SAN FRANCISCO, CA - — 10/05/06 — The 27th annual Exotic Erotic Ball and Expo, the internationally acclaimed Celebration of Flesh, Fetish, and Fantasy, and — according to E!

Blood Centers of the Pacific (BCP), the Bay Area’s blood bank, will get a much-needed boost in its supplies and lucky blood donors will get free tickets to the famous Exotic Erotic Ball through a very special blood drive.
The Exotic Erotic Blood Drive, now in its fourth year, is held in advance of the ball and thanks to these efforts, The Exotic Erotic Ball has helped save the lives of over 500 Bay Area residents from over 20 gallons of blood that have been donated by Ball attendees.
The Blood Centers of the Pacific needs over 500 donations a day to meet the Bay Area blood needs.
Don Burghardt - Director of Donor Recuperations, states, “This is the fourth consecutive year that the Exotic Erotic Ball has been helping save lives in the Bay Area. Many people would not have another Halloween if it weren’t for the Exotic Erotic Ball.”

sorry, couldn’t resist.
Exotic Erotic sucks. and I’m all for giving blood, but gay and bisexual men are **expressly prohibited** from giving blood, under one of the most antiquated, homophobic rules, ever. just click on their donating blood page:
http://www.bloodcenters.org/donating/blood.htm
and you’ll see this rule for donation exclusion:
* You are a man who has had sex with another man since 1977
it kinda fits in with the lameness of the ExErotic ball. sure you could lie about your gayness or bixseuality to give blood — but we shouldn’t have to in San Francisco.
Speaking of blood donation, Stanford has a critical shortage right now, so I am skipping out of work early today to run up to Mountain View to donate.
Thanks, Violet, for bringing up your point. As soon as I read this, I thought about the ban on gay/bisexual men. Ridiculous.
werd: I’m also wondering what this press release is doing as a post on Metblogs. no more press releases, please.
