| "The Portland Erotic Ball is always an amazing event and we're so excited to be celebrating our 10th Anniversary," said Joshua Ryan, co-producer. "We sell out year after year, but always have to re-invent ourselves, bring a huge party to the City and make sure everyone has a great time." Ryan's producing partner, Pepe Raphael, founder of the event, added "Every year people plan meticulously weeks in advance how to celebrate themselves in our event and every year Josh and I give them something different, something more to celebrate with. This year we have added more DJs by popular request because people want to dance. And our burlesque acts are the best on the West Coast," Raphael concluded.
Ryan continued, "Look at our partners: The Crystal Ballroom, KINK-FM and Stars Cabaret are very high quality, professional brands. They don't align with just anyone."
"Our partners know that we're going to put on a great event, create an authentic experience and really give our guests a great time," added Raphael.
To help kick-off the event, Portland Erotic Ball promotions teams will be out the entire month of October. Guests are encouraged to "Dress to Thrill" as they are the show at Portland's Biggest Halloween party.
General Admission tickets are $30 in advance and $35 at the door. VIP tickets include hosted bar and departing gifts. Last year the event sold out 1 week before Halloween, so get tickets early as tickets at the door may not be available. Tickets are on sale at the Tan Republic (select locations), Club Sesso, Stars Cabaret, Taboo Video, and at www.portlanderoticball.com. See website for details. Tickets also available at Crystal Ballroom and Ticketmaster after October 5, 2009. |
