      I only had 7-8 drinks all night. if they would have been singles I woul dhave been fine. later i found out they were trippes or stronger....
      Plus, you could have had a couple random pubes swirling through your stomach from your sample of Aaron's caprese salad... But then again, you should be used to that

        Haha Sleazy,

        Should have warned you, unlike in Canada in the states they don't count the shots, they just fill the glass with liquor and top it with a drop of mixer.

                  Hey Shawn,

                  I have no idea why that is I haven't been around long enough to see it I guess. I admit my first few shows out I was shocked and super freaked out by some of the behaviour.

                  As Kimmy Kim said whether or not it is right or wrong stuff like that just happens.

                  I agree that it would be nice if we could have some classier events but I am not about to try and change what already is I am not a miracle worker. So I accept it and laugh at it cuz otherwise I would probably lose my mind at the shows.

                          I did. I ended up missing AdultCon the next day. I had invested a little over $500 in Kayla Cam promotional material and had planned on making a big splash there. I was going to be promoting my 2 films. *sigh* After being up all night, I knew there was no way I would be able to sign autographs and take pics with people all day. I was tired, grouchy and my eyes were puffy.

                          Now...how am I going to unload all of these 8X10's, trading cards and stickers and stuff?!

                          *giggle*

                              There is only one realy way to stop this. Like Aarron said, just cease doing biz with these people. You know how it works from there. Someone will ask about them and you say "yeah their product or whatever is cool , but I do not choose to be associated with them becasue of their lack of professionalism." That is alot more damaging than any hotel repair bill etc.............
                              Make no mistake about it........I was in the Aerospace industry for a long time, I went to many conventions and seminars , there is always going to be someone fuckin up. PERIOD !! I have seen 50 year old men passed in hall ways and arguing with hookers. Some drunk some cold sober. Nature of a gathering.

                                One thing that is rarely mentioned on the boards is people abusing certain substances. I can understand a little but not to the point that it has you so fucked up that you can not do business or even enjoy other parts of the show. Stay and home if you wanna be a vegetable.

                                I am not talking about the person who occasionally gets fucked up, I am talking about the idiots who show up drunk/high/or whatever and you never even see them sober.

                                It's pretty annoying when you have a conversation with somebody and the next day, they don't even recall seeing you. So you have the same conversation again...and guess what? Same story the following day. I don't have time for this shit. I go to these shows to have fun and conduct business, not to waste my time with people who are too stupid to know when they have reached a reasonable limit.

                                Yes, I got pretty fucked up on Thursday night. The difference is that I still remember what went on, I did not damage anything, and I chose to stay sober once the show started.

                                The actions and negligence of one specific person at this show has prompted me to cut off all ties with this person from today forward. This is a person that I considered a friend until about 3 days ago. You know who you are so don't be surprised when I do not return your emails, phone calls, or instant messages.

                                Personally, I am down for starting an industry black list to keep these people away from the shows. Just do not allow them to register, it's that simple. The people who can not act responsibly can make a choice. Grow the fuck up or stay home. Your antics and bullshit are not wanted. Our industry has a bad enough reputation as is.

                                I would like to thank those of you who attend these events and know how to behave. The majority of the people have a clue but it's amazing how just a few people can fuck things up.
                                You were so wasted I bet you don't remember talking to me.
                                about the rash you needed to get cream for.
