding be a way better choice or is June still pretty nice?

Hello! My boyfriend and I are traveling to Santa Barbara later this month with another couple to celebrate his birthday. We LOVE great food & drinks but would like something with a great ambiance as well. We looked at The Stonehouse or Angel Oak but were worried Angel Oak might even be too stuffy. Any suggestions for a fun celebratory dinner in a nice atmosphere with great food? (In an ideal world it might have a view as well but… you can’t have it all! Willing to sacrifice this as long as the ambiance is good!)

this may be a tall order but this is what I'm on the hunt for in the SB area (can be outside): outdoor wedding venue, can fit 200 ppl, ideally BYO catering OR reasonably priced in-house catering. dancing/music allowed outdoors. budget is still flexible bc i'm trying to figure out what this will be.... hoping to not spend over 30k

Hi there, I'm a local artist and I just started getting my work out there into the world. Does anyone know of restaurants, cafes, breweries, etc that feature local artists work? I want to start making connections but don't even know where to start! And I don't go out much because we spend all our money on rent lolllll

Bonus points if you want to check out my work to see where it might fit: @ jennydstudio on instagram

Thank you in advance!

Any recs? Hoping to find an affordable shop that’s quick and easy. Thanks!

Edit: SB Smog was the winner. $35, 15 minutes and friendly guy.

Hi all!

UC Santa Barbara's Koegel Autism Center (KAC) has restarted our weekly Teen Hangout Group. It is an hour long hangout session on Wednesdays from 4:30pm - 5:30pm at the KAC, and it is led by university students. It is open to all ages 12-17, and it is a safe space for autistic and neurodiverse teens to hang out and get to know each other! Please see the flyer for this week below :) Please email education-autism@ucsb.edu with any questions!

So as of right now my costs for one week look like :

Accommodations: $245 staying at a camp ground

Surf board rental: $210

Rental car : 271

Food : 150 I’ll do pbj, sandwiches, easy stuff most of the time. Maybe go out once or twice. Looks like about a 1000 a week give or take.

I was thinking of buying a board if I’m going regularly because that will definitely add up fast. I have someone out there who could potentially watch my surf board and potentially a car.

Should I get a car and just leave it at their house? I wouldn’t have to pay for accommodations or a rental because I’d just live in it when I go there. So, do you think I should spend around 6k for a reliable beater + ~$100 in insurance each month? Any alternative recommendations?

I moved to US and to SB a few months ago, and soul food is my bucket list of things I want to experience. Does anyone have a good restaurant recommendation in town?

1000 homes where Glen Annie is? Have they seen the traffic back up onto the freeway during school rush hours? Will ruin this area of Goleta. I'm all for housing developments within reason. But this just seems misguided and Goleta continues to take the brunt of the state housing mandate. Is this a done deal? There are better places in Goleta to create workforce housing or reduce this proposal to something in line with the character and infrastructure that this area can handle.

We're moving into a Goleta apartment complex from a condo where our utilities were included in the rent.

What should we expect for water, gas, and electric? We have gas appliances and a washer and dryer in unit.

Join the Galactic Fringers for an epic May the Fourth Be With You event!  We're throwing an intergalactic extravaganza fundraiser for the nonprofits New Hope Creative Alliance and Hope Refuge.

Soul Bites, one of the preferred Cantinas of the Outer Rim Territories, located in the heart of the Star Port city of Santab'Arbara, will be the hoppin' hub of happy hyperspace hijinks as the club is transformed into an intergalactic cantina, hosting space faring scoundrels, wise mystical warriors, droids, and interstellar life forms of all kinds.

The evening will feature live music from Cuddlefish, Ulysses Jasz Goes Hanna, and Trout Club; themed dance and comedy performances (including dancing Twi'leks and a Wookiee comedian!); a force-sensitive fortune teller, lightsaber demos, an interactive spy story, a costume contest, silent auction, food, drinks, and more!

The event is on Saturday, May 4th at Soul Bites (423 State Street) in Santa Barbara. Door open at 6pm, performances start at 7pm. All ages!

Hi everyone,

I live downtown and will have some movers coming tomorrow that will need in front of my house on the street. What is the recommended way to block off two street parking spots for them? Is there an official permit I need to get? I tried to search the SB city website but couldn't find much.

Thanks!

I think it’s probably the dude on the bike who wears the California flag like a cape.

where’s a great place i can take someone on a date, food, fun, adventure, really anything. just need recommendations!

Does anyone have any local functional doctor recommendations? Particularly looking for one for fertility/prenatal needs but open to any suggestions.

Howdy, I own a 84 Vanagon that a love to take camping/go on surf trips and just get up to general fun utilizing my van. I would love to connect and do these kind of things with other enthusiasts. Is there an established group/club kicking around?

If anybody saw it please comment. A man and a young woman got into a collision on the bike path on state, the man was screaming a lot
