Worst show ever was in Amsterdam.. Everyone was too ritzy for our backpacking asses. Too many gucci sunglasses and designer suits. The tickets to get in were like $250 euros, and I think we were actually on the show floor for a total of 20 minutes.
However, I loved the trip. ;)
I've never looked for a photo of myself at Fubar though!

I had just the opposite experience in Amsterdam. I never went to any of the seminars...and I didn't even know there was a show floor lol
It was the one in 2007. And it was a great business trip for us. I got to meet personally a few dozen European webmasters I had done business with for over a decade and got to meet a lot of big tit affiliates (we had opened up claudia-marie.com only a few months earlier). Matter of fact I met more fellow affiliates at Amsterdam than I have seen at a US show since back in the late 1990's.
I never attended one official "business" event, but as always I was at the evening parties. I ended up making over 7 figures directly related to that show over the next 2 years and I'm still making great money from deals I cut at different clubs speaking with different people.
It was also the last time I actually got to sit down and drink with Bosco in person as he hasn't been to a U.S. show since then.
