## HEY CUTIE

Happy Tuesday, CurationsLA Fam!

My Clemson Tigers had a rough one Saturday night, falling to LSU 51-10. We are turning the page quickly over here, because after a game like that, the only reasonable move is Good Vibes.

This week, I revamped the [CurationsLA Job Board](https://www.curationsla.com/jobs) with help from our AI colleagues at [Curations](https://curations.org/ai-curators). The Job Board has been one of our biggest community features since we launched in 2023, and I wanted to make it easier for Angelenos to find the next role, next collaborator, or next door that opens.

You can browse the Job Board here: [curationsla.com/jobs](https://www.curationsla.com/jobs)

And if you are hiring, you can post a job for free right now: [curationsla.com/jobs/post](https://www.curationsla.com/jobs/post)

Here's to today's Good Vibes, your next career move if you are hunting, and a much-needed Clemson win this weekend.

I hope you crush it today. If you need me, ping me at wyatt@curationsla.com.

I'll see you all on Thursday!

## ON THIS DAY

1966: Star Trek celebrates sixty years today; premiering on NBC starring William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy with the episode, 'The Man Trap'

## TRIVIA

A famous Star Trek fight scene, Captain Kirk versus the Gorn in the episode "Arena," was filmed at a real Southern California location still open to visitors today. Name the park.

You have probably seen this jagged rock formation in dozens of other movies, TV shows, and music videos, it sits along the 14 Freeway north of Los Angeles.

## TRIVIA ANSWER

Vasquez Rocks Natural Area Park, north of Los Angeles in Agua Dulce

Vasquez Rocks Natural Area Park in Agua Dulce became one of Southern California's most recognizable sci-fi landscapes after Star Trek used it for the Kirk versus Gorn fight in Arena. The jagged sandstone formations have since appeared across films, TV shows and music videos, while remaining a public Los Angeles County park visitors can explore.
