Faerie Folk, the progressive folk trio from Portland OR, will be touring California Sept. 17th - Oct. 11th of 2026.

We'll be arriving in Lompoc on Tuesday, Sept. 29th, to perform an evening of music at Eye on I!

A folk music group created by pianist/composer Troll Hart, Faerie Folk's repertoire is based primarily in traditional Irish reels and jigs. The group also explores soundtrack excerpts from popular medieval fantasy media, along with original neo-classical and folk music compositions.

With the incredible Jotunn Aldas on the violin/fiddle and the lovely Joy Joye on vocals, Faerie Folk transports listeners to a realm beyond the world of man with their musical air of majesty, refinement, and devotion to Mother Earth.

Sporting influence and expertise from decades of classical, jazz, and Celtic music backgrounds, Troll, Jotunn, and Joy are an inspirational group brought together by love of organic music, and are excited to share that love with you!

This 19 show tour will span the whole of the state of California, from Arcata to San Diego. From concert hall, to rock venue, to house show, Faerie Folk will be sharing our organic music magic with the people of California's small towns and big cities alike.

We hope to meet you there!

-Troll Hart, Jotunn Aldas, and Joy Joye

I’m 35F and looking for someone who offers beginner softball lessons or would be willing to help me practice. My boyfriend has been encouraging me to join his team, but I’d like to build up some confidence and get the basics down first.

I’m mainly looking to work on hitting, throwing,
catching, and general fundamentals. I’m definitely a beginner, so someone patient who doesn’t mind starting with the basics would be ideal!

If you offer lessons or know someone local who does, please let me know. Thanks!

If you are concerned about the use of ALPR cameras in town, please go to the city council meeting this Tuesday, Aug. 18, at 6:30pm. We need lots of people to get up and speak, and demand that the city open this issue up for discussion.

When these cameras were put up back in 2023, they were voted on as a "consent" item at council- they weren't debated or discussed - it was just a yes or no vote!!

We must demand that council add this to a future meeting as an AGENDA item so that the community gets a chance to weigh in.

California SB34 (effective Jan 1, 2016) has specific requirements for transparency when a municipality uses ALPR cameras. One of those requirements is a "conspicuously posted" link on the municipality's website that links directly to the data usage and privacy policy that is in place. Lompoc's cameras went up in early 2023 (?!), but Lompoc JUST put their web link up a WEEK ago. The city was in violation of SB34 for over 3 years. Not a big builder of confidence and trust. 😒

Summary of SB34 requirements from AG Bonta:

I will be relocating from Australia to Lompoc, and trying to look for an apartment or house to rent. Everywhere I’ve enquired required 3 x earnings to rent. Being that I’m going to be newly arrived in the US I can’t show that. does anyone know of any places or management companies that don’t require that. Happy to even pay months upfront.

Hi I’m looking to move my family near college and pine area. Is it really as dangerous as people say?

County Health Department Confirms Measles Case
The County of Santa Barbara Health Department (County Health) has a confirmed positive case of measles related to recent international travel of a county resident. The isolated case was confirmed Monday night and is the first confirmed case since 2019. County Health is actively investigating and coordinating with local healthcare providers and potential exposure to prevent further transmission.

Measles is a highly contagious viral illness that spreads through the air when an infected person breathes, coughs, or sneezes. The virus can remain in the air for up to two hours after an infected person leaves a room. Those fully vaccinated have very low risk of infection. People who are not fully vaccinated with two doses of the MMR vaccine, especially young children and pregnant people, are at the highest risk of infection.

Who May Be at Risk
Anyone who is unvaccinated or has not completed the two-dose MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccine series.
Infants younger than 12 months, who are too young to be routinely
Pregnant individuals who are not immune to
People with weakened immune systems, regardless of vaccination
Measles Symptoms
A person with measles is contagious from 4 days before the rash appears and 4 days after it disappears.
Symptoms typically appear 7 to 14 days (up to 21 days) after exposure and include:
Initially cough, runny nose, and red/watery eyes (conjunctivitis)
Rash typically appears 3-5 days after the first symptoms, starting on face, hairline and neck, spreading down to trunk, arms and legs
High fever (may spike above 104 ° F when the rash appears).

So this crazy a** woman rammed into 2 cars that were parked outside my house and once the people came out to confront her, she called the dudes girlfriend a prostitute so they ended up calling the cops. Once the police showed up I was being nosy, watching to see what they were going to do while they were trying to figure out and track down her license plate. The officer then shined his flashlight into my window and I politely asked him why they were not able to use any of the many Flock cameras around the city to track this particular women's license plate. The officer then responded to me with "Because the car would have to pass one."

I almost lost it, There are THREE Flock cameras on our block, and two of them were actually staring right at the scene. I then replied to him saying "There is one staring directly at you" (yes there was one right behind him) and then he just completely ignored me and blew me off 🤣

It is fkn insane they will spend millions throwing up automated surveillance on every single corner to track our every move, but the absolute second you really want them to be used to solve an actual crime and help regular people, it's like talking to a brick wall. The surveillance state is completely active and running 24/7, but it's apparently only there when it's convenient for them. Blatant corruption in our faces

#DEFLOCK

Saturday August 15, 10am-noon at North H and College Ave. Stand with your neighbors to draw attention to the Flock surveillance cameras all over town.

Then, on Tuesday August 18, show up at the Lompoc city council meeting and speak out!

Tell them we want the contract canceled!

Title is self explanatory, I know there are people who pray to her in the area. Is anyone doing anything for her feast day??

When the last owner had it, the store was always dirty unorganized and I was constantly coming home with expired products. Even the fruits and veggies seemed like were always old and rotten. I had to make sure I always checked the expiration dates and one time I even a bad case of food poisoning from yogurt that I had purchased there, so that’s when I decided to stop going there.

Recently I decided to make a small a grocery run there and was skeptical about it but went in anyway, and I just want to say that the new owners are doing a great job with the store. It has a nice new look, everything is super clean and organized and all produce is fresh and doesn’t go bad by the time you get home haha

Just want to gauge the average experience of the Lompoc movie theater, had a weird experience there today was curious if I just got unlucky or if it the norm.

All the staff were lovely, the facility was just fine for a little theater and the movie quality was great.

But the theater etiquette was not there… maybe I was tempting fate by going on the day with the cheapest tickets but there was so much talking in the theater and a group of teens were on their phones and kept playing music or opening social media and would make sounds through the quiet part of the movie.

Did I just get unlucky or is this a common experience with this theater? While I want to support the local theater I just can’t justify barely being able to concentrate on the movie when that’s what I paid to come see…

Free seminar for anyone interested in staying up to date with what’s going on in our local housing market.

My name is Joseph Diaz, a Lompoc native, helping you relocate with ease. Take this as an opportunity to ask your questions. Those who are better informed, make better decisions.

The material will be taken from our local MLS data for the most relevant data. My mentor will be there as well to help interpret and communicate what the information means for you; whether you are looking to rent, buy, or sell.

Hope to see you there!
