Yost Theatre // Santa Ana Orange County

2011-09-01T16:55:00.000-07:00

YOST THEATER

LOCATION: 307 N. Spurgeon Street, Santa Ana, CA 92701
EVENT: Show Saturdays
AGE: 21+

This is a video from the grand open of Show Saturdays at Yost

Santa Ana Orange County is the new happening spot for Orange County's new night life scene. The new Yost Night Club just opened about 3 weeks ago. It's formally known as the Yost theater but now on Saturdays they transform this theater in to a night club atmosphere known as SHOW Saturdays. So far Kid Sister has performed here and also DJ Dan. It's a two story building which has one big dance floor on the first floor and a one huge stage where circus like gogo dancers (similar to EDC Gogos) dance a long side aerialist and crazy men in body suits jumping up and down on stilts. On the second floor there is a smaller room with a different DJ spinning and also smaller tables available. There is about 4 rows of stadium seating available for anyone to sit in that over looks the main floor. For an OC club, its that coool. This Saturday LAZR TAG will be spinning and also MYNDSET.

I definitely will be there!!! Myndset is an amazing DJ who I hope see grow and perform at massive events like EDC!!

Just when I bought my Monster Massive ticket they announced that Kaskade will be the headliner for Saturday night. Of course I have to go now! People either love him or hate him after that stunt he pulled in Hollywood. I personally love him I just think people were being quite immature making a planking wall right in front of police.. I mean really?! Lets just get my clothes dirty by laying on one of the most dirtiest roads in LA. I mean have u seen how many bums live on Hollywood and Highland!! Okay okay enough about that! Avicii is headlining Friday! Fade in to Darkness ( not the one with vocals by Leona Lewis.. ew.. I love her but she just killed the song for me) is one of my favorite songs. Along with other talents there will be Alesso, Morgan Page, Gabriel and Dresden, Cosmic Gate ft Emma Hewitt <<LOVES, Showtek and MORE!!

Nos Event Center Tips

Last year in San Bernardino it was scorching HOT. Very comparable to EDC Las Vegas it reached up to 100 degrees last year ( well thats what it felt like). This year there is a possibility it may be up in the low 90s.
There are no seating areas so you will literally floor it if your feet hurt. VIP area there should an upper level looking over the GA people in the main stage. I love the sound system at the NOS Center you can feel the hard hitting bass. There should be cooling fans that blow out cold wet air. For bathrooms there are stalls and also a small indoor bathroom area.
At Raves it is easy to get lost so make sure you and your friends have a safety zone where everyone meets back at if anyone gets lost.

What to bring:
Conealed Closed Chapstick
Toilet Paper!!!
Rubber band for hair
Unopen packs of gum....what if you meet a boy ; )

Hard Summer Aftermath

2011-08-09T13:42:00.000-07:00

What a weekend! Hard Summer pulled in 30,000 people, less than last year at 100,000 people. I guess they allowed less people this year so it wouldn't get out of hand. They sold out at the door and weren't selling anymore tickets to the public. 16 Hospitalizations and 17 arrest... : / Come on guys what happened to being responsible and just having fun.

Anyways...Hard Fest to people can be considered more of a concert than a Rave. The rules were sure enforced to make it anything but a Rave.. No furry items, No Lights, No Kandi. Even though these items were not allowed it wasn't a bad experience at all. I mean do you really go to these type of events just to dress up or listen to good music? Personally I go for the music, dressing up is just bonus.

Rumors of Duck Sauce being the best set of the night.
What was your favorite set?!

Because Hard Summer was such a hit I'm expecting many people to be attending Hard Haunted. There will be 3 different events this Halloween so which one will you choose?

Hard Haunted
Monster Massive
Escape From Wonderland
VEGAS!!

Beginner Kandi Cuff Tutorials

2011-08-03T17:43:00.000-07:00

Kandi making is an art. Once you get the hang of it you can go to making crazy necklaces with dangling art to jumbo 3d looking arm bands! (I'm not even there yet :/ teehee) Pony Beads FTW!!

Where to Buy Pony Beads.
Pony beads are sold at local craftstores like Michaels, Jo Anns Fabric, Walmart, and Target.
If you want your beads to stand out from the rest of the crowd go to the
Pony Beads Store
and check out there vibrant color selection.

Shes soo Cute!! Her Accent is killer!

Loves her personality and how she explains how to make a simple cuff.

Orange Clubwear: GoGo and Rave Attire

2011-08-03T16:56:00.000-07:00

I know girls love to dress up in fun, flashy, neon, vibrant, outrageous, clothing at Raves. Yes, unfortunately the less clothing we wear the more we like it. Wearing pasties at a Rave is the only place people will NOT do a double take when they first see you. Also who ever thought wearing over sized furry things on legs was going to be cool?! We all see a a bunch of bright colored freaks set a trend and we follow a long =P That is why I love Raves!

Hard Summer Rules and Parking

2011-08-02T17:12:00.000-07:00

By far the most outrageous rules for a Rave but it's all done to provide safety and security.

No KANDI!! REALLY?! (I guess I'm not allowed in =P)

The Metro will also be available during late hours (Gold Line and Red Line). It Drops you 100ft from the entrance!
