We got VIP shirts which let us start the race earlier then rest which was cool. Mind you as you read this, I am not a runner. During the run, there were certain areas where they threw colored powder on you. Yes, it goes everywhere. When the race was over, they moved us to the stage area where there was a DJ. Which was awesome. He threw many things at the audience. Awesome race. Though, there was over 10,000 runners they raise a lot of money for children with cancers. Would I do it again yes in a heart beat! All I can say this is a memory I won't forget. Why, you ask? Because I did something out of my comfort zone and cuz I did it with 2 out of 5 girls (yes my daughters)

So many things wrong with this run. Not enough personnel along course. Cones and ribbon routinely…read moretipped over or taken away. Runners should have started first as they were a hazard in the dark. I question whether it was a 5K, my time was way too good. Only two black light powder stations and they were a mess of smell and dust. Parking lot needed attendants. The Hollywood Bowl lot is better and it is the worst ever, except for this. Water bottles a mistake, people left them littering everywhere and only one trash can. Hopefully no baseball games were scheduled for Sunday morning. The event organizers focus seemed to be on music.

We went to Rollerrama right when they opened, and it was a lot of fun at first. The atmosphere was…read moreupbeat, and it was a great time for families, especially with kids who are just learning how to skate. Once the disco lights started and the pace picked up, the environment felt much less safe. Some skaters were going very fast and weaving around children who were clearly beginners. It became stressful rather than enjoyable, especially for younger or inexperienced skaters. It might be helpful to offer separate skate times, one for beginners and intermediate skaters and another for more proficient or advanced skaters- to make the experience safer and more enjoyable for everyone. Overall, it has a lot of potential and could be a fantastic family-friendly spot with a few adjustments to skating flow and safety.

We've been here for birthdays and they were very successful and the children just loved themselves. The parents that paid for the birthday said it was very good price per child. My husband likes getting a pizza and some of the other foods from the snack bar. They have these really cool plastic walker things that let the kids skate holding on if they don't know how to skate. If you find a group to go with the group rates are pretty good. It's not the cheapest play date because you pay for the skating and you pay for the skate rental. But definitely worth it.

A little organization would go a long way. Today I missed my daughter's ride. Today was a "show" where they charge each rider $100 to compete with their teammates. It seems like it wouldn't be too difficult to make a schedule of when each group would ride. But they don't, or won't, or lack the requisite skills to get it done. I won't be back.

That wait can easily be 5-10 minutes, which is really frustrating.

We did not escape the psych ward, but I didn't want to stop. It was so fun and time went by so fast! We definitely can't wait to go again and try another room!

The Fries are perfect, the beer is cold and the drinks are very good. I've also had a patty melt, a pastrami sandwich, and a hot dog which were all delicious too. The course itself is in as good of shape as it ever has been, and you will not find a more economical round of golf in the state or maybe even the country. The pro shop is looking good and the lady who works the counter is a gem. The only thing wrong with The Kern River Golf Course is some of the players who are slow, and don't fix their ball marks, but you can't blame the course for that. It's sad, but a class in course etiquette should be mandatory before you can play anywhere. It would be much more enjoyable for everyone! One more thing, they just installed some new state of the art drinking fountains that provide cold purified water. Nice extra feature!

Thanks Kern River. I'll be back out for a better score soon.
