It was amazing to see what happened when you put erotic,
Venetian masks on an already well-dressed, attractive group
of friends.  We can tell you that "tame" and "boring" were not
on the list of adjectives.

As always the evening was filled with glamour and
camaraderie, fine food and fabulous music, a stunning guest
list and an amazing locale.  And for the first time ever George
permitted a talented, professional photographer to take a few
candid photos of the guests in their finery.  All in all, as  
ZapOte sang live that night, it was a chance to, "share one
body with two mouths".  What a way to bring in the New Year!

Happy New Year!

Hi George and Ann

Thank you for last night we had a wonderful experience and hope we are on the guest list for you future events.
If you come across a Mercedes transponder key its ours, we lost it last night.
Thanks again and Happy New Year!

R. and S.

Note: We found the key, though regrettably, we thought it was a generous hostess gift.  Oh well, it wasn't our color anyway.


From HudsonDuo of NY. - 1/1/09

George,

It was great meeting you, Ann and everyone there.

Thank you for the invitation, it was a great time. I hope to catch up with you again in '09.

Happy New Year,
P.

From UberABK of NY. - 1/1/09

George,

Thank you so much again for inviting us and for executing a party full of elegance, panache, fun and beautiful couples as far
as the eye could see. Having no idea what to expect I can only say I have never been more pleasantly surprised and we look
forward to attending your events as often as you'll have us.

I must say, meeting you George was one of the more intimidating moments in my life. Minus my deer in the headlights look, I
can say my second thought besides "Say something B.!" was the man behind the curtain seldom lives up to the hype. But
you are as handsome and charming as imagined and more.

Thank you again for an unforgettable evening and start to the New Year.

We wish you and yours all the best for 2009 :)

B. & A.


From Lionsflame of NYC. - 1/1/09

George and Ann,

Just a quick note to thank you for inviting us to your New Year’s Eve party.  

K. and I are lying here right now and reveling in the wonderful memories of last night.  As we had mentioned to you weeks
before the party, we were a bit concerned about going to a party where we knew no one.  Needless to say, not only was that
not even the remotest of issues, but we enjoyed all the people we met so much.  It was exactly as you suggested it would be
– a get together of like-minded people – and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.  Not to mention of course that you were
absolutely the most wonderful hosts.  (I overheard K. even telling her father on the phone today about how the host took her
up to see the belvedere – in 5 degree weather.).

We spent quite a bit of time with J. and K., and though we said we would keep in touch, we did not get any contact
information.  If you could either share their email address with us, or if more appropriate, could you provide them with ours
and let K. know that K. was looking to reach out to her, that would be appreciated.

In the meantime we hope you will stay in touch with us.  Certainly if you have plans to be in the City, please call – we’d love to
get together.

Best regards, and thanks once again,

K. & S.


From TheTwoOfUs1106 of Ma. - 1/2/09

George,

Had to comment on what a great party you throw.  An age appropriate group was one of the best factors that go into "mixing
and matching" any party, especially a lifestyle event. Nice job at that aspect as well as the perfect venue/home for the group
that size.  Awesome.  The only regret I have for the evening is that I lost an email contact for a couple M. and I hooked up
with.  I hate when that happens.  Their names were T. & A. from Woodstock.  Could you send it to me?  If you are
uncomfortable with that please contact them for me with this email address (xxx@xxx.xxx), and tell them to contact us here
and we look forward to hearing from them.  

Thanks in advance for that and of course keep us in the loop for future "Do you know George?" events.   

All the Best,
G. & M.


From Tape_worm of NY. - 1/2/09

Thanks for the party, we had fun.

If you have any pictures of B. and me in masks, and the one with you and Ann it would be fantastic if you could email them ,
with thanks.

All the best,

B. & N.


From KS of NYC. - 1/2/09

Dear Ann and George,

You did again, a very fun party to end 2008 and start 2009.

Wish you again a healthy, wealthy and sexy new year.

J. and I had a great time as always and met new friends.

Looking forward to hear from you again.

Lots of kisses and much love.

K. + J.


From Erotic_Couple_21 of NY - 1/2/09

George,

N. and I enjoyed ourselves thoroughly at your wonderful gathering. We do apologize for leaving early.

We appreciated your kindness in taking an extra minute to speak with us and make us feel welcome and comfortable. You
are a gentlemen, and a consummate host.

Please keep us on your list. We now understand the situation and will be better prepared. We also understand that you travel
back and forth to NYC. Should you by chance use the Taconic Parkway, we are about  10 minutes off the TSP on our
vineyard in the lovely hamlet of Xxx.. You and Ann are welcome here for a visit and some wine.

J..

PS.  If you happen to be speaking with C., please tell him we enjoyed our stay.

PPS.  Is your quote W B Yeats or Browning?


From Kmjt of NY. - 1/2/09

Dear George and Ann

We can not thank you enough for inviting us and letting us enjoy thee best New Year's Eve we have ever had.

We are so happy to have met both of you and really hope that we can get together again soon.  You by far throw the best
party ever.  C. was also the best!! He was great and the hotel was wonderful.  We both look forward to meeting with you both
very soon.  Please always keep us in mind for any parties that you may host we would love to come.

Thank you,
K. and J.

P.S. Did you ever find a set of keys?? Room 808? If so they belong to C.   One more thing if you get any photos from the
photographer that was there please forward them on to us we would love to have the one with K. and K.  Thanks again.


From MisterRich of NY - 1/2/09

Hey George -

Thank you again for a great event -  Your parties never disappoint.

I wondered if you had an email address for the couple that we spent most of the evening with.  While I don't expect you to
know everything - she was blonde, I think her name was T. - I know they were from /Niskayuna - I know it was their second
party for you.  Not sure that helps - but if it does drop me a line.  I wanted to thank them.  They were the perfect couple for us.

If the hotel gods align it looks like my next event will be in Saratoga in March - love to have you there.  And if you are in town
and want to grab a beer you have my cell.

Thanks again.

R. & M.


From Just4fun4all of NY. - 1/2/09

Hey sweetie,

We had so much fun at the party ( as usual).  It was great to catch up with some old friends and make a few new once.  As
always, the night was not long enough, we wish we could have stayed longer in the morning, but duty calls, or more
accurately Sherm calls...LOL.

As for my sister, I am truly pleased that they had a great time, they haven't had many positive experiences in the lifestyle, so
your party has truly made a difference in how they feel about it all.  It was actually not horribly uncomfortable for me to have
them there (so I am a total freak, but thats why you love me, right?) As for T., thats a whole another story, part of living and
playing in your backyard is that you are bound to run into people you know, no biggie.

We are home this weekend, so if you want to get together, that would be cool, Sunday all day is open, so we can get lunch
and gossip or talk about work a little bit (yes, we too have to get a little more serious about making money).

So call us, and again, thanks for everything and we hope that the New Year will bring you peace, joy and a ton of happiness.

Kisses & hugs
A & G


From Chard of NY. - 1/3/09

Dear George,

Yes, the party was superb. A wonderful mix of guests this year added to the excitement. I could feel the buzz building early
on with easy and interesting conversation. It makes such a difference having guests that are socially skilled!!! Of course, we
found out about their other skills later...

The post-activity yoga & movement seem to just happen. Not sure the implications, but, rest assured, I thoroughly enjoy
instructing L. and S. and M. in anyway I can. Such hotness should be savoured.

Until next time,
R. & D.


From FunLuvin06 of NY - 1/4/09

George,

Thank you for another wonderful New Years!  Once again you proved to be the ultimate host providing an atmosphere of
friendship and pleasure. We enjoyed ourselves immensely.

We hope your New Year is filled with the pleasures you provided for us.

P. & C.


From Sirda of Ct. - 1/4/09

Hello George.

It was our pleasure to attend your party.  It was a very classy event with many details thought out to perfection, from great food
to excellent band to the electronic picture frame with pictures of your guests and we can't forget the interesting mix of people.

It was great meeting you in person and we understand that job of a host is never done, so we'll take a rain check on getting
acquainted.  

Thank you so much for having us and we're hoping to see you again soon.

XOXOXO,
M & M


From Freedom270 of Va. 1/4/09

Dear George,

Thanks much for the nice letter.  We had an absolute blast and very much appreciate your hospitality.  We too, consider you
and Ann as good friends.  

You can always count on L. for a couple memorable quotes and trust me, I won't let her forget them anytime soon.  She does
enjoy you, that's for sure.

All flights were on schedule and the return home was uneventful.  We look forward to the next great adventure!

-D. & L.


From Aniasn of NY. 1/4/09

George,

We both wanted to say thank you for a wonderful night and would love to attend future parties so please keep us in mind.
          
Thanks Again,

George,

Thanks for your warm words, your party was a blast,

Happy New Year again,
V*M


From AlbanyFunCpl of NY. - 1/6/09

Dear George and Ann,

New Years Eve was a blast (M. already got a mask for next year!). We enjoyed this party as much as the last, but did have our
fair share of drama for a while, lol!

While we didn't get to play with you guys this time, we did enjoy the mimosas and recapping the nights events with you both
Thursday.

We would love to get together sometime and look forward to seeing you and Ann again (perhaps for skiing).

Regards,
T. and M.



From Califscooter of Ct. - 1/9/09

George:

C. and I always consider it an honor to be on your guest list.  Therefore, whenever we can get to one of your soirees we do
our best to "make as many friends" as possible.  And, yes, the Mask did bring me luck.  Got to entertain a few ladies which is
always a real turn-on for C.

Hopefully, one of these days we can meet you at one of your destination gatherings.

Thanks again for a wonderful and quite memorable New Year's Eve,


J. & C.
