I'm single, but not really looking right now. I would be interested in going to a singles event, though, just to hang out and meet new folks in the neighborhood.
Since many of these start off with a lot of promise and enthusiasm and then fizzle and disappear, I was going to recommend holding this event during the week of April 20th. While I'm not a fan of early weeknight events, it's really up to the majority.
Regarding the location, I was going to recommend Indigo on 30th Avenue, close to the train station. There was an Astorian mixer held there last month
http://www.astorians.com/community/index.php?topic=9624.0I thought that this would be a good location because it's right off of the N/W and from what I understand has an upstairs bar that we might be able to reserve. If anyone else has recommendations, please share.
Finally, I was wondering if we could invite other singles who are not in the group, but who would want to join us. For example, if you have a friend or acquaintance who wants to come, let 'em! The more singles, the more selection, I say. And besides, it's not like we're going to put an ad in craigslist about the event.
These are just ideas for right now. Please respond with your own thoughts!
