FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE<\/p>\n

DOUBLE DOWN WITH A PAIR OF KINGS
\nBad Boy Club Of Montreal<\/strong> and The Saint At Large<\/strong> of New York City
\nJoin Forces at The Black & Blue Festival<\/strong>
\nTo Produce
\nThe Military & Leather Balls<\/strong>
\nOctober 7 \u2013 8, 2011<\/p>\n


\nNew York, September 2, 2011 \u2013 Bad Boy Club Of Montreal Foundation (www.bbcm.org), the producers of The Black & Blue Festival<\/strong> (October 5 \u2013 11, 2011), have enlisted The Saint At Large<\/strong> (www.saintatlarge.com<\/a>) producers of the annual Black Party in New York to lend their support to the Leather and Military Balls during the Black and Blue Festival. In honor of the festival\u2019s 21st<\/sup> Anniversary, the 2011 Festival theme is \u201cBlack Jack.\u201d<\/p>\n

A robust AIDS fundraising event since 1991, the festival has been held annually in Montreal over Canada\u2019s Independence Day weekend (October 5 \u2013 11) and encompasses numerous events around the city. Two of the most popular are The Leather Ball and The Military Ball taking place this year on October 7 and 8 respectively to be followed by the weekend\u2019s main event, The Black & Blue Ball on October 9.<\/p>\n

With an unchallenged reputation as the producers of ultimate fetish event, The Black Party\u00ae,<\/strong> The Saint At Large is the perfect partner to produce these two sexually charged gay dance parties. Renowned for its elaborate productions, The Saint At Large will assist BBCM by providing costumes, \u00a0\u00a0visual imagery, video content and various other production elements.\u00a0 Additionally, The Saint At Large \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0will also bring a number of very special guest performers. Stephen Pevner<\/strong>, Producer and Owner of The Saint At Large, Inc. says,<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom our earliest association with BBCM and the Black and Blue Festivall, we continue to be inspired by their artistic integrity and their leadership in raising money and awareness for the AIDS epidemic. It is a privilege to be invited to be their partner for their biggest gay dance events during the festival, THE LEATHER and MILITARY BALLS. Montreal is a city that could certainly appreciate the broader definition of fetish that the BLACK PARTY has infused into the larger gay culture over the past 32 years.\u201d<\/p>\n

While this perfect union is certainly exciting, this is not the first time the two organizations have worked together. Back in the early years of Black & Blue Festival, Bruce Mailman,<\/strong> the impresario behind the The Saint and founder of The Saint At Large, lent valuable support to the new upstart party. Robert Vezina<\/strong>, President of BBCM Foundation recalls:<\/p>\n

\u201cIn 1992, while I was preparing for our second Black & Blue Ball, I decided to explore the New York City gay scene. I innocently dared to approach Bruce Mailman of The Saint At Large to ask him if he would help the Black & Blue Ball by allowing us to send our party invitations to The Saint mailing list; a powerful marketing tool at the time. Bruce told me straight out that The Saint \u201cdid not do that type of thing for anyone!\u201d However, I managed to convince him and when he saw the video footage of the event, he was glad to be involved. Bruce told me at the time that it was the first time ever<\/em> that The Saint had associated itself officially in such a way with a party outside New York. The BBCM Foundation has been grateful ever since for his help, as it definitely put the Black & Blue on the North American gay map back in the 90s! Our special association with The Saint At Large remains a deeply important and much appreciated asset to the Black & Blue in Montreal. We\u2019re thrilled to be working together again.\u201d<\/p>\n

Taking place at Montreal\u2019s enormous Olympic Stadium and drawing more than 10,000 attendees, The Black & Blue Party\u2014the capstone event of The Black & Blue Festival\u2013\u2013remains one of the most elaborately produced and popular annual gay nightlife events in North America.\u00a0 In 2010 it was voted Best International Circuit Party of the Year (Circuit Awards, Just Circuit Magazine) and International Party of the Year (2010 Best Of Edge Awards, Edge Magazine).<\/p>\n
