6. What the fuck are "Barbie" and "Hotwheels" branded computers?
Before I stared working for Python I spent 2 years selling computers for a local manufacturer. The twin brothers that owned the company were born again Baptists and more than a little strange. The brother in charge of the sales dept had a plaque on his office door that said ?director of big ideas??lol One of their better ideas was to pitch Mattel on Barbie and Hotwheels branded computers. Silver and pink cases, monitors and keyboards with flowers for the Barbie computers and blue cases, monitors and keyboards with flames for the Hotwheels computers. Concept was absolutely brilliant, but did they ever fuck up the fulfillment. The guts were low end ?everything onboard? motherboards and the power supplies had a failure rate that was beyond brutal. The base model without upgrades didn?t even have enough RAM to run windows. The last straw for me was when they promised delivery on about 20,000 units for xmas and didn?t come through. It was a cluster fuck of giant proportions and eventually forced them in bankruptcy. http://news.com.com/2100-1040-229387.html 7. Did you start in gay accounts due cause you liked the twinks or cause the twinks liked you? I was hired as the ?Gay? account rep because ?bears? like me?.lol I was actively looking to leave my current job (see last question) and wanted to get back into the internet. The dotcom bubble had yet to burst and my original plan was to work in internet porn for a year and take what I had learned into the mainstream internet world. Over 5 years later I am still here. |

8. Talk about playing guitar for 31 years, and being a serious musician for about 10.
I don?t play guitar because I want to. I play guitar because I have to. I tried quitting once and it was probably the worst experience of my life. I think everyone needs some sort of creative outlet in their life?and playing guitar does it for me. I started playing guitar when I was 6. A friend of the family gave me a beat up old acoustic to fuck around on and that turned into lessons. If I remember correctly Boston?s ?More Than a Feeling? was the first song I learned to play. About 10 years ago I started to take playing guitar seriously. Took more lessons, bought more guitars, amps cabinets etc? and got ?out of my basement? and into a band. I?ll never forget the fear that was in the pit of my stomach the first time I played live on stage. Now I can?t live without it. The adrenalin rush is insane and highly addictive |

10. Why did Elvis Manson change it's name to Brass Knuckle Therapy? After 10 years playing under the name ElvisManson it fell apart. This was before I played in the band. During the 5 year break one of the founding members died of a brain aneurysm. When the rest of the band reformed I replaced him. We started out using the name Elvis Manson again as there was still a decent local following for the band but by this time Marilyn Manson had broken and the word association was becoming a huge negative. You can get some more history on the band at the link below. It's from a recent issue of "Gasoline Magazine" http://brassknuckletherapymusic.com/...le_article.jpg |

11. What kind of car do you drive? Is it true only homosexuals drive dodge?
2003 Durango R/T Black of course. I know a couple of straight people that drive Dodge, but not many. ;) 12. Why can't you sell your basement in Toronto? Fuck.. I wish I knew. I finally got sick of people wandering through my place and pulled it off the market. 13. Why Toronto? Where else have you lived in your life? I moved to Toronto when I was 17 and absolutely love the city. It is one of the most beautiful city?s in the world in the summer and the restaurants? are amazing. Within a 5 block radius of my condo I can find any type of food I want. I can get booze delivered anytime of the day or night and I have a huge network of friends and acquaintances I can network with for music and video production. I have lived in Montreal QC, Ottawa ON, Moose Jaw and Saskatoon SK, Calgary AB, Vancouver and Kelwona BC but I always end up coming back to Toronto. |

14. Who brought you into the industry? Discuss
It is all Aly Drummonds fault?.lol Aly and I used to live in the same ?hood here in Toronto. I was new to the area and woke up one Saturday afternoon to find that there was a street party going on. The good news was that the beer garden was literally 5 steps outside my front door. Considering the state of my hangover (which was brutal) I assumed this was a sign from doG and proceeded to get stinky drunk?again. For reasons I won?t mention here, Aly was well on her way to an equal state of inebriation and we started buying each other rounds. At some point in our drunken stupor she mentioned that she worked in online porn. Being of the male persuasion I found this completely fascinating and grilled her about it to the point where she offered to let me sleep with her Girlfriend if I?d just shut up about it. I countered with asking if they were hiring (her GF didn?t really do much for me) and she realized she could pass the buck to someone else by saying they were. Aly being true to her drunken word arranged an interview at Python for me and for reasons still unbeknownst to me?.they hired me. As their Gay sales rep. I?ve done a lot of different things at Python and plan on being here for as long as there is room for me to grow. A few months ago I started editing high def video for our newly re-branded www.python.com affiliate program. |
good stuff so far brent!! always nice to see you in montreal!!

15. What on earth is a live sound reinforcement company?
I used to own a company that provided live audio for bands. A club, promoter or band would hire us to bring in a PA ( public address) system to reinforce their stage sound. We?d mic the drums guitar bass etc? and run all of the sound through the FOH (front of house) speakers. This increases the volume of whatever instruments or people that are mic?d. we would also run monitors back to the stage to give the musicians an idea of what they sound like to the people watching them. Any concert you go to has this. I got to work with some really cool bands and meet a lot of great people. |
Darling, I was about to hit you up with all sorts of witty responses to #14... but I can't see you online. It's probably my aging eyes... hit me up: 51504163 :thumbsup

16. What kind of formal education do you have? Where did you goto school?
Very little. I never finished high school in fact. I learned early on that I didn?t have the attention span to sit in classes all day. 17. What shows do you attend in the online adult industry? Which are you favorites? Which did you get refused entry into the USA trying to attend? These days none. I used to go to All of the Internext shows, Cybernet Expo, the AWE shows when they were around, the Phoenix Forum, Webmaster Access and some smaller shows that escape my memory right now. The phoenix Forum has always been my favorite though Dokk?s Jamaica shows were a close second. In August of last year I was flying from Winnipeg to FL for the Internext show and was denied entry into the US. The Dept of Homeland Insecurity decided I was a menace to sobriety and after grilling me for a couple of hours let me go. I am in the process of jumping through all of the government hoops to get my waivers but it takes a mighty long time to get it all done. |
great answers so far Brent! :thumbsup
