Singles Parties, June 23-28, 2009

Well, we survived the heat wave! Four parties this past week:

• Advanced Degrees Mixer, Tuesday, June 23, at Trader Vic's in Emeryville. Always cooler in Emeryville than most of the rest of the Bay Area. We were outside on Trader Vic's lovely deck on the water and in fact had to ask them to turn on the heating lamps for those who were skimpily dressed! Nice turnout.
• Summer Night Delight Dance, Friday, June 26, at the Crowne Plaza Cabana Resort Hotel in Palo Alto. Big crowd, and very enthusiastic! In honor of Michael Jackson's passing, DJ Slick played many of his greatest hits, which we all thoroughly enjoyed. Such a lovely venue, with a great view of the pool area. The outside deck was also quite popular.
• Saturday Night Fever Dance, Saturday, June 27, at Graziano's in Petaluma. DJ Darryl K played lots of songs and videos from the movie, plus he taught us all how to do the Saturday Night Fever Hustle. But Michael Jackson dominated this party as well. The big crowd just couldn't get enough of Michael's great songs and videos!
• Sunday Afternoon Delight, June 28, at Whipper Snapper in San Rafael. The heat finally caught up with us, with a vengeance. The hottest time of the day, 3pm, on the hottest day of the year, with no air conditioning! Small crowd, as you might expect. Great food from Whipper Snapper. We will do this fun venue again, hopefully next time without the sweltering heat!

Next week features three more singles events:

• The Art of Flirting Seminar, Tuesday, June 20, at Santa Rosa Jr College. Although this is at a college, it is for adult singles, not college-age. This is the seminar I have taught in major cities all over the United States, Australia, and New Zealand. Laugh while you learn how to flirt!
• Single Mingle, Thursday, July 2, at the Walnut Creek Marriott. The lovely atrium of this upscale hotel is perfect for our Mixer Game and appetizers.
• Independence Eve Dance, Friday, July 3, at Dominic's at Poplar Creek in San Mateo. We are excited about this new venue! Uncle Sam will host this party.

Singles Parties, June 18-20, 2009

I was on vacation in New Mexico for six days (beautiful state!), so I missed the first two of our parties this week:

• Young Single Professionals Mixer & Live Band Dance, Thursday, June 18, at #1 Broadway Night Club in Los Gatos. Barbara Millin of Singles Supper Club, who ran the party, reports a moderate turnout and a fun party.
• Elegant Lock & Key Dance, Friday, June 19, at the Claremont Resort Hotel in Berkeley. Patrick Dalal of LockandKeyMatch.com, reports a big crowd. I heard a complaint that the temperature was too hot. We mean something totally different when we say we have hot singles parties!

I returned home from New Mexico on Saturday afternoon, so I was able to run the Welcome Summer Art & Wine Tasting Party on June 20 at RR Gallery in San Francisco. Nice turnout, lots of new faces, great party!

Next week features 4 more parties:

• Advanced Degrees Mixer, Tuesday, June 23, at Trader Vic's in Emeryville. You can't miss at this gorgeous location! All of our past parties here have been very well-attended. If you like partying with well-educated singles in the world's most luxurious restaurant chain, this is the party for you.
• Summer Night Delight Dance, Friday, June 26, at Crowne Plaza Cabana Resort Hotel in Palo Alto. We are in the beautiful Cyprus Ballroom, the site of our large New Year's Eve Party. Co-sponsoring with Singles Supper Club.
• Saturday Night Fever Dance, Saturday, June 27, at Graziano's Ristorante in Petaluma. DJ Darryl K will teach us all how to do the Saturday Night Fever Hustle, followed by dancing to today's hottest hits and the greatest songs of the past.
• Sunday Afternoon Delight Mixer, Sunday, June 28, at Whipper Snapper Restaurant & Sangria Bar in Downtown San Rafael. This is a lovely, fun restaurant I discovered when the West End Neighborhood reopened (after extensive construction). We will enjoy the outdoor patio, weather permitting, as well as the fun interior, complimentary appetizers, and a Mixer Game with prizes.

Singles Parties, June 11-13, 2009

3 parties this past weekend:

The weekend started out early and poorly at our Single Parents Mixer, Thursday, June 11, at Park Chalet in San Francisco. Tiny turnout. I asked some of our regulars, who live within a mile of the party, why they didn't attend. They said they didn't want to meet single parents. Sad to hear that so many of our singles prefer not to meet someone with children!

Our annual Bay Area Flirting Convention, Friday, June 12, at the Concord Hilton, was a great success! Huge turnout, including KPIX CBS 5 TV. We were on the 11 o'clock news the night of the party, and are scheduled to be on TV again at length in a couple of weeks on KPIX's Eye on the Bay. We will let you know when you can watch the footage on our website, http://www.thepartyhotline.com/. Congratulations to Denise Stanley and Gordon Osmundson, who won the Bay Area Flirting Championship!

Our Elegant Evening in Tiburon, Saturday, June 13, at Servino's Ristorante, also attracted a big crowd! We appreciate so many of you who went to the extra trouble of dressing in your finest. You looked great. Excellent dance party, thanks to DJ Mike Keating of Grand Slam Mobile DJ.

Next weekend features 3 more parties:

• Young Single Professionals Mixer & Live Band Dance, Thursday, June 18, 7:30pm, at #1 Broadway Night Club in Los Gatos. Always a good turnout at this fun night club! You can't beat the price: only $10 includes our Mixer Game, with prizes; accompanied by appetizers, served at 7:30pm, as long as they last; plus dancing to the terrific music of The Second Story Band!
• Our first-ever Elegant Lock & Key Dance will be on Friday, June 19, at the elegant Claremont Resort Hotel in Berkeley.
• Art & Wine Tasting Party, Saturday, June 20, at one of our favorite venues, RR Gallery near Union Square in San Francisco.

Singles Parties, June 2-6, 2009

3 singles parties this past week:

• Sausalito Singles Mixer, Tuesday, June 2, at The Spinnaker. Our favorite restaurant is always the site for a great turnout and party! The weatherman had predicted rain that night, which would have ruined the spectacular view of San Francisco and the Bay. Once again we got lucky, and there was the beautiful panorama!
• The Recession Ball, Friday, June 5, at the San Mateo Marriott. Excellent crowd. Lots of compliments about the music played by DJ Scotty.
• Black Card Mixer, Saturday, June 6, at Faz at Sheraton Sunnyvale. Everyone wanted to know what the Black Card was all about. You can find out at www.SecondConnection.com. Hope you all used up the 10 free cards you got at the party and will make that second connection!

Next week features three more parties:

• Single Parents Mixer, Thursday, June 11, at Park Chalet in San Francisco. We've been neglecting you single parents for a couple of years, so here's a party just for you! If you are the parent of a living child, come to meet your fellow veterans of child-rearing.
• Bay Area Flirting Convention, Friday, June 12, at the Concord Hilton. I was interviewed by the Contra Costa Times, as were my keynote speaker, Susan Bradley and three of our singles. A huge article is scheduled to come out a few days before the party. Could be quite a turnout! We only do the flirting convention once a year, so this is your only chance in 2009 to win the flirting championship of the Bay Area, with prizes! Our first flirting convention was featured by Oprah for an hour. Channel 5's Eye on the Bay is planning to cover this one.
• An Elegant Night in Tiburon, Saturday, June 13, at Servino's. Always a huge crowd when we party at this lovely restaurant, with the great view of the SF Skyline and Bay.
