Any word on the party bus to tampa?
 

just checking, starting to make plans

Re: Any word on the party bus to tampa?
 

not enough interest for us to go to the expense. but there are a lot of us attending. talked to carly and they intend on going as well.
ill talk to jay tomorrow ans see if we can coordinate something for the crew.

reminds me I need to book hotel and air.

Re: Any word on the party bus to tampa?
 

I am driving down just so I can spend some extra time with my family and have our car.....I will probably stay somewhere else too, just cause I am el-cheapo these days and $150-200 a room is a bit much for 4 nights

Re: Any word on the party bus to tampa?
 

Yeah, for a bus to make sense, we'd need at least a dozen or so, and I'd also hate to see it be a total sausage fest. Little lack of enthusiasm makes me prefer to just fly down and rent something obnoxious to troll around town in while we're there.

Re: Any word on the party bus to tampa?
 

Well hey, at least you guys still have 10 weeks to round the troops as it were. I appreciate you guys trying. Is there a way to bring attention to Atlanta webmasters, models and adult companies in general on this? There has got to be a few hundred people working in adult in the area I would think but at least a few dozen of whom go to shows or are open to the concept?

Re: Any word on the party bus to tampa?
 

There are a lot of us in the business here but I dont know that there are many that are show aware. I dont know why you guys dont consider Atlanta as a host city. Every AWE or Webmaster access that was held here was very well attended.

Re: Any word on the party bus to tampa?
 

I dont think there are that many to tell you the truth, shows here have done poorly. This is not a mecca for online adult unfortunately. We are going to drive because after the show we are going to miami to shoot.

Re: Any word on the party bus to tampa?
 

Not even close to a few hundred.Webmaster access was considered a failure thats why it will never be here again.

Re: Any word on the party bus to tampa?
 

Only failure I saw here was the fact that it was poorly organized.

Re: Any word on the party bus to tampa?
 

There wasnt that many people there,that was the disappointment and why it was considered a failure.

Re: Any word on the party bus to tampa?
 

As many there as the 3 AWE events held prior.

Re: Any word on the party bus to tampa?
 

thats why those events dont happen anymore either lol there are not 100's of people in atl working in the adult web.maybe a 100 and thats a big maybe.

Re: Any word on the party bus to tampa?
 

When you go to Tampa you will understand what Im talking about.

Re: Any word on the party bus to tampa?
 

You know I love you but what does tampa have to do with atlanta ? lol

Re: Any word on the party bus to tampa?
 

Hey you guys......our rooms are NOT $200 bucks!

Our rooms are $139 - and that is pretty inexpensive for a show!!

You maybe need to reconsider:-)

Re: Any word on the party bus to tampa?
 

reconsider what? every single person in this thread is going to the show :yowsa:

but me being el-cheapo is nothing to reconsider....howard johnson less than a mile away is $49 a night...hehe

Re: Any word on the party bus to tampa?
 

just FYI, the only shows I have been to in the last 5 years that had more than 200 people are internext and AVN

shows are small these days man, and 200 people is usually a HUGE turnout, 100-150 is a decent size

Re: Any word on the party bus to tampa?
 

let's do this too....let's add something up

how many people do each of you all know in the atlanta area that don't attend shows or post on boards?

I personally know 7 people myself, and that is just people i know personally, not counting those that I know "of"

Re: Any word on the party bus to tampa?
 

good luck coming up with a few hundred, its the atlanta myth that its a big adult web town when I bet there are maybe 75 at the most and doing it ft no day job even less.

Re: Any word on the party bus to tampa?
 

You base all this show knowledge off of one show. OPen your mind!

Re: Any word on the party bus to tampa?
 

No Im basing it on working in adult for 6 yrs in atlanta,im not new. Let go of the fantasy lol

Re: Any word on the party bus to tampa?
 

Not sure what shows you're comparing the Atlanta AWE events to, but outside of Internext and Phoenix, it had as many people as most any of the other shows and more than most.

As for how many in adult industry in Atlanta, I too know of 6 off the top of my head who never post on the boards, and I doubt mine overlap with Jaces at all. But who really cares how many are in Atlanta, the thing is Atlanta draws from the entire southeast. It's a good centralized drive or cheap flight from the region.

The real problem with Atlanta is it's just not adult friendly. We're in the bible belt, getting a hotel who will tolerate "our kind" is a challenge. This is also why there is a stealthiness to a lot of people who work in adult in Atlanta. I personally have dropped good sponsors for sending material to our company mailing address that is obviously adult industry in nature based on the company name, etc.

Other problems in Atlanta are things like downtown rolling up the sidewalks at 10PM. If another show were to be done here, it should be in Buckhead, not downtown, that was a huge error IMO on the part of AWE.

Re: Any word on the party bus to tampa?
 

Heh....and I've been bitching that there are no decent suites in that hotel....

I'm a high maintenance bitch.

Re: Any word on the party bus to tampa?
 

Atlanta is very adult friendly loads of strip clubs,jack shacks,swing clubs. Free publications on every street corner with ads for escorts and dommes. The tower records in buckhead sold hard core porn.Thats not a uptight area. Now gwinett is different than fulton county.You knowing 6 people and jace knowing 7 doesnt make a few hundred not even a hundred.
Dont get me wrong I wish all shows were in my backyard but Atlanta is not the place to be to be in the online adult industry.Hotels dont care frolicon which is a swinger bdsm convention has a whole hotel booked.

Re: Any word on the party bus to tampa?
 

I can name 3 dozen in Atlanta off of this board that never post.

And twice that that I have met at shows from Atlanta just from this board alone.

You got to get out more.

Re: Any word on the party bus to tampa?
 

Fulltime adult webmasters I find that hard to believe.

Re: Any word on the party bus to tampa?
 

last few shows I have been to I have been in my room a total of 3-4 hours every 24 hours

hell, redneck getaway a few years back I was in my room maybe 8 hours the entire show....if I didn't pass out on a floor somewhere I would fall asleep by the pool and wake up to someone throwing me in, excellent alarm clock, but not for the easily antagonized

Re: Any word on the party bus to tampa?
 

oh shit, my bad, there is celeste fox and her whole crew of adult people...that has to be 20-30 full timers alone right there, and I know all of them personally

off the top of my head, these are all sites run by full time atlanta webmasters
http://www.pantyhoseplease.com/welcome.html

http://www.celestefox.com/

http://www.whoisnexxxt.com/
http://www.steakandcheese.com
http://www.mikes-xxx-links.com/tgp/

this is just what I can think of that I chat with daily, if I thought hard enough I could easily come up with 10-20 more individuals that were full time in adult in Atlanta

Re: Any word on the party bus to tampa?
 

oh shit, Napoleon and Furious_Female now live here too, they moved a couple of months ago...they full time also

Re: Any word on the party bus to tampa?
 

http://www.ebonypays.com is also based in Atlanta with a number of employees

Re: Any word on the party bus to tampa?
 

Chris and Ryan from www.occash.com are both full time and in Atlanta

Re: Any word on the party bus to tampa?
 

Im not going to name a lot of names [they want to stay lowkey] but I know a LOT of them that do notover lap with yours too. There are a few industry related companies here in Atlanta too.

And you know all of these "models" will tell you they are in the business. Hell I know of one that "produces and edits" videos now that was delivering pizzas a year ago. Of course she didnt have a computer or a camera when I knew her. But she will tell you she is in the business. A couple of clipsfor sale makes qualified.

Thats 100 chicks right there easily verified by 1 model place.
Then if you look at the atlanta webmaster group I have on Xpeeps there are at leat 50 there Ive never heard of as well.

Tony will see a few more scamper out in 2 weeks at Frolicon as well.
Just cuz they dont post as the Zoo or boast about how they can be successful with mixing adult and mainstream revenues doesnt exclude them.

BTW when someone says they mix both streams of revenue you know that means they have a day job.

Re: Any word on the party bus to tampa?
 

well their who is and their 2257 say different

Re: Any word on the party bus to tampa?
 

yeah, there are a few I know for sure that have no interest in advertising what they do, and they are full time, but I don't post their info publicly

there are a LOT of full time adult industry people in Atlanta, the trouble is organizing them all

Re: Any word on the party bus to tampa?
 

There are going to be more than 200 at this show... there is every year.

And if you stay at Howard Johnson... DON'T eat the clams!

Re: Any word on the party bus to tampa?
 

models are a bad example a girl does one shoot and she is in adult, being a working adult model in atlanta is almost impossible thats why they all go to fl .

Re: Any word on the party bus to tampa?
 

ever think there is a reason for that?

Re: Any word on the party bus to tampa?
 

Sickiest I ever got in my life was from hojo fried clams in yonkers ny.

Re: Any word on the party bus to tampa?
 

Fuck HoJo and its clams.
I prefer Mons Venus.

Re: Any word on the party bus to tampa?
 

I am talking with another couple about getting a big room and sharing it

btw, you won't ever see me eating seafood....nasty shit right there

Re: Any word on the party bus to tampa?
 

Well then they are not in compliance, weird for a company with a bunch of employees.

Re: Any word on the party bus to tampa?
 

What big room?

Re: Any word on the party bus to tampa?
 

when I worked at living dolls my boss took me there was that a wild place and girls one hotter than the next with great attitudes.

Re: Any word on the party bus to tampa?
 

Jace you crazy swinger you lol

Re: Any word on the party bus to tampa?
 

I am pretty sure it is 3 people that run ebonypays.com

if they have an office there with someone in it from 9-5 I would imagine that is compliant, right?

Re: Any word on the party bus to tampa?
 

2 beds..LOL
