They had 4 stations, each station was a step closer to your zombification. You wear your own clothes that you want shredded, then there was 3 different station just for makeup! Then the last station, they splash you with blood. It was totally awesome. Bring the clothes you want shredded, don't wear it. Unless you don't mind stripping down and standing there in your undies while they are shredding your clothes. There is an area to check your bags in, you retrieve it at the end of your call time. You also get a beer ticket, t-shirt, and a medal. Once on the course, we were in first zone, right when the runners first begin. They come in hoards and about every 30min. I suppose if you're in the later zones, the runners are all scattered by then so you're constantly chasing/stumbling. For us, we got breaks in between. The only thing this event could have done better is have better instructions and signs on where to go. When we first arrived, we had no idea where we're supposed to go and to which stations. Other than that, bring your camera and prepare to have lots of fun!

I was a zombie, and I had a blast!…read more I loved the idea of a Zombie Run. Unfortunately, zombie tickets were sold out by the time I heard about it last year. This year, I got the tickets, I cam dressed in my Silent Hill nurse costume with bandaged face and all. They decked me out with makeup and blood. It was fun walking around LA after the run, without the bandages and costume, and watching civilians freak out at the blood. The runners were into it. Some were scared. Some had a sense of humor. One young lady ran straight into my thumb, and took off half the nail, and sprained my thumb. Another gentleman almost knocked me over, and bruised my side. They say zombies are violent! Beware of the humans! I loved how everyone wanted to take a photo of me, and how easy it was to scare the little kids. It felt good to watch the underdogs triumph at the end. I can't wait until next year, when the venue is closer to home in lovely Pasadena. Since most Run For Your Lives fans come from Los Angeles, it makes sense to hold it close to LA!

The breweries were great! I discovered my new 2nd favorite beer from Noble Ale Works: Naughty Sauce! It was a heavenly Sweet stout. The food was great as well, the watermelon gazpacho from Gypsy Den was fabulous! Also the beer infused dessert. To my surprise it was a Wine stand from Colony, a wine bar nearby (mental note: I have to go!!) Also It was great to see some fellow helpers and beer-lovers: Sandya, Joe and Roy. This event is a must for all beer-lovers, it's a great way to try all the new beers from local breweries. The weather was hot as hell but the sacrifice was worth it: with all the cool people, great beers, awesome music, what else can a girl ask for? I'll be there next year. Highly recommended!!

This event was held on January 11-12-13, 2013, so a Friday, Saturday and Sunday…read more It was touted as a Sports Collector's Expo To it's credit, it featured some big Hall of Fame sports names like Tony Gwynn, as well as local Dodgers, current players like Matt Kemp, as well as retired ones. Of course, it's a business, so these athletes charge for their autographs, but it's an organized system and a much better option for die-hard fans to acquire an authentic autograph that's guaranteed both to be real (as opposed to rolling the dice buying on sites like eBay where a majority are forgeries and you never know what you're looking at) as well as trying to hunt down these stars at the stadiums, hotels or randomly for an autograph not knowing if they'd agree or not. This ensures you get a clean carefully signed autograph, not a quick sloppy signature. The show itself from a collector's standpoint seemed somewhat one dimensional compared to most sports card shows. I'll say this, 'tho, there are very few sports card conventions now-a-days since the internet, both online dealers and independent sellers on eBay have forced both, many retail stores, as well as a lot of conventions into near extinct status. This was a good show if you collected vintage sports cards, mainly football and baseball from the 1970's and before. What this show lacked was dealers who sold: 1) Unopened Wax Boxes and Packs - both new and old material, but especially new current stuff that's hot that everyone wants to buy and open 2) Modern Day Cards of Current Players 3) Non-Sports Cards or brother hobby categories like comics, coins, toys, action figures (Starting Line Up or McFarlane) Sports) or other collectibles often found as crossover collectibles that are found at shows like this. There were a few dealers who sold a few new cards, but for the most part, this was not just "your father's" convention, but more, if you're a teenage kid today, more like "your grandfather's convention" unfortunately. Currently, there's a show called "Frank and Sons" in the City of Industry that is a weekly swap meet formatted marketplace whose dealers that vend there would have been perfect for this show. Missing were dealers who offer those bargain boxes filled with jersey and autograph cards as well as set-builder commons and star, semi-star and hot rookie cards. There was no energy to this show, and in fact on Sunday a lot of dealers packed up early or didn't show up, so it was an even more lackluster event. A word of advice to the organizer, you should build in your contract that all dealers have to stay for the duration of the entire show, since it looks bad when dealers leave, and those who pay admission feel a bit deflated. The cost of admission was $10 a day, not too bad if you knew what you were walking into. However, if you didn't like, want or need vintage cards, then it would take you all but 10 minutes to walk around and find out you just wasted $20... since it also costs $10 to park at the Mariott Hotel, doubling your overhead expenses (on top of gas for travel). I think this could be a great show, they just need to reach out to a greater more diverse range of dealers to exhibit and sell, which would build them a reputation and draw in a bigger crowd as well as possibly a younger crowd too that can continue supporting this show for years to come. I'd recommend changing venues to a location that does not charge for parking if at all possible or figure out a deal to get parking waived and complimentary. The $10 each attendee paid for parking could easily go into the commerce of the show, with customers spending that cash with your dealers on top of whatever else they buy. The publicity for this show was a bit lackluster, and the saving grace I hear was that Beckett Grading Services was in attendance, so they promoted the show and put the word out. The website is one of the worst I've ever seen in my life, so that needs to be updated, and using eventbrite to sell tickets and take a visitor away from your site is a bit amateur, I'd say invest in selling tickets direct to consumer, then you don't have to incur fees and maximize your profit revenue to reinvest into the show. I think this show has good potential to become a great show to service a need that's been missing in So Cal.

They split our group into 6 smaller groups so that we could rotate through the exhibits with ease. Lasso, black smith, arts and crafts (wildflower seeds), making adobe bricks, "museum" of home life and a history talk. The kids LOVED the adobe brick making. This is kinda messy. Kids are to take off shoes and socks, roll up their pants and mush around in mud. Then they take the mud, mix it with hay and make bricks. After they are done, the students get help with rinsing off the mud and drying off. Great place for 4th and 5th graders.

The only other Tamale Fest I'd ever heard of was the city…read moreof Indio and I happened to find out about this one by accident when I was getting coffee one day. Placentia's tamale festival almost looks like a scene from a movie. If you park at the non existent train stop parking off of Crowther and walk across the bridge, you get the perfect view of the festival. The first year I went, there were tons of tamale stands and a few were offering samples of tamales and asking people to vote for them, that was in 2019. Post pandemic, I didn't see too many tamale stands this year and definitely no one handing out free samples. I ended up waiting in line for Tlaquepaque's tamales, out on the street, then a passerby said I could go inside the restaurant and it's much faster and you can get rice and beans as well. I ended up going inside the restaurant and the line indeed did move faster and I got a chicken and pork tamale to go. You could also order sides and other items as well to-go and you could see everything being made in front of you. I did visit the corner store for the strawberry tamales from Imperial Restaurant and Market and wish I knew they were selling tamales earlier. The strawberry tamales almost taste like cake and I love this particular sweet tamale and look for it at tamale festivals. Imperial Restaurant & Market's was so delicious and I wish I got more than 1! Outside there was a stage that had entertainment all night long from Native American dancers to Christmas Carolers to Mariachi Divas. There's round tables and chairs as well as high tables spread out on the street for people to sit and enjoy their tamales, but if you're not there early they usually go fast. There's also a big beer garden area and the streets are lined with food, craft and artisan vendors. There's more stores and restaurants on these streets as this is Old Town Placentia and most of those brick and mortar stores are open as well. It's a great time to visit Placentia and get a feel for what the city is like.

There were several tamale stands to choose from, but I recommend looking for signs that say "best voted" or checking out the stand with trophies displayed in front--you can't go wrong with those! Not a big fan of tamales? No problem! They also have birria, birria ramen, burritos, quesadillas, funnel cakes, and churros. It's like a mini fair, complete with a beer garden. Plus, several surrounding restaurants were open and selling tamales as well. The entire event is vibrant and festive. I highly recommend visiting this festival annually--it's definitely worth it!
