*** It's a great day to meet other singles! See you tonight! ***

UPDATE #5: If you were unable to secure a spot for this event online, you have the option of "flying standby." There are usually 10 no-shows for this event, so you just might be able to get on board. Make sure to come early with exact cash.

UPDATE #4: We will be in the back, downstairs in the Trophy room!

UPDATE #3: Drink specials are $3 domestic drafts, $4 house wine and $4 import pints!

UPDATE #2: This is a reminder that the early bird special will end THIS Sunday, Jan 24th!

UPDATE #1: Since we’re approaching full capacity and to be fair to those who want to join in I will remove unpaid rsvps by Monday, Jan 11th so to *truly* lock in your spot, please make payment immediately.

This one's for the singles in our group!

I've made special arrangements with BlackFinn Saloon for this event. We'll each experience a dozen first dates in one evening with numerous single young professionals of the opposite sex in BlackFinn's pleasant and friendly environment.

At the beginning of the evening, we'll each receive a name tag with a unique number on it, as well as an index card on which we'll print our name, our unique number, and our email address. For the first hour, we will rotate every 4 minutes and meet over a dozen new single friends. We'll then write down the unique number of those we'd like to see again and hand the card back in. (In the next few days after the event, we'll receive an email with any mutual matches.)

After the dating portion, for the next hour, we'll still have the place reserved for us to mix, mingle, and get to know each other a little bit more at the bar, with drinks specials for our group only!

For those that haven't been there before, BlackFinn Saloon is a great pub, which encourages a pleasant and friendly setting for us to interact.

We've got an early bird special for this event. From now through Sunday Jan 24th, the price is just $15, yup $15! After that, it will go up to $20. Secure your slot by rsvp'ing yes AND making payment! Come join us as we spend a pleasant evening amongst other singles from our group!

    •  It was a good time, despite occasionally being hard to hear. Everyone was friendly and fun. 
    •  It was a little too loud but I had fun. It was nice to meet everyone that I interviewed, oops I mean met, LOL! Good times!

       This was my first time speed dating and it was definitely a fun experience. There was a good variety of people and the drink specials were nice as well. My only complaint would be that it was quite loud once everyone started talking. Can't wait to see who my mutual matches are! 
    •  It was a little loud. but it was fun and I think the organizers did a great job. 
    •  So much fun!! Everyone was friendly and I felt fine talking to random people, even though I was there alone. I look forward to more events! 
    •  It was a good experience, although maybe a break at the 30 min mark would have been nice.

       It was a good event. Well organized. Loud though. Good people. I enjoyed it. 
    •  fun. save for the douche that bumped into me and got wine all over my sweater. 
    •  didnt get a chance to meet half the ladies there. I heard the same comments from alot of people... A suggestiion would be to do 15 dates.. 15 minute break etc...
