Singles Parties, April 7 - May 12, 2012

April started out with a bang with a huge crowd at The Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco, Saturday, April 7. Our singles love this venerable hotel atop Nob Hill!

OTHER PARTIES:

• Miss Cougar America Contest & Dance, Lucky Friday the 13th of April, at The Hard Rock Cafe in San Francisco. Nice turnout and high-spirited dance. Jaravee Vu, who immigrated to the US 20 years ago from Thailand, was crowned Miss Cougar America 2012. She won a free Western Caribbean Cougar Cruise in December. Details about the cruise on www.SinglesTravelCompany.com.  More information about cougars at www.cougarevents.com.
• Silicon Valley Singles Convention, Saturday, April 14, at the Clarion Hotel Downtown San Jose. Suprisingly small turnout. Don't know why...
• Contra Costa Singles Convention, Friday, April 20, at the Walnut Creek Marriott. Big crowd in the huge ballroom!
• Speed Dancing Party, Friday, April 27, at the Hyatt Regency Burlingame. Nice turnout. Everyone loved the speed dancing, where you dance with a new person every 3 minutes! Due to popular request, we will do this theme again in a few months.
• Silicon Valley Meets Silicon Beach, Sunday afternoon, April 29, at Severino's Lounge in Aptos. Small turnout. I guess everyone went to the beach instead!
• Networking Mixer for Single Professionals, Friday, May 4, at Risque Lounge in San Francisco. Lots of new faces at this plush venue near Union Square.
• Cinco de Mayo Dance, Saturday, May 5, at the Embassy Suites Hotel in San Rafael. Nice turnout, high-energy dance. Larry Brooks of Vima Dance in San Francisco taught a popular salsa lesson to kick off the dancing!
• Name Your Price Mixer, Tuesday, May 8, at the Sheraton Petaluma. Small turnout.
• Blue Jean Ball, Friday, May 11, at the Los Gatos Lodge. Laura of Singles Supper Club, who ran this party, reports a big crowd!
• Wine Tasting at the Pleasanton Marriott, Saturday, May 12. Good turnout, but bad ratio. Guess many of our bachelors stayed home that night to watch the seventh and deciding game of the Lakers-Nuggets series, as well as both Giants and A's baseball games. Tough competition.

If you attended any of these parties, feel free to comment about your experiences, both positive and negative!

UPCOMING PARTIES

• Match Your Key Dance, Friday, May 18. This is the first-ever match your key in Solano County, at the Marriott in Vallejo. We're trying to make up for the fact that we have been neglecting the friendly singles of Solano County!
• Singles Day at the Mountain Play, Saturday, May 19, at the Mt Tam Ampitheatre in Mill Valley. If you have never attended this yearly outdoor performance, you haven't lived! Spectacular views of the city, and the opportunity to experience the wonderful Music Man musical alfresco. Be sure to sit in our special Singles Section. This is a benefit performance for The Marin Symphony.

• North Bay Singles Convention, Saturday, June 2, at the Flamingo Resort Hotel in Santa Rosa. Yours truly will deliver the Keynote Address: How to Be Irresistible to the Opposite Sex.
