LOS ANGELES, Sept. 12, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Spider Club in Hollywood is hosting The Hookup's speed dating event on September 17. The event, known as "VIP Saturday," shows the increasing popularity of speed dating as well as it being welcomed into a growing number of exclusive and high-profile establishments such as Spider Club.
"Our partnership with The Hookup makes perfect sense. We know they bring a great and fun crowd that fits in nicely at the hotspots we promote at. It's really a win-win situation," said renowned L.A. club promoter Jamie Barren of Jamie Barren Presents.
The Hookup is blazing the trail in speed dating by exclusively offering the hippest and most exciting venues in the Los Angeles area. Spider Club often attracts the most famous in Hollywood and was selected as one of Conde Nast Traveler's Best Hotspots in 2004. The Hookup is also gaining new connections with other popular venues in the LA area. The Hookup will hold a speed dating event followed by its two-year anniversary party at the newly renovated Friars of Beverly Hills in October.
"We are glad that we are able to work with Spider Club and The Friars of Beverly Hills for The Hookup events. We know that this is due in part to the quality of the attendees at our events -- we are known to get some of the best singles in the city because we do it `LA style,' with hip restaurants, and hot clubs. Our events are designed for today's professionals who want to find other quality singles and enjoy the best nightspots that Los Angeles has to offer," said Ivy Johnson, co-founder of The Hookup.
Founded in 2003, The Hookup aims to be the hippest speed dating event provider in Los Angeles. Appealing to today's professional who doesn't have time to go on long dates, participants have up to 15 four-minute dates in a safe, fun, and comfortable environment within the hottest nightclubs, bars, and restaurants found in Los Angeles.
