Sasha Grey keynote speaker at AVN show

[miz_wright]

I was pretty sure I read a while back that while AVN licensed their brand for use in conjunction/ by the Expo, they have very little to do with the Expo itself - running, managing, or arranging. But I may be missing something.

Regardless, somehow it escaped my attention when I was in this thread way back in November that we were talking about the Keynote for AEE, not I'next. Now that I realise we were talking about the show that is primarily targeted at consumers, I'm really confused as to why everyone got all sacktwisted about Sasha speaking. It kinda made sense when I thought we were talking about her speaking as keynote at the webmaster show - though it felt kinda schmucky, I got it. But having her as a speaker at a fan show?

Well ,she's who the fans want to see and hear from, most likely. So there, it makes sense. And I stand by that.

Uh, back to the devolution of this thread, now. Sorry to bring it back on topic, guys! Y'all continue beatin' up on each other.

It's because that's what they do here.

Anyone participating in this thread who actually went to AEE? Just wondering.



(sacktwisted.... great word btw!)

Hey Chris, I must say you're doing a truly stellar job of representing your employer.

Out of gas. End of thread. Perhaps you should consider an online PR course to improve your damage control skills. Good luck in all your future endeavors, Evil.

You miss the point.

First time in over a decade I have not gone to the January Vegas shows. I'm sure same is true for many others including some participants in this thread. Show organizers aren't listening to attendees as to what they want from these shows, and attendance continues to drop.

HP... with due respect, I have been on Oprano a very long time. I understand the "feel" of things around here and bitching and whinging is part of the territory. Hell, it's part of the reason I come around too.

There's no "point", here... not really. People are being judgemental towards a keynote speaker. It's expected. I actually met Sasha. She's nice, intelligent, she listens to everyone she interacts with. That's what struck me the most about her.

As for shows, what can I say other than the economic climate has made the situation what it is and people are scrambling to change the way they do things. Things will evolve.

OK, I thought you would have had the acumen to bow out gracefully, but since you did not.....
Here is what I think...

I understand that you say that is why you come here. Personally, I think it is disrespecting the board and those of us who post here. But that is just me.

See my earlier comments about learning about damage control. Dude, do you really think we are all fucking morons? Schools out.

My suggestion is that you just walk away with your tail between your legs and pitch this shit where people will actually believe you.

I get it. You need the job. But just don't bring it here.
