Some thoughts on Vegas

[gonzo]

Heres the bottom line after 10 days inclusive of AEE.

AEE exhibitors were totally full BUT there was all shorts of bullshit on the main floor including 2 teeth whitening booths , a bong display , some golf bullshit and now the fake church people on the floor scamming for prayer donations.

I have pics but I havent loaded them up yet.

The ATTENDEES were a bit off from last year and the room of dildos downstairs is now infested with the B2B room with programs and Ynot even had a table.

It was a good show for me on many levels... then we move to Internext.

The Palms was consistant... consistantly clueless when it came to no service.

Many people were bumped to another hotel due to overbooking. I even saw the "mighty"12clicks screaming for a room but then again that was the last I saw of him.

The rooms there were nice. I stayed in the other tower in the Oprano suite away from all the cool kids. The Kingpin Suite that AEBN had was a solid investment.

I wouldnt be so happy if I were in any of the other ones.

John Albright...why did you rent the celebrity suite only to have it locked down even thru the open house?

As a client I was disappointed not to be able to speak with you in private about the past security issues. I did find it curious that when I did see you that you were hobnobbing with Corvette from CCBill.

The show floor? If you can call it that. Couches in a nightclub scattered around isnt what I would call a show floor. However they needed to try something new.

What did work was a pure networking format. It worked well for those of us that chose to use it for what it was.

The seminars sucked pure ass. Ive never seen so much misinformation spread out like shit on a cracker for uninformed people to gobble up.

Hey Top Bucks... are you really that clueless about whats going with VOD to recommend that everyone convert all their video content over to FLASH? Aint no spin on this one. I listened to your girl preach that shit thru an entire seminar.

And if you think your going to Vegas on the cheap for either of these shows... not unless you walk to every venue, eat and stay at the imperial palace.

This show has become expensive.

Even had me considering becoming a dinner whore for a minute.

Bottom line if your looking to expose yourself to consumers AEE is a solid investment...if your looking to do some networking with people you might only see once a year then the new Internext format could work out for you.
