I promoted at several of Hollywood’s hottest clubs during a period of unemployment, mainly to see what all of the fuss was about. While it was fun and definitely had its perks, it also confirmed quite a few of the suspicions and stereotypes I’d previously held about how the industry works.
Happy Early Birthday! Sounds like it's going to be a sloppy night.
If you park your car anywhere in Hollywood on a typical night, you'll come back to your car covered in flyers for clubs, many of which will offer discounted entrance. Otherwise, find an awful promoter and he'll offer you the same.
Networking usually. For the good ones at least. I've see bar/clubs post on craigslist for promoters. I imagine those places have metal detectors at the door.
Email flyers are popular. Hard flyers left on car windshields is another popular one amongst crappy clubs. My car looks like it's been through a parade with all the crap on it after a night in a hollywood parking lot.
It helps. The best DJ's have agents. Otherwise it's a bunch of networking and trying to get your music heard

If by party you mean do drugs, it depends. It's hard to stay up that late without some chemical assitance but most promoters stop at Red Bull or Adderral.
If you mean party...like go out. Yeah that's the job.
Question cont'd - "Couple other good looking guys who are motivated as I am to really just bring in these hoes. I need to make a team. Me and 2 or 3 other guys and thats the hardest part."
Thank you, Sir.
You've got two options. One is focus on building relationships with girls and once you have enough, jumping ship to join up with a better promoter. They'll find you if they see you with attractive girls. The second option is meeting good looking club regulars and convincing them to promote with you. I'd say option one is the slightly easier option if you can prevent your new buddy from trying to steal your girls.
These hoes ain't loyal
