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

UPDATE #4: There is still 1 spot left for men, so you may claim a spot by coming to the door with exact cash.  For both men and women, I also anticipate a few no shows, so if you'd like to come and "fly standby," you may...  just come early with exact cash!

UPDATE #3: We will meet upstairs for check in at 6:30pm and the dating portion will begin at 7:00pm. 

UPDATE #2: The early-bird price has now ended and the ticket price is now $25. Looking forward to seeing you there!

UPDATE #1:  There are 10 early bird spots left and the price will increase from $20 to $25 before Friday, January 27th. To be fair to those who want to join in and are ready to make payment, I'll be removing those that haven't paid by Thursday, January 12th.  So make payment to *truly* lock in your spot.

This one's for the singles in our group!

I've made special arrangements with The Barking Dog for this event.   We'll each experience a dozen first dates in one evening with numerous single professionals of the opposite sex.

From 6:30 - 7:00 we will check in, 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.   Please note we will not get to "date" everyone, however we still have the next hour to meet others during the "open social" portion of the event. We'll then write down the unique number of those we'd like to see again and hand the card back in.  (The following week 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 during an "open social" 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, The Barking Dog is a great pub, which encourages a pleasant and friendly setting for us to interact.

Please note the men-to-women signup ratio will be at or near 50:50.  Come event time, sometimes we have no shows, which means there may be more of one gender than the other (usually only a few).  This means that some people may be on a "break" here and there.  When this happens, we typically extend the speed dating portion of the event a few more rotations to make up for it.

Also, please note with everyone talking at the same time during the "dating" portion of this event, this event tends to be loud.  So please rest your voice!

We've got an early bird special for this event of $20 (the price of an entree at many restaurants)!  The first 40 paid sign-ups, or those who pay before Friday, January 27th get the early bird price!  After that, the ticket price will go to $25. Secure your slot by rsvping yes AND making payment!

Also please know that your RSVP is not guaranteed unless we receive payment.  When you pay, your online receipt is confirmation that we have received your payment.

Come join us as we spend a great evening amongst other singles from our group!

- J.T.

Metro

Bethesda is the nearest Metro stop (Red Line).  I suggest Metro / cabbing if you can. I also recommend using wmata for travel planning. Don't forget to account for Metro and traffic delays.

Since we paid in advance for this event, all sales are final unless the event is cancelled or rescheduled. Similar to a concert ticket or a football game ticket, you are free to sell your ticket to someone else (same gender only) if you are unable to attend. Work out payment between yourselves, and send us an email letting us know who will be taking your spot.  Thanks for understanding. =)
