Well, neighbors, if you’ve been meaning to drop that ballot in the mail but keep pushing it to tomorrow, now’s the time to act. According to KEYT News Channel 3-12, Primary Election Day is this Tuesday, June 2, and Santa Barbara County elections staff are already working hard to make sure every vote counts. Christina Valenzuela, our county’s Elections Division Manager, is gently reminding us not to procrastinate — so if your ballot is still sitting on the kitchen counter, grab it and get it out the door.
What I love about our local elections is that we have so many easy options here on the Central Coast. You can mail it in, or better yet, swing by one of our official drop-off locations — no stamp needed, and no waiting in long lines. Whether you’re in Goleta, Carpinteria, or downtown Santa Barbara, this is your chance to have a say on the issues and candidates that shape our daily lives, from local school boards to county measures.
So let’s do what we do best as a community: show up for each other. A few minutes of your time now means your voice is heard. And if you have questions, the county elections office is just a call away. Let’s make this primary one for the books, 805 style.

Santa BarbaraFrom Salvador to Santa Barbara
There’s a beautiful thread that’s been weaving through our Solstice celebrations for a quarter of a century now, and it started all the way from Salvador, Brazil. According to the *Santa Barbara Independent*, this year marks 25 years of Brazilian arts lighting up our parade—a tradition that began when local dancers and musicians brought the rhythms of capoeira, samba, and Afro-Brazilian culture to State Street. It’s become one of those unmistakable Solstice moments, the kind where you hear the drumming before you see the feathers and sequins, and suddenly you’re swept up in a wave of color and joy that feels both exotic and entirely Santa Barbara. What makes this milestone so special is how it reflects our community’s openness. We’re not just spectators here; we’ve embraced these artists as neighbors. That parade float isn’t just a performance—it’s a living bridge between our coastal home and the vibrant streets of Salvador. So next time you’re watching the dancers move through downtown, remember: that energy has been part of our summer for 25 years, and it’s a reminder that the best traditions are the ones we build together.
Santa BarbaraDining in the Dirt
You know that magical feeling when a meal feels like it’s part of the landscape? According to the *Santa Barbara Independent*, the beloved farm-to-table dinner series **Outstanding in the Field** is coming back to the 805 on June 24—and this time, they’re heading to Ojai. Chef Diego Moya of Little Mountain will be cooking, which means we can expect a menu that tastes like the hillsides themselves: bright, earthy, and deeply local. It’s easy to think of Ojai as just a quick drive up the 33, but for Santa Barbara folks, it’s really part of our same food-and-farm family. These dinners aren’t just about eating—they’re about sitting right where the food grew, with dirt under the table and the sky overhead. If you’ve never been, think of it as a slow, sun-soaked evening that reminds us why we live here. Tickets will go fast, so mark your calendar and maybe carpool with a friend.
Santa BarbaraTraditional Publishing Isn’t Dead
You know how everyone’s been saying print is on its last legs? Well, Reg Van Hirtum—the familiar face behind the beloved Luna Café—is proving otherwise. According to the *Santa Barbara Independent*, his new venture, Lazarus Media Publications, is actively seeking fresh fiction. It’s a fitting name, honestly. After years of nurturing our community with coffee and conversation, Reg is now nurturing our stories. For anyone who’s ever scribbled a novel draft at a State Street café table, this feels like a quiet victory. In an era of algorithms and instant publishing, having a local publisher willing to take a chance on unknown voices is rare. It’s a reminder that the Central Coast isn’t just a backdrop for stories—it’s a place that still believes in making them tangible, page by page. So dust off that manuscript, neighbors. The coffee might be gone, but the ink is still flowing.
