Spring Splash 2013

Walk the Moon’s audience at UCR’s Spring Splash.
Spring Splash began with abundant shine from the glowing Riverside sun, a display of billowing pillow-trees, and a line of eager students. Attendees were ready with colorful spring attire, shorts, flowers, and money for the lineup of food trucks worthy of an end-of-the-year festival. Sunglasses in bright shades of green, pink, white, yellow, and orange saved the crowd from squinting, courtesy of ASPB. Yellow wrist bracelets gave access to Ferris wheel rides, bungee jumping, and fluffy chickens. In short, it was a colorful day at UCR’s quarterly music festival.
I Hiked to the C

Rio and I were trekking through the overgrowth on Box Springs Mountain, sticking to the thin, clear path of dirt snaking around rocks, when he threw out a hand and stood still.

Eaton Science Fiction Conference

Fellow blogger Rebecca and I walked in to the Marriott in Downtown Riverside last Friday with gleeful eyes. The long hallways of the hotel were filled with easels explaining the various lectures at the Eaton Science Fiction Conference. The variety of options made us linger like tourists in Disneyland, but we narrowed it down to “Inter-textual Narratives of Power and Identity in Science Fiction Television.” We made our way to the lecture room, ready to contribute to some major science fiction fangirling.
