LALate Names Best of LA Halloween Awards, 2004

LA's Top Nightlife Site Names best VIP Parties this Halloween Season

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA. OCTOBER 26, 2004.

Spider Room and El Centro take top nods as LALate today named its 2004 Best of LA Halloween Awards for top parties this week in the Southland.

LALate is one of the nation's most successful clubgoing sites. In Los Angeles alone, LALate.com has the largest following of clubgoers in Southern California history, carrying nearly six dozen vip parties per week in Los Angeles and carrying exclusive guestlists at venues like Forbidden City, Sunset Room, Vertigos, and Pearl. Branches of LALate.com include divisions for teens (TeenLate.com), New York (******.com) and its soon to launch Miami edition (MiamiLate.com.)

LALate took into account several factors and broke them down based upon categories. LALate fielded several dozen choices in making its picks. "Overall, clubgoers want parties that are economical at A+ venues with a hot crowd", reported LALate.com.

Winner - Best Overall Party

Sunday @ Spider Room, guestlist

If you want the hottest venue currently, this is your pick and it's on Halloween (Sunday). This venue literally has clubgoers telling LALate to put them on the guestlist every Wednesday for the entire month, in advance. LALate carries it Wednesdays and now, for the first time, is available for Halloween. LALate has the lowdown on this party that's $20 for everyone else but gets a special $10 guestlist with LALate before 11 pm. The music will be featuring Demi (Deeper Substance) - Nominated for best breakthrough DJ in both Pacha's Awards in Ibiza and House Music Awards in London. This wins our top overall pick for a super, super price at LA's top hot spot most asked currently by clubgoers.

Winner - Best Saturday Party

Planet Shark's Bash @ El Centro, guestlist

In a year when industries proved spending less sometimes gets you more (like the Chrysler 300 for $23K that beats a Mercedes for $40K), we opted for a guestlist only bash at a Hollywood Hot spot for only $5! This bash gives you the most bang for your buck. For only a mere $5 Shark brings you an open bar party (9 to 10) of Vodka and El Centro (guestlist closes at 10 pm) and a $2,000 cash and prizes costume contest. This wins our top Saturday pick because it's a super price, with free drinks, and a fun venue.

Winner - Best Costume Party, presale

Saturday @ Cinespace & Ivar.

For the first time ever two clubs are turned into one for a $35 presale ticket night, 8 to 3 am, from the megapromoter whose past Halloween bashes brings in hot people whose costumes are even hotter. The $35 is pricey but the venues combined makes it worth it if you love Cinespace and Ivar. This wins our top pick if you are looking for a venue with people in super costumes - these people go all out.

Winner - Best Music Party, presale

Sunday - Armin Van Buuren @ the Factory

The Top DJ in the world returns to LA for the second time, at least, this fall and LALate has the lowdown, $20 presale tickets, a steal, to see this DJ. Location will be impossible to get to due to traffic so plan ahead of time.

Honorable Mention - Good Life Thursday (great house music).
