10 More Days...

It's September 1st and we're a week (and some) away from conference.  We have so much planned this year, it's going to be ridiculously fun!!!!!!!! Let's begin with mixers.  As I called people to invite and remind them about conference, I asked, "How would you improve this year's conference?"  Majority requested MORE mixers. Some talked about how long they had to wait in line for Speed Dating last year in Santa Cruz.  I about died laughing thinking, "WOW! For reals? People really stand in line for that?"  See, Polynesians don't speed date.  We do Speed Marriage (but that's an entire different blog right there!).

Let me explain...my very first Speed Dating experience was in Huntington Beach (HB) earlier this year AND I didn't even participate.  I just watched the game for a bit. In HB, one of the leaders, possibly a High Councilman, had to literally stop the dance until a couple of men filled the spots for that particular block.  After about 10 minutes, he impatiently says, "Hey, we're doing this for you! We're already married!"  I needed CPR after that comment from laughing so hard!  So, we're not going to beg or force you to Speed because what we have lined up for Friday and Saturday, YOU WILL BE STANDING IN LINE.

Are you competitive?  Well, we have "The Great Amazing Race" on Saturday afternoon at Great America.  Teams will be looking for clues in the park and trying to solve them within an hour.  You can either get your team together or hook up with other midsingles.  Let's throw down in v-ball.  Bring your teams and battle others for the rights as Bay Area's #1 Midsingles Volleyball Team.  There is a live DJ all day so you could get your groove on.  Also, tons and tons of mixers inside the pavilion, like "Minute to Meet It!"  We got the bomb host because he watches the actual game every week, so he's gonna hook this puppy up.  Can YOU do it in 60 seconds or less?  Come find out...
Saturday night I think is going to be off the hizzook!  Boogie Shoes!!! It's all about shoes that night so put on your best boogies to impress.  Speed Networking and more mixers will be on play along with Speed Dancing and Speed Shoes.  It's going to be one buuuuuuuuusy Saturday but all worthwhile.

Sometimes, midsingle activities are not all about looking for that "eternal companion" but rather, a place to have fun with others who share the same moral values.  A place to meet new friends who will make living the gospel easy.  Friends who will assure us that being Mormon is the best thing in life!  Hope to see you there, friends.
