They did have an "official" list... they printed it in the guide book as well - with an insert of other "official" added at the last minute parties....
The FFN Ball was NOT "official" - however they threatened to send over a couple photographers & a writer as well.... (2 little 2 late?)
The XBiz Awards thing is a different story... I heard a rumor around the show that they were iced from the schedule when their newspaper came out. Not sure if that is true or not but nothing XBiz was posted and usually they get great coverage. Join the club. lol
I think there's something to be said however for having an "unofficial" party... screw all the bullshit... Vegas is a big place and we're all grown-ups (at least on THIS board anyway)...
Sucks for those who paid to exhibit just to have a party - fortunately after this last show I think it's obvious that you don't have to have the support/approval of AVN to do something and have it attended by the masses.
