I'd expect rates for 2012 to come out soon...Maybe mid August. Front of the line access should still be included for next year. There are a couple of attractions that don't utuilize FOTL. One of them is main attraction at WWoHP, The Forbidden Journey and Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit at Universal Studios. Since you are only staying 2 nights you probably won't be eligable for a Super Saver discount. The Universal resorts do accept AAA. Those discounts vary depending on the season or time of year.
Here are some money savings tips and strategies to consider for your stay at Universal.

Thank you!!! Very helpful! I had forgotten I enrolled in the Loews loyalty program several years ago. I probably would have forgotten about it when booking too if not for reading the article

If you are going to be at WWoHP maybe you can meet by the Hogwarts train, it's right at the entrance of WWoHP, now this "land" is all the way in the back of the park, so if you're more to the front you can meet by The Hulk, which is the first attraction from the entrance to the left.
Posted 27 July 2011 - 05:15 PM
I would say meeting near Hulk might be a good idea. At that time of day I would reccoment being near Bildge Rat Barges or Jurrasic park personally. WWOHP will be at its most crowded.
Another thing you can do is get a good toruing plan. Find out where it has you at that time and meet there. Then finish the touring plan together. I know the unnoffical guide has touring plans for universal. I prefer the second approach. The park is typically rated as one of the top five parks int he world (usually number 2 these days) and with the addition of WWoHP it can be extremely crowded during the busier times of year. Depending on what time you go in april this can be the case for sure!
Of course if you are staying on property this is less of a concern. So it might not matter where you start. I know when I used front of the line access crowd levels didn't mean much. Their fast pass system is actually very FAST!
Posted 27 July 2011 - 10:44 PM
My one concern was how crowded WWoHP would be at 1:30 on a Wednesday. The friends we are meeting up with, I believe, did not purchase the front of the line option, so I didn't either. I was hoping to talk them into it. Can you purchase it when you get to the park?
The other question I had, we are staying at a Disney resort & visiting Universal, so there is no early entry for us correct? If we go Thursday AM what is the best time to be there so we deal w/less crowds? We have a 1/2 day Wednesday & can stay late at night. Thursday we can have an AM start & be there until approx 6:30/7:00 we have ADR's back at Disney. Any suggestions on how to tour...our big interest is WWoHP.
(I will check out The Unofficial Guide too.)
Posted 27 July 2011 - 11:43 PM
No matter what, like in any Disney Park, the best time to hit WWoHP will be right whent he park opens as far as I know. Universal typically does not have as many people queing up in the morning. During slow times of the year there are actually very few people in my experience. I think wwohp has changed that a bit... but get there at Rope drop and you have your best chance at avoiding long lines. Just be there early enough to be one of the first people throught he tunstiles.
If you are interested in a good touring plan, grab touringplans.com universal guide. It is only a few bucks and can give you more info than any of us. I am sure you can go to the bookstore and browse the touring plans... but there is no substitute to buying the book!!!

Best time for WWOHP is early in the morning and late in the evening, I have been at both times and in my experience it's better late in the evening, people tend to go there first thing so Ollivanders and Forbidden Journey have the longest lines. One word of warning about Ollivanders: it's the longest and hottest line you'll make. The queu is all outside and the show only takes a cople dozen people each time. So plan to do this first thing in the morning or in the evening when the sun has come down.
Best day for IOA is Sunday in my experience, we went there in June and by 6pm all the lines were only 5 min. FJ was about 15m and Ollivanders was about 10min. Dragon Challenge doesn't have a long line thru out the day. Plus the evening gives the Hogwarts castle a certain mystery to it (can you tell I'm a HUGE HP fan?) Make sure to look in all the windows and all the shops, it's truly immersive in the HP world. If you have small kids that don't measure up to FJ or if you just want to take your time walking around the castle and taking pictures, talk to the Team Member at the entrance of FJ and ask them to direct you to the Castle Tour line, it's a separate line and you get to walk around at your own pace taking all the time you want and then it let's you out before the ride.
Also remember that a couple of rides at IO and US requiere you to leave things in a locker, these are free for the time you are in line for any of the attractions, if you can avoid backpack, try to, it'll be much easier. If not there are lockers next to Forbbiden Journey, Dragon Challenge, Hulk.
Sorry for the long post.

Other questions I have: I've looked at all the rides on youTube, so I have a decent sense of them. The one I could not gauge was FJ. What type of ride vehicles are they? & What type of ride is this? (is/are there one/two at Disney you can compare this with?) I have a neck/head injury where I can go on a ride like Splash Mt, Thund Mt, Everest & Soarin' but I can't go on Space Mt or RockRR.
Posted 31 July 2011 - 05:04 PM
It is not as intense as Sum of all Thrills, but it is the same type of movements. If you can handle that on the lower thrill settings I would imagine you would be fine on this.
Hope that helps

The biggest prob, the area is really small for the crowds. Many people are stopping to take pics (which they should,) while others are trying to walk through. Then it seems as if a lg group wait while some in their group explore the area, which is fine, but they're just standing around in these already tight spaces. The AC capabilities in the area are almost useless. Honey Dukes & Zonkos, are too small to offer any relief & when we got off FJ, they have these live action TV monitors, that confuse people whom think they are pictures from the ride, thus a huge back log of people gather in this part of the store. The whole "locker" situation is another issue.
I know it doesn't sound like it, I'm glad we tried it. I am always up for new experiences. I think this is something I would do again w/just my husband on a slow day & if our tickets were severely discounted.

From my experience when rates come out they are typically rack rate. Discounts come later. Super Saver rates are based on the number of nights you plan to stay. Resort occupancy is also a factor.

Created on July 10, 2013
About 15 miles inland from the Pacific Ocean, in the largest city on the West Coast, is MBDA's Los Angles Business Center.
To meet the diverse needs of their clients, the Los Angeles MBDA Business Center staffs two offices. One office is located on the campus of the University of Southern California and allows clients to benefit from the resources of academia. While the second office, located at city hall in the Los Angeles Mayor's Office of Economic and Business Policy, brings clients closer to the connections of local government and private industry. Their unique service model continues to yield tremendous results in providing the Los Angeles minority business community with valuable business resources including access to contracts and capital.
One of the highlights of the LA MBDA Business Center is its Annual Minority Business Award Program, which was recently held at City Hall. Beginning in 1995 and continuing every year since then, this year's awards ceremony recognized industry leaders that play a role in building the economy through job creation.
The 2013 honorees included:
Construction Firm of the Year: Alameda Construction Services, Inc., Kevin Ramsey
Distribution Firm of the Year: Omega Pacific Electrical Supply, Inc., Todd Lewis
Global Firm of the Year: Naerok Group International, Young Park

Professional Services Firm of the Year: Zeesman Communications, Inc., Bonnie Nijst
Technology Firm of the Year: JM Fiber Optics, Inc., Kenneth Rivera
Technology Runner-Up Firm of the Year: CC-OPS, Inc., Amy Dickerson
In speaking with MBDA client Deek Patel, CEO of GigaWatt, Inc. and the Green Firm of the Year, he said, "The biggest help MBDA gives us is connecting us with people who need our product and services. The federal government, state, and local governments are sometimes very complicated to deal with and contacts are worth gold. MBDA opened the door for us and provided the introductions we needed and helped us grow our customer base and our business."
Over the years the center's consultants have helped thousands of businesses in originating, analyzing and closing financial transactions as well as facilitating contract opportunities. Since 2007, the LA Business Center has secured $400 million in contracts and $104 million in financing for minority-owned businesses in Los Angeles. In fiscal years 2011 and 2012, the LA Business Center helped minority businesses obtain over $31 million in contracts and procurements.

Martin sends Rangers walking off in ninth inning
ARLINGTON -- Leonys Martin's move to the leadoff spot sparked the Rangers' offense in August. It was only fitting that Martin would end the month with his second career walk-off hit.
The outfielder came through for the Rangers with a two-out, bases-loaded single in the bottom of the ninth to defeat the Twins, 2-1, Saturday night at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington.Full Game Coverage
ARLINGTON -- Leonys Martin's move to the leadoff spot sparked the Rangers' offense in August. It was only fitting that Martin would end the month with his second career walk-off hit.
The outfielder came through for the Rangers with a two-out, bases-loaded single in the bottom of the ninth to defeat the Twins, 2-1, Saturday night at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington.Full Game Coverage
"I was ready for my approach," Martin said. "I was concentrated in my at-bat. That's no easy situation, but when you're concentrated, you hit the pitch you want."
Martin snapped an 0-for-10 stretch with a single off Brian Duensing that poked through the infield to score Alex Rios from third. It's the sixth walk-off victory for the Rangers this season. Twins reliever Caleb Thielbar recorded the loss, as he allowed a one-out double to Rios in the ninth, dropping to 2-2.
"He wasn't getting too out of control, wasn't trying to do more than the situation asked him to do," Rangers manager Ron Washington said. "All we needed was a base hit. He stayed short and hit the ball up the middle."
It was the 20th win for the Rangers this month, the most in franchise history in August. It marked just the fourth month with 20 wins in Rangers history.
Matt Garza had his third quality start with Texas, his first since July 29 against the Angels. Garza allowed a solo home run to Brian Dozier on the third pitch of the game, but it was the only run he allowed in his outing.
Garza walked the next batter, Chris Herrmann, but recorded two outs on a strikeout of Josh Willingham as A.J. Pierzynski threw out Herrmann attempting to steal second. Pierzynski has now thrown out 13 of his last 29 runners on stolen-base attempts.
"It was grind early, but then I caught a nice tempo about the third or fourth inning and decided to run with it for a while. It worked out great," Garza said.
The right-hander had to battle to complete his start allowing just a run. He put himself in a two-on, one-out situation in the seventh, walking Ryan Doumit and Chris Colabello on 17 pitches. With fatigue kicking in, Garza noticed movement in the Rangers bullpen, which gave him enough motivation to push through the inning.
"You never want to leave your ballgame," Garza said. "You train to finish it and train to go nine. You see guys up and it makes you dig a little deeper."
Garza got Clete Thomas to fly out to center and struck out Darin Mastroianni on a check swing on the seventh pitch, one of nine strikeouts for Garza. He recieved a no-decision for his impressive outing, conceding just three hits on 119 pitches.
"I had to make pitches," Garza said. "I didn't want to come out. I saw guys getting up in the 'pen, and I just kept telling myself, 'This is your ballgame.' You don't want to leave this thing with runners on. I made some pitches and caught a break.
"I just don't like to get beat. It's just what you don't want to do. You don't want to give in right there. You got two guys fighting, and you want to be the better guy there."
The Rangers managed just one run off Mike Pelfrey, who recorded his fourth no-decision in six August starts. He lasted seven innings, allowing just six hits and collecting seven strikeouts.
"Normally if you hold the Rangers like that, you feel pretty good about yourself, but unfortunately we lost tonight," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said.
Texas tied the game at 1 in the first on Adrian Beltre's sacrifice fly for his 21st RBI in August. The Rangers managed just one runner in scoring position after the first. Beltre reached second after a bloop single from Pierzynski with two outs, but Rios couldn't beat out a chopper and recorded the final out in the sixth.
"It didn't start off the greatest, but after the second inning I felt like I did a better job of throwing strikes and getting ahead," Pelfrey said. "Everything kind of fell into place. The fastball command was good and I was able to mix in a few curveballs and sliders. So I thought I had all four pitches working."
The Rangers have won four of their last five games. They hold a two-game cushion over the A's in the American League West as the calendar flips into September, the final month of the regular season.
"It's always exciting, but we've got to take it one game at a time, one day at a time," Garza said. "We can't overlook anybody and not take anything for granted. We just got to keep grinding and keep fighting every day and see what happens at the end of September."

Everyone Is Watching More TV, But Many Aren't Watching TV at All
A new study conducted by the completely impartial TVGuide.com concludes that Americans are watching more television than they ever have. But people aren't watching all of their television when the networks want them to.
In the site's Fall 2011 TV Survey, which queried almost 6,000 people, 32% of respondents reported watching more than 30 hours of television a week, which is up from 18% last year. But fewer people are watching TV when it actually airs. About 71% of people are watching shows more on DVR and on demand, 55% watch their favorite shows online, 62% are watching more shows online than they did last year, and 15% watch five hours or more of video online each week. That is up 11% from last year.
If this trend continues, we're all going to be hunched in from of the computer all night, downloading shows that never even had a time slot. It's just amorphous content out there for us to gobble it up as soon as it's available. Granted these are people who watch TV and know how to use the internet and properly fill out a survey, which is sadly a smaller sample than you would imagine. The good news is that America is picking up what you're throwing down, TV, now you just have to figure out how to deliver it when they want it.

Here is the latest edition of Week In Review - a series of weekly messages from the Mayor and City Council to help Richardson residents and businesses keep up to date on events at City Hall.
City Alters Lawn Irrigation Schedule
The City of Richardson is altering its irrigation schedule effective Saturday. The change allows for an every other week watering schedule instead of two times per month and allows an extra weekend of outdoor irrigation.
The City had allowed both odd and even addresses to water on the first and third weekend of the month. Even addresses were allowed to water every first and third Saturday while odd addresses were assigned every first and third Sunday. To alleviate possible strains on its water distribution system, the City is changing its outdoor irrigation schedule to every other week until further notice beginning Saturday. To allow for the transition, July 26 and 27 are also being added to the schedule for even and odd addresses respectively (see calendar below).
The altered schedule meets guidelines set by the North Texas Municipal Water District that allows every other week watering. For more information go to cor.net/waterconservation.
City Accepting Applications for Charter Review Commission
The City is accepting applications for the Charter Review Commission through Sept. 1. The commission will be appointed by the City Council in September and October and is expected to meet twice a month for six to nine months to examine the City Charter and recommend changes, if necessary.
Applicants should be able to commit the required volunteer time for board service as well as show an interest in the specific workings of the commission. Board members must be qualified voters of the City who have been residents of Texas for at least one year and residents of the City for at least six months, hold no elected public office and are not in arrears in taxes or other liability due to the City.
Learn more and download an application here. Watch a City Council work session discussion about the Charter Review Commission at bit.ly/1l9A118.
Council Discusses 2014-2015 Budget at Annual Retreat
The City Council held an in-depth discussion of the 2014-15 budget at its annual budget retreat Tuesday and Wednesday at the Richardson Woman's Club. The retreat is available to view on-demand at cor.net, and replays will be broadcast at 6 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays through Aug. 10 on CITV, Time Warner Cable channel 16 and AT&T U-Verse channel 99.
The City Manager will file the proposed budget for public review by Aug. 8. The City Council is expected to meet Aug. 4 to set public hearings on the tax rate and budget.
For more information about the 2014-15 Fiscal Year Budget, visit cor.net/budget.
Property and Business Owners Invited to Attend Discussion July 23-24
The City of Richardson has begun a Rezoning Initiative for four sub-districts of the Main Street/Central Expressway Corridor--Main Street, Central Place, Chinatown and Interurban. As part of that effort, property owners and business owners within the four sub-districts are invited to attend an interview session with the City's consultant team.
The discussion will focus on the uses and investments property and business owners in the four sub-districts may be considering, and the future land uses and development opportunities the study has identified for these sub-districts. Preliminary components of the Planned Development (PD) ordinance, currently being drafted, will be discussed as well. Input from property and business owners from within the four sub-districts is important while the PD ordinance is being drafted. A proposed draft ordinance is expected to be presented to the City Council and City Plan Commission in September during a joint work session.
The interview sessions for property and business owners within the four sub-districts will be held at the Richardson Civic Center/City Hall, Parks Room (411 W. Arapaho Rd.), and the schedule is as follows (please choose one date/time):
Main Street Sub-district:
Wednesday, July 23 at 10-11:30 a.m.

Proposed Belt Line Road/Main Street Cross Sections Address Mobility, Business Needs
The City Council on Monday reviewed proposed street cross sections for the redevelopment of Belt Line Road/Main Street that include four through lanes for vehicles, as well as on-street parking, large sidewalks, medians and turn lanes where feasible within the street corridor from Texas Street to Abrams Road. Additionally, bike routes are planned on Polk Street to promote a safe environment for bicyclists. The City worked with consultants to develop the cross sections after receiving input from the Council and community members in recent months. The proposed configuration of Belt Line Road/Main Street seeks to address mobility and local business needs.
The area is included in the Main Street/Central Expressway Enhancement/Redevelopment – Rezoning Initiative. With Council direction, the consultant team will finalize the street cross sections for incorporation into a draft ordinance. A proposed draft ordinance is expected to be presented to the City Council and the City Plan Commission in September during a joint work session.
Learn more about the study at cor.net/index.aspx?page=1438.

The borough of Laredo is to the east of the Cantabrian coast and offers
history, natural beauty and friendly people to visitors. The
architecture of the mansions, palaces, towers, churches and convents in
Laredo is particularly enthralling. Laredo's location means it is
blessed with beautiful landscapes and greenery. Hiking and water sports
are two popular activities.
many buildings overlook the beautiful beach

JUst a quick note. Yesterday we went to Motion at Pleasure Island to pickup tickets for the Tower of Terror 13k party and there was a huge line of people. Basically the line went from the entrance of Motion all the way back through Pleasure Island and its longest, back beyond the Adventurer's Club. The line did move considerably and we registered and got wrist bands for the party. They had some nice merchandise for sale, although at the time we were there, the register's weren't working so we just opted to buy the merch at the party.
Many are fearful of the weather tonight as rain is expected. Keeping our fingers crossed. GMR, Star Towers, Tower and Coaster should all be open for the party. If you wanted to, you could have gotten into MGM at 8am (Morning EMH today) and stay until 1am. Not too shabby!

text: Which is one of the reasons I have never believed Starfleet was a straight up "military" organization. A general-purpose starship like Enterprise makes sense as an exploration vessel, one that can fight if it has to but isn't specialized for combat and spends most of its talents on scientific research and field engineering. Contrast with combat specialists like Vengeance and Defiant, the existence of which is both rare and controversial and hard to justify except in the face of the most extreme threats. That's almost the exact opposite priority of military thinking, where the generalist designs tend to be the more controversial and have the hardest time attracting funding.

Discussion in 'Fan Productions' started by FalTorPan, Jun 18, 2008.
Is this your work? If so, then you should consider starting a new thread in this forum.
Yep! Oh I just wanted to mention how much I was anticipating your series, I also thought the site was very cool. I've been checking the updates and am very excited! I may start a thread sometime for our series, but we'll be working on our next episode for awhile.
And if you're getting married tomorrow, I'd also like to say CONGRATULATIONS!
For those that are wondering "When the heck are we going to see some of this animated stuff ?"
Well, the trailer for Power Source, written by Thomas J. Scott, will be released tomorrow (April 6th) under the "Extras" section.
I am interested in hearing what everyone thinks.
The trailer looks great I can't wait to see the finished episode.
Looks awesome!
Very good recreation of the TAS style - looks great. I like the character designs and the other ship.
Great stuff! I can't wait to see the entire episode. Nice work guys!
That looks excellent! Very nice work
Thanks all...I think I have personally worked harder on this project than any other I have done in the past (don't tell our other clients). The Filmation-style, for its simple look, is not as easy to put together in the computer as one might think. Computers like to 'smooth' everything out; while Filmation-style is one movement per frame of film (or sometimes 1 movement every 2 frames).
Anyway, I am happy about the positive responses, and I think everyone will enjoy the full episodes.
For those of you that are part of the Farragut forum, I have opened up a poll that will help me decide what fans would like to see with regard to the release. The choices are to wait a couple months and release everything at once (the whole episode), or release it act-by-act as it is completed. If we do the latter, I can probably release Act 1 of Power Source within the next month or so. Waiting simply means we wait a month or two for the full release.
Here is the link to the poll...it is open until Sunday...
Thanks for the link, I signed up for the forums and will contribute to the poll
I should actually ask the question here, and there are more generic fans here as opposed to the Farragut forums where it is mostly Farragut fans.
How do YOU feel about the episode being released in pieces (i.e. Act 1 next month, Act 2 a few weeks later, etc?). Obviously, if we get to an Exeter timeline that would be an issue; however, that is not the case for this particular episode.
Also, how does everyone feel about original music vs TAS music in the episode. I have heard comments about the TAS music really making the episode feel nostalgic, but wanted other opinions as well.
You have such a TAS looking product there, it really should use TAS music, if you ask me.
As for the release schedule, a staged release is fine, though I wouldn't mind waiting for the whole episode either.
Loking forward to seeing it either way.
For the music part, that is somewhat the way I feel. I am surprised that most fans would rather see an episode fully completed than seeing it in parts. OGAM and Exeter have done this, and it never keeps you from going back when it IS completed and watching it all through.
Anyway, I will probably end up doing that; using TAS music and delaying the release until completed....but keep voting and letting me know what the fans think!
I would prefer to watch an episode in its entirety, but I wouldn't twist anyone's arm if an episode were to be released in segments.
Thanks for the wedding congrats! As for my series, it's very slow-going, but I'll finish the first (only?) episode one of these years!
Thanks FTP and yw, hope it was great!
Releasing an episode in parts or in its entirety works either way IMO. Its good to have both versions floating around.
For those who are watching our animated site...a new DVD label has been posted in the EXTRAS section.
I don't have a question, just a comment: Holy @#$!
I am astonished by the quality of work I saw in that preview. I felt like a fourth-grader again, giddily tuning into Star Trek on Saturday morning.
I don't care what you release--I could watch an extended edition of the preview twenty times fwiw (which is about how many times I watched the preview clip).
Excellent work! More please.
Just saw the new trailer and can not wait to see the final product. When I saw it I flashed back to the original animated series and am amazed at how close a feel you have achieved. I half expected Kirk, Spock, and some of the other characters to show up.
Well done to you all.

Daughter says Norfolk County Council plans legal action if she doesn't pay care home she claims neglected late father
PUBLISHED: 10:20 19 August 2014 | UPDATED: 10:20 19 August 2014
A grieving daughter is angry that a council is threatening to take her to court if she doesn't pay £2,000 to the care home which she claims neglected her late father.
Lorraine Wedge's father Ronald Milner died aged 81 of septicaemia in April 2012 from a bedsore he picked up at Amberley Hall, King's Lynn.
Last November Mrs Wedge, of Friday Bridge, received an out of court settlement due to a lack of care shown to her father, but Norfolk County Council expects her to pay £2,152 for the three months he spent there and have threatened her with court and bailiffs if she doesn't pay up.
Mrs Wedge said: "My father died of a bedsore which gave him septicaemia. This was caused by his lack of care at Amberley Hall.
"I was that concerned about him I would visit the care home twice a day to check he was all right.
"The care home accepted he wasn't looked after properly. This was established when I successfully sued them.
"Since then I have had numerous calls and letters from Norfolk County Council wanting me to pay £2,152 for his care.
"They reckon his lack of care was nothing to do with them and I've been told if I don't pay up I will be taken to court and threatened with bailiffs.
"My father died through lack of care and I sued them so why would I then give them money for his care when they didn't give him the care he needed?"
Harold Bodmer, director of Community Services at Norfolk County Council, said: "I'm sorry to hear of the loss of Mrs Wedge's father, and the distress this must have caused her.
"This is about more than payment; it's about ensuring the care people receive is as good as we expect it to be.
"We need to review the concerns Mrs Wedge has about the care her father received and discuss the case with her, which we will do, before deciding how we should proceed."
A spokesman for Amberley Hall said: "We can not comment on any on-going dispute between Mrs Wedge and Norfolk County Council.
"We are liaising with the Community Services Team regarding the concerns raised about Mr Milner's care."

Q. I thought Coldplay do their recording at the Beehive and Bakery back home?
The Oracle replies:
They do - when they are back home. When they aren't and the mood takes them, they use local studios. They've done this many times before in places such as Chicago, New York, Barbados...

The Raptors are on the verge of landing the 2016 NBA All-Star game in Toronto, according to multiple sources.
An official announcement is expected shortly that will reveal further details of how one of the sport's biggest weekends will tie in to the Toronto Raptors' 20th-anniversary season.
Tim Leiweke, Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment president and CEO, made it clear upon taking over the company that landing the prestigious event was one of his early goals.
"Clearly the 2016 all-star game is a flag in the sand that we planted with the NBA. It is a must have in my opinion and it will be the centre piece of how we rebrand this," Leiweke said in May.

Car crashes through front of Brighton bar
Drinkers enjoying a Sunday-night tipple had a rude awakening when a car crashed through the front of a Brighton bar.
The crash happened about 12.10am on Monday at Mother's Milk, a bar on Bay Street near Asling Street.
The BMW failed to negotiate a roundabout, said a police spokeswoman, and crashed through the front of the bar. Around twelve patrons were in the bar at the time.
Part of the bar's wall collapsed, said an Ambulance Victoria spokesman, causing minor head grazes and cuts to a 29-year-old woman. She was taken to The Alfred hospital in a stable condition. A 31-year-old man who was with her was not injured.
''It was huge – it all happened so quickly,'' the venue's manager, Becky Beckett, told radio station 3AW.
''It was a bit of a blow but I'm just really astounded that everyone's OK. Seeing how far the (window) frame came into the building is pretty shocking so I'm just glad everyone's all right.''
The two people in the car were not injured.
Police are investigating the crash.

Campaign Activists Blast FEC Decision on Crossroads
WASHINGTON—Campaign-finance activists vowed to take the Federal Election Commission to court Thursday after it disregarded a finding by its staff that Crossroads GPS, conservative nonprofit backed by Karl Rove, likely broke campaign laws during the 2010 elections.
On Friday, the FEC quietly released a legal opinion by its staff lawyers that found that the "major purpose" of Crossroads GPS was to elect federal candidates, despite being registered as a "social-welfare" nonprofit group. The FEC's general counsel recommended holding a formal investigation into the group.
However, the FEC decided not to take any action after a deadlocked 3-3 vote by its commissioners along party lines. On Thursday, that decision drew sharp criticism from campaign-finance activists.

The College Station NIKE Training Camp did not fall short on quantity or quality of prospects working out at Texas A&M. Among the many participants was a high concentration of talented players from in and around the state of Texas.
Monday marks the release of the NIKE Camp results for the Lone Star event into the player profiles in the Rivals.com database. Several top players made their case for a top ranking including Rivals.com pre-evaluation Rivals100 wide receiver Terrance Toliver, top defender Von Miller, heralded signal-caller Jarrett Lee, and highly touted Oklahoma defensive back Ryan Broyles.
Toliver measured in impressively at 6-foot-4, 185 pounds and recorded a 4.47-second 40-yard dash. He put on a show in the one-on-ones as well. Plus, his measurements alone put him in contention for the top receiver spot in the country.
Quarterbacks also had a nice showing throughout the day. Lee, who claims scholarship offers from a double-digit amount of schools, came in at 6-foot-2.5, 192 pounds. The Brenham, Texas thrower chose not to test, but showed his skills during the one-on-ones and position drills.
The most impressive looking quarterback physically was definitely Allen's Nathan Dick. Dick came in not only impressively throwing the ball, but at the measuring stick. His measurements ended up being 6-foot-4, 200 pounds and put together a 4.43-second shuttle time.
Whether he ends up on offense or defense, Beaumont Westbrook athlete Billy Chavis looked good at 6-foot-3.5, 220 pounds. His days at tight end or defensive end both could end up being successful.
By far one of the biggest surprises was San Antonio Lee's Travis Lewis. Even though his junior year was shortened by injury, Lewis showed why he could be a big running back or linebacker. The 6-foot-2, 213-pounder ran a blazing 4.34-second 40-yard dash, a 4.25-second shuttle, and a 34.4-inch vertical leap. Lewis definitely helped his stock more than any other prospect at the camp.
Offensive and defensive lineman also showed their stuff and ended up with impressive results. Cedar Hill's John Jones, Lancaster's Anthony Morgan, and Jeremiah Hatch were three top offensive lineman that measured in very well.
Defensive backs Jamell Fleming, like Broyles, immediately increased his offer count after the camp. Both prospects came in just under 6-foot and both ran in the 4.5-second range.
As is usually the case with the Lone Star state, the class of 2008 gave everyone a sneak peak at what to expect in the next recruiting class with an early showing.
Gilmer (Texas) High School offensive lineman David Snow showed up at the camp as only a junior-to-be, but looked extremely impressive. Along with Paris, Texas offensive tackle Stephen Good, both should be heavily offered come first day of their junior year this fall.
Other 2008 prospects who showed well included Waco, Texas defensive back Victor Johnson and Southlake Carroll running back Tre Newton who is already standing at 5-foot-11.5, 194 pounds.
