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.

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.
