History of Pimp N’ Ho Ball in Cabo San Lucas Baja, Mexico

Brian Balsley, the owner of Pazzo’s (at the time) and manager Brad Baer came up the idea of throwing and setting up the first Pimp n Ho Ball in Cabo in a matter of 3 days according to Brian. Brad knew about the party from the states as Brian explained “I didn’t know what they were talking about at first”. They had a customer friend that had a D.J. with his vinyl (yes that long ago) in town and he agreed to play for free beer and pizza. It was a hit even on such a short notice so they knew they had something.

Cabo San Lucas Pimp n Ho Costume Ball!

Some ho's at the BallThe following year, 1999 they promoted the first annual Pimp N Ho Ball in Cabo San Lucas and it has continued to grow every year. Brian says “Every year since, the party just keeps growing with people planning their vacations around it and getting their costumes together a year in advance”. In 2003 Brian sold Pazzos Pizza and in 2004 brought in a partner and friend Brent Underdahl to really get serious about the Pimp n Ho Ball for all of Mexico.

Damian Saunders was the actual originator of the Pimp n Ho Ball according to an interview I found on the Internet claimed it evolved from a theme party he started 14 years ago in Huntington Beach, Orange County, California. Then John Huntington of Hart and Huntington Tattoos also now in Cabo and Damian moved it to Vegas after a few years and it has grown into a crowd of 10,000 as of 2006. I guess Cabo has a little catching up to do and it sure seems that it is on its way to doing just that. 
 
Some of the Pimps and Ho'sBrian now has the “Pimp n Ho Ball”, name trademarked for Mexico and Europe. He says it takes about 7 months of preparation for the one night “Best party in Baja”. He is planning on another one in Cancun presently and is working with the promotion company,Noche Magazine to market the Pimp n Ho Ball as a turn key package to those nightclubs in Mexico and Europe that would like to have one of their own. 

In 2008 they had 1900 Pimps n Ho’s and this year they are expecting even more. Also you may want to get to the Pimp n Ho early as Brian said last year “there were 100 people in line before they opened the doors at 9:00pm”
