Singles Parties, August 16-17, 2007

Only two parties this past week, beginning with a Wine Tasting Party at Fahrenheit Ultra Lounge in Downtown San Jose on Thursday night, August 16. Fun party and venue, but a bear to get to--it took me 20 minutes to drive the last mile to Fahrenheit, due to the free Concert in the Park nearby. Lots of new faces at the party, and our singles really enjoyed the great wines and appetizers.

Our first-ever Battle of the Sexes Party, on Friday at The San Mateo Marriott, attracted a big crowd! For the first time in 29 years and over 2,000 singles parties, we segregated the sexes into separate ballrooms, with Carlos Xuma revealing how to pick up men; and Lance Mason instructing the men on how to pick up women. Then we opened up the sound wall that separated the two ballrooms for a great dance party and Pick Up Artist Championship. Congratulations to Calvin Baker of Santa Rosa, who won the title of Mr. Bay Area Pick Up Artist; and to Lisa Spector of Half Moon Bay, who won the title of Ms. Bay Area Pick Up Artist!

This coming week we have three parties scheduled, all in new locations for us:

• Singles Mixer, Tuesday, Aug 21, 7-9pm, at Pazzo Restaurant in Petaluma.
• Singles Mixer, Thursday, Aug 23, 7-9pm, at J T Labeaus Restaurant in Martinez
• Lock & Key & Dance Party, Friday, Aug 24, 8pm-12, at Summitpointe Golf Club in Milpitas

The Singles Mixers during the week are intimate parties (50-100 singles) that make it EASY to meet new friends, especially since we have a fun Mixer Game breaking down the barriers. They only cost $10, and include appetizers the first hour.

Our weekend parties, such as Friday's party at the fancy country club in Milpitas, attract a much larger crowd. It's harder to meet people at these bigger parties, because a lot of people feel intimidated in a room full of strangers. That's why we have a Lock & Key Mixer preceding the Dance Party (women get locks; men get keys). The nice thing about the Lock & Key is that everyone, even the shyest person in the room, gets to meet every member of the opposite sex, since everyone wants to match their lock or key to yours and possibly win a prize!
