nice woj

can someone send me the rose tour info to my email

chowda @ gmail.com

thanks

I personally like it when they are so close together :thumbsup

that means the entertainment venues are going to be way overpriced and will go to the highest bidders. CES AEE and INTERNEXT. going to be crazy for people planning parties. holy shit that is gonna be a nightmare. im not for or against them being held together. i will be going to both probably anyhow.

wow.

:thumbsup, think about it guys.

What the hell do we have to show on our floors, a bunch of strippers dancing to a DJ, some gay guys in speedo's, Internet models signing autographs, or a bunch of merchant bank guys in suits trying to sell their services. All of the above for $150

Compare that to a hall full of every porn star in the business all for $40, why the hell would they wonder over to us?

So now with the surfers and free loaders out of the way. I do see homegrowns view because to them it is 2 different shows and the overlap will be frustrating as hell for businesses that buy booths for both show. That AVN will have to address because these guys do it for their business and this new line up will make it tough to manage for them.

As for the parties, I would rather go to a AEE party and see hundreds of pornstars then hang out with my Internet friends because I can really see them anytime and don't need Internext to hang out with them. A room full of 200 porn stars, now that sounds like fun.

Just plain stupid.

I will proactively boycott both events. While I have absolutely nothing against Aly, AVN is attitude reminds me of Microsoft. Florida was a major dissappointment and waste of money (save for the wonderful hospitality offered by Camz.com, Netbilling.com, Sammy & Brett, etc.). The shows are getting much smaller, much more expensive, much less productive, etc. AVN wants to subject ourselves to business chaos - no thanks. AVN's solution to saving its declining convention business is to charge more for everything and impose monopolistic practises.

In case AVN has not figured this out yet.... MOST webmasters and internet people do not even go to the AVN show. InterNext is for our business, now we need to fight through the crowds just to get there. Dumb move.

What a stupid idea.

I agree. Why bother driving down Flamingo Ave. to get assraped by a magazine that sells itself to the highest advertiser.

Internext and AVN running at the same time is extremely inconvenient. Basically, it forces many of us to make a choice. I've attended the past 3 AVNs and the past two Vegas Internexts. Internext is much more important to me than AVN, so since I'm forced to choose, I choose Internext. I bet AVN will lose a lot of money because of this bad decision. :disgust

I think this would be a better idea and keep the two shows together...

Have them together, fine and dandy, but do it in a smarter way. Have business the first 3 days of the week so booths can be aimed at the business side of the industry. Then turn it around for the last part of the week and have it aimed at surfers/customers.

Then a company can take down their graphics and replace them with graphics that focus on one of their sites for the consumers. This would in turn serve both sides and a company wouldn't have to choose between which show they want to do a booth at.

Amen. :thumbsup

I'm curious to see how it goes down. I personally like to see surfers at the bars because they think we're gods and buy drinks for us.

No AJ from the backstreet boys this year I'm going ot assume :(

In all honesty friends, none of us will know until we've lived through it.

At first I did not see the harm in combining both shows but after reading all the constructive comments I really think that this is a bad idea.

While I don't think having the shows run simultaneously is a great idea I think the above is a little harsh.

There are plenty of content providers to be found at internext, an secondly, I feel if you're in adult, you're in adult. I don't see how anyone of us could take the moral high road over another aspect in the biz. :2 cents:

I'm glad you had a good time in the suite... it would be a loss to not have you at the poker tables next time around. :(

I wonder what the room rates in Vegas will be during this time?

You guys put a major smile on my face and made me want to promote your site! Eroticy.com is a great fit with my traffic.

Thanks Giorgio! If you ever need anything you can always hit me up on ICQ 196766477 :winkwink:

May I suggest reading the thread or other threads about this. The answer has been given.

I genuinely appreciate your feedback and constructive criticism. This, however, isn't that IMO. If you have some deep-rooted hatred toward AVN feel free to contact me and we'll address it: [email protected]

Also, feel free to call-in to my show tomorrow and we'll discuss this live on-air if you'd like.

Thanks.
