I assumed as much. I was just waiting to hear back from them before I added it.

Or, if you’re looking for a different vibe, there’s the 2nd Annual Valentine’s Day Show with Was (Not Was), Brian Wilson & Kris Kristofferson. more info

And don’t forget the Art Walk - and the Comedy Walk, with the Comedy Walk going on until from 8:30 PM to 10 PM.

I have a better idea. Celebrate Valentines Day early by visiting:
Burger King at 700 W. Cesar Chavez Ave. today. Larry and Ralph Cimmarusti (owners) will donate 100 percent of the proceeds to SWAT Officer Randal D. Simmons’s family: http://www.lapdonline.org/home/content_basic_view/37491
