Always great to read up on mr. shemp !

#1... its relationship building and selling yourself. i had to do it when i started too.

#2... i have no passport, so im limited to USA/Canada

#3... sorry, what is/are HT's (human transporters?)

Great read Shemp and I hope all is going well in this new year. I won't be making it to Phoenix but I hope you get the chance to.

This was a great read... I wish you only the best my friend :thumbsup

thanks Stu, congrats on your new job... man you've had a busy year

How much longer before you run for Congress and use that as a launching point for the President? :thumbsup

that's definitely an understatement and I've got a TON more to look forward to. Heh, I hope I don't burn myself out at this point.

Any time you make it out this way though, you'll definitely have to let me know. I will make the trip to Toronto or even Montreal to see ya. I think I still owe you a Krispy Kreme :winkwink:

Great interview! Good stuff Shemp and Sleazy. :)

The Shemp Group ROCKS!!!

Eric Clapton is really SHEMP! :winkwink:

Shemp, I think I can speak for all of us in that we wish you the best in your fight with cancer. It really sucks that one of the good ones has to struggle with this terrible disease. And its really good to see just how respected you are in this business.

Peace, Shemp.

:thumbsup

thank you Shemp!

:thumbsup

great interview, well done mr. sleazy and mr. shemp! :thumbsup

My question:
you said you made the jump from corporate to porn world due to it being the best financial situation to get into.
a) Looking back now, was it the best decision to make?
b) how did your friends/family react to this decision?

Thanks!

We need to get you back the the big A

Rob = good people.

Glad to see you posting my friend.

great thread :thumbsup

That was a great interview Shemp. This is what this board should be about.
IF you're looking to move to the interior BC i'm going to try my damn hardest to get you to move here
Finally left Vancouver and it's the best decision.

Best of luck to you.

a) it turned out well, i was ready for a career change. i tried retiring a few year previous, but i went nuts...

b) A few friends just kind of faded away..thats okay though..
The immediate family was fine. my parents died a long time ago, so i dont have a Mom or Dad to explain myself to..

where you been, Travis?

Awesome interview, Shemp! I really enjoyed working with you and TOTALLY appreciate all the time you encouraged me and helped me along. I can't wait until we can hit the pool hall again and you can kick my ass while the bikers look on... ;)

100 Shemp Questions :pimp

Very nice interview Shemp. You are a great guy. I'll never forget our kiss, hug, and phone chat ;) *growl*

not many girls answer the phone at 02:00... very impressive...

2 Questions........
 

2 Questions Come to My Mind, Shemp........

1) What was the best move you have ever made personally in the adult industry?

2) What was the worst move?

You are not bound to answer on the grounds that it may incriminate you and later be used against you in the court of gfy ;)

Here and there.

My day job/family business called and I stepped up to the plate there and that keeps me away from here. It's kinda like being in the mafia. They made me an offer I couldn't refuse, but I do check in regularly and still maintain a small presence in adult.

When you get back to Atlanta let me know, I would love to see you again, hang out, and just shoot the breeze.

WOOHOO

:thumbsup

Nice interview, great pics. :thumbsup

Great interview! :thumbsup

I didn't know you had been involved in the pool business. I invested in one a little over a year ago & am planning to buy out the other partner over the next few months. I'd love some tips!

Nice interview Shemp.

And it has been an amazing pleasure to be working with you for the last 16 months or so on the forum!

:thumbsup

what would you do Shemp?

1. early on i developed a friendship with Al Fore (Al4a) and he showed me the right way to do things.

2. worst move was running an ad for the Paris Hilton/John Atherton fiasco, last year..
it came highly recommended from a friend, but it turned out to be a surfer scam. i took huge abuse for it on a couple of boards, while other sites got off scot free. as it turned out i never did get paid one nickel for the ad..plus lost crediblitity..

Shemp, I read every word of yours in this thread. You are an icon in the business and one of the few people I look up to. Although, the whole not sleeping with anyone in the industry thing kinda threw me. Damn it Shemp, I don't know if I respect you more because of that or just want to yell at you, "WTF are you thinking!? Nail them all my friend!" :)

It's been a pleasure to know you and I look forward to having some drinks with you again real soon :)

fuck everyone you can CEPT those you work with. TRUST ME

i prefer spiritual relationships :)

Shemp is a class act. Someone I wish I new better and had the opportunity to hang out with more.

if i get down to Dallas/FW again, we can go line dancing at Billly Bobs :)

SHEMP!

It's amazing how much respect one man
can command on this board. He deserves
it all just for being himself. That's rare. :thumbsup

Well said! Three cheers for the Shemp!

Shemp is a real classy guy. We have had 1am phone conversations as well... it amazes me how he will go out of his way to talk to someone like me for half an hour at that time of night. Just so darn nice.

Kcat, how many tables in your hall?
