Exotic Erotic Ball to Showcase Spike and Mike's Sick and Twisted Festival

The Exotic Erotic Ball & Expo has announced that its 30th Annual show will feature the all-time sickest and twisted-est animated short films from Spike and Mike's Sick and Twisted Festival of Animation. This marks the second collaboration between the two legendary events.

The Exotic Erotic Ball and Expo will celebrate its 30th Anniversary on October 23 and 24 at the Cow Palace in San Francisco. The special showing of Spike and Mike's Sick and Twisted Festival of Animation will take place twice on October 23, and three times on October 24. Spike himself will be on hand for one of those showings to provide insightful commentary and field questions. Exact times of the showings are to be announced shortly.

"We're honored to again feature Spike and Mike's Sick and Twisted Festival of Animation," says Ball founder Perry Mann. "We love to present high quality entertainment that is irreverent and cutting edge. You can't beat Spike and Mike for that."

The Spike and Mike festival is credited with screening the early work of then unknown animators including Mike Judge of Beavis and Butthead fame, and Tim Burton. Robin Williams has been quoted as saying "Spike and Mike is like Disney with t*ts." South Park co-creators, Matt Stone and Trey Parker have said "Spike and Mike are to animation what salad dressing is to sex." And even George Lucas says, "Spike and Mike's Festival of Animation is fun, irreverent, and one-of-a-kind."

The Exotic Erotic Ball has been called "The World's #1 Wildest and Sexiest Party" by E! Entertainment TV, the "#1 Adult Festival in the World," by AskMen.com, "The #1 Party Event on the Planet" by HDTV, "The Greatest Costume Party of All Time" by KTLA, and one of the "69 Sexiest Things to Do Before You Die," by Playboy TV. The Ball's 21 and over, sexually liberated crowd allows Spike to push the envelope and show off some of the sexier and more outrageous shorts that might not be appropriate for just any audience.

The Exotic Erotic Expo opens Friday October 23 from 4:00 p.m. until Midnight, and Saturday from Noon to 6:00 p.m. The Exotic Erotic Ball runs Saturday from 8:00 p.m. until 2:00 a.m.

Spike and Mike's Sick and Twisted Festival of Animation will be featured during both Expo and Ball hours.
