Parties, Feb 23-25, 2007

Our first-ever Pre-Oscars Ball was a lot of fun, with a big crowd, Friday night, Feb 23. The San Mateo Marriott rolled out a 50 foot red carpet for us, and many who attended were all decked out! Alas, the carpet started bunching up and people were tripping, so we had to remove it. Bummer! Everyone enjoyed predicting who would win the Oscars on Sunday. Here are the winners: Susan Aptekar (6 correct picks) and four others with 5 correct picks: Dale Ironson, Jane McAteer, Linda Preston, and Jack Lin. All won free copies of my book, You CAN Hurry Love. Congrats!

The rain intruded on our Lock & Key & Dance Saturday night at the Parc 55 Hotel in SF. We got a good turnout anyway.

We lucked out on Sunday afternoon, as we enjoyed the short window of rain-free weather, at our Wine Tasting Party in Livermore. What a crowd! Didn't know you could fit so many people in the Barrel Room of Crooked Vine Winery. Our next Wine Tasting Party is on Thursday, March 8, in Los Gatos, including live dance music by one of our favorite bands, The Joint Chiefs.

Coming up we have an Asian/Non-Asian Singles Mixer, with live music by The Shitones, at Park Chalet Restaurant in SF on Thursday, Feb 1st; our first-ever Men in Black Party Saturday, March 3 at Tarragon Restaurant in Sunnyvale; and our first-ever party in East Contra Costa County at Humphreys on the Delta on Tuesday, March 6.

See you at the parties!
