I was just wondering why you never hear about more actual fights at these shows, since so many people get riled up at each other beyond the boiling point. When someone is pretty much all but posting death threats at you, you'd think some funky shit would go down in the city at least a few times by now.

    Probably a few assault charges too, you'd think.

    while I generally agree with you there must come into play the type of industry we deal with. I would approxmate 80-90 percent of people and sponsors we deal with we will never meet in person therefore it is what it is...I seriously doubt half the people who talk shit would even show up at a convention let alone make enough money to afford time away from the comp. One good thing I can say about this industry is it's lack of forgiveness for cheaters and spammers. This type of self governing backed up with complete FACTS is what helps us all in the longrun know who and what we are dealing with and make more money.

      Yes. There are two sides to this. On one hand you've got those who hide behind their punk monitors all the time, beaking off at will to anyone and everyone. Some of them will "invite" someone to come find them, when actually it is they who should really be doing the "finding" and deliver the goods.

      Then you have those that will say what they need to say on the boards, make their point and then drop it and move on with other business. Professionals mostly.

      I'm just sort of surprised there hasn't been any "famous stories" from past conventions where webmistresses/webmasters/actors/models have mixed it up some.

            Because most of the "Big Mouth Idiots" that talk big shit on boards are just wannabie small time idiots. They probabally don't even make enough money to attend any of the shows, and if they did, they don't say who they are on the boards to avoid getting their asses kicked. The shows are about Friends, and Love, and networking, not assholes fighting......

            Just my 2 cents

              the only fighting i do at Internext is fighting to remain conscious under the heavy barrage of cocktails and other party favors consumed.

              eventually, earth will lose.
              enjoy it while it lasts.

I have been to many music industry conventions so I pretty much know the drill as far as making your rounds and meeting everyone and blahzay blahzay. I sit in front of this one eyed demon about 10 hours a day after comming home form a normal job and I make more than my normal job! With that being said fuck the bullshit...lets compare bankaccounts and compare dicks later......
                      I've worked in music, done the la/ny party thing, conferences CMJ, MIDEM, etc. - it's the same bullshit whether it's movies, music, or porn. It's all about making alliances, having the right friends, etc. Even if you don't make more money the day after you get back from a conference, you might make more money 2 years later because of the people you met. If you're in entertainment already, you know the game.

                          dude, you DO NOT have the market cornered on that.
                          I've had lots of guys threaten to "find me" at one of the shows. Once someone points me out to these pencil neck geeks, they usually slink away.

                          Over the years, I've pissed with lots of guys, lensman, Brad Shaw, etc.
                          what really happends is this, you meet face to face and realize the guy you are pissing with either *IS* or is not an asshole. (obviously, the gutless ones never get to the meeting part)

                          Also, public fighting is really for the immature punks of this business. I seldom get to the places these clowns go (unless, very late at night, they slip into the adult.com suite)
                          I'm not a dinosaur, I'm a crocodile. I've seen dinosaurs come and go and I'm left unimpressed.

                            I've worked for a large player in the industry for many years until recently, and we would make sure we had at least 1 person present at all of the shows... Its not about making money on the spot, its about networking with the people that you typically do business with through email, msn and icq. Quite frankly tho, I personally am more apt to responding to an email from someone that I have shaken hands with than someone that I have no clue about.

                            And yeah, 2 years down the road, thats what matters..this business is starting to mature now and looks whos still here and whos not.

                                Yeah, that sounds like Kman. You had once threatened us, although for the life of me I couldn't remember why. We talked and got you know you; You got to know us. Now we talk all the time (and you hooked me up today!! Thankx!).

                                Most of this shit on the boards...... Is just people wanting attention. And some of the shit that goes on behind the shit on the boards is really neat.....

                                Don't believe everything you read on the boards.
