Club Pick: Bondage Ball at Echoplex, Oct. 31

I think we can all agree that Hollywood is a city tailor-made for Halloween.

Whether it's a colorful trail of costumed kooks, boisterous exhibitionists or creepy street performers hawking their side show talents, nights in the underbelly of "Tinsel Town" can be scary. So can anyone imagine what some of these people do when Halloween actually comes around? The answer:Bondage Ball.

This ain't your grandma's Halloween party (and if it is, pray to God you never find out about it).

As part of a three-night foray into the wide world of whips and chains, L.A. erotic retailer The Pleasure Chest will transform The Echoplex into a haven for extremely sexual Halloween fun. From 9p.m.- 2 a.m., indulge your darkest fantasies in any of the three "fully equipped play zones", or catch leather clad exhibitions and fashion shows on the main stage. And if that's not enough, it's probably the only party in town where the VIP lounge comes with dungeon furniture.
