Singles Parties, November 25-29, 2008

3 parties this past Thanksgiving Week:

• Marin Mixer, Tuesday, November 25, at Indian Valley Golf Course in Novato. A little bit out of the way, but a lot of singles attended anyway.
• Wine Tasting Party, Friday, November 28, at Hyatt Summerfield Suites in Pleasant Hill. Small turnout. We thought our singles would be excited about our first-ever Wine Tasting Party in a hotel. Wrong. We will go back to our proven formula of large Wine Tasting parties in art galleries and wineries. Our biggest of the year will be our annual Christmas Art & Wine Tasting Party, Saturday, Dec 20, at RR Gallery in San Francisco.
• Lock & Key Dance, Saturday, Nov 29, at the Clarion Hotel in Millbrae. Huge crowd!

No one enjoys being alone for the holidays. That's why we have scheduled a dozen holiday parties for singles. Next week features three of these:

• North Bay Mixer/Dance/Karaoke, Monday, Dec 1, at the Flamingo Resort Hotel in Santa Rosa. Such a deal! Only $10 at the door includes our fun Christmas Mixer Game, with prizes; dancing; karaoke; and appetizers, served at 7pm, as long as they last.
• Young Single Professionals Party, Friday, Dec 5. Originally scheduled for Arthur's Restaurant in Santa Clara, which is closing. We are looking for a new location and will have that up on our website soon, hopefully.
• Marin Singles Holiday Dance, Saturday, Dec 6, at Embassy Suites Hotel in San Rafael. This is also the Grand Opening for Singles at the new Grille 101 Lounge (formerly Rings). Always a big crowd at our special parties at this fun night club.

Singles Parties, November 18-22, 2008

4 singles parties this past week, all well-attended, despite the recession!

• Single Mingle, Tuesday, Nov 18, at Carlos Club in San Carlos. This is an historic building that has been beautifully renovated. Fun mixer and dance.
• Wine Tasting Party & Live Band Dance, Thursday, Nov 20, at Number One Broadway in Los Gatos. We were shocked to have such a big crowd. Bonedrivers played some great music!
• Baby Boomers Bash, Friday, Nov 21, at Tarragon in Sunnyvale. Large number of singles enjoyed the Progressive Dinner at 7pm, followed by a very large crowd for the dance party. Top DJ Miguel of Startracks celebrated his birthday with us by playing great music!
• Napa Valley Singles Convention, Saturday, Nov 22, at Embassy Suites Hotel. Christine Hannah's Napa Singles co-sponsored with us. We were delighted to meet her singles!

3 parties during Thanksgiving Week:

• Marin Singles Mixer, Tuesday, Nov 25, at the 19th Hole Lounge at Indian Valley Golf Club in Novato. This is our first-ever party at this large venue.
• Wine Tasting Party, Friday, Nov 27, at Hyatt Summerfield Suites in Pleasant Hill. Our first-ever Wine Tasting Party at a hotel should attract a huge crowd! Our past wine tasting parties have been at art galleries, wineries, and night clubs.
• Lock & Key Dance, Saturday, Nov 29, at the Clarion Hotel in Millbrae. The elegant ballroom, with high ceilings and spectacular chandeliers, should once again attract a big turnout.

Singles Parties, November 7-8, 2008

Only two parties this past weekend:

• Single Cowboys Dance, Friday, Nov 7, at The Rodeo Club in San Jose. This was the first Country/Western Dance we have done in several years. We picked the right venue! The Dancing Cowboy gave a couple of excellent dance lessons, followed by two live bands. This is a huge nightclub and a great place to party and meet new friends.
• Blast From the Past, Saturday, Nov 8, at The Pleasanton Marriott. Quite a contrast to last night's party! This one featured the greatest hits of the 60s and 70s, spun by DJ Slick, who did a great job. Every song was a million-seller. The dance floor was packed all night. We definitely will repeat this theme again.

Next week features two more parties:

• MidLife Singles Mixer, Tuesday, Nov 11, at the Walnut Creek Marriott. Annie Gleason of Get a Love Life will give a brief entertaining talk on "Decoding Dating Signals." Annie is the Dating Expert for The San Francisco Examiner. We also have appetizers at this fun party.
• Sadie Hawkins Day Dance, Saturday, Nov 15, at Sinbad's in San Francisco. Sadie Hawkins Day only comes once a yea. Here's your chance to attend a party where the women can feel comfortable asking a man to dance, because the men are NOT allowed to say no.

On a personal note, I will be the guest expert on Aging Outside the Box, an Internet Radio Show with author Shirley W. Mitchell, on Wednesday, Nov 12, 4pm PT.

See you at the parties!

Singles Parties, October 31 - November 2, 2008

Well, we survived the big storm! Luckily the wet weather didn't hurt us too much, as we had good crowds at both of our parties this past weekend.

• Halloween Party, Friday, Oct 31, at Nicolino's in Sunnyvale. What a gorgeous banquet room! And terrific costumes. High energy dance, as are all of our Halloween parties.
• Fall Night Delight, Saturday, Nov 1, at Rings at Embassy Suites Hotel in San Rafael. As always, a terrific turnout at this fun location.

I taught a seminar on "The Art of Flirting" at Santa Rosa Jr College on Sunday, Nov 2. Small turnout, but we had a lot of fun.

Next weekend features two more parties:

• Single Cowboys Dance, Friday, Nov 7, at The Rodeo Club in San Jose. This a HUGE venue, with Live Band and a free Country/Western Dance Lesson!
• Blast From the Past, Saturday, Nov 8, at the Pleasanton Marriott. Hopefully another big crowd (as we have had at all of our past parties in this lovely hotel) will dance to the great songs from the 1960s and 1970s. They don't get played much any more, and that's a shame!
