This was quite the experience for myself and my friends — going to an unknown music festival that is relatively small but well known for having the best atmosphere and great people. The Desert Hearts Music Festival is tucked deep in the hills of Southern California on a Native American reservation called Los Coyotes. The music festival lasted a full weekend, with the music playing nonstop from Friday at 10 a.m. until Monday at 4 p.m. This experience was like no other, and I knew I wanted to share some photos of it. So many unique people from around the world came together to experience the four-day event just to dance the winter night away. I would recommend this music festival for easy-going techno lovers and for those looking for a culture-based event where complete strangers become family overnight. And for those wondering, it is a 21-and-up event, so it was the party of a lifetime. Please enjoy these photos and others under my Instagram (@itschiddy) and my website somethingchiddy.com

PHOTO STORY: Comedian, America’s Got Talent finalist brings laughs to students
August 31Students gathered together Wednesday evening to see Ryan Niemiller, a third-place finalist from Season 14 of America’s Got Talent. Niemiller often made jokes related to the life he lives due to his disability, bringing up some of the challenges — but also amusing events — that occur. Toward the end of the show, Niemiller presented the opportunity for anyone in the audience to ask questions, whether that was about his disability, AGT or anything else. Students got a laugh out of this as Niemiller often gave comedic responses to the questions. Preston Rogers is a freelance photographer for the Daily Lobo.
