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.

I have no problems with people doing parties outside the events at all but they shouldn't expect to get free advertising for doing so. Maybe other webmaster events would allow it, but I doubt it. What incentive does ANY event organizer, whether it be AVN and Internext, Cybernet, the Phoenix forum, etc, to recognize companies that want all the benfits of doing the organizing of the event as those people do but without supporting their efforts to organize it. It's a shitload of work to be sure, and you want to support those who will support and help you in your efforts. Those companies would be getting free advertising. Great for them but not great for those who paid to help support the show or the company that put it all together.
