Singles Parties, August 24 - 28, 2010

4 parties this past week:
  • East Bay Single Mingle, Tuesday, August 24, at Alborz Restaurant in Walnut Creek. It was the hottest day of the year, so we were not able to enjoy the outdoor seating at this wonderful Persian restaurant. So we were indoors and had a fun party. Alborz shared their delicious appetizers with us.
  • Young Single Professionals Dinner & Mixer, Tuesday, August 24, at California Cafe in Los Gatos. Laura Lane of Singles Supper Club reported that it was also very hot in Los Gatos, but a good turnout regardless.
  • Wine Tasting Dance, Saturday, August 28, at Redux in Walnut Creek. We have been many parties over the years at this nightclub, which has changed names many times (Abernathy's, Echo, Groove, Spin). Congrats to the new owners, who remodeled the place. It is vastly improved! Fun group came to the wine tasting, then stayed for dancing to the greatest hits of all time.
  • Summer in the City Dance, Saturday, August 28, at 111 Minna Gallery in San Francisco. Laura Lane of Singles Supper Club reports that we had our own party room for the first couple of hours, then had the sound wall removed so our party could merge with the other half of this large nightclub.
Next week features 4 more parties:
  • Marin Single Mingle, Tuesday, Aug 31, at Frantoio Ristorante at Larkspur Hotel in Mill Valley. This is our third party at this upscale restaurant. The past two parties attracted a good turnout and we are hopeful we will do well again.
  • Singles Mixer & Live Band Dance Celebrating the 19th Anniversary of Its Just Lunch, Thursday, Sep 2, at Number One Broadway Nightclub in Los Gatos. Its Just Lunch is the world's largest matchmaking service. Instead of searching through thousands of online profiles yourself, IJL's personal matchmakers will help you meet your match! IJL will give out a $1,000 free membership to one lucky person at this party! Bonedrivers is the Live Band. We will also have a Mixer Game and prizes, plus appetizers. All for just $10!
  • Miss Cougar East Bay Contest & Dance, Friday, Sep 3, at W Hotel in Newark. Ladies are eligible to win the Title of Miss Cougar East Bay. She will win a free berth on the International Cougar Cruise in December, courtesy of Singles Travel Company. Miguel of Startracks will play your favorite hits. Some of the cougars and cubs in attendance will reveal what they like about younger men/older women. I will discuss the advantage of cougar/cub dating, based on my book The Cougar Imperative: Why MidLife Women MUST Choose Younger Men. Quite an evening!
  • Labor Day Weekend Art & Wine Tasting Party, Saturday, Sep 4, at Art People Gallery at The Crocker Galleria in San Francisco. Most singles do NOT go away over the Labor Day Weekend, and are looking for fun. That's why we expect a good crowd for this one!

Singles Parties, July 27 - 31, 2010

Only 2 parties this past week, one small, one large.
  • Art & Wine Mixer, Tuesday, July 27, at Art People Gallery at The Crocker Galleria in San Francisco. Lots of new faces, but smaller crowd than normal at this beautiful art gallery.
  • Contra Costa Singles Convention, Saturday, July 31, at the Renaissance ClubSport Hotel in Walnut Creek. This event lived up to its hype, as a huge crowd assembled to enjoy the hilarious Hynotic Seduction Show by acclaimed master hypnotist John Farley. Dancing followed.
This coming week features 3 more parties:
  • Astrological Matchmaking Party, Thursday, Aug 5, at Bay Cafe at Palo Alto Municipal Golf Course. Our annual party features Psychic Kathleen, who will only be able to do mini-readings for the earlybirds.

  • North Bay Singles Convention, Friday, Aug 6, at the Flamingo Resort Hotel in Santa Rosa. This is the largest annual gathering of singles in the North Bay. This year's convention features motivational speaker Chris Kelly, who will discuss "She's/He's Just Not That Into You," followed by dance party.
