This was my first time ever going to The Fillmore. I went to see The HU!…read more I was really impressed with all the venue staff. Everyone was very nice and helpful, well ... aside from maybe one employee at the bar who didn't seem to care to answer my questions about the food, but finally did after way too much effort of repeatedly asking on my part. By the way, I'd recommend that if you're hungry, you eat before you go! The little 'food' they have isn't even guaranteed to be there and yeah, maybe you know this already, but my GOD it was expensive! More than $9 for a not-large bag of chips and a bit of dip to go with them. The dip was hot, so that was nice! Of course, eating this without a table can be .... drippy! Other than that one person, though, everyone else was really super-duper nice and helpful, thank goodness! I got to encounter the bag-check guy because I'd brought in a backpack, not knowing that wasn't allowed. I'm glad I got out all my essentials and had them in my jacket pocket so I didn't have to go fumbling through my bag to get them out when it was put away for the duration of the show. I found out, also, that you can't even have one sip of water in the venue if you bring it in from outside (Yes, of course, I do mean if someone sees you doing it or hears of you wanting to do it in advance of your ... not ending-up doing it!) I said I was going to take a sip of my water and was told, essentially, "Nope! You're not!" It was worded more nicely than this, though. This aspect -- niceness -- is huge for me. I've had issues and difficulties with other venues in D.C. -- yes, this is Maryland, so maybe people are nicer at venues in Maryland, but in this area I'd encountered some problematic workers at both Lisner and The 9:30 Club/ Nightclub 9:30 -- staff just attacking me for no reason when I wasn't bothering anyone, but nevertheless I was attacked by staff and so to be somewhere where nothing like that happened and I felt safe was a huge relief! Thank GOD! It's way more of what you'd want in a club-like experience than what I experienced at those other two. I guess most people won't want to do this because it could be a gamble, but just FYI, if you buy your ticket/s in person, you save on the fees you have to pay buying it/ them online .... That's what I did! I prefer the adventure and fun of buying in person! You can do that in advance, too, I suppose -- but I bought mine the night of the show, once it had already started. If you want to upgrade your experience, that apparently has to be done in advance. I didn't ask about it while there to make sure, but that's what I read online before going. It seems the 'Live Nation VIP' section is what that upgrade is. Apparently, they have a bit of more 'real' food (though I didn't think it sounded great enough, necessarily), and ... tables! Plus, it's directly across from the stage -- well, kind of. It's across from and way above it, upstairs. Most of the seating here ... isn't. It's standing room only. There are a few seats upstairs for people who need them -- you need to call in advance to secure one. The seats are thickly-cushioned and do not move. They're heavy metal chairs that fold down and up, but are securely attached to the low wall behind. Another thing that impressed me about this particular show was that the audience members were all super-kind. Everyone was smiling and welcoming! It's amazing how many really genuinely nice experiences I had with others at this show. As I heard another attendee say afterwards, there was a lot of diversity at this show that you don't see at a lot of other (I'm guessing she meant heavy metal) concerts. This diversity was showcased in a very visually accessible way through not only smiles and different dancing styles, plus arms waving in a welcoming way, encouraging one to go where they wanted, but also in the attire of the attendees. I've never seen such beautiful garments at a concert! Most people wore the more usual-for-metal-concerts mostly all-black attire but those who didn't wore some really bright fun things -- and then there were the gorgeous embroidered, brocade, silken and more in some cases traditional and in some cases modern absolutely gorgeous eye-feasts! In that way, it was more like going to see the Dalai Lama or another figure than a rock band. And The HU are great figures! The light show was really cool, and there was a huge screen behind the band showing images and lyrics. There are televisions situated on the balcony so you can see what's going on onstage in case you cannot get the full picture by looking directly from your seat or (standing) station. The hand dryer in the bathroom is the loudest I have ever heard! It was so surprising, it overtook my ears. Other than that, the bathrooms are pretty nice -- not great, but probably pretty great considering how many people must be using them close together (time-wise) and all that. Cool wall décor in the halls is appreciated .... Overall, nice!

The line to enter the theater was long, but the security and admission process were surprisingly efficient and well organized. The staff clearly knew what they were doing and handled the large crowd professionally. I would definitely recommend checking their website beforehand to see what items are allowed inside. My seat was in the balcony section on the second floor, and it was quite comfortable. I was also impressed by the security staff on the ground floor. They stayed attentive to the audience throughout the show, handed out water and earplugs, and helped people when needed. The opening DJ was unfortunately pretty underwhelming and felt more like excessive noise at times, but the concert itself was fantastic. The lighting and sound quality were both solid, and I had an amazing time overall. I especially loved how intimate the venue felt and how close the audience could be to the artist, making the interaction feel more personal. There is also public parking a few blocks away from The Fillmore Silver Spring, which made getting there convenient. They also sell food and drinks inside, although we skipped them this time.

This review of the takoma parking campus is based on my experience while I was there from 2016-2018 and not anywhere if any new update to the campus. When comparing the 3 Montgomery College campuses the takoma park campus is the most outdated and old. On one side of the campus you got old building for all the majors and on the other side you have a newer building for all the health science majors. There is a pedestrian bridge that connect the two side together and below is a metro rail. The campus has vending machine and a computer lab where you can go to do work on the computer. There is garage parking on both side of the campus and sometime there is crime of breaking into car and stealing valuable if you leave them in your car. My car got scratches when I parked in the garage. The teachers I had for my anatomy class & sociology were very good when I took them at this campus. All in all, unless you are majoring in the health science majors or looking for a specific professor for your class then I wouldn't recommend coming to this campus compare to the other 2 MC locations.

There are some benches but it's best to bring your own chairs. The beer garden was disappointing because it was only beer--no wine, mead, or cider. And there were only two breweries with limited offerings. It was a cute setup but the furniture looked flea-ridden. We sat on the least chairs with the least amount of fabric. Food and shopping vendors were limited and disappointing as well. One Thai food vendor that has awful food and then some stands that looked like they belonged at Fiesta Shows. Better to support local downtown restaurants. So when you come to this event, you are really coming for the music. Which is fine because the music was really good. I've been to a few DTSS events and this was the best one by far. Every other event has been dismal and I want better for Silver Spring. But the Jazz Festival is worth it.

Last year, those were free (and they were penguins - I did like these tables more.). We paid something like $80 for a family of four - admission, skate rental, and two balancers. Also, the skates were extremely oddly designed. I have never seen skates with laces so short before. I couldn't wrap them around the ankle of the boot, and as such they were very loose - so much so that I had to go down two sizes, at which point they were just pinching my feet. My kids also complained that they were too loose and then too tight. Finally, we started very soon after they opened and the rink was already difficult to skate on because of all the marks on it. We didn't see the zamboni until we were leaving, around 11:30. They really needed to use it earlier. I don't think we'll come back here to skate anymore.
