Losers who can't make it to Miami.. - GoFuckYourself.com

gothweb · 08-06-2002, 07:05 PM

So, all the cool kids are headed off to Florida to schmooze. What about the rest of us? I for one can't make it for simple financial reasons. So...

Why can't you make it?

and

What are you doing instead?

Me...

Why? No money.

and

What else?Shooting Marianne on Thursday. Pub and Club on Friday night to get out of the house. Maybe a party on Saturday. Working all I can all the way through...

Alas, I am overseas.

chodadog · 08-06-2002, 07:18 PM

I'm overseas. I'll fly over when i'm actually making some fucking money!

Amputate Your Head · 08-06-2002, 07:27 PM

Why? I fear a repeat of the Woodstock event.

What else? offering hot gay boys a chance at fame & fortune if they grease up with this new body oil I'm testing here and smile pretty for the camera....

Count me in

Amputate Your Head · 08-06-2002, 07:29 PM

I do encourage you to get your pets involved as well.....

Steve · 08-06-2002, 07:33 PM

Why? I don't like webmaster conventions. Only way I'm going to another one is if I have a program to promote.

What Else? Same old shit. Work, and take the family out to movies/dinner. Listen to my cats get into mad fights at night.

A nice benifit of skipping conventions is you don't come down with Convention Crud. Seems everyone comes down with a nasty bug after a show. Webmasters carry germs even more potent than Baby Germs.

gothweb · 08-06-2002, 07:33 PM

One way or another, it always comes down to sex with goats.

gothweb · 08-06-2002, 07:38 PM

Good to see someone who isn't going because of preference. Personally, I doubt I would ever go a lot... Once I was making more money, though, I'd love to actually Meet some of the people I work with.* The internet is too impersonal.

You haven't been to a show, have you? It's like the short bus parked in front of the Hotel.

Life sortof seems that way to me sometimes. It would be worth a shot... If it sucked for me, I wouldn't go back.

So, who wants to send me £800 to test my theory? ;)

BVF · 08-06-2002, 08:33 PM

I'll be leaving for the Dominican Republic Sunday for a ten day trip. Gonna sit on the beach and shoot some fine black chicas for my new website.

I for one think that it beats the HELL out of going to miami.

I agree.... but then, almost anything beats going to Miami...

mastamindz · 08-06-2002, 08:37 PM

Im scared to fly

Jamdin · 08-06-2002, 08:42 PM

I am not going to Florida because:
1) My car is not worthy to make the trip;
2) It cost too much to fly;
3) I'm afraid to fly (even before 9/11);
4) Isn't Florida down by Cuba?

HeadPimp · 08-06-2002, 10:45 PM

Lousy wussy excuses! I am coming from the other end of the country to make the show!

Dildozer · 08-06-2002, 10:56 PM

I can't go cuz i'm russian and i'll get assraped

SetTheWorldonFire · 08-06-2002, 11:04 PM

I'm saving time, money, and energy for Vegas

Gutterboy · 08-06-2002, 11:07 PM

I gotta work.

I'm taking 3 weeks off at the end of August during which I will be all but incommunicado with the 'net. Its taking a shitload of work to get the autoupdates loaded up, plus I gotta train a gallery submitter or two.

Exxxotica · 08-06-2002, 11:30 PM

Im broke... havent worked in like three months. Thank god for reccuring billing!

well, if you'd start email spamming and shaving............... ;)

I'm staying home as well....I'm meeting with a certain house of ill repute that is finally getting plugged in (look for the affiliate program spam in a couple weeks). I figure a big client like this is more important that sweating in Florida while drinking too much, looking at too many naked bodies and watching the drunken and drug feuled shenanignas....damn...maybe I will try to sneak over for a day....................

Amputate Your Head · 08-06-2002, 11:49 PM

fuck Miami... I'm goin' to Story, Iowa. That's where the real action is.... at the Super 8 motel there.... I hear they get pretty crazy sometimes and order pizza!

Yep. Actual business is much more worthwhile than potential business, any day.

Now you've got me all intrigued as to who you're working with... Site promoting DD, or site on DD?

boldy · 08-07-2002, 06:26 AM

Deadlines ...

SR · 08-07-2002, 06:28 AM

I don't fly

gothweb · 08-07-2002, 10:24 AM

Update...

Last night, I went out to Men in Black 2 and Austin Powers 3... and then to the pub for a while with the local goth crowd.

Today, I went shopping. School girl uniform and PVC lingerie. Now, I have to clean this pigpen of a house before a model shows up tomorrow. Oh, the glamorous life of a photographer...

kosmic · 08-07-2002, 10:27 AM

Too busy with work and shoots. Wish I was there though. Everyone drink one for me.

dantheman · 08-07-2002, 11:28 AM

I'm having my own porn convention that weekend

Muffy · 08-07-2002, 11:50 AM

My last day of work is next Thursday before I make the move to Germany so it would not be very productive for my company to send me.

salsbury · 08-07-2002, 11:52 AM

why? a) supporting the airlines beyond what i've done with my taxes is totally silly. b) even if i wanted to go, i've got work to do. c) why would i want to go to florida anyways?

what else? work. spend time with the gf. enjoy seattle's good weather.

gothweb · 08-07-2002, 11:52 AM

I dunno... nice goign away present.

Martin · 08-07-2002, 11:58 AM

I'm just not going.. Fuck it..

Wizzo · 08-07-2002, 11:59 AM

These threads always remind me of the chicken and the egg debate...I know I didn't start making real money in this business until I started going to the conventions.

True, after being to a few they can get redundant, but if you go for business they always bare fruit in the long run...

So, I always tell people that are not making enough money at this or interested in getting into this, networking is key and conventions are a Prime place to do this...
