MENLO PARK, Calif. (AP) — They may sport love handles and Ivy League degrees, but every two weeks some Silicon Valley techies turn into vicious street brawlers in a real-life, underground fight club. Kicking, punching and swinging every household object imaginable — from frying pans and tennis rackets to pillowcases stuffed with soda cans — they beat each other mercilessly in a garage in this bedroom community south of San Francisco.
Michelle Groskopf (Producer/Director) has produced and directed non-fiction films for over 10 years.
The message rang out on Facebook early on Jan. 28. Those in the know immediately understood its meaning. One of the few public tip-offs that the underground fights would take place that night, it was quickly deleted by the downtown “It” girl who had posted it, likely at the behest of Friday Night Throwdown’s shadowy promoters.
