And the Sheraton was well aware of what was going on.

Perplexing is how there are how many west coast industry shows yet only 1 on the east coast?

Hell of a biz op there for someone.

Has FroliCon been able to stay at the same hotel? I know they had ongoing difficulties with that for a while, but it's been a few years since I went.

As for the flesh... Well, I don't know about you, but I don't go to trades for the T&A, but I'm not booking talent either. I want to convene with people, get in front of them, discuss, and move the hell on.

This was the 3rd year they were at the same hotel. Show is so big they were talking about having to move to a bigger venue.

Actually, having dealt with the old Lifestyles group (California) I can tell you that they had no end of problems with hotels for their events. It ends up being a very narrow list of hotels that are willing to put up with them. They usually end up getting in trouble for nudism in public areas (pools in particular), and most of their events didn't last more than a single year at a hotel, even if they could take out full hotels.

When you find hotels that will tolerate your events (and all that comes with it), they usually get used over and over again. Even in Vegas (the ultimate sin city, right?), it is incredibly hard to find a hotel that will accept swingers, porn, or adult stuff. They are just not willing to take the risks that come with it, even if you can manage just about a whole hotel take over.

I know of 5 hotels right off the top of my head and you dont even have to rent the entire hotel.
