Sorry to hear that happened. I agree with some on here, it was probably one of the show 'workers'... those dudes make 50 bucks a day and lose their integrity along the path.
Just my 2 cents
You and Hal are good people so dont worry, something great will come your way to offset this. Its called 'Karma makeup' right?Comment

Sorry to hear the purse and camera were stolen - that just sucks.Originally posted by tASSywell we were down exactly where we were supposed to be. we were on time, i think we may have been even earlier than most. i presented, left my purse in the VIP booth and when i returned the camera amd my wallet were gone.
honestly, right now i am SAD. i have spent much of today interviewing people about what the redeeming qualities of pornography are -and i got a TON of great answers.
sadly, the common misconception is that there is a lot of lying/cheating/stealing/taking avantage of in our indstry....and right now i'm hurt by my experience tonight and i hope you all will learn from my stupid mistakes. this story is what those other people talk about and make us, as 'ponrographers' look bad.
BUT...
Its a reflection on the lowlife individual that stole them, NOT the industry itself. Unfortunately, stuff like that can happen anywhere, anytime. Where there's temptation - there's always someone present willing to take advantage of it.
Please don't think its simply indicative of the industry we all exist in together. There are still a LOT of really great people in our circles. What happened to you was caused by a bottom-feeding individual, not the collective.
I hope you get the purse and camera back. I'd be rather pissed, too (especially if I lost pics in the camera as well, heh).Comment

Start a poll on GFY, you can find out.Originally posted by Kassidy... I really don't understand how people can go through life without a conscience, stealing from and hurting other people. Sad.
:/
I struggle to remain optimistic but usually I gaurd my optimism and keep it within a select group of people not the general public.
PS: I agree with the people saying it could have happened in any crowd. This is also sadly true. I mean mabye a little safer at a buddhist monk convention, etc but a general pop crowd, not so much...Last edited by TheJimmy; 11-18-2005, 08:47 AM.Investor with 5m - 15m USD to invest.

very valid point actuallyOriginally posted by GonZoWHy not? It happens every day with shaving... after all thats what we should call it... not shaving.... stealing.
Often times I wonder why
There's love and hate, theres live or die.
When sickness comes I must decide:
When feelings go, theres suicide.

Tassy,
I am sorry that happend to you. You and Halcyon are two great people who always have a good positive upbeat presence. While at a webmaster party last year I had my 1 day old leather jacket, a pair of sunglasses, my blackberry and the jacket had a feww hundered bucks cash....
I felt so betrayed... and last night i had the sunglasses stolen fromthe side of the stage.
so I get it. very very sad when people stealComment

thanks for all of your responses - both the ones telling me i am an idiot, and the ones expressing sympathy.
a couple things i want to make clear - i left my purse under 2 jackets for as long as it took to walk from the VIP booth (with all the food on it) to the stage to present the award for best GLBT and turn around to go back to the booth in the VIP area. the wallet and camera were in my purse with my Pinkgasm and FLASHCA$H business cards prominently displayed inside (so anyone in the industry would definitely know it was mine if you've seen my biz cards). my cell phone was not taken, nor were my medications.
in my original post i never intended to imply that it was someone in our industry that did this - but what i DID want to point out was that when things like this happen at industry events, they are heard about. rumours get started - hell, half of you here jumped to the conclusion that i thought someone upstanding in the adult community did this (?!). please don't think i'm accusing anyone here, i just wanted to post last night when it happened in case something good came of it...i.e. wallet found with my ID still in it but cards gone, or *something*.
and no, i'm not going to learn that i should never trust anyone ever again - that's ridiculous. Halcyon calls this "the optimism tax" - it's the price you pay for living happily by allowing yourself to trust. i prefer it that way, this experience was/is a bummer but it's not changing my fundamental views, though i may never leave my purse sitting somewhere for 5 minutes again when i'm being asked to present something on stage. i'll just wear my purse and look like an idiot.

LOL Hal is a wise man
Next time, give your purse to someone and ask them to hold it for you.Originally posted by tASSyi'll just wear my purse and look like an idiot.
Most webmasters in this industry would gladly guard your possessions with our life

Exactly GonZo!Originally posted by GonZoWHy not? It happens every day with shaving... after all thats what we should call it... not shaving.... stealing.
That also spreads wider to commerical theft from amateurs who run corps and either want to believe they are solvent or just want to steal and forget to pay webmasters/creditors. You around iBill?
Tho stealing stuff of folks personally just appears a a bit more "crass".
I've had a few cameras stolen over years - can't remember how many now - and a couple of attempted frauds plus a number of scamming sponsors. I'm fussy who I call friends and have around, but those that are, have stayed the course for many decades.
And.. it's not just the adult biz, there are idiots everythere that "assume ownership".Last edited by Webby; 11-18-2005, 09:40 AM.XXX TLD's - Another mosquito to swat.Comment

Damn that sucks Tassy! I wish there was something I could do for you to make it suddenly reappear again. Unfortunately this world is full of people with no conscious and they will probably never even think twice about what they have done. I guess that's the reality of it all. I'm sorry for your misfortune Tassy and if there is anything that I could do to help just let me know!

When we ran a Cybernet show in Montreal, we were amoungst the first shows to have wireless internet available in the bar areas. Between day 2 and day 3, our wireless hub was stolen, in an area restricted only to webmasters / badged attendees.
Nothing at all surprises me anymore. Sorry for the trouble Tassy... take it as one of those learning experiences.

I'm still "Surrendering to the desert..." and now i'm going to have to incorporate the concept of this "optimism tax"...

And you know which sponsors "steal" and you can choose not to use them. Tassy wasn't given that option.Originally posted by GonZoWHy not? It happens every day with shaving... after all thats what we should call it... not shaving.... stealing.
I had two people try to steal my pocketbook in Vegas - Pornoman and Skorick - but I had Gabe close by so I was protected

Aw Tassy, that sucks bigtime. I would think it was probably one of the staff at the club. Did you try calling the club to see if anything was turned in?email: [email protected]Comment

tASSy, so sorry that happened to you last night. It?s always violating to have something stolen, not matter what it is that?s taken.
For the record, she did not leave this in a general VIP area of the club? this was a separate room, blocked by security, where only presenters and their guests could enter with special wristbands. So, it was not open to random attendees or the general public. Plus, if it was buried under 2 purses and other stuff, and was stolen in under 5 minutes while she was presenting, the person(s) must have been watching/planning to raid her purse from the beginning.

yeah, someone that worked there gave me a number - (323) xxx-xxxx and whatever that number was said "the toll-free number you called is no longer working," it didn't even sound like a phone company recording. weird.Originally posted by ElliAw Tassy, that sucks bigtime.
