Great way to discover new places (venue changes every event) and meet great people!

This is the most fun social networking / party circuit I've found since moving from the east coast! Before I joined FT, I wasn't 'feeling it' out here but, now I have my little groove. One example, this NYE...all of my clients kept commenting about NYE always being "amateur night", "over-rated" and/or "over-priced" so they weren't getting excited about celebrating the end of the year. I was very excited because I know French Tuesdays always throws a great party...and they did! It was a Moulin Rouge costume party and everything was done perfectly! Champagne was flowing, party favors (top hats and other fun things), photo stations, a wonderful burlesque show, an acrobat, balloon drop, great DJ--everything you could want! Also, the host and organizer, Khan, is such an amazing person. He's very welcoming and has a fabulous ability to make everything seem seamless and what attention to detail! Anyway, every other week it's a treat to receive my member email inviting me to a new, fun hip spot. I really look forward to it! Thanks FT!

Full Disclosure- I have worked the front door for French Tuesdays for several months. French Tuesdays is a growing social network and party, thrown every 2 weeks on Tuesdays at different venues around SF. People who go regularly can get a full tour of all the hot clubs in the city. The crowd is a mix of francophiles, French-speakers, and those who appreciate a good time with a well-dressed crowd. There is always lots of dancing, networking, and drinking. I have met many business owners and professionals who are great people and whom I never would have met without French Tuesdays. Occasionally I have to be very firm with someone at the front door- mostly because they want to come into the party but they did not RSVP!! So make sure that you ask a friend of yours who is a member to RSVP you with your full name, or go to Frenchtuesdays.com and apply to become a member. you can see lots of photos on the web site and also at 944.com....check out the pics, check out the party, come next Tuesday if you think it is your scene.

French Tuesdays is a club for French enthusiasts in San Francisco, NYC, LA and Miami. It's every other Tuesday and the venue changes so you need to go to the website to RSVP and find out where the next event is. You need to be a member to get in for free or a guest of a member, however you can pay a fee to go in if you are not a member. The dress code is cocktail and the events go off! They offer light appetizers for about an hour and around 9 PM the DJ begins to play. It's a great club to belong to because there's always an event and you're sure to have a great time whether you are French or not!
