Who's going to the Florida show?

[Useless]

I've always read so many complaints about the AVN shows, especially the August one, that I've never attended and probably never will. I am, however going to be at the XBiz show in July.

Don't forget - this year there's no smoking ANYWHERE on hotel property. Period. I almost want to go just to watch the reactions on that

Bah.. you spend a couple hours in your hotel room at best. Rest of the time you are networking at the show and get togethers.

I agree, that's why I hate to spend big bucks on the room.....

Just going by what I heard and there was no smoking on the hotel grounds and that included the pool area. There are a LOT of people changing hotels because of that, so if you know different, this would be a good time to make it public on all the boards

What, Peaches giving out misinformation? Let me guess, XBiz paid you to say that, right?

Smoking is not permitted in the rooms or inside the hotel, which is the way it is anywhere in Florida. Smokers will be able to smoke outside of the hotel by the pool or the outside lounge area, however.

I was going to say something about that....you just can't smoke INSIDE the hotel....anywhere outside is fine though from what I hear

That's not totally correct either. There will be designated outdoor smoking areas. All other outdoor areas on hotel property will also be non-smoking.

let me find avn's statement on this, cause avn said they had a specific arrangement with the hotel to allow smoking in almost all outdoor areas

Yes, and the areas I've mentioned will be designated smoking areas. I assure you that AVN has made it clear that we have plenty of smoking webmasters (I smoke cigars) and we'll be given some leeway.
