SPARKS

You've Got Mael

After visiting several bars in the UCLA area, I think the best one for our needs/wants would be the Westwood Brewing Company. The others were either too "proper" (and overpriced), or were more restaurant than bar. The BrewCo (as it's affectionally referred to by the regulars) is basically a sports bar/restaurant, with a couple of areas to which we can escape from the "sports" part, including a large outdoor patio. They serve burgers, sandwiches, salads, appetizers, entrees (something for everybody), which will save us from having to go elsewhere for dinner. They also have a jukebox (with no Sparks on it).

I was there on a Saturday at 5pm (which is when we will be there), and it was fairly empty, save for a few people at the bar and a couple of tables having dinner. It's also very close to Royce Hall. Not walking distance (unless you want to take a 25-30 minute walk), but a 5 minute drive. Here's a link: http://losangeles.citysearch.com/profile/11566467/
Let me know what you think.

Thanks for your hard work Keith! Due to the fact we are not arriving in LA till Saturday afternoon and have to will call our tickets, We will probably get watered in the west lobby at Royce hall or on the Ahmanson Terrace also on site. Maybe see you there.

Ah yes, I have to pick my ticket up as well.

Can you pick tickets up from will call before the day of the event? If I can, I may pick mine up on Wednesday when I arrive in LA, that way I can be at the above mentioned pub by 5ish

It's definite as far as I'm concerned. Simon and I will be there, as well as four other friends of mine. Hell, that's a party right there!

We'll be there around 5:00pm, possibly a bit earlier.

Thanks to all who came to the pre-show yesterday. A fun group of people, I must say. Very nice to have met you all, and hope to do it again sometime.
