Talented artist filled the stage. 12 member band left them little room to move but it looked like they had a blast performing. Ordering drinks and snacks is easy but come early if you want to eat. The sound and lighting is very good in this small venue and I especially like that they don't have it so loud your eardrums are going to rupture! Staff is very accommodating and knowledgeable. If you have an issue with anything just ask. Bartenders are quick and the drinks are good. Expect to pay premium prices. Don't forget to grab some popcorn before the show start. Oh yeah, the upstairs bar is Cash Only! You can purchase drinks with a card down stairs then take your receipt upstairs for a drink. Find a concert you'd like to see and give this place a try! I think you'll enjoy it!

There are many wonderful public and private country clubs in Bakersfield. However, if I were to be…read morein a position to be in a private club, it would definitely be Seven Oaks! I've been a guest there, on several occasions, to play golf or tennis. The head professional, "Joe the Pro," was my first golf instructor, over 30 years ago, at the old Valley Rose public course, in Wasco. He taught me how to hit line drives with a 3 iron, tying it into my years of playing in organized, adult baseball (Hardball) since 1980. He literally grew up on the North Kern course, and he is a treasure, who anyone fortunate enough to have taken lessons from him knows! Jason, a certified tennis instructor, who is wise, beyond his years, focuses on the psychological, as well as physical aspects, of this game! The entire staff, as well as the executives, have gone above and beyond the call of duty, to accommodate this disabled senior citizen guest. My loyalty is to this incredible club. I will continue to work hard, in order to be worthy of being accepted into this ideal world, in the exclusive Seven Oaks area!

This evening was our second experience at BSO's Home for the Holidays! For us, it was an…read moreExtravaganza! From the 'Will Call' table organization to the Panama School Strolling Strings to the BC Choir and of course, the BSO itself. ABSOLUTELY SUBLIME! NOT ONE note out of tune. And, being a former semi-professional violist and teacher myself, I feel somewhat confident in making that statement. I played under Alberto Bolet of the then Kern Philharmonic and John Farrer, first conductor of the Bakersfield Symphony Orchestra. Those were the days that ALL conductors wore FULL-DRESS TUXEDOS that really get your attention that these conductors were absolutely serious about their role in leading and commanding very much deserved and earned respect as "THE" sole individual responsible for orchestral musical performance outcomes. And, SUCH a refreshing thing to see then (as it would be now) in an era of far-too casual dress at special performances like these. Many concert-goers know the dedication, wood-shedding-hours-upon-hours of practice and sacrifice these musicians must make to perfect their performance - as well as those who do not...but for me...that tuxedo says it all... Oh, what a fabulous tradition we have here in this town! A professional LIVE orchestra - available to the masses at all price points - in a marvelous theatre with outrageous acoustics too. If you haven't experienced this Christmas Time TREASURE - you are MISSING it! They even have delicious snacks before concert time, beautiful LIVE stringed instruments being played by the youth from Panama School in the lobby, coloring tables for kids, and adult beverages plus photo ops...ALL under one roof! Incredible - and for such a reasonable price!! The security staff this year far outshone that of last year's. AND, let's not forget the wonderful ushers that help everyone find their seats (and even improve their seating if necessary due to accessibility issues)...simply over-the-top. HEY BAKERSFIELD! LET'S FILL THE AUDITORIUM TO THE BRIM NEXT YEAR!!!! WAY TO GO BSO AND BC CHOIR! UTTERLY FANTASTIC! Makes me really want to pick up my violin again and teach. Now that's going some after 50 years...Don't you think so?

The symphony is wonderful, but it's not worth going. First, the box office charges you a…read moreridiculous amount in "fees" because they don't sell you tickets direct - they actually just log into axs, so you are paying an online provider even if you buy at the box office, and in our case the fees were 50% of the cost of our tickets. Fix this . . . Second, the crowd is unbearable. People were talking incessantly, standing up frequently during the performance, eating during the performance, and one person let their phone ring (not just once, but the same person with a distinct ring three times during the performance)(the conductor made a joke of it, but seriously, get a hint). If you pay a ton of money to hear music, you don't want the constant chatter, wrappers, and other distractions of the crowd. Finally, the seats are absurdly uncomfortable. They are much smaller than any venue I've been in, they are plastic, and they are mounted into a concrete floor. To be honest, I could probably put up with the venue, and rationalize the cost as supporting the arts . . . but the crowd, the noise, and the distractions ruin the experience.

When Bakersfieldians lament on the lack of local entertainment I can't help but wonder where these…read morepeople are looking? Bakersfield is full of events! Festivals by the dozens are cropping up every weekend, Food Fairs, and Home Shows. Our arts and music district are always putting on something fabulous. As for our local theater? You'd be hard pressed to find a weekend when there's not something showing. Gus' Garage was a totally new experience to me. I can honestly say that up until Gus' I've never been to a real live magic show. Only the one's on TV that make you wonder, 'is that magic or is it "TV Magic"?' So when I was told we'd be attending this variety show/magic show I was stoked. Something new and nearby! The location isn't what you may expect; over in Rosedale, as far away from the flourishing arts district as possible. It's inside a warehouse type garage - very unexpected. Parking is mostly on-street and no issue at all. Inside, the building is industrial chic. There's no real ticket window, and money is taken out of an old school cash box. Once paid, you make your way around to the back where the space opens up to the rafters. Half a dozen chairs or so line each row. A packed house would be maybe 30-40 or so folks. The show itself was entertaining. Perhaps a little silly and corny, but it's good old fashioned fun. There's a wide variety of talent and shows vary week to week, so definitely check them out. If you're looking for something totally new and different, check out this quirky show.

One near the beginning of the weekend to see all the works of chalk art in their early stages and one near the end to see the completed projects. They work all night long under field lights during the event. I like seeing the works in both the daylight and under the field lights. The Bakersfield Museum of Art has been hosting this event since 1998 and they continue to find ways to amplify the event. It's amazing to see The Marketplace lively. Reminds me of when I was younger hanging out at The Marketplace with folks of all ages enjoying the square.
