Parties, November 3-5

What a great weekend! We were 3 for 3 this time with our parties. On Friday, Nov 3, we had a terrific turnout for our Lock & Key & Dance at the San Mateo Marriott. Lovely hotel ballroom, and great DJ (HickeyB! of Choice Music, who is also our DJ next Friday, Nov 10, at the Santa Cruz Singles Convention).

On Saturday we hosted our first Art & Wine Tasting Party at Togonon Art Gallery at Union Square. Great space for a singles party! We are also doing our annual Holiday Art & Wine Tasting Party there on Dec 23.

We concluded the weekend with the first-ever Singles Night at the Marin Symphony. We didn't know what to expect, since it had never been done before. Terrific turnout! Great performance by the symphony,of course, with terrific hors d'oeuvres, wine, and scotch at our exclusive Singles Pre-Party. We will definitely do this one again next year!

Next weekend we are hosting five singles parties. We kickoff early on Thursday, Nov 9, with our Pacific Coast Singles Mixer at Park Chalet Garden Restaurant in SF. We expect a big crowd, since Friday is a federal holiday (Veterans Day). The party is from 7-9pm, so you'll still get home early enough to go to work the next day, if you don't have it off. Only $10 at the door includes not only the great food at this excellent restaurant, but also our fun Mixer, which makes it easy to meet everyone at the party!

On Friday night we have two parties. Our annual Singles Convention is at the Seacliff Inn in Aptos, which is the largest party of the year in the Santa Cruz/Monterey Bay Area! Jerusha Stewart, author of Single Girl's Manifesta, kicks off the convention, followed by a Dance Party. We hope to attract as large of a crowd as we did at last year's excellent convention, in the same Ballroom, with a great spread of food again!

Also on Friday, Julia Ma of Your Asian Connection is hosting the largest Asian/Non-Asian singles event of the year at the wonderful Illusions Night Club in Palo Alto, where we did our Cinco de Mayo party earlier this year.

On Saturday we return to Lucre Lounge at the Shattuck Hotel in Berkeley with another fun Lock & Key Mixer, followed by a Dance Party with one of our top DJs.

We conclude the weekend fun with our first-ever Wine Tasting Party at one of my favorite wineries, Cline Cellars in Sonoma. What a lovely site for a party, with thousands of rose bushes, 6 ponds, gorgeous trees, and fabulous wines. Only $10 at the door includes our exclusive singles wine tasting in the Barrel Room, plus light hors d'oeuvres the first hour.

Hope to see you at the parties!
