Special Secrets and Tips For The Ball 2009

Thursday, December 24th, 2009
Event 01
Event 02
We are looking forward to hosting you tonight at The Ball 2009 in NYC, The Ball in LA (see NBC coverage) and The Ball for Ages 40+.

Here are some insider tips about the Biggest Ball of them all - The Ball 2009 in NYC!

  • We’ve sold more advance tickets for tonight’s event than for any in our 15 year history! So we are expecting an amazing night.  Ok, that wasn’t that thrilling.  But we do thank you sincerely and have worked hard to ensure a great, fun night for you.

  • Plenty of tickets will still be available at the door. And we’ve become pretty good over the years at making sure wait times to buy tickets are as short.

  • Our Hummer Limo / Luxury Bus Service runs from 10 pm to 3 am. Our plan is to run the Hummer Limos between Hiro, The Park and Cabanas and the Luxury Buses to Carnival, which is further away.  However, during the course of the night, we sometimes re-route them if a particular venue has become too crowded.  (Here’s a story about the humble beginnings of our limo sevice idea).

  • Important: We want you to enjoy all of the venues tonight or, at least as many as you would like to visit. However, during the busiest portion of the night, some venues may be temporarily at capacity.  When that happens, we will direct you to one of our other venues that isn’t yet full.  Of course, you can stop back at the first venue later in the evening and you will be able to enter all of the venues during the course of the long evening, if you so choose.

  • If you bought a Jewniversal Pass in advance, you must pick it up at the venue you selected during the checkout process.  Each venue has its own list only of the people who chose that venue as their starting point.  We will email you a reminder this afteroon.

  • The “Jewniversal Pass” sounds like the Golden Ticket from Willy Wonka. The sad truth is, it’s only a wristband. But you have it, you can enter all of the venues and use the limos, luxury buses (and the Wonkavator).

  • Finally, when you enter the venue where you will start your evening, please be sure to obtain:  1)  The Jewniversal Pass; 2) An admission ticket to Friday’s Free After Party at Lucky Strike. If you visit Carnival, please also pick up your 4 game tickets.

Most importantly, drink responsibly, drive safely and best wishes for a Happy New Year!

Attractive Girls Union Refuses To Enter Into Talks With Mike Greenman

Monday, December 22nd, 2008

(This is the 4th Day of our “12 Days of the Ball 2008” series)

Many great relationships - and marriages - began with friendly banter at The Ball.  It’s for this reason, that we suggest Mike Greenman purchase a Jewniversal Pass.

At Least We Beat Cleveland (no offense, Cleveland)

Tuesday, September 9th, 2008

Forbes has released it’s annual report on the “Best Cities for Singles” and NYC (where LetMyPeopleGo is based) was ranked #8.  Of course, this report is never what it seems to be on the surface (the best cities to meet someone) because it takes into account things like cost-of-living (we were dead last) and job growth (29th).  But we finished first in “coolness” and first in “nightlife” so that should provide you with some solace the next time you pay $14 for a martini.

Atlanta was ranked #1 and, as someone who has spent a great deal of time there with our other company (www.NetParty.com), this doesn’t surprise me at all:  the cost of living is low (when they charge me $2.50 for a beer I want to say, “cool, give me four”), the people are among the friendliest and most approachable in the observable universe and there are tons of young singles.

Minneapolis tied for #3?  Well, not in my experience.  I spent a few days there doing depositions as a young attorney and confidently strode into their downtown bars one night, feeling like a pitcher with his good fastball.  I left a few hours later having been hit all over the ballpark.   To continue the baseball analogy, suffice it to say, even in trying to start a conversation, I left 0 for Minneapolis.  Maybe the tall dorky Jewish thing doesn’t play in the Land of 10000 Lakes.

Orlando #9?  Hey, I like the Spiderman ride at Universal as much as anyone, but if you’ve ever spent any time in downtown Orlando, you’d know this result is just plain goofy.

Forbes also has a semi-amusing video on bad pick-up lines, an article on how to be a healthier single (hint: fewer $14 martinis) and cautions not to sleep with a man for 90 days.

Where do you think are the best/worst cities for singles?
