Jack Johnson at UCSB

UCSB's Storke Plaza

Today was no ordinary Wednesday at UCSB. Jack Johnson, a UCSB alumni, made a surprise visit to the campus this afternoon as a tribute to the UCSB students lost this last May due to the tragedy that occurred in Isla Vista. There was no email, no announcement, no notice at all that the former Gaucho would be performing today. Rather, people followed the music to Storke Tower where they were greeted by the sweet tunes of Jack Johnson. Though not a UCSB student, I still feel very connected to the community as a resident of Isla Vista. It is awesome to have such a great community, of both UCSB and CC students, stand together through the good times and the bad.

The Legend Himself 

I'm glad to have been part of this day of remembrance for those lost on May 23, and an extra shout out to Jack Johnson for giving a great performance that not only brought UCSB students together, but also the community of Isla Vista. I truly love where I live!
