ON THE COVER: If you’ve lived in Santa Barbara for any significant period of time, you’ve probably logged some hours at our lovely outdoor venue, the Bowl. The cover image, taken at a 311 concert in 2007, shows just how popular the amphitheater really is. Read more about the Bowl and why we’re able to get some of the biggest acts out there in this week’s cover story by Charles Donelan. Cover photo by Paul Wellman.
