That's a strong word.
In college, me and a couple friends organized Wednesday Night Porn Night. At first, it was just 5-10 dudes hanging out checking out the latest adult title. After a while there were people coming from all over my hall, including quite a few women. We were packing 30 or so people into a small-ass dorm room to watch a little adult, maybe cracking a few beers, maybe ordering up some chicken (for what later would come to be referred to as Wednesday Night Chicken and Porn Night). It was interesting to say the least.
Then, of course, came the bookstore. While I was familiar with AVN, I had never really picked up a copy before I worked at the bookstore, so I became fairly well acquainted with it.
This all added up and since I was a journalism major, one of the co-founders of Wednesday Night Porn Night always chided me with "someday you're gonna work for AVN."
After a couple years in L.A. I found myself in need of a new job. I was working for a mainstream producer and missed writing. I went to my go-to site for all jobs journalism-related, JournalismJobs.com, and what do I see? AVN - Adult industry publication seeks managing editor...
And so it goes...
My friend is now a professor and track coach at Mankato State in Minnesota. I'm working for AVN. He's jealous.
