? History of Anon Salon:

Anon Salon, over the course of its 15-year existence, has helped
redefine West Coast event production by producing hundreds of unique
theme parties, theatre festivals, art shows and even street fairs for
Burning Man fans in both San Francisco and Los Angeles. The company
was born out of San Francisco?s alternative art and performance scene
of the 1980?s. From the beginning, they helped shape an ever-growing
community of multi-media artists and event producers into a network of
non-commercial, unadvertised, one-off events and large public
gatherings. Unlike conventional concert, club or theatrical events,
these one-off gatherings were specialized one-of-a-kind theme
party/events. Production laden and technologically cutting edge, they
included not-only music, but also performance artists, installations,
lighting and video artists, theatrics and unique décor, that quickly
began to attract an audience that brought their own ideas to the mix.
The evolution of their party spectacles has always reflected the
changing face of the creative community. As their website asserts,
"Anon Salon teases technology, embraces the arts, and flirts with the
unknown. ? It celebrates all that's eclectic and electric in art,
design, and media providing a place to grab new ideas before
business-as-usual turns them into formulas.?

Anon founders, Joegh Bullock and Marcia Crosby have been central to San
Francisco's alternative and underground art scene since the late
1970's. Besides Anon Salon, their endeavors include the GlasHaus
parties of the mid-1980's, Icon Byte Bar and Grill (the first Internet
bar and cafe in SF), the award-winning Climate Theatre, and the world
famous Solo Mio performance festival. More recently, Bullock has
co-created and co-produced San Francisco-based Burning Man Festival
parties such as Flambé Lounge and the Decompression Heat the Street
Faire.

In the early 1990's, they joined forces with then actor/director Mark
Petrakis, known as ?Spoonman? (from his popular alternative vaudeville
revues called ?Cobra Lounge?). An early web developer, already a part
of the burgeoning technology scene, Petrakis was also responsible for
Telecircus.com, a 1994 San Francisco arts community website that
provided the first web presence for Burning Man, the Residents,
Clubfoot Orchestra and many others.

Artist, event producer and social provocateur, Mark Bava from the
Monterey and San Francisco Bay Area entered the mix further bringing
together audiences from communities from Humboldt to San Diego. Los
Angeles residents have been familiar with Bava for the past few years
as co-owner of Little Pedro?s Blue Bongo bar and nightclub in downtown
LA?s Artist District. He is also one of the founders of the LA Burning
Man Decompression Street Fair, and Oracle Millennium.

LA partner and co-producer, Stephen Samojeden is an east coast
transplant who got his start in event productions in Colorado in the
early Nineties. Working with friends, he helped create Sol
Productions, which grew to be one of the largest event production
companies in the state. More recently he has helped create dozens of
alternative art events in the Santa Barbara, Ventura and Los Angeles
areas, including the yearly Los Angeles Burning Man Decompression
Street Fairs.

Since its debut on NYE 2000, Anon Salon?s ?Sea of Dreams? event has
been known as the must-see event for the in-the-know ?cultural
creatives,? attracting over 3,000 attendees each year to the sold out
San Francisco events and last year?s first LA event.

This New Year?s Eve, the Anon Salon team will once again combine their
talents and experience in the raising of ?Cirk-O-Six.?

? The Los Angeles Theatre:

The Los Angeles Theatre is one of the most beautiful Movie Palaces in
America, and this is a rare opportunity to revel in the glory of early
Los Angeles.

The historic Los Angeles Theatre was the last and most extravagant of
the ornate movie palaces built on Broadway in downtown Los Angeles
between 1911 and 1931. Designed by architect S. Charles Lee with a
French Baroque-inspired décor, its majestic six-story main lobby and
2,000 seat auditorium of carved plaster ornamentation, mirrors, and
cove-lit murals recall the glamorous days of 1930s Hollywood.

In January 1931, Charlie Chaplin held the premiere of his City Lights
at the theatre as its debut event. It is said that Chaplin invested
his own money to finish the theatre in time for his film's premiere.
Opening night was a glittering affair, with Chaplin in attendance,
scores of dignitaries, and even Albert Einstein. Outside, a crowd
estimated at over 25,000 thronged Broadway to get a glimpse of the
celebrities. The Depression brought a tinge of irony to this
celebration of sumptuous luxury, as part of the crowd outside waited in
a bread line across the street.

No expense was spared in the decor of the Los Angeles, which included
crystal chandeliers, marble, gold leaf, silk damask wall coverings,
walnut paneling and an extraordinary fountain of marble and crystal in
the upper lobby. The main lobby of the theatre, with its soaring
50-foot ceiling, chandeliers and grand staircase, was a welcome
departure from earlier cramped theatre lobbies. It was Lee's plan that
the main lobby and basement lounges together could accommodate a group
of 2,000 people waiting for the next showing.

Lee designed the theatre with many special features for the comfort and
delight of patrons, including a children's playroom; a refreshment room
with a soda fountain; two 'crying rooms' on the mezzanine level: where
mothers and their infants could watch the show in a glassed-in booth
with its own speaker, air conditioning controls and a rest room, and
much more including the most technologically advanced lighting, sound,
projection, PA, and neon-seating-lighting of its day.

In recent decades it has become a unique location for filming and
video. It has been used in several feature films, including New York,
New York, Jim Carrey?s Man on the Moon, Chaplin, Charlie?s Angels II,
and recently Cinderella Man. As Downtown finds a renewal of energy and
life, driven by the recent influx of new residents inhabiting the old
buildings and lofts of the downtown historic district, the Los Angeles
Theatre looks forward to opening its doors to a new century of theatre
goers.
