Singles Parties, December 23-27, 2008

3 fun parties this past week, all well-attended.

• Christmas Mixer, Tuesday, Dec 23, at The Orinda House. Armen Boyd, founding member of Big Band Beat, delighted us with his tenor sax!
• Pre-New Years Lock & Key Dance, Friday, Dec 26, at the Concord Hilton. Some people were skeptical about singles coming out the night after Christmas for a party. Too bad, because we had a great crowd! DJ Slick Vic did his usual great job of spinning our favorite hits.
• Pre-New Years Dinner/Dance, Saturday, Dec 27, at Illusions in Palo Alto. What a terrific party! The huge dance floor was packed all night and I hear that dinner was delicious (I ate fast food in the car driving down from San Rafael and didn't have time to enjoy the Progressive Dinner at this wonderful restaurant/night club).

New Years Eve is the biggest party night of the year, so we have three singles dances, North Bay, East Bay, and SF Peninsula. Hopefully one of these is close to you. Parties include dancing to your favorite hits, plus party hats and favors, 9pm-1am.

• Pasta Pelican, 2455 Mariner Square Drive, Alameda. $20/door.
• Embassy Suites Hotel, Grille 101 Lounge, 101 McInnis Pkwy, San Rafael. $20/door.
• Cabana Resort Hotel Crowne Plaza, 4290 El Camino Real, Palo Alto. $39/door.

Next weekend we have two fun parties:

• Dance on the Bay, Friday, Jan 2, 8pm-12, aboard the SF Peninsula's only on-water restaurant, The Sherman, 410 Airport Blvd, Burlingame.
• New Years Lock & Key Dance, Saturday, Jan 3, 8pm-12, Sinbad's, Pier 2 along the Embarcadero, San Francisco.

Singles Parties, December 9 - 20, 2008

Five Holiday Parties over the past two weeks, with one more to go.

• Sausalito Waterfront Mixer, Tuesday, Dec 9, at Gaylord's. Big crowd,as always with our annual Sausalito holiday party.
• Solano Holiday Dance, Friday, Dec 12, at Courtyard by Marriott in Vallejo. Much smaller crowd than our party here a few months ago. I don't know why... Hard to understand sometimes why some parties do better than others.
• Pleasanton Hotel Party, Monday, Dec 15. It rained tonight, so we had our smallest ever crowd at this fun venue. Good party, anyway.
• Christmas Dance, Friday, Dec 19, San Mateo Marriott. Big crowd. Nothing but compliments about DJ Slick, who spun his magic for the first time in San Mateo for us.
• Christmas Art & Wine Tasting Party, Saturday, Dec 20, R R Art Gallery in San Francisco. Huge crowd; lots of new faces. So many, we had to turn away a few at the door. Sorry. Sometimes it pays to pre-register, so you get in if there is a sell-out.

Our last Christmas party this year will be on Tuesday, Dec 23, at The Orinda House. As a special treat, Armen Boyd, founding member of Big Band Beat, will entertain us on the tenor saxophone!

We have two Pre-New Years Eve parties again this year. Lots of people prefer to celebrate the new year a few days early and avoid those hefty new years eve prices. Our Pre-New Years parties include dancing to your favorite hits, plus party hats and favors. Both are very affordable.

• Pre-New Years Eve Lock & Key Dance, Friday, Dec 26, at the Concord Hilton. Our singles always turn out in large numbers the day after Christmas!
• Pre-New Years Eve Dinner/Dance, Saturday, Dec 27, at Illusions in Palo Alto. It's been a long time since we had a party at this spectacular night club, and we expect an excellent turnout.

Singles Parties, December 1-6, 2008

3 singles parties this past week:

• North Bay Holiday Party, Monday, Dec 1, at the Flamingo Hotel in Santa Rosa. Poor turnout, unfortunately, but we had fun with the dancing and karaoke.
• Young Single Professionals Party, Friday, Dec 5, at Zen Ultra Lounge in Mtn View. This party was originally scheduled for Arthur's in Santa Clara, but the restaurant has closed and will re-open as India Gate. So we had to scramble at the last minute for a substitute venue. Fortunately Zen Ultra Lounge was available. We had a slightly smaller turnout than usual, but not bad, considering the late notice of the change in venue.
• Marin Holiday Dance, Saturday, Dec 6, at Grille 101 Lounge at Embassy Suites Hotel in San Rafael. Huge crowd! This location does so well, we are doing one of our three New Years Eve Parties here.

Next week features only two singles parties:

• Waterfront Holiday Mixer, Tuesday, Dec 9, at Gaylord's in Sausalito. Last year's holiday mixer at this wonderful restaurant attracted 125 singles. Hopefully we will get another big crowd this year!
• Holiday Dance, Friday, Dec 12, at Courtyard by Marriott in Vallejo. Our last dance at this hotel (June 7) was packed! This time we have three co-sponsors: Singles of Solano (SOS), Napa Singles, and Chance2Romance.
