Profile Summary
I have a blog on http://www.culifornia.com that I use to report on local events in Southern California. There is so much going on in the state currently that I can provide an inside eye from someone who knows his way around. This is not limited to Los Angeles, I also frequent Orange County, San Diego, Coachella Valley, Inland Empire, South Bay, through Oxnard, Camarillo, and Bakersfield.
I tend to focus on cultural events, city/state goverment decisions, cannabis, cuisine, and how California defines itself. I'm interested in everything from tribal pow wows to the newest restaurant opening. I am eclectic and would love to add flare to your next article.
Thanks,
Jacob
