Blue Blood sponsored an awful lot of events this Halloween, but the one I was saddest to miss personally, because I had to work, was the Release the Bats 10 Year Anniversary party.

Thanks. That means a lot to me. It's a rough go starting up in this environment. The economy is brutal and you meet up with resistance where you least expect it. I'll definitely be thinking of you guys as we get our sails up for 2009 + soon raise a glass to some great folks who are known to rock down the house.

It is - RELEASE THE BATS has lasted longer than Krypt, Zombie Zoo, Happi Haus, Kintrol Facktory, Scream, FUCK, Sin-o-Matic, Vampiricus (Linda Lasabre's Club also @ Que Sara Sara) Wake, .... in my book it's lasted longer than Helter Skelter (and the "yawn" offshoot clubs the evil empire tried and failed at later on) ....

It's not just 10 years, it's 10 years with the same venue (and that truly is a milestone) .... no Los Angeles or Orange County or San Diego or San Fransisco Club has managed to do this ....

True. I frequented a number of Bay Area clubs. That is beyond amazing to last at one venue for that long.
