Singles Parties, January 20-24, 2009

Two radically different venues for our singles parties this past week:

• Singles Night at the Marin Symphony, Tuesday, Jan 20. We had a lovely wine reception, with delicious appetizers, just for our singles, in the Green Room of the Marin Center, followed by The Marin Symphony, with a lovely cameo performance by the Smuin Ballet and a spectacular solo by the Naumberg Cello Winner. What a terriic evening!
• Dance Party at Legendary Trader Vic's, Saturday, Jan 24, in Palo Alto. This gorgeous ballroom, with high ceilings and elaborate chandeliers, was the perfect venue for our party, with a huge crowd!

FIVE more fun parties over the coming two and a half weeks:

• Marin Singles Convention, 2009's largest gathering of romantic eligibles in the area, on Friday, Jan 30, at Servino's Ristorante in Tiburon. Hopefully another clear night, so we can enjoy the incredible view of San Francisco and the Bay as we dance the night away.
• Art & Wine Tasting Party at Jack London Square, Saturday, Jan 31, at Swarm Art Gallery. We had a large crowd at last year's party at this fun art gallery, and hopefully another good turnout will take place in 2009.
• Valentine Lock & Key Dance, Friday, Feb 6, at the Clarion Hotel SFO in Millbrae. We had a huge crowd last time at this beautiful hotel ballroom.
• Free Single Travel Party, Sunday, Feb 8, at Faz Restaurant in Sunnyvale. Ann Thomas of The Singles Travel Company presents her annual slide show of exotic destinations worldwide. Our singles still want to travel, recession or no recession! Socializing follows.
• Valentine Mixer, Tuesday, Feb 10, 7-9pm, at the First Steet Cafe in Benicia. We have our own private upstairs banquet room, where we have had two successful parties in the past.

Singles Parties, January 13-18, 2009

3 very well-attended parties this past week:

• New Years Resolutions Mixer, Tuesday, Jan 13, at The Spinnaker in Sausalito. Always a big crowd at this terrific restaurant. We lucked out with the weather again: a clear beautiful view of the SF Skyline and Bay, and the Golden Gate Bridge!
• Dance by the Bay with Luau Buffet, Saturday, Jan 17, at the Golden Gate Yacht Club in San Francisco. Another perfect night, with clear views of the GG Bridge, Marin, and the Bay! Some complained that there were not enough tables and chairs. That's true, we just don't have the space for hundreds of singles to sit at this extremely popular location. Also a couple of people complained about the buffet. We'll try to do better next time. Lots of compliments for our DJ, Darryl K of Mobile Sound and Light.
• Wine Tasting in the Sonoma Wine Country, Sunday, Jan 18, at Mayo Family Winery in Glen Ellen. Everyone loved the balmy summer day (in the middle of winter) in Mayo's outdoor patio. Terrific wine! Alas, we didn't have a good ratio of men to women. I guess most of the guys were watching the championship football games on TV. At least women got to meet men who are NOT into football, something many appreciated!

Only two events for singles this coming week, but they both are terrific:

• Singles Night at the Marin Symphony, Tuesday, Jan 20, at the Marin Center in San Rafael. We only do this once a year, and it's always memorable. First, a private party, just for our singles, at 6pm, with complimentary wine and appetizers. Then a great performance of Romeo & Juliet by the Marin Symphony, with Smuin Ballet. Admission is FREE to the singles party at 6pm, if you buy a ticket for the symphony.
• Dance Party at Legendary Trader Vic's, Saturday, Jan 24, in Palo Alto. You'll love the gorgeous Polynesian Tiki decor of the beautiful ballroom. Plus delicious appetizers, served at 8pm, as long as they last.

Singles Parties, January 8-11, 2009

Great crowds at all 3 of our parties this past week!

• Single Cougars Mixer, Thursday, Jan 8, at Faz in Danville. Both The San Francisco Chronicle and The East Bay Express sent reporters and photographers to cover this very popular event! Look for the feature stories coming out soon in both newspapers. Next Cougar party will be at Trader Vics in Emeryville on Feb 12.
• Santa Cruz Singles Convention, Saturday, Jan 10, at the Hilton Hotel. We were shocked to have our largest crowd in several years for this annual event, despite the recession.
• Singles Wine Tasting Party, Sunday, Jan 11, at Adagio Wedding & Event Center in Gilroy. Rapazzini Winery's great wines were much appreciated!

3 more parties upcoming over the next week:

• New Years Resolutions Mixer, Tuesday, Jan 13, at The Spinnaker in Sausalito. 96% of all new years resolutions are broken by Jan 14! Meet new friends and learn about their resolutions at this fun party. It's been quite a while since we had a party at this lovely waterfront restaurant, so we expect a big turnout!
• Golden Gate Yacht Club Dance by the Bay with Luau Buffet, Saturday, Jan 17, in San Francisco. Always a huge crowd at this very popular venue. $25 for both dinner and dancing can't be beat!
• Wine Tasting Party in the Sonoma Wine Country, Sunday, Jan 18, at Mayo Family Winery in Glen Ellen. Hopefully we will have a sunny day, so we can fully appreciate the beauty of the Valley of the Moon!

Singles Parties, Dec 31, 2008 to Jan 3, 2009

Happy New Year! 2009 kicked off with our three New Years Eve bashes on Dec 31! Big crowds at our parties at the Cabana Resort Hotel in Palo Alto and the Embassy Suites Hotel in San Rafael. Smaller turnout at our NYE bash at Pasta Pelican in Alameda.

Our Dance on the Bay aboard The Sherman in Burlingame on Friday, Jan 2, was a delight. Everyone loved dancing on a boat (even though it never left the dock). Big crowd!

Our New Years Lock & Key Dance at Sinbad's in San Francisco was also very crowded.

3 more parties this coming week:

• Single Cougars Mixer for Younger Men/Older Women, Thursday, Jan 8, at Faz in Danville. Our previous two Cougar parties, in San Francisco and Palo Alto, were crowded. We expect nothing less for the first-ever Cougar party in the East Bay!
• Santa Cruz Singles Convention, Saturday, Jan 10. We're excited about our first-ever party at the lovely Hilton Hotel. We have wanted to party there in the past, but could not close the deal. Thanks to DJ HickeyB! of Choice Music, who helped us make this happen! He will spin his usual magic, I'm sure, at this, the largest annual gathering of romantic eligibles in Santa Cruz County. I will reveal my Top 10 List of the Best Ways to Hurry Love, with a money-back guarantee: you will find love in 2009 or get your money back (provided you follow half of my 10 tips).
• Wine Tasting in a Mansion, Sunday, Jan 11, at Adagio Wedding and Event Center in Gilroy. We will sample the great wines of Rapazzini Winery in a lovely 1927 Spanish Mansion!
