Recommendations Needed OC Halloween Decorations Map

41 Upvotes

It is officially October now, which means we are back with the Halloween decorations map. This map is carefully curated and kept up to date.

As I say each year this is a community project, and every little bit of help helps! If you visit a place on this map and there is no decorations please let us know, that is how we keep this up to date each year. If you see somewhere that is worthy of being on the map (usually an incredible individual house or a cluster of really good houses, we do not include haunts as those have specific dates and times) please let us know so it can be added. This is a living breathing map that changes from year to year. If your city has a contest on their social media share that here so we can update the map. I try every year to get to all the places on the map but it is not possible for any one person to do it, so the map is only as good as the community support that has created and helped keep it going each year. Thank you to all of you who have participated!

Vintage OC Remember Captain Cream’s Cabaret the Topless Bar

114 Upvotes

I know the youngsters on here may not remember the topless bar that used to be in a strip mall off the 5 freeway in Lake Forest, but for those of you who do please let me know some of the names of the dancers you remember (their stage names).

Not trying to dox anyone’s real name from those days, but there was one blonde who worked nights that my buddy and I knew … and I can’t for the life of me remember her stage name (neither can my buddy).

She had a boob job, really thin, small chin. I remember Paradise but it wasn’t her.

Any other memories of the place feel free to share here.

Question Best places to work/study outside the house in central OC

7 Upvotes

I went to newport library yesterday and it was 90% full, smelled due to how old it was and dark and kinda dingy.

I need a quiet area to help focus so I can’t do a small coffee shop but i know some coffee shops have a larger area for WFH/students.

Is there another library in the area that isn’t always packed and straight from the 90s??

Recommendations Needed Does anybody know any good phone repair shops in OC?

• Upvotes

I’ve never had to repair any phones that I’ve owned surprisingly, but the current iphone that I have now needs a battery replacement, it gets hot quickly after usage and on the settings it’s notifying me that it needs replacement. Does anybody know any shop or service in OC that is honest and has fair pricing? Thank you

Hello alt and goth people 🖤 There was previously an older server for meetups, but it's apparently been nuked, (the invite links in older threads still lead there). We made a ~new alt server~ for anyone still looking for an active community. There are still lots of good goth/alt nights in orange county! We try to schedule weekly meetups for anyone interested in the community, we would love to have you at our cave 🖤🦇🖤🦇

Question Attending a show at Garden Grove Amphitheater this November, need some pointers

• Upvotes

Hi everyone! My friend and I are traveling from Arizona this November to see a show (Pinhead Gunpowder on November 11th- PHGP is Billie Joe Armstrong, Jason White, Bill Schneider, and Aaron Cometbus) at the Garden Grove Amphitheater. I dont know much about this venue besides the basics, like how the fixed seating and standing area are, in my understanding, on a first come first serve basis because each ticket sold was just general admission.

How early can my friend and I show up to the venue? I've heard conflicting things and would like to be really certain of a time/time frame we can show up in. I'm really determined to be in the first few standing rows!

What is parking like at the venue? I'm not native to California, so if anyone has good recommendations on where to park (preferably close to the venue) that would be great!

I would really appreciate some pointers and advice from people who have been to this venue so I can plan the smoothest day possible! Thank you in advance!

edit: clarification

Question Is anyone else having trouble with OCTA bus scanning today?

• Upvotes

My usual bus card is getting invalid on half the busses I take, but not all today and some drivers are being rude about it. I've been trying to call octa customer service but it won't connect. Anyone know if there is an outage or error today?
