Instead of sitting at home on an empty couch watching The Cape on Valentine’s Day, scooch over to a stranger on the Third Street Promenade. It’s The World’s Longest Sofa Speed Date, a combination of all the triviality of world record-setting and the economy of speed dating. You’ll join 149 other lonelyhearts on a ludicrously lengthy leather sofa for a three minute shot at love (no spooning). The 213-foot, red leather monstrosity of spinal comfort and awkward silences will be planted on the Third Street Promenade, where — finally — you’ll be the entertainment, as you move between 10-15 potential partners.
But it’s not just a comfy seat on the Promenade. Your ticket also gets you drinks, food, and post-event skating at Ice at Santa Monica.
Monday, February 14
6-10p
Third Street Promenade, Santa Monica
