    Horchata
    Teresa R.

    We were not sure what to expect at all, when arriving, but were so pleasantly surprised. The comedy lineup was so incredible that we laughed the whole time! The food and horchata were incredibly delicious! The chips and salsa were free and the salsa was so very flavorful. It was nice having pitchers of water on the tables which were constantly refilled. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. A portion of the proceeds from the comedy show are given to Montgomery county nonprofits. I highly recommend going here!

    11.1.24 Give a Hoot Comedy Club is located in Shady Grove Plaza and is connected to La Mexicana Bar & Grill. There is a separate entrance (box office signage on the door) to sign in to the left of the restaurant. The comedy club partners with Montgomery County nonprofit organizations. A portion of the proceeds goes to these organizations. My employer had a show on 10/31-11/2 in which some of the proceeds would support our alumni association. La Mexicana serves food and drinks at the club. I ordered 2 flautas which came with beans and rice. It was average, not the best I've had, but our server was great. They have a battery operated candle that you could turn on to let servers know you need service during the show. What a practical idea! Venue likely holds up to 75 people if I had to guess. Since it's connected to the bar, it was loud. I really had to do focus on the comics so I didn't get distracted by the noise. The parking lot was full at 7pm when the club was scheduled to open with the show starting at 8pm. The lot was likely full from patrons at the restaurant. There is additional parking available in the lot down the hill. Although I wouldn't feel safe walking down there by myself at night. I'd come back here for a show, but likely grab a bite someplace else.

    This was so much fun and good food, too! Acoustics are great - important because I'm hard of hearing.

    Great comics. Reasonable cover. Had a great time. Every show donates some money to charity, which is very nice as well.

    Shows are inexpensive enough, and the greatest benefit is food from La Mexicana, which is next door

    I seem to find myself in the Kentlands area a lot lately but my 1st time visiting the Art Barn…read more My Cousin was debuting his new Independent Film and, of course, I am going to support. The building used to be a stable that has beautifully renovated. It definitely has farmhouse touches with the wood, faux pocket doors and rustic touches. There is a reception area on the main floor where there was coffee(I love it already!) and refreshments. There is accessible parking out front and an elevator for those who may need it to get to the theater upstairs. The theater is small and intimate with 99 seats. I wanted to take pictures of the theater, but they were doing panel discussions and I just didn't feel comfortable snapping pictures during such a thoughtful process. As I understand it, they also provide services to the community around art in the form Of classes, discussions and even camps for the kids. So yes. . . Gaithersburg has begun to grow on me even though I live in Southern Maryland. I live over an hour away but I didn't mind the drive. I would definitely come back again.

Representing the 4th quarter of 2021 in my scrapbook series is Gaithersburg Art Barn. The only times I was ever here was for the Manhattan Shorts Film Fest. I first attended on Friday, October 1, 2021. Then, Wednesday, September 28, 2022. And finally, Friday, October 4, 2024. I attended the Manhattan Shorts Film Fest on Friday, October 3, 2025, but Arts Barn was being remodeled so was in a temporary location. My friend invited a group to the Manhattan Shorts in October 2021, and wow I was impressed with all the short films. The venue itself is nice, historic looking building. The theater is relatively small that goes back fairly deep. Manhattan shorts is popular and does sell out. In September 2022, I went on a date here. I had met her months back, but coordinated a date for this. Date was alright, films were great again, and it was a 1st & only date situation. I'm not sure why I didn't go in 2023. Maybe it was off my radar or had other things going on. In October 2024, my girlfriend & I attended on the Friday night. We both really enjoyed the movies. In October 2025, it was in the temporary venue, which had worse vantage points for seeing the movie screen, which made me appreciate the Arts Barn. 2026 scenario has been much worse in general. I had considered going tomorrow Friday, 9/25/26, but the tickets were sold out. Thursday was not convenient as I am going to be in Rockville for something on Friday and have other plans on Saturday. My friend had texted me about trading for a different days tickets; I mentioned to her how I was concerned about my dad was in the hospital but had interest in general. By the time, I looked into it Friday was sold out. So, I figured this year wasn't meant to be. Hopefully, I'll go again in 2027, and my health (cancer) situation is much better (along with my dad's health) and better year next year in general.

Concessions are extremely overpriced, but not uncommon for these types of events. The bathrooms were port-a-potties, but not really enough for the crowd in my opinion. The show was really fun. I enjoyed the variety of performers, aerial, jugglers, roller skaters, contortionists, and more! There is a cool wheel of death performance towards the end. The performers were great and engaged well with the crowd. There were some light horror aspects and some comedy aspects as well. Overall, it was an enjoyable show and I'd definitely recommend it!

I didn't find out they were back until their second to last day, but I love anything horror themed so I had to go. They had a haunted maze in the tent with jump scares, loud noises, and a man in a chainsaw running around. It was short, but loads of fun. It did scare my wife since it was pretty dark with something lurking in every corner. They had two snack vendors (churros, popcorn, cotton candy, icees, sodas, and nachos), an arts table in the front before you enter, and a merch table with shirts and different masks (masquerade, horns, and such). The shirts were not on display so you have to ask for them. It was $40. About the same as concert shirts or theme park prices so that's something to note since everything is cash only (they mention this when you buy tickets). The seats are nicely spaced out and you get to see most acts from the sides. The only part we didn't have a good view of were the magic acts, so if you're a fan of that (they did have some amazing tricks) then you'll want any seats overlooking the stage and closer to the center. Otherwise, you'll get the gist of what's going on but you will miss pieces of the magic acts from the side. All other acts were enjoyable from our seats. They had great music, a live band during some parts, great lighting and smoke effects, and a few interesting performances I hadn't seen before. The aerial stuff I can honestly watch 100 times as that will aways amaze and terrify me. I also loved the reaction from audience members and seeing their minds blown. Circus acts are rare and some are incredibly expensive, so I get it might be a first for most people. If it is, then I recommend this one, if you love Halloween and want a reason to dress up, do it here too!

    The 2015 Montgomery County Fair is wonderful. Worth every penny of the $10 admission fee…read more The agricultural exhibitions are heartwarming. Seeing the 4-H kids care for and show their livestock is a privilege. These youngsters are carrying on a tradition that the USA mightily needs. The farm animals are adorable and many can be petted. Just talking with the Maryland farm families is fabulous. This year's food and drink vendors do not disappoint. Here's my recommendations: Be sure and get a grilled cheddar cheese sandwich sold at The Big Cheese booth. They're made right before your eyes and come out hot and gooey. Hands down this is THE BEST food item this year. The meals for sale at two competing church booths--St. Francis of Assisi Catholic and Germantown United Methodist--feature some highly respectable pulled-meat BBQ sandwiches (both chicken and pork), along with some killer fries. There's a vendor selling large ears of freshly roasted corn that be can dipped (or not) in butter before purchase. A condiment table offers all kinds of salts, hot sauces and cheese toppings. The roasting of the corn makes it nutty-tasting and plumps up the kernels. I could not finish my ear because it was so huge, and was depressed beyond words. Freshly-squeezed lemonade for sale all over the fairgrounds is tart, refreshing and addictive. The free entertainment is out of the ordinary and fun: piglet races; magic acts; a "chainsaw chick" who creates impressive works of art from wood; local dance troupes, etc. You name it, it's here. Of course no fair is complete without rides and amusements and the "Carnival" section has something for all ages seeking thrills. The high-flying swing ride is wildly popular. But you better act fast. This edition of the Montgomery County Fair closes at midnight on Sunday, August 23, 2015.

    The 2016 fair is so-so. It's kind of a scam if you're not really careful about how much you spend…read more You can park at Lakeforest Mall and take the ''shuttle'' to the fairgrounds (it's just a school bus), and then you pay $10/person to get in, plus payment for tickets OR a $15 wristband on wristband days to ride all the rides you want as long as you get there before 5:00PM. So if you get wristbands, you're already at $25/person. If you get food and drinks, that's easily another $20-$30/person extra because the food and drinks are crazy overpriced. Fries for $7? A corn dog for $8? Lemonade for $5? It's insane. The games are an entirely different ball game. AVOID them. The people running the games will taunt you as you walk by and make you want to play but don't. They're all rip-offs. $5/game seems reasonable but it's really not because you're tempted to keep playing until you win something and before you know it you've spent $30. Plus, that $5 doesn't even give you much - 3 basketballs at the shoot-out games and 3 darts at the balloon ones. Again, it's insane. The rides, on the other hand, are actually not bad. Some of them are uncomfortable and rickety, but the others are pretty smooth and thrilling. Getting the wristband is a good investment because getting tickets if you wanna ride a lot of rides ends up being more expensive. Expect lines. And if it rains, the rides will definitely close down. The agricultural stuff is okay. I didn't see a petting zoo this time, but there is a rabbit house and barns where they keep cows and pigs and chickens. It's cool and all but beware of the smell and the nasty pathways.
