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

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

[brand0n]

Ill be there.

[Josh Winters]

the show is good for a day or so of networking. try to hit a couple of the parties too.

exhibiting there can be a big waste. the las vegas show is much better.

Thats not been my experience. I usually get far more networking done in Florida and less in Vegas.

I would imagine exhibiting at any show is a waste for a host.

Vegas and Florida are hell-ish places to have summer shows. I'd love to see something in the Northwest or in mountains somewhere in summer and leave the southern-most shows for winter.

[LadyMischief]

I do believe I will be making an appearance this year.

It's hot in lots of places in the summer. I was talking to a client that lives in Canada yesterday and he said it was 95 and the humidity was very high. It was cooler than that in Orlando yesterday.

Did you get a new hairdo?
Or does it still look like Krusty the Clown?

[Lawrence Connor]

that silly hairdo at the pornstaru show never was "my hairdo"
they had me done that way as they wanted just for that show
that's about as ridiculous as saying I always wear that paper bag they had too
