Singles Parties, December 17-19, 2010

Despite the big storm, we had 3 fun parties, with good attendance:

• Christmas Dance, Friday, Dec 17, at Hotel Shattuck Plaza in Berkeley. DJ Darryl K brought his popular videos of the songs we all love. Fun dance party in the elegance of The Crystal Ballroom.
• Christmas Art & Wine Party, Saturday, Dec 18, at The Artists Alley in San Francisco. The four wines I tasted were all top-notch. Lots of new, attractive faces at this party.
• Sausalito Waterfront Mixer, Sunday, Dec 19, at Wellington's Wine Bar. We didn't have the gorgeous weather we had at last year's party, so the view was not stupendous. But it was a fun crowd that mingled well with each other.

Next week we have a monopoly. The only singles party in the Bay Area I've come across is our Eve of Christmas Eve Match Your Key Dance at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Concord. It's been a while since we've done a party at this hotel, because they were converting our usual party room into the Contra Costa Ballroom. We can't wait to see what it looks like! Since the next day is a holiday for most people (since Christmas falls on a Saturday, Friday is the legal holiday), so expect a big crowd on the Thursday before Christmas.

We celebrate 2011 with three parties the following weekend:

• Pre-New Years Eve Dance, Thursday, December 30, at Neptune's Restaurant at Pier 39 in San Francisco. This is a new location for us, with a terrific view of the Golden Gate Bridge, Marin, and the Bay. As with last Thursday, Friday is a holiday, since New Years Day falls on a Saturday, so should attract a good crowd.
• New Years Eve Bash - Silicon Valley, Friday, December 31, at the Sheraton Palo Alto. Last year's bash at this hotel attracted 400. We're hoping for another huge crowd!
• New Years Eve Bash - North Bay, Friday, December 31, at the Embassy Suites San Rafael. Last year's bash at this hotel went great and we expect nothing less this year.
