Hiya. I'm Rich Kane, editor of Laguna Beach Patch since the site launched in Dec. 2010.
I've lived in Orange County off and on for 25 years, in La Habra, Irvine, Placentia and Seal Beach. I've worked in Costa Mesa, Santa Ana and Brea (Music Plus, yo!). And I went to college in Fullerton.
You may have seen my byline over the years in the Los Angeles Times, the Orange County Register, Orange Coast Magazine or the Long Beach Press-Telegram (where 11-year-old girls penned letters threatening me with bodily harm after reading my reviews of Spice Girls and Backstreet Boys concerts). Or you may know me from the seven years I spent as the Music Editor of OC Weekly, or my stint there as the paper's Managing Editor.
Got a hot story tip? Shoot me an e-mail at rich.kane@patch.com.
