Posted: 11/1/2009 1:07:09 PM | We are doing a New Year's party at Oasis !!! ..
We are just wondering what all the wonderful people on POF would like to see at this event ...
We have the option of a buffet supper containing all the fixins !
This would depend on the number of people interested of course...
Would sell tickets for supper and cover included for the party at very reasonable rates ..of course you do not have to attend meal to go to the party !
Just wanted to put out some feelers and see if people would be interested in something like this ... does a New Year's party interest anyone at all???? | |

Sounds like a good idea but if I am at the Oasis at midnight, who is going to put my camel to bed?
...probably to obscure...

I'm shocked Poetry didn't beat me to the punch on this one! | |

Posted: 11/3/2009 1:59:16 PM | lol JBT... hire a "camel-sitter"?
sounds like a fun time...if I'm still single at New Years, I know where there will be lots of other singles parting that night...
house parties are fun, however, for occassions like that, us singles are always out numbered by cpls...and since these events are suppose to be for "single pof ppl"... there is no drama when starting conversations with others...no worries about a "s/o" taking offence by thinking someone is hitting on their partner
missed the first Oasis event...family were visiting from out of town...
ppl I chatted to who attended said it was bomb...almost like the Warehouse days lol | |

Says who??
There were lots of couples at the last 1
Why cant they also be for people who met at 1?
Or any other POF couple | |

In general.....Yes.
But a lot of couples that have met through these events attend every now and then because of the friends they met at these events before they were a couple.
The majority are single, but it certainly isn't abnormal to see couples at them.
As was mentioned previously a single person goes to a house party and it's mostly couples. This is the reverse. A couple goes to a party that is mostly singles. At both you have friends you know. :o)
Of course, the onus is on the couples to not mislead anyone.  | |

Posted: 11/3/2009 8:52:14 PM | cool...thanks for clarifing...
personally, I've never seen any cpls at the ones I attended...makes sence tho...
however, when I was part of a couple...we'd be out doing things with other cpls...that just seems to be the way things were for me in past relationships...never really gave it much thought before lol | |

Posted: 11/4/2009 10:02:37 AM | Happy Wednesday ppls!
Paige...thats good , as long as you have fun...I just assumed ppl have more coupled friends to hang out with than single friends...
lol Mac...perhaps we should have marked "cpl tables" that way us singles will know who is available and who isn't these single dances are getting confusing when one has to second guess who to chat to or ask for a dance lmao... | |

Seriously people, isnt it the same at any bar?
You could go ask a person to dance who isnt single and they simply tell you they aren't.
Single and not single people go out
Sometimes the not single people are alone and sometimes they are with their partner
When they aren't with their partner, sometimes they are honest about not being single and sometimes they aren't
Doesn't matter if it is a POF party or not

Posted: 11/9/2009 4:07:11 AM | What if the supper was served around 9? That would give folks who had to work that day time to get home, rest up a bit, and have time to get all glamourous!! Also means there wouldn't be too long of between time till folks started to arrive for the dance portion of the evening.
Plus 9 is a more civilized time for supper  | |

Posted: 11/9/2009 3:37:09 PM | | I think supper should be at 6ish. I wouldn't feel like eating at a late time in the evening. | |

9 certainly isn't the norm. Are you saying the norm is not civilized? ;) | |

Posted: 11/9/2009 5:33:44 PM | I'd prefer to be dressed and out of the house by 7 -7:30...if dinner at 6..that's kind of early...9 is a bit too late to start dinner, we'd all be eating before we leave to go to dinner lol
my vote is 7 or 8pm...preferably 8

Posted: 11/9/2009 5:55:52 PM | You should know if you eat too late and people start showing up, that makes it awkward for both the ones eating and the ones coming in.
And then there is the clearing of the plates and getting situated for the dance.
And if it is too late, who wants to dance on a full stomach. You need some time to digest. :)
I think 7 should be the latest for the dinner.
But that is just my humble opinion. :) | |

Posted: 11/9/2009 6:41:49 PM | Not too many people show up before 9 or 10 anyway. That's why I thought of a leter seating. Last year, folks left the bar and went to the pre-party between dinner and the dance. While it was nice to see everyone at the re-party, I thought it was an odd situation.
Was just a thought..... | |

Posted: 11/9/2009 6:49:39 PM | In my opinion, 9 is too late for dinner.
The News Yrs bells and Whistles go off at 12. Doesn't give a whole lot of time to eat, clean up and have a few drinks and dances before that happens
My vote would be for 6ish, no later than 7
I know that is a tad hard for people who work that day. I might have to but plan on taking my last vacation day of the year that day if possible
If not surely most bosses will be letting people slip out a tad early that day | |

Not too obscure - I loved it!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Msg: 21 understood and or got the reference to putting your camel to bed.
Song - "Midnight at the Oasis"
...Till the evenin' ends
Midnight at the oasis
Send your camel to bed
Got shadows paintin' our faces
And traces of romance in our heads
p.s. I think the Oasis should play that song at Midnight, could become a tradition. | |

You have a fan JB. | |
