Attention baseball fans

Today in non-planning-related topics: I have one extra Dodger playoff ticket for Wednesday's NL Division Series Game 1 vs. St. Louis, and I'd like to give one lucky UCLA UPer an opportunity to join me. Game time is 6:30 pm, but be warned that I always get to the ballpark early. I'm asking $35 for the ticket, or best offer. These are pretty good seats in the Reserved Level behind home plate.

I can even try to make this somewhat relevant for a planner. There's the whole tragic story of the displacement of hundreds of families from Chavez Ravine in the 1950s to talk about, as well as the major public investments happening nearby (LA River, Cornfield State Park, Gold Line), and the general diversity and dynamism (and associated controversies) of the surrounding area.

But the focus of the night will be baseball. Just you, me and 56,000 Dodger faithful. So if you're interested, and don't have a class Wednesday afternoon/evening (sorry, water policy folks!), let me know at nhuffman28@gmail.com. Preferably sooner rather than later.
