Singles Parties, February 8 - 23, 2013
Our Winter Ball at The Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco on Feb 23 attracted a big crowd, as always. DJ Mike Keating got rave reviews. He has a knack for pleasing the crowd, even though they all want to hear different music. We would have had at least 100 more singles if we weren't competing with the million extra people in San Francisco that night. Wish I had known a month earlier about the Chinese New Years Parade. Thanks to everyone who fought the traffic jams and sold-out parking to come to this fun party!
OTHER SINGLES PARTIES:
- Asian/Non-Asian Valentine Dance, Feb 8, at the Embassy Suites Burlingame. Unfortunately the hotel put us into their second largest ballroom, so it was quite a squeeze to fit in everyone. The room was too hot, but otherwise it was a fun party.
- Live Band Valentine Dance, Feb 9, at David's in Santa Clara. This party also attracted a big crowd. Thank you to Laura of Singles Supper Club, who hosted the party, as Debby and I were celebrating our mutual birthdays that night in Reno (yes, Debbie and I were both born on Feb 9!)
- Valentines Day Mixer, Feb 14, at Yoshi's in San Francisco. Despite the fact that this party was on a Thursday night, we still attracted over 100 people. Obviously singles think V-Day is a good day to celebrate!
- Blue Jean Ball, Feb 16, at Spengers in Berkeley. This is our first party in several years at this landmark Seafood Restaurant. People loved the huge wooden dance floor, which was full most of the night! Definitely we will do more parties here in the future.
- Generation X Party, Saturday, March 2, at Piacere Ristorante in San Carlos. The vast majority of our parties are for adults of all ages. We get a good mix of younger and older singles. But this party is limited to Gen-Xers, who were born between 1961-1981. Thank you to Laura of Singles Supper Club, who discovered this lovely upscale restaurant and negotiated the deal so we could do this party, including hiring DJ Hickey B! to provide both great dance music and some fun karaoke.
- Man Swap, Saturday, March 9, at the Pleasanton Marriott. This is based on a lovely French custom, where once a year the single women each bring the finest bachelor they know, with whom they are NOT romantically involved. Dance to your favoite hits with DJ Slick.
- St Patricks Eve Dance, Saturday, March 16, at Embassy Suites San Rafael. Everyone's Irish on St Paddy's Day!
