i'm not sure i want to go on an AVN bashing spree here.
Were the lines horrible - yes
Was it at the wrong time of year - yes.
can AVN respond to these two major problems? That is yet to be determined.
I see some new staff there these days that are capable people and listen when spoken to and I know for a fact they are aware of these problems.
AVN did listen to requests to change the venue - I was happy they at least tried something new even if it wasn't as good as the venetian.
The days of a corporate decision making process that takes forever to make up it's mind is OVER - it doesn't work to take forever with this crowd - everyone (big and little) in this marketplace is able to turn on a dime and it's why we make the money we do.
My
is this - before i go on any AVN bashing I'd like to see how they handle the next convention. I never really saw anyone complain about these two things properly before, so I feel they at least need the oportunity to react and fix the problem. If it happens again, I'll be the first to lead the charge to have someone else take it over though....but i have faith in the new staff and attitude i'm senceing from them that they will adress and fix this problem in the future.
