Irvine Lake Mud Run's Summer of Mud: Big Luau, Beer Garden and Concert Featuring the Skeletones and Meet Me at the Pub Saturday July 17 and Sunday July 18, 2010 • Starts at 9AM 5305 Santiago Canyon Road, Irvine, CA www.irvinelakemudrun.com Human Car Wash is part of the race course, and afterwards there are segregated men's and women's showers and changing tents. And if you want to come for the spectacle, you only need pay $5 for parking. This isn't only a fun muddy run--this is a festival too! Everyone is encouraged to dress in costumes—as for a Hawaiian luau. Expect a lot of grass skirts, a lot of coconuts, surf getup and folks wearing Hawaiian shirts while they run. The Rewind Music Festival features the rock steady ska grooves of the Skeletones, who have had bands such as No Doubt and Sublime open for them and Venice Beach surf, skate, punk rock and reggae-beat trio Meet Me at the Pub. The party will definitely boogie when these bands start to jam. The Skeletones are a legendary 10-piece band, with a full horn section, that formed in 1986. They rock a mix of dancehall, soul, reggae and ska. With the nearby Beer Garden, Action Sports & Eco Fair and food vendors, it'll be a luau dance party to the max. And, the MC for the event is well-known KROQ and Sirius radio DJ Richard Blade. "We create our own mud pits on dry spots of the land at Irvine Lake," Rudman explained. "All we need is to add water and go in there and dig up the dirt a little bit, and voila, it's the mud pit! The venue back there is just incredible for what we do!" How can you not have fun?
