8 at 8 in Playboy

We're so excited to be featured in the June 2008 issue of Playboy magazine. Under the "Advisor" section, the editors list Eight at Eight as the way for the "modern man" to meet women!

We've already been getting a great deal of calls from gentlemen who've seen the article and want to get involved. So, guys-- welcome aboard. Ladies, hang tight. A new batch of wonderful single men are on the horizon.

If you've got single friends looking to meet new people, tell them about us. After gaining exposure with first Oprah and now Hugh Hefner, you can rest assured we're the best value in the matchmaking game!

Founder of Eight at Eight: Tom Parker - Happy Birthday Eight at Eight! Today we’re turning 9 years old.

The Godfather of 8at8 is Tom Parker a brilliant consultant and creative genius. In 1998 he started 8at8 by developing the trademark, original website and logo. After creating this clever business, he decided to persue other opportunities and sold his interest in 8at8 to me, Sarah Kathryn Smith, in 1999.

Although he doesn’t live in any of our operational cities, he has been a wonderful resource and consultant to me for many years. He is invaluable and I had the opportunity to have a drink with him in Chicago when our business trips overlapped. We talk monthly and everytime I hang up I am energized by his vision for 8at8. Thank you Tom for everything – you are THE BEST. You gave me the opportunity to pursue my dream of being a matchmaker. Creating quality matches has been one of the most rewarading accomplishments in my life. Thank you!

We Missed you in Destin - Eight at Eight's 1st Annual Vacation!

Wow - the trip to Destin was more fun than we ever imagined. Our group of 30+ got along like old friends. We enjoyed a day on the beach, a cocktail cruise, lots of fruity drinks and yummy seafood. A fantastic bunch bonded in Destin, Fl for a 3 day weekend of fun, sun, and lots of making out! To see pictures of the weekend click HERE.

Don't miss the next trip. We're tossing around the idea of taking a ski trip this winter. It will be especially convenient for our Denver chapter. Stay tuned and don't miss it!

"I had so much fun even beyond smooching on a cute boy I find interesting."

"You have to plan another Eight at Eight vacation. I will go no matter where it is."
