Hello! You say the statue unveiling was the "largest Satanic event in history", but I've covered media events in LA and back on 6/6/6 the Church of Satan held several public events that were on a similar scale. For example, their media arm, Radio Free Satan, held a sold-out "Satan's Rockin' 666 Eve" event which had between 700 to 800 attendees. Here are my sources: Time Magazine promo, LA Times, Warren Ellis on the event. Stanton LaVey, who at the time was affiliated with the Church of Satan, also held an event which included Danzig and Alkaline Trio, which sold out their venue and topped 800 attendees. Promo Source. This is not including the sold-out private event for the Church of Satan's own 666 Satanic High Mass and their recent Year 50 Conclave, both were invite only but peaked at several hundred verified Church of Satan members.

How did you come to the conclusion that the unveiling was the largest Satanic event in history? Were you aware of these other large scale events?

Wait, you just said you had approx. 666-700 "sold souls", and you needed to sell your soul to attend. Your press release to Time also states 700 attendees. Sorry, now you're saying it's closer to 800? Photos of the event and this kind of shadiness make these claims suspect.
