The Dec 12, 1980 edition featured a review of the Red Party by Allen White headlined: Red Party: Big on Color, Low on Cash.

It described the controversial red flag display, the Foggy City Squares, the Barbary Coast Cloggers, and the Falcon Ballet Theater. White wrote:

• Dancing is what the people wanted and the groups filled the bill.

• Around the midnight hour the Sisters pulled themselves together to present their home-grown group. They call themselves "Mary Media & the Cass-ettes." They sang "Guilty." It was during their peformance that drink ticket seller Mark Brown was informed that the rush for drinks had bled the beer supply dry.

  Following the Cass-ettes there were apprarances by Automatic Pilot and The Hostages. Both bands were more for listening than for dancing.
