Exposure is not cheap at Internext --- and come Monday morning most people don't remember which parties they went to, let alone who sponsored them.

Internext is a fun show, its great to see everyone in one place. But people need to be mindful of the sponsors and make a real effort to do some biz with them for their efforts. The sponsors of all tradeshow parties do it to support the industry and treat everyone to a good time.

Problem is they lied to us. If they can't budget a party how can they run the businesses they do?

I want to talk to the asswipe that decided todo this. You think this shit is a joke? far from it. I keep my word, I expect the same from everyone else with any business sense at all. I know there are 3 pissed off sponsors right now plus myself for you guys pulling this shit. I guess its pretty fucking hard to email 6 ppl explaining your stupid ass decisions.

people have made fun of the TGP VIP since day one - lol


but i never gave a fuck what the idiots thought about what I did

I've been to 50 conventions over the last 4 years, almost in a row. I can tell you from experience, there is no perfect event, ever. There will be lots of problems, and dealing with them together is what has brought us closer to a lot of good companies.

If there are 9 sponsors at 6k each, that ain't alot for a BIG-size crowd -- you should feel lucky to find any co-sponsorship for under $20k

You get what you pay for

I was actually trying to give you some advice. I'm not sure why. I have experience with tradeshows and parties, I guess.

I would think they could have at least asked the 6 for the needed funds first.

Have you spoken to the other 5 about this?

Your investment will soon become golden, if you turn enough heads. The drama alone will stir some pretty interesting convo and exposure at internext. :Graucho

its still money, and quite a bit of it too.

Well it use to mean something in this business, but lately it means squat. Better to have a contract, so you can later sue their asses, because without logs, an email trial, or a witness, it is your word against his.

Just ask for a 2k refund, shit this looks like shit on the boards.

GET A FUCKING REFUND AND QUIT CRYING!

That's not the point at all . The point is : They said it would be 6 sponsors ...

He said if they would have notified him, he wouldn't mind .

I would have been slightly pissed, but would have delt with it.. but this is just complete bull shit. they must have a fucking monkey running that show over there, cause I can not see any REAL business doing something this shady.

$2k? :1orglaugh

For his $6k, Pimpdog could have had the band come to his hotel room and had plenty of money left over for drugs or whatever he's into. :1orglaugh
