Random Thoughts: The $100 Tip

Attendance: 85

A dude came last night and had such a good time, he handed our host a $100 tip as he was leaving.

I kid you not.

We've seen insane turnouts this summer, but Friday was an epic party. Blackout tried a brand new spot near Hollywood and had sexy mofos from Detroit, St. Louis, and the Bay Area roll through.

Bruthas walked in and wasted no time gettin it in. These fine-ass dudes with dreds fucked the shit outta some bottoms who really, really wanted it — and knew how to take it.

And for some reason, the bartender has his own little fan club. Dudes were lining up at the bar like they wanted a cocktail, but they actually wanted him. 

Gotta thank err-body for supporting us as we bounce all over LA looking for the perfect spot. 

Admission

A few weeks ago, we discussed a possible price increase to continue providing a safe, comfortable environment and quality liquor. We've decided to do $20 all night, beginning August 3rd. Hopefully, this will not prevent anyone from coming (pun intended).

We sincerely appreciate your understanding.

Keep it low-key just in case we like the spot and wanna come back. Questions? Hit us up on the Blackout line at (323) 577-4220.

Blackout Social Responds to The LA Spot

The following excerpt regarding sex parties using false advertising was posted on The LA Spot website recently:

It can be seen as false advertisement when a party has sexy, ripped brothers on their promotional material, and when you attend the majority of the guys are out of shape! Now, it's really great that some Man-2-Man parties have all shapes and sizes welcomed. And in Los Angeles 'The LA Spot' celebrates other Man-2-Man parties in LA for they fill a void for other physical type of guys.

However, we feel it's important for all of us to be true and upfront about the type of guys that will be attending our party. This way guys are not looking for similar guys displayed on the flyer and see something totally different once they attend.  This hurts us all....

That's about us, y'all. In fact, we peeped The LA Spot's site and found some very unflattering and false statements about Blackout posted by its owner, Sydney ( aka "Flex").

The LA Spot is an all-male sex party located in a 1-bedroom apartment. Their site says it's the "#1 and Longest Running Man-2-Man Play Spot for Sexy, Body Fit, Discreet & Masculine Men of Color Only!"

Indeed.

Whenever we get asked to implement a discretionary door policy based on body, we always resist. Blackout Social was created for ALL black men, regardless of body type. In fact, if someone's looking for a "body party", we refer them to The LA Spot. No harm, no foul.

Using images of physically fit men to advertise our events is not "false" advertising. Blackout pulls plenty of fit mofos, but no one expects every attendee to be ripped. More importantly, we believe sexiness comes in all shapes and sizes.

The LA Spot also says the use of fit male images on flyers "hurts us all". We can't speak for others, but our attendance is at its highest ever and growing.

C'mon, LA Spot, let's not be crabs in a barrel. Let's support and uplift each other, okay? Don't hate...lol

Sydney, we welcome your response. Feel free to comment below, err-body.

"I was there Friday night. All I can say is daaaamn. I’ve been to a number of “parties” in LA and yours remains the best. Nice safe location and the boys get hotter and hotter and the action is by far the hottest. I left very very very satisfied if you know what I mean. Guys not standing around posing but action. It’s so hot. The sight of all that glistening brown is so affirming and damn hot! Can I say hot again! I’d gladly pay $20 to keep it going at such high quality." 

We Need Your Advice

Blackout Social provides an experience for black men that is unequalled in Los Angeles: a clean, safe, comfortable setting in an upscale environment with complimentary top-shelf liquor and attentive hosts. 

Our admission price of $15 before midnight and $20 after has remained the same for 3 years, but to maintain our standards, we're considering $20 all night.

Please let us know your thoughts in the Comments section.

Thank You

You know how much we appreciate your continued support. The whole crew sends a big thanks to err-body who came through last night. (Shout out to our air conditioner!)
