Cayla graduated from UCLA with a degree in playwriting, soon after realizing that playwriting is not a viable career option. Fortunately, this led her to journalism, and she is thrilled to be part of such a unique and fun-loving team. Upcoming local events? Send them her way!

Do you remember Zima? I don’t, as I was only 3 when Coors Brewing Company introduced the light, lemon-lime flavored alternative to beer.
