I don't cross one toe onto US soil and besides, I don't want to be in a jet that flies into a building somewhere for the purpose of creating an oil war.

No, but I would if I knew how. I have several million addresses I got in a trade one time, but I gave them to a friend in Johannesburg.
The reason is because at 7 PM on November 2nd, 2004 I vowed I was leaving and never coming back. At 9 AM on the 3rd, I called the Mexican Consulate in Denver and got the paperwork to retire here.
I have it too good here. We even have pavement with lines on the street, stop lights and all the pizza and fast food that is in the US in this "3rd world country", but it's all about half the price.
I have my own 24 hour security guards. I pay them 70 pesos every two weeks
My trash pick up costs 18 pesos a month, that's about a buck and a half.
If I get pulled over for just about anything, it's 50 pesos and get the fuck back in your car and leave me alone. They found a silenced automatic in my car and it cost me $200 pesos and I kept the pistol.
Actually, the wife takes the daughter to visit Grandma and it's the perfect time for me to meet up with old friends there but I've designed and built some new software for the mainstream marketplace and the CEO's of 2 different companies was told about my software via a friend of a friend and one of them has tried to get ahold of me all last week so he can hear more about it - so we've set up a conferences via phone for that week and I need to be home for them.
One of the companies does over 400 million/year in sales and their top dog is trying to get ahold of ME!
The other company does something similar to what I'm doing and isn't as big as the first - but they move much faster and have alot of venture capital behind them and my stuff makes their stuff a stronger product and integrates easily into what they've designed.
I'm psyched, excited, nervous and scared all at once. If either of these companies says yes, 2 years of hard work will pay off BIG!

I am still on the fence about going to Internext. Right now I'm weighing out my options, because I'm not sure how beneficial it will be for me to spend four days away from what I've got going on here.
My reasoning is, I have a full time job as a lead software developer (non porn) and I have a couple large projects we are rolling out at the beginning of the year. I am also in the process of revamping many of my sites for my personal company, and moving them to new servers etc. Taking up a large part of my time.
While I'd love to go down to Vegas and talk to people and spread the word on the free chris case, I'm not sure I can do anything this time around to help my bottom line, so I may not be there.
But, it might be just like August, where I decided at the last minute to take a red-eye to miami and go for it. That move helped me financially (I made a couple really good deals there) so I am still considering it.
I have decided to pass on the big shows and do a couple of smaller more productive shows each year. Webmaster access in Amsterdam was good, Costa Rica and the Phoenix forum are next.
Haven't went to one yet and only will if the woman goes along and we stay longer and get a few vacation days in on it too. That won't happen for a few years atleast.
That's actually exactly how I'm going to be spending this week here - researching both of these 2 companies further so I can gather more insight into how they approach business dealings (IE %'s they like to acquire) and weigh that against how much I'd like to retain.
I know the value of what I've built/designed and have prior business models that prove the concept (revenue/costs) but I also know that I can't do this alone and it would be in my best interest to partner with a company who has a corporate structure already in place with established clients/contacts/networking and can take what I built and include it into their business model versus going after venture capital and trying to build a company from scratch - though I'm not opposed to that.
Vegas, to me.....well, I just love Vegas...I'm going to miss it, I know I am...
Too much travel this year for me and too much travel on the horizon with longer flights....damned good thing I bought that video iPod. Desperate Housewives never looked better...
I took it to Canada last week. It was such a nifty little device that amused me for hours....while I waited to fall asleep.
I can't make it this year. I'll be in California come February though. If anyone from Southern and Northern California (and perhaps AZ) wanna meet up and possibly do biz, hit me up.
I'm going to Vegas later in the month to hang out with some friends for the weekend. No point in spending 2 hours waiting on a cab, having shitty service from bartenders when you can actually get to the bar, waiting forever to get seated even with reservations or dealing with the CES idiots.

and with the 3 shows going on at the same time pffffffff
Its going to be MAdness
Not going this year. Have been 4 years in a row. This year it's just not going to be.
1. I just got married and I would like to spend the time with my new wife.
2. Lots of work to do on the new house.
3. Getting to old for the late night party life. Vegas is great and I have always had a good time, but I shoot content and theres not a lot for me to shoot out there. Not that the talents not there, everyones just to busy or tired from all the other stuff going on.
I've met a lot of good people going to vegas, but you never have a chance to really talk with anyone as your always running from here to there. I like FLA better for that. Actually thinking of doing Cancun this year instead and get some diving in.
Love to go never been there but weve got a sologirl site comin lotsa work plus its 16+hrs and from what Ive heard its 99% hardcore, wrong niche for us... so Florida I hope

Exactly, that's the main reason we won't be going this year. I LOVE Vegas and we haven't missed a show in 4 years. Actually I hate the fact that we're skipping it this year but I don't want to have to climb over people (Airport, cabs, hotel check-in etc.) or wait in line for hours to get a badge or whatever. Just too much going on at the same time
venetian sold out
all other good hotels sold out
crappy hotels too fucking expensive
avn are fucking morons
3+ shows at the same time = BRAINDEAD DECISION
too fucking crowded
There's a whole list of people I only get to see in Vegas...and it was a very tough decision to make, as I've not missed Internext...well, except for one year, I think, back in the day...
Still...from what I'm reading here, there are job related issues, financial issues...other places to go...crowds to avoid...anticipated pandemonium....
With the other shows its going to be a super huge Cock fest and I decided to only do tropical shows now for the exception of Phoenix forum and European shows. If it wasnt going to be so packed in vegas I would have gone.
main reason I have alot of shit i need to get done while its peaceful
I had heard 150 thousand are expected to show..but somehow, that does seem a little bloated...
I used to go to CES early 80's ( at the time video was the thing and VCA, Western Visual, Hollywood video were the players ) and there was easely 150K attendants.
I prefered the much smaller VSDA in August ... but now I really have no interest in those events...
Those going, have fun
I know that Asspimple is stoopid ... As he says, it is a FACT !
But I can't figure out how he can breathe or type , at the same time ....
