I had a great experience overall. If I could offer one piece of constructive criticism, it's that…read morethe heavy use of generative AI for the social media posts, website, and answering machine (the Laurence Fishburne voice) felt at odds with The Matrix. This isn't about AI ethics or its impact on creative jobs. It's that The Matrix is fundamentally about humanity resisting machines and corporate control. Using AI to promote the experience makes the film's themes feel a bit superficial, since it seems to contradict the message the story was trying to convey. I "spoke" to the Trinity bot on the website who said: "Artist are vital to our cause, but in the world where perception can be manipulated we must leverage every tool." I am leaving five stars since I personally use AI sometimes and am not trying to complain, and hope to come back and visit soon. I guess basically I'm just saying that some of my friends do find it to be a dealbreaker and will not support businesses that use these types of generative tools created by mega corporations.

The updates look amazing, especially the new stage for live music it really adds to the atmosphere. Huge shout out to Yasmine who was our bartender, and she was the best!

And although the site says the location has "Closed", it is not true. Barry Fisher, the band's founder, is still very active and in fact just played for the Los Angeles City Council and Mayor last week to kick off Jewish Heritage Month in LA. Great performance! They also do amazing cross-cultural blendings of ethnic music, like Klez-Mex-Ko, which is a term they coined for music they have arranged with Klezmer, Mexican and Korean influences. Highly recommended to check them out for something different.

Dance in this historic place to the legendary Big Band Alumni. If Post 43 runs out of spots, the Post 43 attendant will give you a pass to set on your dashboard viewable through the windshield to park at the Hollywood Heritage across the street." This is a very professional, sharp, finely honed Big Band with many older members, one in his 90's, who were former members of other professional Big Bands like Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, Harry James, Les Brown, and Count Basie. They were players who have worked with such artists as FRANK SINATRA, ROD STEWART, ELVIS, and LADY GAGA. Bill Jones and Nancy Osborne are great singers belting out Songs from the American Song Book. Teleporting us to the 30's, 40's, 50's. Added bonus is ordering cocktails at the swanky, art déco bar usually only open to U.S. Veterans. The building is a wonderful Egyptian Moroccan fusion. "It is a Hollywood institution, founded in 1919 by WWI veterans working in the motion picture industry. Its members have included Hollywood luminaries like Clark Gable, Charlton Heston, Mickey Rooney, Gene Autry, Ronald Reagan, Stan Lee and more. Today, Post 43 boasts nearly 1,200 Legion Family members made up of veterans, Sons, and Auxiliary." Big Band Alumni and the American Legion Post #43 Hollywood = 5 stars. There is also Big Band Alumni every Tuesday mornings at the Elk's Lodge 20925 Osborne Street, Canoga Park, CA 91304. Rehearsal and Dance, 11 am - 1 pm where the public is welcome.

They played for about two hours and were absolutely first rate. They played mostly standards including several songs that Sinatra made famous ("Come Fly With Me", "You Make Me Feel So Young", "My Kind of Town (Chicago Is)", and others). The playing was wonderful as were Bill Jones' vocals. Bill Jones even helped with emceeing by introducing other acts. There is nothing to compare with live music and this group epitomizes quality and professionalism. See them; hire them.

They are obviously Cars fans and talented musicians, dedicated to providing an authentic tribute to The Cars. My only complaint, if you can call it that, is that they don't play very often, and when they do, they are usually far away. If they went back to their old performance schedule like when I first started seeing them I'd be happy to give them 5 stars.

Not super huge but it wasn't overtly packed with people sitting / waiting for the show. We went on a Thursday night. The magic showroom was comfortable. We were sat on the wall booth which was a little hard to see at sometimes bc people were one in front of the other and not really staggered but the performers did move throughout the room. The performers were really great and entertaining. It was a nice time and I would consider coming back on another night
