Pasadena Rose Bowl Arroyo Seco Weekend Day One In the Books

Day one of the first annual Arroyo Seco Weekend is now in the books.  Day two is gearing up.

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers the headliner for day one was a hit. Especially for those up close and not next to a cart path with hundreds of people trying to get around. Making it especially challenging was that neither of the other two stages had acts opposite Petty.

I am sure the organizers are paying attention and figuring out what to change for day two. And that there will be less crowds for day two.

Petty with 4o years of hits did not perform “Breakdown” which was anticipated, but Petty did plug his performance at the Hollywood Bowl for September 21, 2017.

There was some concern about ADA access, and that it was not easy for people to get around. Once Tom Petty was on the main stage area was packed with thousands of people.

The organizers have a ten year agreement with the city but the City of Pasadena can terminate after three years.  The wrap up report and list of compliments and complaints will be compiled and evaluated, as well as the cost to the City of Pasadena, police and fire personnel as well as other city staff.

We hope that the event will continue with improvements.

It was good to see Muir Ranch, Kid Space,  and other local organizations included in the event.   As well as local chefs and eateries selling their dishes.

 

Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers at the Hollywood Bowl!

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers on their 40th Anniversary Tour with Special Guest Lucinda Williams!  Hollywood Bowl, September 21

Tickets go on sale Thursday, June 29th at 10am! Get your tickets here.

Fireworks Illegal in Pasadena Fines and Jail

PASADENA, Calif.—Got fireworks in Pasadena? If so, you might find yourself making an appearance in court as all fireworks are illegal to sell, use or possess in Pasadena. The City maintains a Zero Tolerance enforcement policy for fireworks and Pasadena’s police and firefighters are teaming up for special enforcement patrols against fireworks. Violators are subject to arrest; having their vehicles impounded; up to one year in jail and fines up to $50,000.

Help keep all of us, our children, homes and property safe from illegal fireworks. If You See Something, Say Something! Call Pasadena Police at (626) 744-4241 to report illegal fireworks and other suspicious activities. Residents may also use the City’s smart phone app, available at www.cityofpasadena.net/citizen-service-c… to report illegal fireworks.

If you want fireworks to be part of your Fourth of July Holiday, attend the 91st annual “Americafest,” one of the best family-friendly celebrations and professional fireworks shows in Southern California at the Rose Bowl Stadium. For ticket and event information, go to www.rosebowlstadium.com.

Due to the high potential for fire hazards and injuries, Pasadena police and fire personnel will staff checkpoints around the stadium to seize all fireworks. Parking enforcement officers will ensure that vehicles illegally parked in Pasadena’s hillside areas on July 4 are impounded.

The Pasadena Fire Department will begin applying Phos-Chek on Thursday, June 29, 2017 to brush areas around the stadium. The main ingredients of this annual, preventative fire retardant are phosphates and fertilizers to help prevent plants from burning and re-vegetate burned wildland areas.

Pasadena’s Fire Chief Bertral Washington, Police Chief Phillip Sanchez and Public Health Officer Dr. Ying-Ying Goh urge everyone to make safety their top priority and offer the following reminders:
•Celebrate responsibly, always designate a driver.
•If outdoors, remember to use sunscreen, wear a brimmed hat and seek shade if needed.
•Fight the Bite, use bug spray/repellant to protect against mosquitoes.
•Stay hydrated, drink water or other nutritious fluids before thirsty; limit alcohol & sugary drinks.
•Many areas of the City, including outdoors, are designated as “No Smoking” zones. Smoking anything in “No Smoking” areas is prohibited. Always make sure whatever you smoke in an official smoking area is fully extinguished before disposing in appropriate trash container.
•Always have someone tending the barbecue and watching the swimming pool when in use.
•Call 9-1-1 for all life-threatening emergencies.
•Call (626) 744-4241 for all other public safety needs.
•When calling for help, speak calmly, give accurate location information and reason for calling.
•Visit www.readypasadena.net for emergency preparedness information; and to register your telephones to receive Red Flag Alerts or other emergency notifications.

Statistics show fireworks are among the riskiest of all consumer products. Even sparklers, which many people think are safe, are dangerous and can reach 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit; causing serious burns or fires. Nearly 10,000 fireworks-related injuries are treated in U.S. emergency rooms every year and two of five people injured from fireworks are under 15 years old. National Fire Protection Association statistics show about 90 percent of all fireworks-related injuries are caused by so-called “safe and sane” fireworks which are illegal in Pasadena.

Notice of Class Action Settlement
In Re Google AdWords Litigation, No. 5:08-cv-03369-EJD
U.S. District Court Northern District of California
A $22,500,000 class action settlement has been preliminarily approved by the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, in the case In Re Google AdWords Litigation, No. 5:08-cv-03369-EJD.  Your rights may be affected and you may be entitled to a portion of this settlement if you are an eligible Class Member.
Who Is Included in the Settlement?
You may be a Class Member if during the period of July 11, 2004 and March 31, 2008, you: 1) were a U.S. resident; 2) had a Google AdWords Account; and, 3) were charged for clicks on advertisements appearing on parked domains or error pages.
What Is This Case About?
This case alleges that Google failed to disclose to its AdWords customers that it placed ads on websites known as parked domains and error pages.  The lawsuit alleges this conduct violates California laws against unfair competition and false advertising.  Google denies these claims.
How Do I Ask for Payment?
To receive payment, you must submit a claim form no later than June 21, 2017 and have spent at least $1.00 on AdWords served on parked domains or error pages between July 11, 2004 and March 31, 2008.  You may complete the claim form online at www.AdWordsClassAction.com or you may mail your claim form to the following address: Google AdWords Settlement, c/o Analytics Consulting LLC, P.O.

What Are My Options?
You have a choice about whether to stay in the Class or not.  If you submit a claim or do nothing, you are choosing to stay in the Class.  This means you will be legally bound by all orders and judgments of the Court, and you will not be able to sue or continue to sue Google about the legal claims resolved by this settlement. If you stay in the Class you may object to the settlement. You or your own lawyer may also ask to appear and speak at the hearing, at your own cost, but you don’t have to. The deadline to submit objections and requests to appear is June 21, 2017. If you do not want to stay in the Class, you must submit a request for exclusion by June 21, 2017. If you exclude yourself, you cannot get a payment from this settlement, but you will keep any rights to sue Google for the same claims in a different lawsuit. The detailed notice explains how to exclude yourself, object, and request to appear.
The Court’s Fairness Hearing.
The Court will hold a Final Fairness Hearing on July 27, 2017 at 9:00 am PST at the following location: U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, San Jose Courthouse, Courtroom 4 – 5th Floor, 280 South 1st Street, San Jose, CA 95113.  At this hearing, the Court will consider whether: 1) the settlement is fair, reasonable, and adequate; 2) to approve the service awards to the class representatives; and 3) to approve the award of attorneys’ fees and expenses to the attorneys for the class.
