Speed Dancing: America’s Newest Dating Craze

March 29, 2012 staronepr Leave a comment

Single adults of all ages are invited to meet numerous new friends on the dance floor, April 27, 2012, at the Hyatt Regency Hotel San Francisco Airport.

San Rafael, CA, March 29, 2012 — Contact: Tom Andrews, 415/507-9962

Move over, Speed Dating. Hello, Speed Dancing, where singles can meet many more partners in an evening, and have much more fun! America’s first-ever Speed Dancing Party takes place on Friday, April 27, 2012, 8pm-Midnight, at the Hyatt Regency Hotel, 1333 Bayshore Hwy, Burlingame CA 94010.

“The most popular format for meeting singles meeting face-to-face at an event has always been the Dance Party,” says Rich Gosse, Chairman of The Society of Single Professionals, who has produced over 1,000 singles dances throughout the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand over the past 33 years. “Often we get hundreds to attend a dance, giving singles so many choices. The problem is shyness. You have to put your ego on the line and ask someone else to dance, risking a bruising rejection. So except for the very self-confident, most people meet very few new friends at a singles dance. The solution is Speed Dancing, where everyone meets everyone on the dance floor, three minutes at a time.”

Rich Gosse is America’s foremost authority on finding a romantic partner. He is the author of eight books on this subject, including You CAN Hurry Love, Singles Guide to America, and A Good Man Is EASY to Find (“This is a great book!” Oprah Winfrey). His expert advice has been featured by ABC, CBS, CNBC, CNN, Fox, Oprah, Cosmopolitan, Newsweek, Playboy, Playgirl, The Wall Street Journal, The London Times, The Australian, The New Zealand Herald, etc. Rich Gosse is available to the news media for interviews by calling 415-479-3800. His personal website is http://www.richgosse.com.

The Speed Dancing Party is sponsored by The Society of Single Professionals, the world’s largest non-profit singles organization. Adults of all ages are welcome. The cost is $20 at the door. Anyone wishing more information may visit http://www.thepartyhotline.com or call 415-507-9962.

Using Science to Choose the Right Loving Partner Keynotes Silicon Valley Singles Convention

March 27, 2012 staronepr Leave a comment

Rachel Heller, author of Attached: The New Science of Adult Attachment and How It Can Help You Find–and Keep–Love keynotes this event on April 14, 2012.

San Rafael, CA, March 27, 2012 — Contact: Tom Andrews, 415/507-9962

Author Rachel Heller will keynote the annual Silicon Valley Singles Convention, Saturday, April 14, 2012, 7:30pm, at the Clarion Hotel, 1355 N Fourth St., Downtown San Jose CA 95112. Her topic is “Using Science to Choose the Right Loving Partner.”

“Unfortunately, most singles leave their love lives to chance,” says Ms. Heller. “They repeat the same mistakes, over and over, choosing incompatible partners. The alternative is to discover which of three attachment styles you have: secure, anxious, or avoidant. Then you can choose someone with a compatible style, rather than be doomed to repetitive, negative interaction. This is all based on real science, not slickly packaged personal opinion.”

Rachel Heller is the co-author of the acclaimed and recently released Attached: The New Science of Adult Attachment and How It Can Help You Find-and Keep-Love. The book has been featured by Newsweek, London Sunday Times, Wall Street Journal, San Francisco Chronicle, Cosmopolitan, Scientific American Mind (cover story), Time, Elle, Glamour, Women’s Health, Marie Claire, and many other publications. She and her co-author, Dr. Amir Levine, are available to the news media for interviews and may be contacted at attachedthebook@gmail.com.

The Silicon Valley Singles Convention begins at 7:30pm with the Keynote Address by Ms. Heller, followed by a Dance Party, 9pm-Midnight. The cost is $20 at the door. Adults of all ages are welcome.

The Convention is co-sponsored by The Society of Single Professionals, the world’s largest non-profit singles organization; and by Singles Supper Club, the Silicon Valley’s premiere dining club for unattached professionals.

Waka Flocka Flames Replaces Future During Recent Performance

March 24, 2012 straightlinepr Leave a comment

Club Underground and CCA Made Last Minute Changes to Future & Wale Concert

Tampa, FL, March 22, 2012 – The city of Tampa, FL is none for its beautiful scenery and magnificent weather, but these aren’t the only things Tampa is known for. When it comes to Hip-Hop music Tampa has been on the rise for a few years now. In a recent concert, Hip-Hop star Future was slated to perform for an adoring crowd of fans on March 10, 2012. As fans came from far and near to Tampa’s infamous Club Underground, they got a surprise treat during the show. Due to some unfortunate circumstances such as a delayed flight and some last minute cancelations, Future was unable to take the stage and Waka Flocka came in and stole the show.

Waka was more than willing to take over for Future; as a matter of fact he gave such an energy infused stage performance that he will most likely come back to Club Underground again soon. This wasn’t Waka’s first appearance at Tampa’s livest Hip-Hop spot, he’s performed several times at Club Underground and each time Waka has left the audience beggin for more. The initial show was supposed to be Future and Wale but it turned into a Wale and Waka hit combo. The show got highly favorable reviews from fans and Club Underground offered their deepest apologizes for the last minute changes. Wale and Waka Flocka performed many of their fan favorites including their smash hit “No Hands” which made the club go crazy.

“One thing I can always say about Waka Flocka is he always comes through for us when we need him. He always displays professional showmanship and never leaves his crowd hanging.” stated Durby Brandon of Capital Connections Agency. Wale also did a phenomenal job as he performed hits such as; “Ambition”, “Lotus Flower Bomb’ and “100 Hunnit.” The event was the Official After- Party for Tampa’s 94.1 Wild Splash. Ladies got in free and there was drink specials all night. Club Underground is located at 802-806 e Whiting Street (On the Corner of Jefferson) Downtown Tampa, FL. To book an event at Club Underground or to perform at a live show information please calls 813-221-3582.
