[QUOTE=Yeticus Rex] As another possibility, I have about 70 tickets left for the Ducks v. Kings game at Staples on April 5th. Just throwing that out there to see if it sticks on the wall. [/QUOTE] I’m interested, but that’s also the weekend of my wedding anniversary, so the date is…challenging. But I think it’s a great idea if others are able to go. ---

Late-night dining is available, and each restaurant can accommodate groups for large parties.

I don’t feel like formatting. Yardhouse on April 12th or 13th. If it’s the Sunday, the earlier the better in terms of evening time. ---
