Photos by Ella Gibson After an hour-long bus ride down Santa Monica Boulevard, in a brown leather jacket and chunky Dr. Martens, I found myself at a cemetery (literally). “Hollywood Forever: Funeral Home.

Sunset cruises, interactive art installations, beer gardens and… yacht parties? Spring has sprung and San Diego’s largest music festival was in full swing last weekend! From May 10-12th, Wonderfront Music & Arts Festival made its third appearance and exceeded beyond what I thought was possible. Located right on the waterfront, the festival grounds lay in…
