Singles Parties, June 15 - July 1, 2010

Our Hot Summer Night Mixer, Tuesday, June 15, was at a new location for us, Izzy's in San Ramon. Lovely location, good appetizers, excellent live music, and a fairly good turnout. We would love to do this upscale restaurant again.

We also did a Waterfront Dance on Friday, June 18, at another new location for us, Fandorin Restaurant in Burlingame. Gigantic floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the Bay made this an excellent venue for our party. Large dance floor, ample room to mingle, wonderful ambiance made this a popular party, with many compliments all night.

Jim Spillane hosted three parties while Debby and I were in Chicagoland hosting the National Cougar Convention (details below).

• Summer Mixer, Tuesday, June 22, at First Street Cafe in Benicia. This party was extremely crowded. We like it that way, as it's easier to meet people if you literally are forced to bump into them. First Street Cafe is a very popular restaurant and all of our parties there have been well-attended, so we plan to return next year.
  
• Match Your Key Dance, Friday, June 25, at Four Points by Sheraton Hotel in San Rafael. Smaller crowd than expected.
• Art & Wine Tasting Party, Saturday, June 26, at Art People at the Crocker Galleria in San Francisco. Another fine party at this beautiful art gallery.

Our National Cougar Convention, Saturday, June 26, at Embassy Suites O'Hare Airport, attracted a huge crowd, as well as NBC's Today Show and MTV, plus lots of photographers and reporters. Congratulations to Amy Roberts of Aurora IL for winning the crown of Miss Cougar America 2010. Amy won a free week at Hedonism II Resort & Spa in Jamaica; as well as a free berth on The International Cougar Cruise, December 3-6, 2010. Almost 100 cougars and cubs already signed up for this cruise, so don't hesitate to sign up before the inexpensive cabins sell out (only $99 for the cruise, per person, can you believe it!) Details at www.singlestravelcompany.com. Call 1-888-286-8687 before the prices go up.

We also had a local Cougar Dance on Thursday, July 1st, at Bliss Bar in San Francisco. Big turnout, including a TV crew filming a pilot for a possible cougar reality show. Good luck to our good friends, Jaime and Lee, who would star in this series, if it gets picked up by a national TV network. They met at one of our cougar parties.

Our Crystal Ballroom Match Your Key Dance happens on Saturday, July 3, at the lovely boutique Hotel Shattuck Plaza in Berkeley. We have a lovely downstairs ballroom with lots of space for a large crowd and plenty of dancing!
