Thanks for Yelp Elite for putting together the "first five" package and hooking us up with the wine and cheese plate. Even in you aren't Yelp Elite, the $14 is well spent to get a delicious, packed cheese and fruit plate, plus two glasses of wine or beer. All proceeds go to Project Angel Food. The music tonight was Pete Escovedo Latin Jazz Orchestra, which is actually a pretty famous group, so extra amazing that this concert is free. They were AH-MAZING! I hate the location being such a touristy, congested spot, but the people watching, especially as they dance, is really quite excellent.

If you're sitting along the isle he might grab you for a dance, love him! I make it a special point every summer to set everything aside to be part of this lively event. The music is great and so is the crowd, always fun, always very entertaining. If you haven't been here yet, you're missing out, hurry up!

In terms of bang-for-the-buck, Sunset Strip Music Festival seems like a pretty good deal. It's $50…read moreper day, for 2 days. If you risk your life and go on Craigslist, like I did, you can get tickets for cheaper. On top of that, there was a promotion giving free uber rides to and from the event (we took advantage of that). Most of the music acts aren't huge, but a lot of the lesser-known names they brought in this year were very good! A rapper named Slim, and a band called Nightmare and the Cat were two good discoveries. I was originally drawn to this because Jane's Addiction and Empire of the Sun were headlining. There is a good amount of dust, so I would bring respiratory protection. There is also a lounge where you can sit and rest by one of the main stages that is a good place to rest your feet. We met a Hells Angel there and took a pic with him. The food at the food trucks is surprisingly good, especially at one called Me So Hungry - I would check it out! Also, feel free to dress a little crazy, you'll see some colorfully dressed people here. Overall, if you live in LA, I would check this festival out. I'll be going again.

As an event, you get 4 stars. If it were 2010 you'd get 5. As for this year's (2014) music…read morelineup, you get 1 star. So, I bumped it up a half point from the average for a 3 star rating. I was feeling generous. Went to Day 2 of the SSMF 2014, the headliner was Empire of the Sun. Not interested, but I've been wanting to go to this festival for years and I was either out of town or had nobody to go with. This year my friend wanted to go but he was only interested in seeing Day 2. I thought about going alone, but didn't want to feel like a complete loser, even though Jane's Addiction was the only band the whole weekend I even had the slightest interest in seeing. I wish I could go back in time to 2010 when Slash, Lemmy, Miles Kennedy, Semi Precious Weapons, Neon Trees, etc. played, or even the Marilyn Manson year, or last year's Joan Jett inspired year. But of course I had to go the year it was basically a hipster hell hole mixed with hip hop, which is basically my biggest nightmare, besides getting attacked by an overly made up clown, much like the one from Stephen King's 'It' only with giant talons as toe nails instead of clown shoes. Other than the music, it's a fun day to be outside in the awesome LA weather at one big block party. There are food stands and trucks and all the alcohol your liver never really knew it wanted. Something's got to give when your iPod holds your interest more than the band lineup of SSMF 2014. There are so few real rock n' roll venues and events left and I wish the Sunset Strip would stick to what it's good at, rock n' roll. There are plenty of EDM, hip-hop, hipster, etc. events. The Sunset Strip should be forever rock n' roll, no need to branch out, I feel like the attendance of this year's festival should be proof enough that a true rock n' roll lineup works better. Plus the fact that they scheduled it on the same weekend as the iHeart music event in Vegas makes me wonder what they were thinking...stop trying to 'be with the times and trends' and stick to what you know. It's like an Italian restaurant putting tacos on the menu, just doesn't work...

What better way to enjoy the different music venue's here in the city of Woodland Hills. I personalty have been attending these concerts for about 20 years and every year they get better. Sure many cites do have Concerts in or around different area's of Southern California,maybe this is 1 of the reason's we all live here. Music for all ages. Plenty of different food vendors and local merchants who sponsor the different concerts and movies in the park. Clean park and clean restrooms. A couple of important things. First is parking can be an issue,however there is parking available for $10.00 across the street and all monies go back into this event. Second there are no open fries allowed,no BBQ's, and sorry to say Alcohol is not allowed. There is an area here in the park for you to enjoy a cold glass of beer,but must drink it in the designated area. To all the employees who help and Volunteer your time each and every Sunday,Thank you all. See you next year!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They're like the ones you get a Windsor. =) All items were donated to this event so that's why everything was so cheap. So, great job as a charity event! Lots of stuff sold! I liked the line of food trucks...helped to attract attention. There were some games for kids but not a whole lot. I also liked the line up of artists, even though I only got to hear one. =) All in all, a neat event for a good cause. =)

We only went to see people we really liked so it wasn't as pricey as I thought it would be. There were food trucks but we chose to eat at one of the sushi restaurants inside the Convention Center. Food was good and reasonable in price. Lots of fun photo ops, including the set of RuPaul's new talk show. The photographer would drop Ru into the photo and it was so much fun. I only experienced a fraction of what there was to do and see. Oh, and while you are waiting in line to meet someone you can "people watch", which is an amazing experience. Next year I will definitely see and do more. A weekend of creativity, design, art, love and kindness. This will be an annual event for me.

The 1st annual RuPaul's DragCon! What a great turn out and an amazing experience!…read more Pros: - All my favorite Drag Queens attended! - It's close to home, (15 mins away) - Parking was $10, compared to $20 at E3. - There were a lot of vendors selling great products for less than retail price. - I got to dress up! Cons: - It wasn't in the bigger hall. - The panels were in really small rooms. - Sharon Needles was unprofessional & ungrateful to her fans. - There was only three food trucks. - There was no performances! Tips: - Bring cash! Most of the Drag Queens don't have a square device or card scanner for transaction. - There are power outlets all throughout the convention center so be sure to bring your charger . If you forget there are two or three charging stations with phone specific cords but that stations get packed! - Wear comfortable shoes! There ain't no competing with Drag Queens! I had such a great experience, and it was awesome getting to meet other fans of Rupaul's Drag Race. My views on some Drag Queens were changed in both a good way and bad. I was definitely star struck and I can't wait what they come up for next year!
