Watch party at ESPN Zone

For those looking for a communal place to watch Game 1 on Sunday, the Kings are hosting a watch party at ESPN Zone at L.A. Live, across the street from Staples Center, with the game on the huge screen. There are food/drink specials and a raffle, etc. More information is available by clicking here. Also, for those wishing to stay closer to the coast, I know that people have been getting together at Toyota Sports Center in El Segundo to watch the games on the TVs there.

Also, I know there are a few people planning to head to Phoenix for Game 1. If anyone needs to coordinate travel plans or meetup plans — trade email addresses, etc. — feel free to do so here. If folks are meeting up sometime before the game, hopefully I can come by and say hello. [UPDATE: I’m hearing a lot of talk about an unofficial meet-up at Margaritaville, next to the arena.]
