Its like a ghost town around here ... and when they all get back it will be story after story about san diego that those of us who didn't attend just won't get :rolleyes:

So, who is left?! who didn't go to Cybernet Expo?


Note to lurkers: Opranauts are much nicer in smaller groups
:groucho:

I'm not there... I don't do the shows anymore, been to 1 and that was enough for me...

:D

are you based in the UK? do you not even go to local shows?

i definately got show overload by the 4th year of several shows per year :rolleyes:

I am not in Sandy Fucking Eggo........... I am right fucking here !!!

Waiting for the unplugging of Oprano............ :(

im officially un-lurking cj :gbounce:

Drew!!!!
Welcome spunky ;-)

Sarettah, i'm sure we'll stay open long enough to hear about san diego happenings :rolleyes:

Don't go to shows anymore. I am not in the wholesale business, so there is nothing there for me. I don't buy what fuckingnastyplatinumgoldenpimpindollars pitch. I don't sell, buy, or move traffic. So there is nothing there for me because I am not a customer. I've been to a couple and got nothing but hard sell and ersatz bling. You know, another young guy in a leased ferarri of some sort with a license plate that says PornDude or something with a Philly roll in his pocket. So I just do what I do and do it well. I find that staying out of the multi level marketing loop is very good for business. Not that there is anything wrong with traffic guys, we all got to earn a living, but I only work for myself in a more traditional kind of way. Every time I have tried "buying in" traffic it fails and I have no need to sell my traffic, I would rather keep it. TGPs are a total waste of time unless you are running them. Content trading shoots are a pain in the ass. I would rather just pay models and send them home. More productive than these gang bang shoots that everyone goes for. So apart from partying till you puke, what else is there? Hell I can stay home and do that with my friends.
Now if there was ever a convention organized for folks like me, I would be there in a shot. I usually meet a couple when I have been to these things and we talk about our issues. Maybe its a hole in the market.
Too many conventions anyway. If I want to party in a Limo, I just go out and rent it.

I'm not there, first one of Fay's shows I have missed, because of commitments at school. I still haven't figured out how to be in two places at the same time.

Alex

Didn't go. Getting lots of work done and I won't feel like crap next week.

I am here : (

I didnt make it, I'm leaving Friday for the coast of south carolina for some much needed fun,sun, and some fishing.
I can't wait :rokk:

I am also back at the ranch, holding down the fort, etc... B)

I'll be in around lunch tomorrow :) Hoping to see some of you then!!

Cheers,

Brad

At least knowing that vooman is back home I dont have to worry about taking his picture : )

i didnt go -

i only like going when i can make it an excuse for vacation :)

vegas and miami is enough for me. i hear san diego is beautiful, but still doesn't have the appeal vegas and miami have for me...

I'm not a big traveller. Some times out of choice, and some other time not.

Ghost town my ass. :moon:

ya just had to rub it in didn't ya :rolleyes:
this is the NON san diego thread :P

I hear San Diego is amazing. It is high on my list of have to see cities. One of these days.

It is a nice city, but smoggy ... and the weather is always wierd when i'm there
I've driven there a few times from LA just to get the whole experience ... I should always drive there, once I flew .... our plane couldn't land so we had to land in LA and get bussed into San Diego (at 4am)

the security in San Diego after 9.11 was scarier than most other cities ... lots of soldiers with guns!!

We're all here 'cause we're not all there

san diego is too far away for me

i'm not all here

oh puhlease :rolleyes:
too far my ass!!!!!

umm.. yeah u'r right :)

oh puhlease :rolleyes:
too far my ass!!!!![/b][/quote]
cj,
please tell us MORE about your ass,
you got MY ears perked
;_)))

I'm around. Too much work to do to go for the entire week, and that's too long of a plane ride to make it worthwhile to just zip out for a couple of days.

I might jump in GonZo's pocket with CJ for a bit. And if the pocket is rockin', dont be knockin'!

I'm not there either.
Due to my current living situations that mother nature did.

I have other things to take care of.

I don't know if I'll be able to attend any of them this year now.

I am in San Diego..... the Hyatt is a dump, the staff has been rude, and rooms are pretty shitty.

We wre promsied high speed, and there is none - I am posting this from the lobby. I do not understand how you can throw an internet convention without having high speed access in the rooms of the attendants AND SPONSORS!!

Other then that it is good to see a lot of people. I will try to get some photos up later ( when I get back to the lobby)

It is pretty nipply here in SD. Hope Gonzo will keep me warm!

HP, not sure if there's enough room in here for all of us .... good thing he wears big pants!!!! :biglaugh:

and mike, your complaints about the cold will be totally ignored because SOME of us are experiencing actual cold!!!!! :P

Serge, there's not *much* left to tell :biglaugh:

I´m not San Diego - new investment keeping me more than busy, but should be paying off once it has been optimized :)

are you a 420 fan? :D

In case you all were wondering, I am still not in San Diego...

Hey man, so some cocktails are on me for sure in florida. Deal?

Rolo, just think how much you'd be wasting if you were there! you made a fortune just by staying home! :yowsa:



I haven't heard from Gonzo since he was stranded at the airport ... San Diego is either *really* fun or *really* fucked :unsure:


On a local note, I just got accused of KP by a GFY webmaster for my Olsens tour :rolleyes:

Thanks, Voo! I was becoming concerned, bro.

A GFY webmaster. Shocking! Who could have predicted that one?

I wonder, if anyone will get their bar tab ruined by the sigwhore crowed.... or is that just a Internext thing?

i thought high school was out for the summer:)

cj.. i think it moved, nice tour;)


I will go to a show every now and then just to see old friends. There are too many of them, and i prefer to deal with people i have dealt with in the past. New customers are always welcome, but the shows do not offer anything new that cannot be encountered in more efficient ways. Plus things here in New Orleans are going like a well oiled machine, with lots to focus on for the future.

Seeing old friends is great, i just stick with them, make my lap of the showroom floor and relax. Maybe i go to one a year. I don;t get to see certain people enough, thats the only down side.

-Matt

Note to self..

Get Matt to go to Florida

Yeah I'm in the UK, I was going to try and make it down South for Richard and Jerremy's UK webmasters get together but then I realised I hate London ;-) :lol:

Did Vegas in 2000 and thought it was good but just not my cup of tea...

My boss asked if I wanted to go, but I didn't want to take the time out of packing this late in the game. We move in three weeks so it's better to spend the time doing what I need to do. Don't need to put myself further behind.

Actually, I'm really surprised, less people went to San Diego than I thought would.

hahaah good luck with that
