Take me out - Casa Rodena

Okay, it’s a given, I have expensive taste! But I also have a very down to earth side of me too. I love hanging out alone at home. I also thrive on entertaining in my home……….at any capacity. Wether it be for a tantra-ssage, an ice breaker, or 2-hours of bliss, or the date without the hassles. Or even an all day rendezvous or an overnighter, I love having company from interesting men! I just don’t have that many friends in ABQ, other than clients. I do miss that about Denver. I was always the social butterfly in the escorting arena there.

I have written about the winery, Casa Rodena, and how impressed I am with the place. Besides, it is really close to home. I want to attend one of their special events on August 10th. See below. http://casarondena.com/content.asp?CustComKey=326840&CategoryKey=326845&pn=Page&DomName=casarondena.com

So, would anyone like to accompany to this event? Or will I have to go at it alone? I’m wondering what will the demographics be? Mostly couples and single women? Or a few single men and a few single women, and mostly couples? What age group do you think will attend? It’s pricey, at $150 per person, so I know that will draw a more affluent and sophisticated crowd. Ahhh, the kind of crowd I can blend it with easily! A couple of people have mentioned taking me to the Santa Fe Opera, but that has not materialized either. Maybe I’ll have to go with my friends A&B, or damn it, just go alone! When I am out and about at social functions and people ask what I do for a living, I always say I am a marketing research consultant for start up companies. If people press me for more information, “I say I specialize in the spa and boutique hotel industry but cannot disclose any further information about my business due to privacy issues of my investors”. One time, I got a little bold and said I teach couples how to be better lovers! Now that was a conversation starter at the table! I won’t do that again.
