VIP is so worth it! I had the best time ever. I haven't been to beyond since 2015 so 7 years later…read morewas a good time. Definitely do VIP if able to- The amenities for VIP that we took advantage of were the free pastries and tea at the tea party, complimentary vip badges, the restrooms were amazing compared to normal GA restrooms. Not too long of lines and they had complimentary hair ties, mouthwash, tampons, and a bathroom attendant. VIP also had a section at each stage with tables to stand by. Very spacious for sure, which I enjoyed. Drinks are around $18 for a tequila Red Bull. Normal. The chicken strip basket had 2 chimken tendies and some fries and ranch for $17... not worth it. Definitely eat before you attend the show. Security was quick and the process from the complimentary shuttle service from the mall to the venue was nice as well. It made everything so much easier Also from the merchandise booths we got some pretty cool tech wear pants for $80 each (ugh) and an Above & Beyond hoodie for $80 as well (double ugh) Prepare to spend some money here. Also it's card only. Hands free payment Bring cash to tip Had a blast! Enjoyed Tinlicker, Coone, Ben Nicky, chris Lorenzo and A&B to close out the show. Thanks insomniac :)

Beyond and I will always have fond memories as it was the first rave that I ever went to…read more If there's one thing that I dislike most about it though is the fact that it's located at NOS which is arguably one of the worst venues for a rave. Nonetheless, the most recent 2019 Beyond was still quite magical and the stages were decked out for the theme. If you're looking for parking, several of the lots and shops will open up their space for you to pay. There is a $5 parking lot near the center but there is also free parking at The San Manuel Baseball stadium. It's gated and there are lots of staff members there. In all my experiences of parking there, I have always been able to leave fairly quickly and have never had my car broken into-- something that is apparently very common in San Bernardino. Overall, if there's a rave you want to attend then Beyond Wonderland is the best themed one! (48/100--2019)

Love that I am deducting a star because the tequila tasted like water. At least have Jose Cuervo or something because I went to the bar 4x on Friday night and it was literal dog water.

Meh. Countdown is awful nowadays. The people that attend are pretty fake and either look like…read moregangbanger wannabes who want to start fights for no reason, or attendees that fake PLUR their way with every conversation to steal your phone, or both. This year's lineup wasn't that great but the crowd was pretty bad overall compared to previous years or other insomniac events. For example, At Alison Wonderland's midnight countdown, these girls behind us were way too messed up so they kept shoving us from behind like animals. We ignore but one walks up and looks at my wrist to trade kandi bracelets and picks out one she wants. First of all, when doing trades, you don't get to choose what you want. Second of all, pushing people into others and not saying anything is just trash. That's just a mild example but it's not that great, honestly. Oh yeah, bring a long sleeve to survive the new year cold. You'll absolutely need it.

There is no better way to kick off the holiday season than Winterfest at the Yucaipa Performing…read moreArts Center! We had the absolute pleasure of providing our 'WINTERFEST' marquee letters for this year's celebration, and seeing them lit up at night in Historic Uptown Yucaipa was truly magical. The event is a breathtaking experience for the whole family, featuring live entertainment, a beautiful tree lighting ceremony, and Santa's Workshop. The atmosphere was incredible as the community came together to enjoy the Kids' Zone and the Beer & Wine Garden. The venue and the event organizers did a phenomenal job creating an unforgettable, festive environment. It was an honor to be a part of such a meaningful local tradition.

A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of coming to Yucaipa Performing Arts Center for the first time…read more What a gem of a place! A group of us were attending a live musical performance. The parking across the street was plentiful at the time we we arrived. We were checked in with our tickets and arm banded to indicate we were of age. We only carried what we needed in our pockets, so don't know if there would have been a more thorough security check if we carried bags. The people we met at entrance were friendly and welcoming. The first thing I noticed was the beautiful landscaped, outdoor space. Plenty of patio style seating with cushions, colorful lighting, fireplaces, and overall, a "Hey! Have a seat and hang out with your friends in this nice open air space!" Kind of vibe. There are outdoor screens so folks who wish to not be inside can enjoy the same live experience outside. Adjacent to the room the DJ and band were in, was more seating with couches, pool table, and other games, a big screen to watch the performance, and on this particular night, opportunity to get flash tattoos from a local artisan. The bathrooms were clean and tidy. The merch line was long but well organized. There was alcohol for sale. It was General Admission "seating" which allowed the crowd plenty of space to sing, dance, mosh, and move in and out of the space easily. The sound system took a bit to dial in, but once set, the place rocked. The stage area was spacious enough for the band to work all areas of the stage and shallow enough that we could still easily see the drummer. The AC was on, so even with everyone dancing it up, it remained fresh. Which is thing with sweaty bodies! After, folks congregated in the other areas. Staff were cool about letting folks hang out for a pretty long while afterwards, and were friendly and respectful when having to wrap it up. Overall, a great event space! I already look forward to coming back.

Where do I begin.... First off they're charging adults $20…read moreper ticket for a walk-thru which is already pretty pricey. So you would expect a GREAT quality haunt / halloween event. It was probably the worst halloween event i've EVER been too!!! All of the actors were children 6 to...i dont know like 14 maybe?! I felt extremely uncomfortable considering they were just kids from the local high school and the parents.. also very strange considering they are not paid to be doing this almost every night. The makeup was HORRENDOUS it looked like dollar tree quality makeup; IF THERE ARE ADULTS going to your event atleast hire adults or hire a better sfx team. Especially adults who are paying $40 for your event. Not to mention their instagram shares posts of the child actors and describes them in CREEPY WAYS; calling them "gorgeous" etc. like?! I'm shocked. Never coming here again complete waste of money. As someone who never complains this really upset me and I truly hope you guys stop ripping people off.

The Redlands Bowl is a wonderful community amphitheater. Finding parking can be a challenge. It…read morerequires getting there early. The venue has great acoustics. You can hear wherever you are. Seating is on benches. You do need to get there 2 hours early if you want to sit up close. Otherwise, getting there an hour before the show will still get it a seat. Restrooms are tricky and can be long depending on where you go. We saw Mary Poppins and it was so well done. Lifehouse Theaters was the catalyst behind this production. They did a great job. Admission is free however they pass a bucket around during intermission for donations. I truly appreciate that anyone can come enjoy a wonderful production without breaking the bank. Even though parking may be hard to find, at least it was free.

A local gem known to Redlands residents but not so much to others is the outdoor theatre on a hill…read moreinside Prospect Park that is perched over the San Bernardino Valley. This cultural resource was originally built and is managed and operated by the nonprofit Redlands Theatre Festival. Here in this small amphitheater, series of up to five live musical productions and plays have been presented to delighted audiences for almost 40 summers. Diane and I just enjoyed viewing the 2013 season debut of the very funny comedic musical "The Andrews Brothers," which involves three men posing as the Andrews Sisters of '40s fame during a USO concert. As always, the acting and singing were very professional and of high quality. This dramatic setting sports good sight lines to the stage below from any of the individual fold-down plastic seats. While there is no center aisle, the concrete rows in front of seats are spacious enough to allow spectators to remain in their seats as other attendees pass by. Stage lighting is good, and acoustics are excellent. This sculpted bowl setting is not particularly large, but it still comfortably seats about 800 theatre goers in close proximity to the stage, creating an intimate relationship and palpable rapport between actors and audience. Despite taking place during the hottest time of the year, all productions begin at 8:30 p.m. So, the outside temperature is usually in the low 80s. A brightly decorated festival tram is available to take theatre goers up and down the hill. But one can walk instead to get a good workout if he or she wishes. And, once again I did. But this time not by choice. After pointing out to Diane as we rode up the hill in the tram how steep the incline was and how lucky we were not to have attempted the uphill climb, as my bad luck would have it, just as we reached our car below after an easy downhill walk right after the production ended, we noted that a camera and binoculars did not make the return trip. For, I had left them behind in a bag under my seat. I felt rather stupid, but paid for my negligence with a near-breathless quick climb to the summit, and a return walk to the car as soon as a festival staffer handed me my bag, with camera and binoculars still inside, just as I reached the top of the theatre steps. I didn't say a word before the lady thrust my possessions at me. She just knew they were mine, declaring, 'You look like a man on a mission." I thanked her for safeguarding my goods, and she replied, "I've got your back!" This was very good, since this was the second time in a month that I left my camera outside in a public place, having to rely on honest employees to make up for my absentminded-ness. The last time was on an outdoor bench at BJ's. I realize the third time may NOT be the charm, so I need to pay much better attention to my valuable personal possessions.
