I appreciate all that AVN's done for the business as a whole, but also definitely agree that in the last few years, they've completely fucked Internext up. Let's put ourselves in their shoes for a minute though...they're a business too. They can't put on what is no doubt a multi-million dollar show and lose $ just because they want to send their reps to say Hi to us. (Can they? Does advertising revenue in the magazine justify that???)

I'm sure there's a way they could make this less painful by charging less for badges, letting talent and models in free again (MAJOR mistake changing that) and showing the industry that you appreciate us as much as you expect us to appreciate you. If the Internext organizers keep fucking up (last year was a damned nightmare), they'll lose everybody who still comes now to the other shows and it'll be their loss. AVN will become a sponsor at other shows instead of the show that everybody looks forward to all year.

But when it comes down to it, if you go to a show and don't make more than you spent...you're just plain doing something wrong. It means you're spending too much time partying and not enough doing business. So, don't blame AVNs fuckups for everything.
