    YEAR'S EVE PARTYDONOVAN'S TOP TEN "OTHER" AMAZING NEW YEAR'S EVE PARTIES IN SANFRANCISCOFOR YOU TO CONSIDER:We wish nothing but the absolute best for all of our industry friends and peers throwingcompeting parties in San Francisco. We want everyone to win and be successful, becausethat only strengthens San Francisco nightlife. Unfortunately, New Year's Eve is the most"competitive" night of the year where everyone from the largest nightclub to the smallesthotel or restaurant, to almost every friend or family member at their home, is hostingtheir very own New Year's Eve get-together. There is nothing more exciting than a little"friendly competition" which benefits everybody because the "bar has to be raised" to be

    competitive. Everyone is forced to put their best-foot-forward and produce their very bestNew Year's Eve experience in order to be competitive. However, unfortunately, out ofdesparation or fear, there are always some "bad apples" that don't like to "play fair" andpropagate "incorrect information" to hurt their competition. I do not advocate this type ofbehavior or marketing strategy. That is not only bad business, but bad kharma. I believein playing fairly, ethically, and wanting everyone to win.

    However, again, unfortunately, due to New Year's Eve at City Hall being one of thelargest, most high profile New Year's Eve events of the Bay Area, we are under maliciousattack by some of our competitors that are spreading bad information about our event.The point of this email is to simply provide you and your friends with the "correct

    information" about our New Year's Eve event, discredit the "incorrect information" a few"bad apples" in the industry have created and propagated about our party, and empoweryou to make a very "informed" and "educated" decision on which New Year's Eve partyis right for you. After reading my email below, hopefully, you will have clarity whetherNew Year's Eve at City Hall is right for you. Again, we only wish the very best for ourindustry friends and peers (including even those "bad apples") and only want a wonderfuland very successful New Year's Eve for everyone. Without further ado, here are "The 10Most Horrible Things People Are Saying About My New Year's Eve Party":

    PROPAGANDA #1DONOVAN IS "DOUCHE-BAG" AND HIS PARTIES ARE "CHEESY". WHYWOULD YOU WANT TO GOTO ONE OF HIS EVENTS?

    My Correction to the Public:As many people will love to tell you, I am "douche bag", my parties are "cheesy" and notto support me. As much as I am in the public eye and try my best to pour my heart out inmy emails for all of you to know who I truly am, there still appears to be hugemisperception about who I truly am as a person and how I strive with all of my heart andsoul to be a valueable contributing member of San Francisco nightlife and to this city as a

    whole. Over the past 7 years of my promotional career, I have dedicated myself to tryingto bring something "different" and "fresh" to San Francisco that was missing. I knew thatI was going against the grain of San Francisco's "laid-back fashion" culture and "all aboutthe music" culture when I began promoting high-fashion, pretty people parties back in2001 and have been publicly bashed my entire career for trying to offer San Francisco a

    "different" choice out of their city nightlife experience.

    People who don't know me, but only see my pictures and the lifestyle I promote, arequick to judge me as superficial, pretentious, arrogant, conceded, greedy, and unethicalperson. For those "few" people who really know me as either a personal friend or as aprofessional peer who has worked closely with me knows the "real" Donovan who, I liketo believe, is a very profound, very selfless, very confident (yet at the same timeinsecure), very generous, and absolutely, most ethical person they know. Unfortunately,you cannot judge a book by its cover. Over the past 7 years, my mission has always beento support as many local San Francisco artists and businesses as my own business grewand became stronger. However, ironically, the stronger my business became and the more

    people I tried to help in San Francisco along the way, the stronger and more harsh thepublic criticism and public slander I received. I am told by my friends and professionalpeers that this is a good thing and that I'm doing a "something right" if so many peopleare going out of their way to speak so vehemently negatively about me. I can't help butfeel hurt by all this public slander, but my spirit never sways. I try to keep my chin up andkeep marching forward towards my life-long mission: "Make San Francisco the mostdesirable place to live and party in the world."

    I have played a very active role in supporting charity fundraisers for philanthropic groupssuch as Global Green, GEN ART, The Make-A-Wish Foundation, American CancerSociety, Breast Cancer Research Foundation, Destination Foundation, Glide Memorial,Little Kids Rock, Toys for Tots, City of Dreams, Step Into the Beat, The Guardsmen,American Nicaraguan Foundation, and Bill Graham Presents. My DonovanSFpromotional business generates millions of dollars a year for the city of San Francisco'slocal businesses such as hotels, restaurants, theaters, salons, retail stores, nightclubs,bars/lounges, public transportation, and local government. So I like to believe myexistence and contribution to San Francisco is a positive one. However, if after readingthis personal note from me, you still feel I'm a douche bag, and do not wish to supportme, I hope you will reconsider because there are a lot of other wonderful people involvedthat deserve your support.

    REASON #1 & #2:NATE MEZMER & MIKE FITZGERALDNate Mezmer & Mike Fitzgerald are two class-act gentlemen that are the "nextgeneration of San Francisco nightlife" that feel as passionate as I do about making adifference and pushing the envelope for San Francisco nightlife.

    REASON #6:CHRIS CLOUSEOne of our headlining talents, Chris Clouse, who I personally think is one of the mosttalented artists to ever come out of San Francisco, is still, for the most part,"undiscovered" and has "not yet" become a Hollywood discovered "Rolling Stone"celebrity & world-famous musician. Chris has poured his heart out on stages all year forSan Francisco waiting for his "big break". Come see him at New Year's at City Hall soyou can say "I saw Chris Clouse back in the day in San Francisco before he becameCHRIS CLOUSE" If you have never heard or seen Chris Clouse befre, you are missingout.

    REASON #9:SANFORD MARSHAL & SANMAN PRODUCTIONSSanford Marshall and his production company SanMan Productions, is the mainproduction company behind the decor & production elements of New Year's Eve @ CityHall. Sanford Marshall is one of the hardest working, one of the smartest, and mosttalented individuals I have ever worked with in my entire event production career and heis my "secret weapon".

    PROPAGANDA #2THE CROWD AT CITY HALL IS GOING TO BE WHACK! IT'S GOING TO BE ALL"BRIDGE & TUNNEL" AND "AMATEUR NIGHT". WE HAVE THE LOCALS & THE"IN THE KNOW" CROWD AT OUR PARTY!

    My Correction to the Public:Our New Year's Eve at City Hall party has spent $0 on public/mass-market advertising ofour event. All marketing for New Year's Eve at City Hall has been extremely targetedthrough only DONOVAN's exclusive mailing list of Bay Area fashion-foward, sexy,sophisticated hipsters, NATE MEZMER & MIKE FITZGERALD's very targeted upscalemash-up/ hip hop clientele, SOMA MAGAZINE'S very targeted mailing list of highlyeclectic, cultrually-refined, fashion-savvy readers, as well as THE SPINSTERS OF SANFRANCISCO's very targeted list of very affulent, high-society philanthropic socialites.Our only other source of marketing/promotion has been through word of mouth "one onone" communication through Facebook to our personal network of friends. Unlike all ofour major New Year's Eve competitors, we have zero advertising from radiio stationssuch as 92.7FM or newspapers such as SF Weekly, Guardian, Chronicle, or onlinenightlife resources such as SFStation, Nitevibe, Eventvibe, etc. New Year's Eve at CityHall is by far, the most "have to be in the know" New Year's Eve party of San Franciscoand is more "underground" than even the most "underground" New Year's Eve partybeing publicly advertised and promoted on Nitevibe.com. Everyone attending our NewYear's Eve at City Hall event is a friend or friend of a friend of one of the mainorganizers. Although this party will be 3,000 people in size, it will be the largest localparty of friends, family, and familiar faces of any New Year's Eve party in San Francisco.So please don't believe the hype.

    New Year's Eve at City Hall also features for the first-time in San Francisco history, a livefashion show showcasing a "sneak peak" of the Spring 2009 Collections of world-famousdesigners PRADA and DOLCE & GABBANA. What type of crowd do you think a"Milan & Paris" inspired fashion show of the most famous, most expensive, most elegant,

  • 8/14/2019 DJ Donovan is a Douchebag

    6/26

    and most cutting-edge couture fashion designs in the world is going to attract? As youcan easily deduce, due to our high profile fashion show, New Year's Eve at City Hall isattracting the most fashion elite of not only the Bay Area, but jet-setters from all over theworld flying in to attend our party to see this unprecedented fashion show at the very lastNew Year's Eve event ever at San Francisco City Hall.

    Also, due to New Year's Eve at City Hall being 'THE MOST EXPENSIVE TICKET INTOWN", our high cost ticket price will only attract a very cultured, very affluent crowdthat can afford a $150+ ticket price. This ticket price weeds out the "boys" from the "truegentlemen" and weeds out the "girls" from the "ladies". This will be a class act event witha class act crowd. So if you are willing to spend a little more money for a more polished,more refined crowd than anywhere else in town, and if you are looking for that"marriage-material" romantic partner to take home to mom and not just another "onenight stand", than New Year's Eve at City Hall is the place for you.

    PROPAGANDA #3THE CITY HALL PARTY IS WAY OVER PRICED! OUR PARTY IS WAY MOREBANG FOR YOUR BUCK!

    Our Correction to the Public:If you compare per square footage of entertainment/decor/ambience/crowd quality/venuequality/and class & sophistication level, nothing takes even a close 2nd to the $/sq. footvalue you are receiving at our New Year's Eve party. We have spent over $160,000 on theproduction of our New Year's Eve event at City Hall party to deliver the mostbreathtaking, most memorable New Year's Eve experience of your life. We have sparedno expense to deliver the best New Year's Eve production and experience in SanFrancisco. Comparing our event to other New Year's Eve parties in the city is likecomparing apples to oranges. They cannot be compared. It would actually be unfair toour competitors for you to compare our New Year's Eve party to theirs. Don't even try.Either you are looking for the highest quality production, the most gorgeous, most highprofile crowd, and best experience of your life for New Year's or you are looking for "TheBest Deal". New Year's Eve at City Hall is proudly "THE MOST EXPENSIVE TICKETIN TOWN" and for good reason. We are delivering the most elaborate, most expensiveNew Year's Eve production and experience in San Francisco. You are getting way morebang for your buck with every dollar you spend at City Hall than any other New Year'sParty in town.

    New Year's Eve at City Hall is also one of a very few New Year's Eve parties in SanFrancisco that is "charity fundraising" event where a portion of every dollar raised will goto San Francisco based charity CITY OF DREAMS. City of Dreams is a charityorganization who's mission is to help youth living in San Francisco's low-income housingcommunities build brighter futures. Their bold vision is to end the generational poverty

    cycle in our city's most challenged neighborhoods. For more information on CITY OFDREAMS, please visit their website at www.cityofdreams.org. Having a hard timejustifying paying that extra $25 our party costs over all other major parties? A largeporition of this extra money you are contemplating is worth paying or not for New Year'sEve at City Hall actually goes 100% towards you educating and empowering San

    Francisco's underprivileged youths and providing them with a "chance" at a brighterfuture. The people who already bought tickets and are attending our New Year's Eve atCity Hall event are philanthropic people committed to "helping" and making "positivechanges" for San Francisco and The Bay Area and are willing to pay a few exta dollars toshow their love and support to our beautiful city. Are you?

    PROPAGANDA #4CITY HALL IS NOT OPEN BAR! OUR NEW YEAR'S EVE PARTY IS!

    Our Correction to the Public:We advocate a "RESPONSIBLE DRINKING" environment over "OPEN BAR" format toprotect you and your guests' safety as well as to ensure a classy, sophisticated New YearsEve experience for you and your friends. When you purchase a VIP Upgrade Ticket, youwill receive four (4) COMPLIMENTARY top-shelf drinks at the bar. Most people do notwant or need to drink more than 4 cocktails in an entire evening. If someone does wish todrink more, they certainly are entitled to pay for more drinks at the bar, we simply don'tadvocate that. FOR YOU & YOUR FRIENDS' SAFETY, PLEASE DRINKRESPONSIBLY.

    PROPAGANDA #5CITY HALL IS WAY TOO ENORMEOUS! DON'T YOU & YOUR FRIENDS WANTSOMETHING SMALLER & MORE INTIMATE FOR NEW YEAR'S LIKE MYPARTY?

    Our Correction to the Public:Almost every competing New Year's Eve event in the city is at least 600+ in size.

    PROPAGANDA #6YOU ARE GOING TO WAIT AN HOUR OR MORE FOR A DRINK AT CITY HALL!YOU ARE GOING TO GET DRINKS FASTER AT OUR PARTY!

    Our Correction to the Public:Nobody in this business takes more pride in delivering the best customer serviceexperience for my clients than me. After either producing or co-producing 7 large scaleNew Year's events over the past 7 years: Bentley Reserve (See Pics), The EmbarcaderoCenter (See Pics), The Mark Hopkins Hotel (See Pics), IMG (See Pics), Clift Hotel (SeePics), etc. There are very few event organizers in San Francisco who can list a moresuccessful resume of "homerun" New Year's Eve parties with a famous reputation forhigh quality productions and service like mine. Believe me, I made my mistakes in myearly years of producing New Year's Eve events. I had the great misfortune and heartacheof fielding upset emails and phone calls from customers who said I "ruined" their andtheir wives and friends' New Year's Eve because I didn't do this or didn't do that at myevent. Though these many years of trial by fire, no one is more qualified and experiencedat providing the hightest quality of customer service. I am extremely sensitive to the factthat people are paying a lot of money to have the time of their lives at our New Year'sEve party at City Hall. The last thing I want is for any of you to spend a lot of yourspecial night waiting in line to get a drink.

    In order to ensure you and your friends are partying and not waiting in lines, we have"overhired" and "overstaffed" with more bartenders than industry standard to provide youwith the most number of bars and bartenders possible throughout City Hall. We have alsocreated VIP Bar Areas for our VIP Upgrade Ticketholders to give them the convenienceof even quicker service, as well as to alleviate demand and long lines on our generalpublic area bars. Over the past month, I have also spent close to two weeks out in LasVegas doing bottle service at all of the top nightclubs to study their bottle servicemethodoloy and procedures to deliver "Vegas level and above" quality bottle service to

  • 8/14/2019 DJ Donovan is a Douchebag

    9/26

    our guests. My motto is "SERVICE IS KING" and on this special night, I plan to deliverfor my customers.

    So you and your friends can choose to attend another New Year's Eve event with an eventorganizer with much less New Year's Eve production experience or with unproven track

    record. Or you can place "The Most Special Night of the Year" in the hands of the mostfamous, most seasoned expert for producing the highest quality productions and highestquality customer service in all of San Francisco for the past 7 years.

    PROPAGANDA #7IF YOU GO TO CITY HALL, YOU ARE GOING TO BE WAITING FOR HOURSOUTSIDE & SPENDING YOUR MIDNIGHT AT NEW YEAR'S OUTSIDE IN THE

    FREEZING COLD WAITING TO GET INSIDE.

    Our Correction to the Public:Due to the large number of anticipated guests attending our New Year's Eve at City Hall,I have "hired" as consultants past event producers of full-capacity New Year's Eve andHalloween parties at City Hall to teach me all the things they have learned from all oftheir past mistakes in producing large scale events at City Hall. Again, I am very sensitiveto ensuring my customers have the most pleasant, stress free experience on the "The MostSpecial Night of the Year" for them, their friends and loved ones. The last thing I want isyou and your friends waiting even an extra minute outside in the cold and not enjoyingthis extremely expensive production I have invested over $160,000 to ensure you andyour friends have the night of your life. My hard earned money will have gone wastedthen. In order to make your entrance into City Hall as quick, painless, and stress-free aspossible, we have created the most effective "entry system" ever produced for a City Hallevent of this size.

    TWO MAJOR ENTRANCES:VIP/BOTTLE SERVICE WILL CALL ON POLK ST. SIDE;GENERAL ADMISSION TICKETHOLDER WILL CALL ON VAN NESS ST. SIDE

    To alleviate your wait time, we have quadruple-staffed our "Ticket Will Call" andadmission checkpoints, providing for the very first time in City Hall event history,"Ticket Will Call" and ticketholder entrance on the main entrance side on Polk St. for ourBOTTLE SERVICE ticketholders and VIP UPGRADE TICKETHOLDERS whileproviding 'Ticket Will Call" and ticketholder entrance on Van Ness for our GENERALADMISSION TICKETHOLDERS who do not have VIP UPGRADE TICKETS orbought a VIP TABLE.

    PROPAGANDA #8IT'S GOING TO BE IMPOSSIBLE TO PARK OR GET A CAB FROM CITY HALL!YOU WON'T FIND PARKING AND YOU WILL BE STRANDED AFTER THEPARTY! YOU WILL BE ABLE TO GET A CAB MUCH EASIER FROM OUR PARTY.

    Our Correction to the Public:City Hall boasts one of the largest public parking lots underneath the park plaza adjacentto City Hall with parking lot entrance located on McCallister St. In order to ensureparking in this lot, we still do advise you arrive early.

    For those looking for the ultimate VIP experience, we will also be offering "ValetService" on the Polk St. side entrance of City Hall.

    New Year's Eve in San Francisco is notoriously known as the worst night of the year tohail a cab. As for securing a taxi at the end of the night, there is no better, more central"taxi-heavy" region than the City Hall area where your odds of catching a cab are muchhigher. There are no other major restaurants, bars, hotels, or other "major" New Year'sEve parties in close proximity to City Hall where hundreds of other city patrons will bespilling out into the streets, chasing and competing for empty cabs against you. Many ofour New Year's Eve party competitors are in heavy restaurant, bar, hotel, and tourist areaswhere getting a cab will be next to impossible. So your chances of catching a cab at CityHall at the end of the night is much higher than the majority of New Year's Eve party

    competitors. Whichever New Year's Eve party you are seriously evaluating attending,please take into deep consideration their location as to the "reality" of what you are facingif you are depending on a cab ride at the end of the night.

    PROPAGANDA #10IN THIS HORRIBLE ECONOMY, YOU SHOULD NOT BE SPENDING YOURMONEY ON SUCH A FRIVOLOUSLY EXPENSIVE EVENT AS NEW YEAR'S EVEAT CITY HALL!

    Our Correction to the Public:Against popular belief and what much of the mass media propagates to the public, in myopinion, in this economic downturn, the worst thing our country can be doing right nowis hording our money. Businesses in San Francisco, from major corporations to thesmallest of the small "Ma & Pa" shops are counting on your business this New Year's.

    New Year's Eve Day is one of the most lucrative days of the year for San Francisco.Every type of business from hotels, to restaurants, to cafes, to hair salons, to nail shops,to flower shops, to gift and candy stores, to clothing boutiques, to taxi cabs, trolley cars,and muni buses are counting on your business to make 2008 a profitable year. Due to theeconomic downtown, business has slowed in San Francisco and many small business

    owners are facing bankruptcy if their prayers aren't answered. People hording theirmoney out of fear right now of what the future holds and not supporting their fellowmans businesses anymore is creating a vicious cycle of more economic downturn tocome for our country. The answer to our countrys economic problem is a very simpleanswer: People need to spend more money right now than ever because Spending isGiving".

    Just like the government bill that dumped $800 billion to give life back to the real estatemarket, we as citizens need to take it upon ourselves to support our fellow neighbors andsmall business owners by continuing to support their businesses, and by doing so moneywill continue to healthily flow through the marketplace and save people's jobs and save

    people's businesses. San Francisco was originally based on its individuality andsupporting the local "Ma & Pa" shop over the mass-market franchise store. So I ask youto take a different perspective on New Year's Eve this year. Rather than view your choiceto stay home this New Year's Eve to save money and be "smart with your money", Iinvite you to be a "philanthropist" for an evening and treat yourself and that specialsignificant other to an amazing evening in San Francisco that you both will never forget.And by doing so, by staying at a nice hotel, by having a nice dinner somewhere special,by buying your lady a beautiful evening gown or piece of jewelry to wear that evening,and by taking a limousine or taxi to your New Year's Eve party of choice, you now have"given" to dozens of San Francisco local businesses and workers, you have helped savetheir businesses and helped save people's jobs, you have put food on people's tables andhelped give hope and new possibilities to underprivileged children from rough city streetslike Hunter's Point in San Francisco where buying a ticket to our New Year's Eve at CityHall, our charity benefactor "City of Dreams" receives your money to help fund theireducation programs to show and teach underprivileged children a better, much moreempowered life. So do you want to "save" this New Year's Eve or do you want to "give"?The righteous choice is yours.
