Getting paid to film live outdoor concert events, and being part of them. I like working with bands and music. This was the most fun I ever had.Ive been around musicians my whole life and having to work with music, was not even considered work to me.

I got to party with a lot of known musicians backstage and that was fun.

Very interesting interview. Good job executing an entertaining concept, Sleazy!

:moon :laughing- :moon

mine is stuck in the mail :disgust

I like kids. They tend to like me. Ive worked with kids in my art background and really enjoyed working with kids and art. They dont look at things the way adult do, and their fresh look on things always seem less prejudiced and genuine.

I can remember some of the first times as a kid fooling with art, crayons, scissors, paste etc... those were the fun days. Creating things.

I like the thought that somewhere some kid actually was inspired by the day at the art center with that crazy guy flinging paint onto canvas, and actually goes on to do something creative. I did various things (volunteer) with kids during my time at the art center. It started with giving tours and just moved into small workshops and such and just working with kids in general. I liked that.

As for volunteer work. Yes, I volunteered at the art center for years actually before I was being paid to be there. But more interestingly, I designed Haunted Houses and helped with special effects and scenes in Halloween "Haunted Houses" - raising money for deaf and blind kids. It was an annual event, but we worked about 5 months out of a year on it.

Did everything from make buckets of fake blood, to learning how to make people "disappear" with the use of mirrors. I built guilotines and was basically, there to do whatever was needed. My favorite was mirrors. Ive always been fascinated with those things. Horror movies, haunted houses - good stuff.

As for kids of my own, Im not at a point where I am thinking about children right now.

While I have spoken to MANY, people in this industry over the phone. I have only met one. If by indutsry you mean from GFY etc... ive met enough talent and stuff. I wont name them.

The beloved and infamous Joe Sixpack.

Whom, even though some of you hate the guy, he is a webmaster and was kick ass to party with for a few days. We had a great time. I showed him Hollywood, got him seated in the hotel Jim Morrison of the doors lived in for 2 years, and just had a great time. No business, just fun.

No, i don't bite, Im just not into pictures.

Simple answer would be yes.

I think its where I developed a liking towards irritating people anonymously. Since I worked after school doing that. My hours were from 5:30 to 9 PM - those are peak hours. Most calls during those hours are goign to interrupt dinner, favorite show, blah blah blah.

getting used to irrate people is easy :)

knowing their number goes back into the database for next months "product" to be called list - was funny too. I used to call the same person a couple times a year, for different things.

Pretty damn funny.

pS: i NEVEr sold a fucking vauum cleaner!!!!

Oh man, I cant really recall - thats highschool job stuff.

Dealing with old people over the phone was a pain enough. Lump all old people calls together and thats the worst.

When I was doing the cam thing. The company was only using us as "content" - I did not even know ifriends existed. :) - and let me say. Me and my girlfriend were never content. We hired friends to get on cam :)

It was not until after we went through with that ordeal did we start to come across the more "amateur cam" type things, and we were in total new ground. We had no one telling us anything, we literally went from two emails to setting up a cam room and putting out fliers for girls.. it was sudden, and i was naive.

Once they were sending us money, i didnt care what happened. we just kept our end of bargain up and rode it until it died.

Never were "competition" - we were basically just running an "early feed" if you will - just with a lot less of the head ache and bullshit of today. I was sending still images through ftp with an old performa mac 6400 (yes i still have this machine 180 mhz i think) using a program called fetch. and it wasnt even "streaming" cam at first. i was overwriting a jpg file over and over during the 3 hour nightly show :)

this was out of my apartment ya know. we were never in any competition with ifriends.

great interview :pimp

i think we need juicy to make up some offical bump licences.

I wouldn't necessary call it inspiration to do what I do... I never considered myself a high-caliber designer. I do what I like, and I keep it simple. Very simple. And so far, people who like the same have continued to come to me.

The college course I thought was the most boring and unnecessary turned out to be the most useful piece of info I was ever taught.

Color Theory and Color in general. We spent weeks studying colors, making colors - endless hours of making one inch gradient squares ranging by hues and shades. Tiresome, but I think using that color info now and knowing how to use color is the most important part of web page design.

Inspiration? Ian MacKaye.

oof.

Tushy Cash, Naughty Allie, Local G, Shemp, Penthouse, Sic Cash, SweetCuties, DonnysMoney, Bang Bros, Purecash, Meatcash, Adult Players Club, Triple X Cash, 100s of solo webmasters submitting,... i am sure there are more. Those are just of top of my head, theres no way to name em all, id have to dig up my work archive....

you get the picture ^

DMPM is the acronym for a saying I started saying in drinking threads. It stands for Drink More Post More.

One night after seeing so many others pick up on the phrase I registered the domain, which I will not link out of respect for Lensman and GFY in regards to the popularity of these threads.

I was on icq with Labret at the time, and told him I was going to start a public "blog" allowing more than one user to post on the domain. cherrylula, joe sixpack, labret, quiet and me... Labret was going to host it.

Due to his world travels and not being around online, I bought a small hosting plan and decided to install phpbb board instead of a blog script and the rest is history.

In short, it's a webmaster board.

Same old story: "I'll take a couple semesters off - turned into never returning."

I didnt intend on never returning really, but I was doing really good with sales and there was no need to continue after i met the internet.

I never was going for a degree. I was just taking classes with no direction. I had no plans, just loved learning. Once I got online - theres no need for college.

No I do not own. I rent an over priced but spacious apartment with my girl.

You almost need to be rich to even rent here, but no, compared to you guys I am not rich.

I live good, but Im not a millionaire.

:)

Ive planned on going to the Vegas one twice now and never made it.

However, our friend Betty Love is going to be coming down and staying with us for a couple days of partying and we are rolling to San Diego, so lets see if we make that one!

Ive seen them do it first-hand and have no problem with being in a room full of people fucking. I also dont care who people fuck.

In regards to protected or unprotected sex, the famous AIM clinic is not far from here and this local area is heavily tested. However, as we have seen aids infections do occur and I would advise any female participating in porn to weigh the options and seek to only work protected.

We know though, that many have unprotected sex every day, but with tested partners. I personally would never trust a performer enough to go bareback no matter WHAT their PCR-DNA test, but talent is tlalent and the rent is due. DNA tests are like 75$ - ive seen girls complain about having to pay to have them done, so theres the attitude that leads to infections.

I dont care what people do. I have no opinion on the women in the industry, they do their thing, I do mine. I wouldnt marry a chick who did "Fill My Ass With Black Meat #92" so it doesnt matter to me what these women do.

Amp:

I have no clue what to even think anymore about Amp. One minute he is on icq giving us (my girlfriend and I) his cell phone number - the next we are in flame wars on GFY. Personally, I think its all board shit and thats as deep as I take it. I think Amp had something personal towards the end, so what I was laughing off was pissing him off. Those who remember the night I passed his post count, and the flame that ensued, know what I mean.

Anyway, talked to him on the phone and we exchanged gfy shirts once due to size difference. Other than that If i were him id be enjoying that island more and less time online, which i think is what he is doing so good for him. :)

Juicy:

hehehe, i just laugh thinking about this guy. If he werent a webmaster and no one vouched for him, Id think he was an annoying fuck. But once you get rid of the facade Juicy is a hard working webmaster like the rest of us. I have posted my fair share of shit on this board, so let someone else do it now.

I dont consider these guys "competition" - i think thats why me and juicy get along and amp and i went sour. the designer/poster thing just weird.

Juicy is all good with me.

PS - Add Guidos Incorporated to my list of companies i did work for.

I did like 5 TGP sites for Mr Izz!

Great interview. When I saw the questions I thought "Fletch will answer them all tonight".

ch33rs Fletch!

you rule fletch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :thumbsup

and those are some of my favorite TGPs as well btw.


fletch is good people, one of the only people who actually speaks his own mind and has a valued opinion

cheers bro :glugglug

New Orleans, Lousiana for both.

I didn't forget about posting more, Fletch. I'll be back.

You forgot a question Sleazy:

Why did you need outside funding (quiet) just to start a message board?

Honestly, I couldnt even tell you. Not more than your average 28 year old guy. Ive been in a relationship so maybe not as many as some, and possibly more than others.

I dont know.

Men, none.

That I know of anyway. Ive had dome wild drunken nights, no telling what we did.

Do transexuals count ??? ;)

I didnt.

My board was launched, I invited quiet to it. :)

Of course. Show me a guy who calls himself a man who hasnt. ;)

Sometimes, you just gotta do what you gotta do.

I dont have a menstruation fetish if thats where you're going ;)

ooops, i missed one, back to #27

:eek7

.....

Eh, I'm not really into kinky things. Dont really have too good of a story. Drunken butt sex? Good thing about being in a long relationship is adventures :)

Public sex is fun :)

If you're asking me about message boards, nothing really impresses me.

There are guys who can buy Jesus off the cross that I dont care to associate with offline, and theres average guys whom I respect here. But nothing really impresses me. I dont even click into "show your car" threads. I dont care what you own, you are not what you own.

Lifestyle is probably the most impressive out of the group. You can be as rich as hell and if you dont enjoy it, you might as well be dead in my opinion.

Posting doesnt impress me. Posting is like talking. Anyone can talk. Few say anything worth hearing.

Including myself


:1orglaugh

I try not to get into impressions of people based on board personas or actions. Sometimes people make comments and the way we percive them may be different than intended behind the post. Learned that long ago.

This is a fast-paced board and industry, people come and people go. Online you cannot take everything at face value.

I try to stay out of peoples business, and just do my thing. I dont worry about impressions too much.

:1orglaugh - you guys blow this sig myth up way too much. Everyone knows its all fake drama ;)

I no longer sell my sig actually, but sold it for 2k for months at a time in the past.

Someone making an offer? hahaha

Awesome work I love this series

Nope, I only put things in my sig that I actually promoted.

Whew...

that was a mouthful :)

thats what the last chick said after i vlew my load in her mouth :pimp

i thought she said "now you pop one on my face mr izzz"

Sounds like a cool interview.
