I got an email the other day with a tantalizing offer. The Exotic Erotic Ball was having a blood drive, and the first 100 people who came in and donated would get free admission to the Ball.
It's a local-interest story, on a practical level, but unlikely do-gooder things like that usually get people's interest. I remember that nudist park Elysium Fields in Topanga used to have a blood drive every spring and anyone who donated blood could get a free pass to come back to Elysium some other day, and I also remember the big post-Sept. 11 fundraiser that Christi Lake and Serenity threw together at Déjà Vu in North Hollywood that raised several thousand dollars for the Red Cross.
The press release about the blood donation was sparse on the details, so I called Exotic Erotic Ball publicist Cristopher Buttner to get the rest of the story.
"I'm sorry," he told me. "We had a run on the blood bank. We were ready for 100 people to come in and we had to cut it off at 150."
Which means that people who waited even a couple of hours too long didn't get their chance to get a freebie by doing the right thing.
The Exotic Erotic Ball will take place Oct. 25 in San Francisco. Tickets are still available, but only for money now.
