I know, I know–as if I would tell you if it were a big failure. But hey, no lie: a ton of people showed up for Singles Night last Friday, and it was super fun. I suspect much of the reason was that Shelton decided at the last second to provide beer and wine; whatever the cause, by 8 o’clock or so the joint was jumping! Lots of guys and girls, lots of music, lots of conversation–I’m not sure how many love connections were made, but we weren’t doing any exit polls, either. Suffice it to say that we had such a great time that we’ll definitely be doing this again! Next up on the schedule will be the brand new Discussion Night we’re planning, which readers of the Heroes Hotline may have noticed on Friday. But that’s a blog post for another day, one which I’ll leave to Andy Mansell, who’ll be running the discussion.

For a complete rundown of the night with a ton of color 8 x 10 glossies with the circles and the arrows on the back of each one, check out our Flickr set devoted to the event. And thanks to everyone who made our first Singles Night such a big success! Extra special thanks to the Sweet On Geeks website and Geek Monthly magazine, who provided tons of free stuff and really got the word out–you guys are the best!
