Eric N.

I went and entered my car in the event for the 1st time this year. I had a great time with my car club members, but the event itself has some huge holes compared to other car shows. Here's the problems, and my car club and other car clubs are willing to help next year be better if they will listen and take advice. 1st: huge event spread across an airfield, however there was zero music or PA system near any of the cars. No one knew what was happening at anytime. 10,12,2pm engine start up times were a failure, everyone wanted to be included but it was unorganized. 2nd: They promote that over 2,000 cars attend, and that's a true possibility, lots of vehicles were there. I go to 10+ car shows a year, and I've never paid $40 early bird fee, or a $50 day of fee. This is expensive compared to most.... still not the issue The issue is you give away only 3 awards, 1 crystal award to a $150,000 custom build (that car wins year after year and is in your promotions), a T-Shirt to 2nd and 3rd place (same $100,000 custom build). Really, you collect Tens of Thousands of dollars and give that shitty amount of awards. No classic division, no muscle car, no nothing. Complete garbage. How do you vote for "cool" car? Obviously these 3 winners were event friends because they had VIP parking positions at the start of the event and they were all full of hugs at the awards ceremony. Pissed everyone off I was with, most inside jobs are hidden a little better. Give something to the people who paid the $40-$50 and worked hard on their cars. Because of the cloudy sky's all day, they cancelled the sky divers, and had about 5 single plane fly overs. Cool but it's an airport, we literally saw more personal planes fly in then the event planes. For a carshow featuring planes and helicopters, I guess I expected an air show/carshow standard minimum. Lots of stuff for the kids, and food prices were fair. Very week vendors, some vendors were selling 3 brown T-shirt's for $10. Is this a carshow or a swap meet? I get it, let anyone make money. I came with $200 cash to spend on a car part or something car related and walked away with $200 in my wallet. Here's a easy fix, Place speakers throughout the whole area, it's possible, most car shows do this. Or park the cars of a carshow around the stage, not the stage way over there away from the carshow. And fix your awards show from being "Fixed" before the day of the event. I'm going to post a few photos of recent awards from events that charge $20 fee. I'm quite sure I wouldn't have won anything but seeing other cars and real amateur car lovers win something is what it's about, not the $150,000 same car win year after year.

lower door mount which isn't there. Hennessy didn't disclose

As long as Mike Hennessy is a judge, I will not go. The worst repair shop you could go to. Professional excuses is what he excels in. Due to the worst work you can find. I have talked to numerous people that have been over charged, and had horrible work done. He doesn't care and charges you anyway. Photos are the body work he did. ( I have many more) All had to be redone. Is he making it right? NO Had the car 3 years. Claimed he spent $60,000 in labor with no time cards. Not a true car guy, just a self promoting flake my opinion. Need a car attorney. Maybe a class action suit?

Replica of car that James Dean drove when he crashed.

Just got back from checking out the Dream Machines at the HMB Airport. It was really neat! It's great to see restored cars & motorcycles. It was also fun to watch the old planes fly! $20 for admission (pp) which included parking...not bad! The money raised when to a great cause so it's worth it. It was strange yet interesting to see a booth for the Hells Angels! Would definitely go again...

Who am I kidding? What's not to like about the idea of a lobster festival?…read more Here's a quick rundown of what you missed this past Sunday in Half Moon Bay: 1) FREE festival. That's right, no admission. Just walk on in and see what's being offered. You're free to leave if it just isn't your thing - and don't ask for a refund! 2) Hosted near the beach! You can hear the waves crashing on the shore. And it was a beautiful, sunny day to boot! 3) Lobster hats! For $5. One size fits all. 4) This event is a fundraiser for the Half Moon Bay July 4th fireworks display, so the proceeds go to help make other awesome local events happen. 5) Motherfucking lobster rolls. Full of claw meat and drenched in butter. I get a food boner just thinking about that delicious sandwich. If you missed out this year, mark your calendars for 2012 - you know I'll be there. With my lobster hat :)

I met our benevolent COmmunity Manager Abby S here with some of her friends for the lobsterfest…read more Was thinking there was going to be rainy and cold but the sun kept peaking it's face out making things somewhat warm. Lobster rolls, chowder, fries, beers, and ice cream sandwiches out in the ocean air. What's not to like? The smart thing they did or this which they should do for most any impacted food truck event is have people buy tickets and exchange them for food. This cuts down the time people have to pay, make change etc. It really speeds up the system. There's a train ride for the kiddies and make sure you ask Abby about her sweet lobster hat.

Now with a kiddo, we're always on the hunt for adventures of all kinds. Love a good theme, and have…read morebeen hearing about the Half Moon Bay Pumpkin Festival for quite some time now. Since we wake up pretty early around here, we decided we would seize the day and head over to the Pumpkin Fest. Arriving around 9a, we found parking at a school close-by guided by a fun group with pumpkin hats on. $20 to park, but figured it was worth our cars being in a safe, secure, and near location. To our surprise walking over to the festival with others, the event had already kicked off with an early start which is always fun to be apart of. The pumpkin vibes were high! I love that this festival takes place downtown where the shops/restaurants get to take part in all the fun ~ you could see a few spots selling 'pumpkin' gear to add to the fan fare, but most people were dressed to pumpkin impress. I went with a Half Moon Bay Brewing Pumpkin Harvest Ale, and we also nibbled on a pumpkin muffin and pumpkin raviolis with brown sage butter sauce/parm later on our walk. My husband also grabbed a hot beef sando from the local cop/fire departments. I truly loved that every food/wine & beer booth was hosted by a specific local group so you could see where your money was going ~ from school sports to churches and non-profits. So many vendors! It was a cool group of vendors of all kinds ~ I purchased a pair of homemade pearl ghost earrings, and noticed the most busy vendor booth outside of food/bev was a 'spin the wheel for a chance to stay' at the Ritz Carlton Half Moon Bay. Quite the line! We stopped by Sacrilege Brewery & Kitchen for a taste of their local pumpkin/seasonal brews and met with some friends. We discussed what pumpkin treats everyone had tried ~ from pumpkin mac n cheese, smoothies and milkshakes, churros, seasonal kombucha samples, and traditional pumpkin pie and rolls, it seemed like all indulged in a little orange treat :) Fun entertainment of local and live bands playing throughout the alcoves of the streets, and lotsa people! We decided to make an exit as people were beginning to line up for the parade, but all in all, would def come back for an early day in Half Moon Bay again! They mentioned a pro tip to leave by 2p to avoid getting stuck in one-lane traffic back to the Bay! Until next pumpkin season..

OMG. I don't know what possessed me to come down for the HMB Pumpkin Festival. Was it the…read morebeautiful autumn weather? Was it the call of pumpkin related food vendors? Was it the parade? Was it the arts & craft vendors? Was it the challenge of securing a parking spot? Or all of the fore mentioned. Hubby & I left our house around 9:30 am from the City. We're about a mile from Skyline Blvd by Fort Funston. It took us 1 1/2 hours to get to HMB. Then we parked about .7 miles from Main St near where the giant pumpkins were displayed. Pros: * great food offerings with very reasonable price point. Focus on pumpkin. Primarily to fund nonprofit and school programs. * wide variety of arts & crafts vendors * very festive local parade held Saturday with the largest pumpkin being showcased Cons: * massive crowds * challenging parking. Several private lots asking for $20 or $25 parking fee All in all a great outing to last me quite awhile. I'd rather come down pre or post Halloween.

We hit the tail end of the festival this year so maybe my perception of it isn't as accurate as it…read morewould have been if I'd arrived sooner....but my poor toes are still recovering from being run over by strollers at the Pumpkin Festival, so I was a little wary of coming during peak-crowd hours.... As far as I understand, the festival is put on by the Chamber of Commerce each year to boost the presence of local businesses and programs. So the booths we saw set up in the middle of Main Street were less craft-y and more business-y than those at the Pumpkin Festival. There was a bunch of booze, food, music, and a cute demo by some high-kicking little kids trying to bust wooden blocks outside the Kuk Sool Won school....but it really didn't seem like too much was going on. Maybe it was just the time of day? Oh well. Next year we'll make an effort to show up sooner and scope things out. Good or bad, I do want to support these little local events as much as possible, because they're a big part of what makes HMB so special.

I'm not entirely sure what the purpose of Rock the Block was, outside of causing extra traffic into…read moreHalf Moon Bay. We hadn't known Rock the Block was going on, but my dad and I were aiming to go wine tasting along the strip while my mom picked up some biscotti from a different tasting room. This looks like an event that mostly appeals to the locals. There were some booths promoting local businesses and nonprofits, as well as (I believe) government agencies. I also saw a lot of signs regarding the upcoming elections. There wasn't any booth that particularly caught my eye. I imagine this place would be a bit of fun for small children, as there was a bouncy slide, a face painting booth (I think, as I did see a kid walking around with face paint), and some other kid-friendly attractions. The older crowd might enjoy the music and random arts and crafts stalls. Fortunately most of the businesses were open during the event, and it was just fun to walk around and people watch while wandering down the street. I'm not sure if it makes up for the traffic or the difficult parking situation, however. Overall, this is probably an event the tourist crowd and out-of-towners might want to just pass on.

I love seeing the field of yellow. It just makes me so happy. Sunflowers are one of my favorite flowers. They're just bright and happy looking and BIG! Whenever I was picking which ones I wanted, I told my boyfriend "it's go big or go home!" so I tend to always pick the biggest ones! Lol We ended up getting a dozen as he purchased the $20 per person for both of us. So much sunflowers! Hahaha I love it. We trimmed the stems in their tables area, and returned the cutter to the front. I saw that the person offer twine so I asked for some twine to help tie our bouquet of sunflowers. I definitely enjoyed being here, and I've been here twice so far. First time my bestie took me here to celebrate my birthday two years ago. Then the second time I came here with my boyfriend! :) They don't have a parking lot, but you can park on the street for two hours according to the street sign. Yes, there were so much bees and other little buggies around and on the flowers.

Stopped by Andreotti Farms while in Half Moon Bay, and it was such a fun experience!…read more Of course October is pumpkin season in HMB, which they had a great selection of but we decided to try our hand in the u-pick sunflower experience and it was a fun experience. To get this experience going, you'll check-in with the staff and let them know you want to do the sunflower experience. It's $20 for 6 sunflowers and they give you looper (thing used to cut the flowers), sign a waiver, and you can into the two different sunflower fields to pick which ones you like. If you want to walk the fields, without picking flowers, it's $12 per person. Once we paid, we grabbed our looper and headed out. We had the dogs with us, and they had a blast just walking around and taking in the scenery. We found the sunflowers we wanted, and headed back toward the entrance to cut and clean the ones we picked. When we were finished, they wrapped up our flowers in a bag with some water so they could make the journey back home with us. The staff here were amazing. Since it was our first time doing this, they were patient with us and explained their best tips to cut and clean. Very nice people all around! Definitely a fun coast side experience and a great thing to do when the weather is as nice as it's been. If you are planning on going out into the fields, highly recommend bringing shoes you don't mind getting dirty.
