So it's about to become dead season and the spur which is our usual go to place in PC starts dying down. I'm thinking something small where it won't be weird if another couple doesn't click, but not too big to be overwhelming.
I like the idea of a lounge and drinks and if it's fun go someplace else and if not it's a low key way to hang. I find that big leather sofas and oversized chairs are better than hard back bar chairs hence the no sports bar idea.
I'm wondering what would work to have 3 maybe 4 couples meet in PC at a lounge.
I'm thinking Fletcher downstairs as an example. Big sofa, lounge music. Or Tupelo upstairs they have a section near the bar that has a few comfy chairs and couches. No music though.
Let me know if this type of thing would work, any risks, any better ideas etc

We'd be down for that!

We're very interested.
Sounds fun. Do you have to live in PC to come?
I don't see why you old have to live in pc, I guess it would make more sense for friendships if someone who didn't like experience here actually came to pc quite a bit otherwise it may make it hard to stay friends.
it would be nice to have something close to home so yes we would be interested.
We would be very interested as well please post details when it's taking place.
OK.. Wife is out of town, so likely 6th or 7th..
More to come
More to come
Sounds good thank you.
Some ideas I've had that would set this apart from the well functioning larger meet up.
* Min of 3 max of 4 couples... Not overwhelming
* People that don't know each other so natural conversations cliques.
* Meet at a lounge or bar around 8 until 10pm..this is post dinner and presents after party.. A few drinks before a later night... This may be too early.. Maybe 9 to 10:30..thoughts?
* No sexual talk while there. It'll get the curiosity flowing making it more exciting. It'll be normal talk and more a chance to know people. And we can have it anywhere.
* Classy dressing.. No themes, no super sexy stuff. Just classy wear that people would regularly wear to a place.
* Maybe some standard question or topics in back pocket to get things going or in case we hit a awkward pause.
* Go to various places in PC to try them all out. Could also have a SLC mingle as well.
* everyone has their own tab.. No real host but maybe whoever arranges to get there and save places to sit.
* those who come should be willing to come to pc enough to maintain a friendship... Don't have to live here just don't be a one and done stranger
Feel free to disagree, give better suggestions, etc

@parkhot,
Great ideas on a get together in PC. You have obviously given this a lot of thought. Since it's slack, there should be ample room at most places, are you thinking of keeping it contained to mainstream? There are other options that may work and be more private and also make the setting free flowing. I am thinking maybe Wine Dive, Boneyard and Blind Dog - just a thought.

@wobbily.. Thanks.. Haven't tried wine dive yet... Boneyard could work for sure.. Haven't tried blind dog sushi yet.
Does there happen to be anything going on in PC this weekend? We are headed that way tomorrow for a week. We are actually staying in SLC, but planning to head to Park City as well. 
Thanks,

Nothing major going on except a Kevin Costner band on Sunday night @ Op Rockwell.
Count us in!
We tend to like the smaller but with no pressure. And if "ToLiveLifeAgain" is there, you know its going to be chill but fun
We love love the idea and would be very interested!
Would love it

What's the max age for this possible M&G
That's a good question. I don't think there should be an age limit per se but more classiness to fit with the types of environments we would go to. As in I wouldn't wear sweats t-shirts whatevs if we were to go to Stein Erickson lodge. I'd be in nice jeans, classy dress shirt, maybe a blazer and some nice dress shoes.
Another point in fact I was at Maxwells last week and saw a very hot 60+ couple. She had long hair and athletic and he looked like a typical ex olympian Parkite.. So that changed my mind on age A LOT.
Classy, sexy, fit...we like it.
"Promontory couple" with an edge?

Hmm I shouldn't be so strong on fit.. I'm not 6 pack abs..that's not what I meant.. I meant not unkempt.
I guess what I really should have said is clean cut. Hair done nicely, etc..

Proposal for PC Mingle
• 3-4 couples so as to be not overwhelming
• People who haven’t met yet to avoid the friendship conversation bias
• Meet at a lounge or bar from 8:30 until 10:30pm - post dinner and allows for a few drinks before going somewhere else.
• No sexual talk while there – this will get the curiosity flowing making it more exciting. It'll be normal talk and more a chance to know people. And we can have it anywhere.
• Classy dressing - No themes, no super sexy stuff but rather classy wear that people would regularly wear to the place
• Rotate around various places in PC to try them all out. We could also have a SLC mingle as well
• Everyone has their own bar tab - since there is no real host but maybe whoever arranges to get there and save places to sit.
• PC focused for longer term friendship – whoever attends should be willing to come to PC enough to maintain a friendship. It sucks to meet new friends then realize can never really hang in PC due to distance.
• Age – Age cohorts as appropriate for maintaining friendship
• Expect possible friendship first – This should be the mindset, friends first and if something else happens great. But primary goal is friends.
Any more feedback?

hi are u sending emails directly to the profile's or will it be posted on party zone?
What about us upper middle class people that haven't broken into the upper class status yet? Will we be able to afford to hang? 😁😃😅

Good point, I guess I'm used to California prices and Park City seems normal (yikes!). Given that it is only 2 hours I don't expect it to be THAT big of a big in actual $$, but relative to what you could get in the valley it will definitely be more..
I would consider this a way to experience new places in Park City which will be having a lot of 2/1 dinners during shoulder season (http://www.parkrecordonline.com/restaurants/2for1coupons)

I will need to coordinate to make sure it's only 3-4 couples. If it get's too large it's overwhelming.
Probably emails then to kik for same day coordination

We used to host the occasional meet and greet up in PC back in the day (even tho we don't live there...just enjoy the chill vibe) usually at The Spur or the old Ciseros. We actually found that a slightly larger group worked even better (maybe 6-8 couples) and, to our surprise, found that adding a few couples who already knew each other didn't necessarily make it cliquish. In fact, if anything, there was sometimes sort of a competition for the new couples (fresh meat? lol). We found also that when we hosted a smaller group it was quite important to make sure all the couples were of similar age and/or body type otherwise there was a good possibility of someone feeling a little left out. That was our experience anyway. YMMV
Anyone up for tonight? Use it as a dry run. It'll just be the husband as wife is in Nashville.
Let me know and I can coordinate

It's on this Friday.. I'm going to post a meetup and a message to all that are friends.
Sounds like fun. We frequent the Spur and have never met any couples there?
