Sad to hear about the passing of the beloved Saint at Large legend, who lost his battle with cancer on Wednesday.
From a release:
Since 2006, he served as Producer at The Saint at Large, one of New York City’s longest running and most storied nightlife production companies, conceptualizing, coordinating and managing the massive annual gay bacchanal, The Black Party, among other annual events. He assembled a coterie of local artists and promoters to continually reinvent the annual party running since 1980. He was revered throughout the nightlife community for his meticulous attention to detail, humility, and perseverance amidst the most arduous of production challenges. Mike was instrumental in transitioning the organization into a full media company, expanding The Saint at Large brand into art zines, vendor expositions, documentary web series, art films, gallery exhibitions, trunk shows and live concerts. In 2013, the company purchased Montreal’s leading leather fetish brand, Chez Priape, for which he acted as a creative consultant and took the lead in launching BlackPartyCollection.com, an e-commerce site for original fashion and gear inspired by the annual fetish event. Upon his death, he was near completion on a website dedicated to the history of The Saint, the legendary East Village nightclub and namesake of The Saint At Large.
Condolences to all his friends and family.
