Descendents are outright my ALL time favorite punk band. Being literally the first punk band I listened to, their music has such a lasting impact on my life. As their North American tour, with co-headliner Frank Turner and his band The Sleeping Souls approaches its final dates, Descendents continue to prove why they stand as one of punk’s best timeless live acts. They recently came through Anaheim, California for two sold out nights at the House of Blues on March 5th and 6th. I was especially excited to catch them because I first saw them when I was a teenager at The Glass House in 2022, and it was one of the best I’ve been to. Needless to say, my expectations going into this show were pretty high, and they did not at all disapoint.

Starting the night was NOBRO. They are an all female band out of Montreal, Canada, and I didn’t know of them going into the show, but they gained a new fan. Immediately I was drawn to the drummer, she was playing the bongos! I loved them, they were a great choice as an opener. They really had a bold energy that hyped the crowd up and took control of the stage. It was already packed for them, and they had a good pit going! This is a band worth listening to, if you like high energy, gritty garage punk.

Frank Turner and The Sleeping Souls were next. They kicked off the set with a cover of The Meffs “Wasted on Women”. This choice for an opening song was a perfect choice in my opinion, the pit opened up immediately, matching the band’s high energy from the beginning. Their set moved between heavier, more aggressive punk songs, like “1933” and “Punches”, to acoustic folk-punky singalongs, like “Be More Kind” and “The Ballad of Me and My Friends”. Even with these acoustic songs, the pit was chaotic! The energy in the room was so spirited and unified, everyone was singing, dancing, or moshing the whole hour and 10 minute long set. Frank Turner has great stage presence, and amazing talents. The way he interacted with the crowd felt very personable, and he truly made the show feel intimate. He took the time to reflect on different moments in his career, the meanings behind tracks, share stories, and even touched on the chaos unfolding in today’s political climate. One of the more memorable moments was when he performed a solo acoustic version of “Be More Kind”, a song written in an effort to simply encourage people to be nicer to each other. He explained that when he was writing it in 2016, he thought things were “as bad as they could possibly be”. He joked around about how silly that was of him, and how the song has even more relevancy ten years later. He gave a powerful sentiment on how hard it is to stay decent and compassionate in times like these, but how utterly important it is. “Don’t sink to their level. Don’t become hateful, angry, and small. Stay loving, stay kind, stay gentle.” He said that he’s seen a great example of that recently from the people in Minneapolis, and dedicated the song to them. It’s moments like this that make you walk away a bigger fan than you already were. After seeing him live and admiring how well a performer and person he is, this will not be the last time I see him live.

Now it was time for Descendents to hit the stage.

He explained that a fan made it and gave it to him the night before. If anyone knows who said fan is, or if you’re reading this, let me know. I want to tell you personally how awesome that is! By this time, the venue was absolutely crammed. This was definitely a sold out show. Milo yelled “Everything sucks”, Stephen started the iconic first notes, and the crowd was going wild. I was in the back, but watching the energy of the pit made it impossible to stay there. I pushed my way through the crowd and next thing I know I’m shoving a bunch of dudes around singing our favorite songs together. I never left after that. They followed it with “Hope”, “I Don’t Want to Grow Up”, and “I Like Food”. You can imagine how energetic everyone was by this point. Then they played “‘Merican”, which felt amazing to hear live and sing my heart out to. Milo even switched the lyrics up to diss Trump and the current administration. “Rotting Out”, “Myage”, “Clean Sheets”, hearing these timeless, classic songs live again, there really is nothing like it. It was a night of nostalgia for me, and I’m apart of their younger generation of fans, so making friends with people who have been seeing them for decades never fails to make me happy. I don’t really have much to say, as Descendents never miss. They are always bringing their A-game, and honestly so was the pit. We never stopped, even until the encore, where we got “Jean is Dead”, “Feel This”, “Sour Grapes”, AND “Descendents”! Waking up sore, beat up, and with no voice is always worth it for these legends. This is the best show I’ve been to all year, and I’m already looking forward to seeing them with Social Distortion in October.

I made these pants for my first time seeing Descendents in 2022, and will be wearing them until I can’t anymore. I think it’s pretty obvious that they are my favorite introductory punk band. Scroll to watch the snippets of “Silly Girl”, “Bikeage”, “I’m The One”, “Good Good Things”, and “Sour Grapes”.

Anaheim, CA (March 11, 2026) – Seven employees were taken to hospitals on Tuesday afternoon, March 10, following a hazardous materials incident at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim.

Emergency units responded shortly before 12:30 p.m. to the Tomorrowland area near the Star Tours attraction after reports of an unknown odor backstage. Officials said the incident was linked to building materials used by a contractor that caused a reaction in the work area.

Several employees began experiencing dizziness and difficulty breathing. Seven workers were transported to local hospitals for evaluation, while several others were treated at the scene and later released. As a precaution, nearby guest areas were cleared during the response. The Space Mountain attraction was evacuated, and nearby locations, including the Star Traders shop, were temporarily closed while crews addressed the situation.

Officials confirmed that no park visitors reported symptoms, and the affected attractions and areas reopened later in the afternoon.

The incident remains under review by authorities.

Our thoughts are with those affected as they recover.

Hazardous Material Responses in Large Public Facilities

Areas with multiple access points near Tomorrowland can complicate emergency responses. When incidents occur in Anaheim, responders often focus on quickly securing the area and assisting those affected.

Hazardous material incidents may occur when chemicals or construction materials react unexpectedly. Even small exposures to fumes or airborne substances can cause symptoms such as dizziness, irritation, or breathing discomfort.

In large venues like theme parks, responders may temporarily close nearby areas while the source of the issue is identified. Clearing spaces and evaluating air quality can help protect workers and visitors while the area is made safe for normal operations to resume.

The All Porsche Swap Meet is rolling into Anaheim for 2026!

Attendees can expect a Porsche-focused swap meet atmosphere where the main goal is finding parts, talking shop, and spending time around other owners who know the details. This is geared toward enthusiasts who like the practical side of the hobby, browsing tables, checking fitment, comparing notes on restorations, and picking up pieces for current projects. The organizers also note free Porsche display parking, adding a small show element for anyone arriving in their car and wanting to park in the display area.

Organized by the 356 Club of Southern California, this meet leans into the classic Porsche community while still working as a general Porsche swap meet for fans who want parts, connections, and face-to-face conversation. Even if you’re not hunting something specific, it’s the kind of event where you can learn a lot just by walking the aisles and seeing what people bring.

Happening at EMPI, 301 E Orangethorpe Ave, Anaheim, CA 92801, the location places this event in North Orange County with straightforward access from the surrounding cities. Expect a Porsche-heavy crowd, a lot of parts and accessories changing hands, and plenty of opportunities to check out parked cars in the display area, especially for those into vintage air-cooled builds and classic-era details.

So, if you’re in Orange County and want a Porsche-only swap meet with a strong enthusiast turnout, this Anaheim stop is worth keeping on your radar, especially if you want to browse parts and see Porsches in the lot at the same time.

A Nevada couple visiting Disneyland were hit by a large tree just off Main Street U.S.A. that snapped and fell on top of them during a “crazy windy” night at the Anaheim theme park, according to social media reports.

“My husband and I were the ones hit,” LeWanda Joseph of Las Vegas wrote on the Disneyland Magic Keyholders Facebook group. “The tree fell directly on top of us.”

A ficus tree fell on Tuesday, Feb. 17 around 11:40 p.m. on the Plaza Inn patio that was unoccupied due to the rain, according to Disneyland officials.

Two Disneyland guests in the area were treated by Disneyland First Aid for minor grazes and released, according to Disneyland officials.

The Disney Fire Department worked with multiple Disneyland teams to clear the tree overnight, according to Disneyland officials.

LeWanda and Mark Joseph were not seriously injured by the tree that fell near the Little Red Wagon corn dog cart between the Plaza Point shop and Plaza Inn restaurant.

“We had just sat down to take photos at the table when the tree snapped and fell,” LeWanda Joseph wrote on Facebook. “We’re okay for now. The medical staff came through ASAP.”

Disneyland First Aid is located just a few steps away from where the tree fell next to the Baby Care Center.

“We were walking that way and heard it fall,” Alejandro Javier wrote on Facebook.

Kimberly Barnwell-Joe said in the Facebook group that it was “crazy windy” at Disneyland on Tuesday night.

Falling trees have injured Disneyland visitors in the past.

A 20-foot-tall oak tree that fell in Disneyland’s Frontierland in 2001 near the Golden Horseshoe Revue, injured 20 people, including five children and two park employees, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Park visitors with abrasions and contusions were taken to six Anaheim-area hospitals for treatment.

Five Disneyland visitors suffered minor scrapes and scratches in 2008 when a tree branch fell near the Cafe Orleans restaurant in New Orleans Square, according to the Orange County Register.

Eyewitnesses said the injured visitors were pulled out from underneath the fallen tree.
