Singles Parties, July 16-18, 2009

3 parties this past weekend:

• Santa Cruz Cougar Mixer, Thursday, July 16, at The Hilton. Big crowd, but mainly men. This would have been the night to meet young, good looking guys. Too bad more women did not avail themselves of this opportunity! Fun party. Next cougar party will be THE BIG ONE: National Single Cougars Convention, Friday, Aug 28, at Dinah's Garden Hotel in Palo Alto.
• Dance Among the Redwoods, Friday, July 17, at Deer Park Villa in Fairfax. This is a Marin County institution, and we were delighted to do our first-ever party there. What a lovely setting, with lavish gardens, redwoods, and fountain. It was a warm night, so our singles enjoyed the ambience of an indoor-outdoor party. Big crowd.
• Wine Tasting/Dance Party, Saturday, July 18, at Alberto's in Mountain View. Our singles thoroughly enjoyed the combination of fun people, great wines, and the Michael Jackson video from his spectacular concert in Bucharest, Romania. None of us had ever seen this video of his live concert, and it was a blast! Afterwards the DJ played great mixes of our favorite hits, followed by the Live Music of Ruido Azul. Too loud for me, but many of our singles stayed for the dancing and helped pack the dance floor.

Next week features 3 more singles parties:

• SF Peninsula Single Mingle, Monday, July 20, at Straits Restaurant in Burlingame. This is a new, upscale location for us.
• MidLife Mixer, Tuesday, July 21, at Ristorante La Toscana in San Rafael. Our last party at this restaurant was packed; hopefully will be so again. Mason Grigsby, co-author of Love at Second Sight: Playing the MidLife Dating Game; and Annie Gleason, dating expert for the SF Examiner and owner of Get a Love Life, will give brief entertaining presentations. Includes fun Mixer Game, prizes, and appetizers!
• Tri-Valley Lock & Key Dance, Friday, July 24. We return to one of our most popular hotels, the Pleasanton Marriott. Always a big crowd.
