Á ■ Singles Party ‘Off the Hook’ Another evening planned Dec. 17 A spark was ignited that has yet todie. Portland’s first black singles party was off the hook as men and women in the mid- 20s on up gath ered for an exciting and unpredict able evening. The gentlemen were well-suited with ties, belts and matching shoes. The women were dressed with the sweetness of honey: pretty, dainty and feminine. Participants arrived, checked in and scoped the atmosphere for that perfect date. Special activities in cluded speed dating, a series of mini-dates whereby all personal information was withheld includ ing real names. Each participant kept a scorecard to rate his or her date a "hit,” "miss” or "friend." The results were turned in and favorables were lateremailed back to the participants with per mission to contact their dates. The participants took it from there. One flaw of this particular event was that the women outnumbered the men. But the ladies took the disparity in stride. One man de scribed the ratio as “absolutely lovely.” Later, a lock-n-key party gave each male a key and each woman a lock. The assigned task was to find the matching the matching lock or key and win a dance. Something more risque' was originally planned but changed at the last minute. Organizers promise a not-so-inno- cent variation o f the gam e for Valentine’s Day 2005. Finally, the night ended with a raffle date o f some of Portland’s finest black men and black women. Lucky winners were taken to a side room for 15 minutes o f conversa tion, food and drinks. If there was a spark, the prize was adinnercertifi cate at a local restaurant. And rest assured, there was a spark, at least for one couple. Overall, participants had an ex tremely "good time." PDX Black Singles events re quire pre-registration. The next singles event titled "Play in'G am es” will be held Monday, Dec. 17 at 8 p.m. at the historic Elks Lodge at 6 N. Tillamook St. bet ween Williams and Vancouver.
