Me for the win! I started calling at 3 on Sunday (when I'd been told they'd start taking the reservations) and got through around 3:35. Also, groups of three are apparently unusual for valentines day, so we had more options then most... :)
As for silly holiday: To each their own. For me, more like an excuse to dress us and go play in a city decorated in lovely shades of red and pink with people that are also dressed up cute and wanting to play.
