Matilija Auditorium

The last time I went to this auditorium was 35 years ago when my older Cousin Amy performed at a dance recital and here I was last night all those years later and little has changed, it’s a quaint theater and quite frankly reminds me of the old movie theaters.
The air was heavy as in no air flow quality at all, so if the audience was warm can you imagine what the girls dancing their hearts out must’ve felt like.
I’ve said this previously about older theaters… if you want flashy go to Los Angeles, Ojai at heart is a small town that wishes to preserve the history and I for one commend them for that, which is rare because Ojai & I rarely agree on anything.
Parking was a nightmare though, I ended up parking 3 blocks away, the show was from 7 – 10 and by the time I left there was little to know lighting on the sidewalks to make my way back. Thanks to my trusted iPhone flashlight I made it to my car.
Most of all I was just so happy to see my Baby cousin perform, it was a fun night.

Saw a concert last night, David Lindley.
Sound quailty is ok, I would go back.
Parking sucks, and they have the school parking gated off? They could have open the parking lot up. Of course people in Ojai are pushy and stareat you if they do not know you, so just have to pretend they do not exist.
They over sold the venue so they were putting up chairs in the front row, as the muscians were playing? Just so «special» people who came late didn’t have to stand. Ummm someone is playing on the stage? Ojai people live in a world of high drama.
Snack truck was out front, pleanty of restrooms.
Just get there early for good seats (and parking) and please don’t sit in the specially marked seats.
