Hudson Terrace Event

My wing women and I had such a great time at the Slate event that when I saw that the same company was doing a singles party at Hudson Terrace it didn’t take much convincing for them to come with me.  We decided to do some pre-gaming at L’s apartment since she lives in Hell’s Kitchen.  Those Skinny Girl Margarita’s are deadly!  Despite the pre-gaming and a hysterical cab ride to Hudson Terrace with a very chatting driver, we were among the first people to arrive at Hudson Terrace.  The first person I saw in the bar was a cruise friend, SM.  SM is a guy who is very sweet, but a little bit geeky.  Ok, he's a lot geeky.  But he is very sincere.   I actually taught him how to do a jello shot on the cruise since he'd never done one before and told him that the skill of using his tongue to get the jello out of the little cup was great practice for using his tongue for other things that he had also never done before that would make him very popular with the ladies.  So all four of us go over to talk to SM and out of the corner of my eye I see three really good looking guys staring at us all with their mouths hanging open.  I could completely read the look on their faces.  How is this totally nerdy guy talking with 4 good looking women?!?  Once the party started to fill up, once again my wing women and I divided to conquer.  We did create a signal to use if we needed help at any point.  The signal was to run your index finger across your eyebrow.  If you saw that, you must immediately come to the aid of your wing woman and extricate her from the man she was with.  I'm sure this signal will come in handy in the future.  I had a really great time talking to all the guys there.  There was one gentleman who told me I was the most stylish woman in the room.  Well since I was working for LOFT at the time, I would hope so!  Can we say 50% discount!  After about an hour I saw those three guys who had been watching us talking to SA and I decided to talk to them.  I walked right up to them and said “I saw how you were looking at how my friends and I were talking to that guy”  I then proceeded to tell them that if they wanted to be successful at the event they needed to split up.  It was too intimidating for a woman to approach three good looking guys.  To that, one of them said:  “but you did.”  And I replied, “but I’m not your average woman, in fact, I think I should work for this company.   I think they do great events.”  At which point one of the guys said “Well, I own it and we are looking for speed dating hosts.”  I think my face probably looked like theirs did earlier in the night when I was talking to SA.  So the owner of the company introduced me to his partner and co-owner.   I took her card and vowed that I would contact them.  The rest of the night was fantastic.  I met a guy who I exchanged numbers, and some saliva, with and eventually made my way home. 

I have emailed the co-owner of the speed dating company twice and I hope I hear back from her.
