hold up, now I am lost

Intenext is ALL INCLUSIVE? that means once we get there all food and drinks are included in the price for the whole weekend?....room service, restaurant, parties, etc?

I was not aware of this...I am actually considering going now

hey now, he/she said it, not me....all inclusive means all inclusive....and while you may have everything for you all paid by sponsors, some of us will have to spend a LOT of money out of our own pockets to attend any AVN show, and frankly the amount of money compared to what we get out of it just doesn't seem worth it anymore

I said it earlier... your results may vary.

I consider each of these shows carefully before I bother. Im not there for the parties or to hang out with the "cool kids" so its an investment for me.

Last year with the hotel being closed to the public was pretty good. A lot of us speculated that it might end up bad but even with everything being a paid advertisement including the toilet paper.... it ended up good.

In years past and at that show in particular someone must tell all the locals that the porners are coming to town. The only thing that was bad about it was that it made it harder to find someone dealing coke than it was in the past. [joke]

But you could find all the hookers around the pool at night wearing a "guest" pass. [not a joke]

Its a business investment. If you dont see any return in going and your not keen on the parties then my advice is to skip it.

There are still rooms left at the Westin though.
I booked mine today.

The way I see it though, is there are way too many shows these days to justify such an expense. I love the parties, yes, but I am there to network with people that I can do business with....and while someone pointed out earlier, a lot of big dogs and program owners attend internext, I know most of them from online....so meeting them face to face isn't that big of a deal to me....because I am already dealing with most of them.

The only real excuse I would have for going is to introduce Tabitha to more people and maybe gain 3 or 4 more affiliates, but then she would get more annoyed with the whole setup than anything....she is a very private girl, and for the most part very quiet....and I just think florida would be way too much for her.....not to mention, in the end, if we didn't walk away from it with a recoup of our expenses from some deal that was made, she would be awfully upset.

plus, we are going to LA to work a couple of weeks before that, so 2 trips in one month would not be fun at all for our homebody asses.

so, yeah, you are right, I need to look at it like an investment, and I just don't see any return on that investment for this particular show....we already have a couple of other shows on the schedule though, particularly ones that won't rape us for cost before we even get there....we ain't broke, but we are cheap as fuck...haha

[JoesHO]

We will be there in full force, and have a corner suite, so anyone wanting to do deals let me know .

we may even opput a little somethn somethin on for our good friends for the late night crowd.

Joe

No, let me clarify. The property is reserved for the show only. There will be free brunch each full day of the show. There will also be several sponsored parties and dinners. All the free food and drink you want will not be included. For example, if you order room service, you have to pay for it.
All inclusive as a resort where you pay one price and get everything free - no. All inclusive as an event, where it's only attendees and the property is closed off - yes. There will be a multitude of opportunities to eat and drink free, if that is a concern, however.

I may put in an appearance, although I honestly have gotten pretty tired of shows and have dropped out of the mill. I have nothing booked, if I do it, the whole deal will be last minute.

hello to all the Oprano people. You can stop being amazed, I'm outta here again for a few months.
