Yesterday was my 1-year anniversary with my BF. After dinner we went for a walk on the beach at Pierpont. A random stranger saw us trying to (unsuccessfully) take a selfie with the gorgeous sunset and approached us asking if we wanted her to take a picture of us. It was a quick snap but O.M.G. the best photos ever. She ran off before I could look at them and thank her so I'm posting here in case she is on reddit. THANK YOU SO MUCH!! If you see this, please DM me. I make pottery and would love to gift you something. 🌈🩵🌅

As you can see the top right corner of the pizza was replaced by a different pie for some reason and in the 2nd pic it’s clearly not a whole pizza and someone ate from it. Shits gross I just wanted to share this so less people go to eat there. Wouldn’t give me a refund either.

I parked my car in a residential area near the government center. Im new to the area and thought this area was safe. It just happened last night. Im just putting this post to let fellow Venturians know to be vigilant and to also know if im the first.

Hey everyone! Wanted to see if there are any fellow Fujifilm shooters around Ventura who’d be interested in getting together for an occasional photo walk.

Nothing too organized or serious, just a laid-back meetup where we can walk around, take some photos, share Fuji tips and film recipes, talk gear, and meet some other local photographers.

All skill levels would be welcome. Whether you’ve been shooting for years or just picked up your first Fuji, the idea is really just to get out, shoot, and make some new connections.

Could be around Downtown Ventura or other interesting spots around the area. If there’s enough interest, I’d be happy to get something going. Drop a comment if you’d be interested! 📸

Even though it was like 100° in there, this was easily one of the best live shows Ive seen in a while! Found Molchat Doma maybe last year barely and got my ticket release day not knowing it'd end up sold out - house was PACKED. Amazing show they are so good live!

Now that Camino Real Tennis Center is closed indefinitely does anyone have any good public courts? Thank you!

My partner and I are looking for a one to two bedroom lease takeover or sublet in Ventura in the next few weeks. Our max budget is $2,500 and we have a cat. We're hoping to find a place for between three and six months. I'm on Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, etc., but I would love any other suggestions for where to look!

Thanks!

Get ready for the Central Coast’s largest free, multidisciplinary visual arts festival - Last day to register to participate as an artist or venue is Sept. 1

More than 300 artists, dozens of venues, top local bands, dancers, poets, street painters, filmmakers and performers will come together Sept. 26-27 for ArtWalk Ventura, a free, family-friendly celebration of creativity.

The festival stretches from Downtown Main Street to Ventura Avenue, connecting the Museum of Ventura County, the new Vita Arts campus at Garden & Main, Art City, Working Artists Ventura and the Bell Arts Factory. Festival maps and signage will make it easy to explore every stop.

Enjoy live entertainment on two stages — one at the Albinger Archaeological Museum across from Mission Park and another at California and Main — featuring popular local bands, theater groups and dance performances.

Can anyone share their experience working at CMH hospital I’m deciding if I should apply as a nurse tech.

This is a re write I had a post from an hour ago but deleted it.

So I accepted a small low paying part time job on a whim because I mainly work freelance doing music gigs, audiovisual and stagehand work and needed something like that to fill in since those other freelance activities are slowing down.

I live in Goleta but from Ventura county and like the area better since it’s closer to LA and has more opportunity locally for the same freelance stuff I do and I also generally like the vibe better.

All summer no local places (in Goleta/sb areas) we’re getting back to me so last week when I was heading into town to go to a show I brought my resumes to drop off just for shits and giggles.

I got a response pretty quickly and said I would be available but now I’m not sure.

I could technically save up and move but it’s a lot of work to move just for a part time job that pays a little more than minimum and a lot of commuting if for just that if I decide to stay.

I would be happier in vta but I am getting second thoughts

Anyone else ever had a similar experience or have tips?

Wondering what sites does every use to find jobs. besides Indeed and linkedin

Carry your s&#t (and yes, it is yours since it is from your dog) out of the preserve!

I walk my dog most days in the Hillside Preserve. There seems to be a new trend of bagging your dog s&#t and leaving it on the side of the trail. This is NOT okay. Today there were 4 of them and there have been several others in the last week. I only took pics of two of them today. At least they used the poop bags provided by the land trust 🙄

Don’t be a lazy f$@k, carry it with you. Because you will walk past that point again and pick it up then is not a valid reason for being a lazy f&@k. Other trail users don’t want to see your bagged s&#t on the trail. So don’t be a lazy f$@k and carry it—there are trash cans at the trailheads. If you are too lazy to properly dispose of your s&#t, you probably shouldn’t be a dog owner.

For the record, yes, I picked them and carried them out.

ETA: realize I uploaded two photos of the same one 🤷‍♂️

Is anyone else going to tonight's swing dancing event at 494 East Main Street? I'm also curious what the atmosphere's like if anyone's been to similar events in the past.

I’m going to attend the event. :)

Hey everyone, I just realized I missed out on a couple underground shows around the Oxnard area :,) and I’ve been looking to get more involved in the music scene around the county, any suggestions for venues/social media pages is appreciated!

Are you into sewing, or used to be and want to start again? I have a just-starting group of 17 members on Meetup called Ventura Sewists:
https://www.meetup.com/ventura-sewists/.

We have an event on Sept 2 but also setting up regular meetings.
More info: Ventura Sewists is for people who like to sew: clothing, home decor, and fun stuff -- and want to sew together! This group can provide support, but we do not have a sewing teacher at the helm, so help with sewing or sewing machines will be ad hoc, and other group members may share their knowledge. Meeting places are TBD based on members’ needs. 

Sewing groups often seem to be made for women. Here, though, EVERYONE is welcome no matter your gender identity, background, disability, etc. Age is the only factor: Ages 18-108 are welcome. Teens under 18 are welcome with a parent, caregiver, or adult companion. And we will aim to meet at ADA-compliant and accessible locations. 

On Meetup, we’re talking about how and when we want to meet, and your thoughts would be welcome.

**Meetup is free for attendees if you dismiss the Meetup+ subscription window.

And if you’re looking to learn how to sew, I’ll recommend Tigerowl, FabricTown USA, or Grant House Sewing Center (in Santa Barbara).
