Dear Fabulous Single People in Boise,

You are cordially invited to the second-ever Boise Weekly/FameFifteen Singles Mixer. And what better time to gather all Singles than right before the dreaded Singles-Awareness Day (aka Valentine's Day). We'll be getting together at The Lobby for drinks, socializing and games (not cheesy one, well, maybe slightly cheesy) this Thursday the 11th at 7:00 pm.

No excuses people! Come down for at least one drink, you know you want to, don't be scared.

And if we can't get you there, our bossier friends at Boise Weekly probably can. Here is a link to their article about the Mixer.

See you there!

We love to see someone going for their dreams. Alice Housel is finally doing that after having two kiddos and having been married for years. And she's talented to boot! Take a look at why we love Alice:

Dear FameFifteen:
The letter you posted from Stephanie peaked my interest as it was nearly entirely a reflection of my own outlook and sentiment, and of course it's quite refreshing to feel you're able to relate to someone on such important issues as your outlook on,and pursuit of, companionship. Being on the opposite end of the subject in some ways, I do note that there are some differences.
I can't help but point out a difference between my experience and Stephanie's. I myself have never had too many guy friends as let's face it, the strong majority of guys my age show their intellect by sitting around the television talking about which girl is hotter. And well, I don't even own a TV for that matter. I'm 23, business owner for six years, homeowner, loyal, and supposedly have a delightful sense of humour when I feel like being funny. Currently, every female friend I have is not single and considers me to be “one of the good guys." Although I'd certainly never wish they were no longer with their loved ones, I've been curious if having more single friends would actually be better for finding a great girl; however, part of the issue is that here Stephanie is with many lovely, eligible, single friends who although not intentionally hopefully, are sort of competition as far as supply and demand goes in the sense that I'm guessing that if one girl finds a guy of gold, she's not going to be willing to give that gold away. Meanwhile, many good, sensible guys don't have a pack of guy friends throwing parties, downing some suds and watching the game downtown, and other such avenues that provide opportunity to meet women through friends.
Maybe it's a good idea for the lady looking to go for the “non-pack” guy. I'm not sure that phrase will ever catch on. I'd wager you could find them at more low-key events: some festivals, venues with local artists, community classes, and of course, my favorite event: wine tastings.
I've also included a letter and two pictures for Stephanie. I would be grateful if you would please forward it to her. Perhaps FameFifteen will more so be how people meet *smile*.
 

One of our favorite organizations in town, the Women's and Children's Alliance, is holding a Fundraiser Thursday night at Moon's Kitchen. The Fundraiser involves you going and tasting ten of the best soups in town offered by ten of the best Restaurants in town. Details below. See you there!

Dear Famefifteen,
 
   So every week I see pictures of good looking men on your site and around Boise. I know that good guys exist (I occasionally will doubt this). But, for some reason finding a good one is difficult. I've heard somewhere that Boise is one of the best cities for dating? Is this true?!!? WTF? I swear I'm not an ugly witch (attached a pic to prove I look normal), or a crazy teeny bopper I'm 23. I have a good job (leasing agent/EMT), ambition (Paramedic), I have a house, and I take care of myself.  But, why for the love of pete can I not find a good guy???!!! Preferably with: job, car, ambition, responsibility and a sweet side. I have a ton of single girlfriends that are beautiful, smart, funny and caring that have the same problem as me. Where do you meet people in Boise!!?? A couple of weeks ago I spent close to three hours talking a with a guy. He seemed like a great guy...Mr. Perfect in fact. He finally asked if I had a boyfriend, I of course told him no. So then just for conversation sake I asked if he had a girlfriend....he hesitated. WTF??!! Really!!?? He told me he had a little bit of a girlfriend....and later I find out a "little bit' meant a year and a half!!! I was with someone for four years (who now is becoming engaged after four months with someone) and I never cheated. So the concept of cheating is something that eludes me.....if you don't want to be with someone DON'T BE!! And now Valentines Day is fast approaching...perfect. Red and pink fluff was distributed throughout stores before they could even get the Christmas decorations out!! Why don't we make Valentines Day and equal opportunity holiday? Put out eff Valentines day cards....sell candy for it! (kidding) In all seriousness, I'm a romantic at heart and seeing all the red and pink fluff breaks my heart. Alot of my friends will be cuddling up with their boyfriends (I think it's sweet and I'am happy for them) while I blast Pink and keep trying to convince myself I hate men. Soooo....I guess the point of this rant was to see if there is an event being planned for those of us that get kinda sad when we see the pink fluff. And if not I hope something will be planned! Please, please, please for me and the rest of the single community of Boise make Valentines Day a fun day!!! And keep up the good work! Thanks famefifteen!! And kudos on the Barbacoa Fundraiser! :)
 
Stephanie
 
p.s. In my picture please ignore the tiara...it was birthday shenanigans. I know I look ridiculous and drunk...but normal!! :)

Alright. So, opinions, please. Why is an attractive, supposedly "normal" and funny girl like Stephanie having such a hard time? And any advice, Boise? We told her to create a profile on the Boise Weekly Personals section of their website and to come to the next Boise Weekly/FameFifteen Singles Mixer taking place February 11th at The Lobby. Any other ideas?

After we asked her if we could post her letter, she sent us another stunning picture to post if we wanted to. And Guys, we have her number. Just sayin.
