actually I was up at 9AM on sunday and monday morning contacting all of our sponsors and talking with them regarding the event in fact I even met with a few of them in person at the hotel, so unless you were there or know something I do not, I would not worry about it.

I said it twice and I will say it again...
I had a great time down there even though I spent little time inside... the music was too loud for me and I was not too much into party but more into talking biz...

but I had no real problem getting in considering Stephen was there to take care of me, a friend and 15 other guys who had some probs with the doormen.

From the party itself (people who were inside) I've only heard positive feedback.

Thanks Stephen, Gigacash & all other sponsors

oh and... my buddy stayed there until 7 am lol
he liked it too haha

I had a blast at the party. I saw Bugbee was running around like a madman all night trying to square shit away.

Steve thanks again for everthing, we all had a blast......

a big smooch to you!

I tried to assist when I arrived at EF but I think I was still buzzed from the XBiz Get Happy Hour party earlier that day. haha. see example below of me limbo-ing (and falling):

EroticaFest Rocked! We had an awesome time...Bugbee and the crew totally hooked this gig up and made the night kick ass! For all ya haters :321GFY

Helmy-

GigaChris and Gigabugbee deserve a week off for the amount of stress that your company put them thru. They were under tremendous burden to handle the crowds of this size on their own. There should of been more Helmy male staff to manage the venue, besides the security.

As an Operations Manager, I totally understand your stance and defense. However, a few "simple" things could of been done and thought of in advance:

1) The event should of been an Internext Exclusive and not open to the public. Period.

2) The shuttles should of dropped off the VIP and All ACCESS guests at the proper locations instead of at the front public entrance with the mobs of ghetto crowds.

ROFL!!! :1orglaugh

i think it was you i saw yelling at the bouncers about "What the fuck?? Im a fuckin sponser and i cant GET IN????"

was that you??? :1orglaugh

I thought that pics means more than one... :helpme

start with these I will post video and pics tomorrow as well...

Gigabugbee,


What a rough ride it was. Yeah some minor stuff wrent awry but with a party of this scale that's going to happen no matter what, you just hope for the best and that any problems that come up will be as small as possible.

The big issue, the issue with the venue staff not letting people in at that point was out of your control and you did all you could to get people in.

I appreciate the fact that on Sunday morning you found me on the show floor to apologize for me not being able to get into the party. You are a stand up guy and I know a lot of people would have just hid in their hotel room for the rest of the show.

From the pics the venue looks awesome on the inside, so I know why you guys chose it for the event. It just kinda blew up on you and we've seen other people who have thrown many parties have the same thing happen - the venue staff can at their own will, ruin the event for everybody.

From the people that did attend I heard a lot of good things about it. Here's to next year's show, hopefully the next venue won't give us any problems and everyone will get to experience all the hard work you guys put into the event.

Here are some more pics from EROTICA FEST!!!

Good job guys. I think you made the best of a bad situation :thumbsup

Its not my style to yell, I don't think I yelled...I knew I could have flashed a Franklin and got in but I didn't do it on the principle. If I yelled or acted in any way unprofessionally I apologize. I actually was more occupied holding back my business associate from raising too big of a ruckus.

I feel for you Steve, it wasn't the funnest of ways to spend your first month on board :-)

CE always seems to get robbed, the Venetian and their hotel room during Vegas Internext, the EroticaFest ...

On a different note, I don't see many WEBMASTERS in those pictures, isn't that who conventions are aimed at? We are always bitching about the ROI on parties at conventions ... so does it make sense to give a free party to locals?!? While this was a large-scale production and there are bound to be flaws, people need to re-think their strategies for conventions. Do the math on what you spent and what you'll earn from this. I'm sure you are in the red on that one.

Sorry, but I had to :)

On another note, xbiz and Gigacash have always done me right

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

I see Pipecrew in one picture, but other then him I don't see anyone else I recognize from meeting them or other convention pictures. I really don't understand why sponsors would be happy about spending thousands of dollars on bringing in bands while their webmasters couldn't get in to enjoy the show, but locals could get in to enjoy the show.

Is the guy in white on the right, clawing his face, screaming, acting very frustrated, or is he just gay and saw a pussy?

we had well over a thousand webmasters in attendance, you know every webmaster in this biz?

We was the ones with the badges dumbass ;-)

No I do not or claim to. But I know quite a few and you can usually tell a webmaster from a local. ; ) I'm not saying anything horrible, there have been plenty of parties that have had problems. I'm just saying that I don't think for the money and time invested, you will get the return.

most webmasters took off their badges once they were inside - heh.

Helmy is official from xbiz ... they just lost everything I guess ...

I love how all the people who have never contributed a dime to a sponsorship feel that they know all the answers.

Putting together something of this magnatude would have been a herculean task, and I don't envy the organizers one bit.

Things go wrong, and I'm certain that the organizers immediately dealt with their sponsors; who also know that things go wrong now & then.

As a sponsor, I would have been more embarassed to have my banner on the wall of that overrated bingo hall upstairs on Thursday night.

We had a lovely time. We showed up without enough passes, were immediately escorted through the back door, and remained in a comfortable vip area until about 4am. Yes the queue at the bar was a little unpleasant, along with the watered down $12 drinks, but that's par for the course.

Thanks to Corey and the Mojo team who were able to show us such a good time that evening!

It's Ironic that your calling someone a dumbass when your English
is at a 5th grade level :1orglaugh

shit, theres the proof i was there, the leather hat in the lower right corner.

WHO THE FUCK CARES ABOUT HOW BIG A TASK IT IS????????


IF YOU CAN'T DO IT..... OR CAN'T FULLFILL YOUR OBLIGATIONS AND PROMISES, THEN YOU SHOULD NOT BE PROMOTING EVENTS AND ACCEPTING SPONSORS MONEY AND TELLING EVERYONE ELSE HOW GREAT THINGS WILL BE AND THEN TELL THEM "FUCK YOU" AT THE DOOR.


How difficult is that to comprehend?


The smoke and mirrors, bullshit and spin and shameless cliques who defend each other to the death in this business makes me want to puke sometimes.



:2 cents:


It's a fucked up world when the only person on the board today who accepts any responsibilty for something and sincerely apologizes is 12Clicks.

It even more ironic you feeling the need to stick your dumbass 2 cents in on it ;-)

Looks like you got a few fucking errors in yours....

:1orglaugh That guy is great! My thoughs exactly :1orglaugh

LOL, where did you go to finishing school Billy Bob ?

I saw your post about the farm animals dumbass.....

I was born a hillbilly and will die as one ;-)

Your just a editing and changing your post fast as you can.....

Figure out what your going to say and stick with it dumbass ;-)

threadjack- Mahoney I will respond to your email later tonight I hope- dealing with a backlog of customer service first.

Me careful what you say.....

He will start calling you names ;-)

"Wubb-muster? WTF is a wubmuster?? Sorry - you need to be a hot latina or at least as much of a self-important prick as I am to get into this club"
