Are you…
an artist or creative needing a platform to easily find inspiration
new to San Diego and wanting to get involved in the local scene
on your way to school or work and need new songs to jam out to?
Play by Play, originally conceived by writer Allison Payne, is an entertainment column aimed at highlighting a more intimate side of Rambler, homing in on the community and connections between creatives globally. Want to gather the insider-scoop on the culture of your city? Read on to view the frequented and most popular events based in San Diego (formatted in an accessible calendar), our very own Rambler teams’ favorite tracks (local artists, the classics, & releases you’ve never heard of) findable on curated Spotify playlists, poetry to renew your spirit, and an anonymously interactive, live journal— all updated monthly! Santa Cruz, Berkely, and New York will be joining us soon!
Monthly Mix Curated Just for You<3
Stuck in the same place
I’m certain that I’m hurting
Nothing left to love except for all of you.
Nothing left to lose
until we’re black and blue
Cursing my mind and crushing my eyes,
suppressing how you haunt me, I erase you.
No more pity for a coward,
I can’t wallow, just let you go.
Dear Diary…
This is where you come in! Be creative, or don’t, it’s your platform, and your prerogative to tell us what’s on your mind this February. Remember— it’s all anonymous, so share any unspoken confessions! Our monthly prompt is:
Tell me about the last moment you felt completely free…
