Hey SFandEE.. I live in San Francisco...

There is an awesome show coming up at Cocomo.. Potap and Nastya.. its their first tour to the USA..  a bit pricey at $50 a ticket but certainly doable.. I will be there..

there is a large Ukrainian community in Sacto.. they seem pretty isolated though.. meaning not that much interaction with the larger community around them.

There are a few other venues I know about but would prefer to keep quiet about because right now I am the only American in a room with dozens of FSU ladies and not many men .. the ratio is working real well for me..

What does your fiancee who's coming to America say about that?

In your previous post a few minutes ago, one reason you were disgusted with Mars was because he was seeing multiple women.

Months ago before you were temporarily banned, you announced on the forum I must be a dishonest guy for dating a few women at a time.

It's all bad unless you do it.

Thanks for the tip 2012.  I found some of the details June 18.  Will look into it a bit more.  Hope it works out that we get a chance to meet sometime at one of these events.

Other than Cafe Cocomo I have also seen some performances at The Independent and The Avalon.  The best by far though was Leningrad over at the Avalon in San Jose.  Great crowd, great group, and everyone had a blast! 

Are you going to the show?

Hi SF..

I am planning on going to see Potap and Nastya.  I have checked out a pretty large assortment of their discography and they sound pretty good so it should be a fun event. 

[SFandEE]

The response from my UW/RW friends is that it will be a fun night!  I plan to be there.

Read most of your post about Sacramento--that seemed to go very well.  If you are on Mambu.ru how do you get Real status?  I send my phone number, but they don't send the code back.  I notice some in US have the Real status, so it has to be doable.

Lets stay in touch about the Cocomo show.. I will most likely bring my new squeeze.. I think that would be an awesome surprise for her.

I have no idea about how to get "real" status.  I think the phone verification works for some and not for others.  Maybe you can get someone in the FSU to receive the call for you?

I tried a handful of methods involving international SMS messages to get "real" status on mamba and they all failed.

I finally was able to get "real" status after I added a small amount of money (like $10) to my account with a credit card.  Apparently, the act of adding money to the account gives you real status and allows you to bypass all the silliness with SMS messages.

Thanks TBB!  Great tip.  It worked.  Do you know anything about Mamboo?  Or other sites that are good to meet RW/UW here in the States?  Thanks again.

I have heard that people use these sites to meet women over in Ukraine or Russia, but this has been great for meeting nice women here!

Let's do keep in touch.  I haven't purchased ticket yet, but have friends who are going.  Want to confirm with them the plan.
