    SAN FRANCISCO

    When: IQD (Thursday, February 14), 7 pm
    Place: Red Hill Books
    401 Cortland Avenue
    Bernal Heights in San Francisco

    Bring a to-do list to see if it’s compatible with someone else’s. (It’s also a To-Do List mixer. . . )

    Miranda Culp of The Mirandaband will be lighting up torch songs.

    The after-party will continue next door at the Stray Bar (309 Cortland) at 9pm with quirky cocktails and continued mingling.

    BAINBRIDGE ISLAND, WASHINGTON
    Place: Casa Rojas restaurant
    Time: 7:00pm
    Date: IQD (February 14th)

    From Tom, the host: “Our island may be small, but you’ve got to be quirkyalone to live and survive here. So we’ll celebrate. Great door prizes will be given to those in attendance. The quality of the gift will be comensurate with your quirkiness. The easiest place to register is at:
    http://groups.yahoo.com/group/IslandSingles

    See you there!”

    People are currently making plans for IQD in Madison; Los Angeles; and North Adams, Massachusetts in the forums. They’re also talking about how they’ll celebrate in their own inimitable, quirky ways. How do you plan to celebrate IQD? Leave a comment. . . .

      I just wanted to say Thank You for giving single folks a voice! I just heard about your website and QuirkyAlone Day on NBC TV. I’m exactly that Quirkyalone person you described! I would rather go it alone than date for the sake of not-being-alone… I too bought my own house, go on my own vacations, and have a great group of like-minded QA friends that generally enjoy life in this way. In fact, we’ve planned a dinner party of our own on Feb. 14th to celebrate our “single and proud” status. Although, I hope to make one of your QA parties soon. Happy QA Day to all!
