Wolfgang Puck Certainly Knows How To Do It Right

Five Sixty is a restaurant just below the observation deck of Reunion Tower in the  56th floor. It spins 360 degrees in 60 minutes. The Lounge at Five Sixty has great happy hour prices on the famous Wolfgang Puck food as well as beverages. This intimate bar limits group sizes so there were just 12 of us watching the sunset and downtown Dallas light up. We had the best time! With only 12 people we could easily chat as a group and get to know people better. We shared dishes and stories. A couple people were Dallas lifers that know what some of the older buildings used to be. It was really interesting to learn some history about Dallas when we just thought we’d have an amazing view. Great night! Events And Adventures Dallas

We Love Trampoline Dodgeball!

Remember dodge ball from when you were a kid? Put that on a trampoline and you have a hilarious night. I’m glad we rotate games because that’s hard work. The breaks also lets us chat and get to know each other more. I really like that everyone plays for fun. No one is out there trying to kill anyone which makes it more fun for those of us no longer in top physical condition. Sure, I can hold my own, but I forgot how hard it is to walk on a trampoline much less coordinate throwing or catching a ball while jumping. Of course we were laughing so hard it was hard to do it all at once. We had such a great time. After we played most of us went to a restaurant down the street to refuel. We got more time to visit. I like how the table of 18 would talk as a group and we’d have smaller conversations around the table too. It felt very inclusive. A great night once again! Events And Adventures Dallas

Another Amazing New Years Eve!


New Years Eve was SUCH a great time!  As we walked in the 3 tiered ballroom there was a DJ playing great music and a nice cheese and light appetizer spread. I got to see friends I hadn’t seen in months as well as meet all sorts of new people. Most had masks and it was fun figuring out who everyone was. About 45 minutes after we arrived the dinner stations were opened. There were a bunch of Italian options, a slider station, a martini mashed potato bar, salads, it seemed I could eat for days- wait! Awesome dance tune- we girls squealed, yanked and the guys closest to us and ran to the dance floor.  Many of the guys joined us and we danced a while. We went back to our plates, ate a little more and headed back out to the dance floor. GREAT tunes. That DJ played anything we asked for! Later in the evening they brought out a chocolate fondue with all the goodies. The photo booth had an impressive amount of glasses, hats & toys for out photos. Just before Midnight the wait staff brought champagne out to the dance floor for us, we grabbed our noise makers and toasted the New Year. Fantastic party! I can hardly wait to see what cool events E&A brings to 2014! Events And Adventures Dallas

Searching For Walter Mitty.......

Have you done anything noteworthy or mentionable? That is the question that plagues Walter Mitty in the movie “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.” First published in 1939 by James Thurber, Walter Mitty is a mild man with a vivid fantasy life. In his fantastic daydreams, he is the heroic, adventurous, romantic man he longs to be and personally triumphs. In Ben Stiller’s remake of the 1947 classic, Walter Mitty is trapped behind a desk where his biggest real-life adventure is trying to fill out an online dating profile. When asked what he has done that is noteworthy or mentionable, he has no answer.

Are you Walter Mitty?
Unbeknownst to Thurber and Stiller, they wrote a movie that embodies the spirit of Events & Adventures, an invitation-only club of singles who spend time together nearby or on the road having fun.
