     I will add something, too.

     Today, the 23rd, there is a Singles Expo going on at the Hyatt Palo
Alto at 4290 El Camino Ave.

     11 AM - 5 PM: Free Exhibits, featuring dozens of singles
                   organizations, dating services, travel agencies,
                   and companies with products and services of interest
                   to singles.  Free lectures and demonstrations are
                   provided throughout the day on center stage.

      8 PM - 1 AM: EXPO BALL, featuring live music by The Simplistics,
                   who will play your favorite hits and oldies.  Dress
                   your finest (Men have to wear ties)!  $10.


     Last night, the 22nd, the Expo started with a Keynote address by
Jerry Murray, Ph.D. titled "Avoiding Bimbos and Jerks: How to Pick a
Winner in the Dating Game" followed by a Dance Party.  I had a very
good time listening to the address and dancing afterwards.

     I plan to show up to the Free Exhibits, but I am not sure whether
I will go to the Expo Ball because I am not too keen on wearing a
tie.  I'll see what happens.

No, I'm not into the Westin man-o-rama (but GIRLS, don't pass this chance to

To be welcome?  Show up!  That's all.  Everybody's welcome, even the
people we spend so much time flaming.  Though some of them get flamed
for good reason, and in person, too.  Doesen't always mean we hate 'em,
just that we enjoy given' 'em a ration of shit. 
Some of 'em even take it well.

Next one?  I don't know if there is anything specific planned.  If you
like, you could set one up yourself - just pick a place and date, I suggest
between ten days and three weeks in the future, and make a posting.
Something like: 
	Hey, everybody, I'm new here, and I found an interesting
	microbrewery at ____, where I'm planning to be on the
	night of ____ from about ___ until the crowd thins.  
	If you think you can make it, please send me a reply,
	so I can ask for enough seats at the table.

That's really all it takes - no approval process, no comittees, just
initiative.

Not being a beer drinker (no objection, just lost my taste for it) I don't
know if it's any good, but there's a place that seems to be a microbrewery
on Winchester across the street from the Toys'r'Us that's just south of
I280.  Others on the net will probably steer you to a few good ones.

Speaking of football players....

A couple of weeks ago someone posted an article in s.s. which advised that
the large hotel and convention center across the street from where he worked
was a good place to meet women.  He claimed that there were a lot of single
people only in town for a couple of days and were looking for something to
do.  My response was basically, *plonk* (the sound of ones hand striking 
thier forehead),  as I looked out across the street at the very large Westin
Hotel and Santa Clara Convention Center.  Since then I've paid a little more
attention to the events that are going on there.  Last week I was walking
through and noticed their were a lot of cowboy hats worn.  Turned out that
there was a large country-western dancing convention.  For those that are
into that, it might have been kind of entertaining.  This week there is
something even more interesting going on.  The East-West Shrine game (football)
is being played this week and the coordinators and players are staying at
the Westin.  Yesterday, I was in a training class at the hotel, and the lobby
was filled with lots of very large and very athletic looking men.  Speaking
to these all-star college players were a bunch of other guys that turned out
to be pro-football recruiters.  In any case, mostly as a service to any
women that might be so inclined, these guys outht to be around for at least
another day or two as the game is this weekend.  Tina, at least, might be
interested.

Marvin this makes no sense.  If you truly believe that Great E$pectation$ are
not trustworthy, and that your organization offers a better alternative, 
then you *need* to be there.  Else, why form "Mingles" in the first place?

There's a Gordon Biersch microbrewery in downtown San Jose that has 
the standard California yuppie food and decent beer, from what I 
understand. In the summer, they also have jazz quartets playing 
in their "garden."

	No. I think my original reply to W. David was mostly playing the
devil's advocate, so that somewhere in the middle between the two arguments
would be the 'golden mean,' or, the 'balance' or the 'middle way' as the
Tao monks put it.

	Excuse my ignorance, but what is I Ching anyways? I *honestly*
have no idea what it is -- although I have come across it many many times
in Amorica. I have always thought that it was some book written by some
Monk in Chinatown in the 70's.

was "However, that is of no significance to me."

Oh, I don't think so.  I'd have to guess that most of us would rather

Hey!  That sounds like a good idea!  Whataya think, Des?

On second thought, he's probably not worth the bullet.

The Irish Film Society is showing the movie
"Uncle Robert's Footsteps" (I hope that's rite)
on Thursday 11 Feb 93 at 7 PM
at the United Irish Cultural Center,
2700 45th Ave, San Francisco.  (This is out by the SF Zoo).
No charge.

I didn't hear but I presume it's upstairs there.  There
will be a panel discussion afterwards.  I don't have a
synopsis of this at hand yet.  I have a phone number for
further information; I'm wary of posting it on the net
but feel free to email me for it.
