<p>i heard that there's an ice skating rink somewhere in santa monica opened for the holidays. when is it going to close? does anyone know? do they have a website?</p>
<p>otherwise, the nearest rink is...culver city?!</p>
<p>Also, ask your RA about it. I don't know how common it is but two floors from my building last year arranged a ice-skating program sometime during that winter quarter.</p>
<p>my building had one last quarter but we went to culver, not a big fan of people there lol little kids yell "Go trojans, Go SC and UCLA suck" at us at times :)</p>
<p>regarding the open skating mentioned in santa monica and in culver city, when did u guys go? was in crowded? could someone do tricks w/o trampling/hurting others?</p>
<p>Culver City has a decent amount of people at night, even on a school day. I think I went Thursday night, and there as many people there as you would expect at a bowling alley on the same night.</p>
<p>yay! maybe i'll check the santa monica rink this wkend if i have time. is there an indoor facility for skate rental? i really want to bring my friends but they make excuses such as:
1. i have no skates
2. i can't ice skate</p>
<p>gaah!</p>
<p>or i can go alone but that is the last resort. i like exploring!</p>
<p>i would love to go as long as it fulfills one of the following requirements:</p>
<ol>
<li>networking opportunity with prestigious businessmen</li>
<li>earn some money at least $20 an hour</li>
<li>if the girl that i like goes (highly doubtful)</li>
<li>free food of reasonably decent quality (no fast food) </li>
<li>free stuff worth at least $20 an hour</li>
<li>free ice skates</li>
</ol>
<p>whoever wants to go w/ me, i'll show you tricks FOR FREE. tell me a move and i'll do it. i can still do axels although i haven't competed in skating for about 2 yrs! i really wanna go this coming sunday, the last day b4 school resumes.</p>
