Pornoman writes on condomproject.com: "This convention was easily the best one yet as far as accomadations.. rooms were killer, convention area was amazing, parties etc were great.. finally a place that could handle the show.. every convention should be held at the venetian.. I think CE's booth was the size of the last convention center alone."

Porners talked about the large Hanco booth owned by Price Hanson. According to rumors going around the convention, Price is a Southern farm boy whose dad won $27 million in a lottery and gave him five million. Price threw a well attended David Lee Roth concert Tuesday night.

Hanco has 20 employees, and a wide array of content with the best technical quality video streams I've seen. Hanco has the exclusive license for the content of Rob Black's Extreme Associates.

Hanco's root site is primextc.com which offers a wide array of well-laid out high quality original content. Also, hancoent.com.

Robert Wood shows me the site and says: "Luke, if you come to this interface, you can type in a key word and get video clips related to the topic."

Nine out of ten net porners at the convention, I estimate, had not heard of Hanco until this IA2000. Price and his associates attended the last IA2000 six months ago as research. A few weeks before, Price decided that the porn internet was the place he'd make his mark.

Net porners, like all people, are skeptical of newcomers and Hanco has more than its share of detractors who predict that it will take five years for him to make back the money he spent on this year's show, estimated by various sources at around $500,000, the most of any net porner this convention.

I hang out with Price and his Hanco and Extreme people beside the AVN booth.


Then like 4 months later

Hanco Exec Departs

Lev writes: Hanco execs are dropping like flies. Director of Marketing, Dana Frank, is the latest to jump ship. Her reasons: mismanagement, lake of company focus, and general inter-office malaise. Along the same vain, James Gulf, Hanco's Content Manager, also resigned today April 17, 2000.

Email: Thousand Oaks, CA- Friday, April 14, 2000. Dylan Wroblewski announced his formal resignation from Hanco Entertainment/ PrimeXTC. Mr. Wroblewski left his position as Director of Web Operations and Product Development citing only irreconcilable differences regarding "...company direction, and management techniques".

When reach for comment, Mr. Wroblewski gave the following statement: "To all of my colleagues, business associates and friends, I will miss you all. But only temporarily! I will be working with all of you again very soon. I feel I have done all that I can at PrimeXTC and it is simply time to move on. I have no negative feelings towards any staff member at PrimeXTC, and I wish them the very best of luck with every future endeavor. On a personal note, my very special thanks to Hanco Vice President, Jim Henley for allowing me this opportunity, for bringing me to California, and more importantly, for his guidance and friendship."

Dylan Wroblewski served as Director of Web Operations and Product Development for Hanco Entertainment beginning in November of 1999. While with Hanco, Mr. Wroblewski was responsible for website developmet of xpleasures.com, primextc.com, cleavagecity.com, pinksushi.com as well as two content disks for webmasters, Xpleasures Vol.1 and Oral Fever Vol. 1.

In addition to content and website production, Mr. Wroblewski also developed and ran the webmaster sales division of PrimeXTC, and assisted in the creation of the PrimeXTC booth as well as helping to host the Xbash featuring David Lee Roth at IA2000 in January. Prior to Hanco/ PrimeXTC, Dylan held the title of Vice President of Operations for another content provider, Zmaster Inc.

Luke: Another Hanco exec apparently is calling it quits. Eric Moir sent out this email to webmasters: "Erick Moir a.k.a. Moi Moi has resigned as the COO of Hanco Entertainment. I cannot guarantee that all payments will be paid, but I sure hope for everyone's sake that the webmasters' checks are cut on time for everyone. We will all do business together in the near future!"
