J.D. is a great guy, a scholar, a gentleman, insanely knowledgeable, has great taste (he loved Montreal) and is an engaging, fun conversationalist.
But he must be a beast in the court room when he goes to trial.
When you're on the hungover from hell and you're on a seminar where he's challenging you on how you manage international 2257 compliance on what you flippantly termed "2much.net's Dynamic 2257 Record Keeping System" in the post John Ashcroft revision era without breaking the law and you already have a hard time explaining it to yourself, he will make you cry.
It was of course the day after the infamous lipstickman FUBAR incident.
Y'see, our software customers can be both primary and secondary producers, which before the revisions was simple. After Ashcroft, and we had about 30 days to scramble a solution to keep all our platform clients compliant, it was very complicated.
Because you're both primary and secondary custodian of records, because it depends on whether the performer is from your site or from our MBase shared talent pool.
Because, in Canada and other countries, our constitution protects our right to privacy and prevents employers from sharing our private data.
Because US webmasters had the option of accepting or refusing a performer from the LiveCamNetwork MBase system whose 2257 info was blocked with a disclaimer pending a request from the DoJ or FBI.
And so on.
So I wanted to explain all this and the basics behind our performer sharing network, and it seemed (to my boondoggled mind and no doubt to everyone in the room) like irrelevant, promotional preamble, J.D. was asking "How" and "What do you mean" every half-pause I took...
Later people did tell me he seemed a little pitiless... I don't know, 2much had him for supper later and I talked to him about it and we laughed and it was no big deal. I think he was just concerned about what our company particularly was promising clients and the industry, and he's always been passionate about the ways the government seems want to nit-pick us out of business and the weaknesses we can present them...
I love J.D. J.D. loves me.
I know Mark has a great pic somewhere :P

Acid... hmmm... ok, well it's an "environmental" drug - depends where you are, when you are, who you're with... and can turn into a great trip or a bad trip.
It was hard to find good acid in the mid-90's and I gave up on it... but when I first started tripping with deadheads and writing intensely, it was the end of the Owsley era, and still the acid that was a true, 48-hour, intellectual mind trip. It was replaced by cheaper lower doses and speed-inflected formulas and crappy superficial pre-ecstasy style barrels and tabs.
I had one of the best, life-changing experiences in my life on some Owsley tabs.
And subsequently learned NOT to do acid with people you didn't start the trip with, or weren't completely in synch with.
Cocaine was a mistake that became a life-changing habit and vicious circle due to the DJ lifestyle, which I covered a little earlier. My friend and journalism partner Andy once said that coke turns everyone who uses it into a liar and schemer. Obviously it's not the drug itself because lots of people try it and drop it. It's the user, and in my case it was the user, and lifestyle. I had to drop it because I would have had my legs broken otherwise... and, one day, I promised to someone I love I would never touch it again, and I haven't.
Weed I abused when I was younger but it never affected anything in my life. Weed should be legal. I used it during those peer-pressure, initiative years of youth and never liked it, and when I was a security guard (our security crew were the suppliers for the whole mall) I used so much of it I developed an allergy, or negative reaction - whenever I've used it since, it is the ultimate soporific. It makes me sleep, regardless of whether it's indica or sativa. I snooze. I'll know what to do if I ever become insomniac.
But pot is harmless and 420 should be a national holiday, just because to me weed represents the ridiculous, repressive and arbitrary government policies enacted for political or politically strategic reasons without reason - I mean, it's still schedule one, on par with heroin and coke - like do you really think kids develop trust in elders and society after that?
I am polemic, lookitthat :P

13. Solar eclipse in Mexico?
Fuck yeah!
We went down to cover it for a magazine.
We were going to do it in the northern baja but found out the longest eclipse time was going to be in LaPaz, the southern end of the Baja peninsula.
It was a twenty-four-hour bus-ride. Three laughing, joshing, grinning Mexican drivers with Tres Estrellas buslines and perfect teeth in eight-hour shifts who were very competent but made us nervous. They laughed with their heads thrown back, eyes closed, whenever we were rounding cliff-side blacktops without guard-railings... played a constant stream of mariachi muzic that always featured the word "Corazon" (heart, in spanish) and stopped only when they came across a liquor-shop/taco-stand...
That's when we hit the hard stuff. Just to make it through the wood-plank bus seats and endless mexican love tunes...
I have a theory now that all spanish music or songs use "corazon" somewhere in there... test it for yourselves.
So when we got down to LaPaz we rented a room from a spooky old dude with a beard and a respirator who laid in a wheeled hospital bed from the time he opened the flaky green painted door to when he showed us our room. He didn't tell us about the cult of cockroaches that worshipped a giant mutant roach in our bathroom at night if we closed the light. That was the last we saw of our booze, we came back from a good local taqueria the next day and it was all gone.
So we slept on the beach two nights which was cool because this troupe of mystical wild dogs would find us and cuddle up next to us both nights as if they knew we needed warmth.
The eclipse rocked. The light spectrum shifted, the roosters crowed, the horses neighed, and the ants marched back to their nests in a straight line... freaky. Then the sun disappeared and the planets all lined up together beneath the corona - we could see them all because of the reduced light. Like a pearl necklace... and hundreds of people who had gathered to see this cheered across the landscape around us all at once...
Then we had to backpack it back up north.... referred to earlier.
The article was five typed pages, and very expressionistic. The editor's reply with "fixes" was about ten. Our reply was forty pages with justifications. Ultimately we turned down their 400 dollar fee and published a great piece in an indy poetry journal, of all places...
Fuck'em if they can't take the truth.
:D

I'm an old fashioned kinda guy when it comes to sex, it has to be one on one. And I've had the experiences to prove it to myself.
So when that cougarish chick in the bar was telling me and my buddy weren't "man enough" to fuck her and her plain but sweet looking friend who was getting married the next week... well... you can sort of imagine where that led...
And I just didn't enjoy it, it was more sex as sport than sex as pleasure, just empty blah bof...
Public sex: it never occurred to me but sometimes at the right time and the right place with the right girl.... hehehh. But it ain't all it's cracked up to be.
Fucking on beaches and haystacks and elevators LOOKS great, but things in reality ain't. In sand, getting just a little bit in the wrong place is excruciating, and getting hay in your pussy cannot be pleasant judging by what it felt like in my butt crack... and even when your in a stall in a men's room with the hottest babe in the world bent over in front of you, it's hard to stay inspired when listening to guys piss and fart and sigh and belch around you lol.
Viagra: never tried it, hear i don't need it. Except in men's rooms :P

15. Mardi-gras seems to have some meaning to you, expand please.
It's not Mardi-gras as much as New Orleans. The city probably has more history and culture and music going through it than any place on the continent, the feeling is everywhere, in the very air. At least the feeling was there before Katrina. Haven't been back after the floods.
Mardi-gras the festival is another thing. The parades and krewes are great, but the place gets more crowded and unpleasantly rowdy the closer to Fat Tuesday you get. You gotta head out to the small towns, out of the city, to truly enjoy the festival day's real fun.
Had some of my best times there, then. Also interviewed the president of Tabasco company, and Dave Landry, the production supervisor guy who's picture is on every box of Tabasco sauce sold, holding a clip board and checking the barrels.

16. What was it like to watch your kids being born?
Beautiful and transcendent, burned in my mind forever, the most awesome experience in my life. I didn't expect the feeling. One of those don't-know-whether-to-laugh-or-cry moments, but... bigger.
I recommend any expectant dad to be there when it happens. You won't understand until it happens.
Also, I've never seen anyone in so much pain as a woman delivering a child. Kudos, ladies, you're tougher than we are ;)

17. Why didn?t you get paid in college to type other people?s papers?
Well I charged people to write their papers, but never to type'em. Typing papers pays so little you gotta do it in mass quantity, and I did it basically for the practice, I wanted to be a speedtypist on a manual, 'cause I hated handwriting when I wrote my stuff. So I wanted it to go straight from my brain to the sheet of paper, Zenning out on the tool in between...
When I started on computers it was insane. I top at above 120 words a minute in English. I'm sure it's more, that was tested years ago on an IBM Selectric, so...

19. What do you like most about the adult industry? The least?
Most? the creativity - because of the content, we can pretty much get away with all kinds of experimental, far out stuff, good or bad - at least we tried
The fun. The informality. I already posted about the communality. The playfulness. This thread and concept are a case in point.
The people in general, some people in particular! The acceptance towards newbies and new things.
The open-mindedness, overall, and tolerance for weird.
And last but not least.... The Beauties!
The Least?
The small splinter-snob groups who think they're above the rest.
The carpetbaggers, the people from outside the industry who are welcomed in and think they have a thing or two to teach us, or think they know anything about it.
Because of the general acceptance and tolerance in Adult, "straight" or mainstream people often come in thinking to make a quick-buck and assume we're "just" pornographers and somehow below them in morals, ethics and BRAINS. And the industry is patient.... but when they don't turn out well, they end up scammers or just a shitload of trouble.
The leeches, just out to get laid, or "party like a pornstar".

Nah I rent a tawdry small apartment because I was in a hurry 2 years ago and I didn't have much choice. Since then I've been lazy about getting a new place because I choose to work too much lol
I owned one car in my life, and that was a Jeep Cherokee when I lived in the country; in the city I'm a walker/biker/bus-taker.

21. Talk about some of the stories you wrote.
I remember the weirdest place I got fiction published was a Christian Ladies' Magazine. It was a relatively gentle story, about an old woman scared of the progressing world waiting for her baby to come back from an outing with a young man. Like an O'Henry story, it ends with a twist.
The weirdest story I ever wrote was a surreal tale of aliens and their world called "Slurpglop", in Aboriginal Science Fiction.
In journalism I remember doing all the caves of Virginia over three days for Richmond magazine. We didn't have an expense account, but we didn't spend a thing on lodging or food and drink, the owners and keepers of the caves were great guests.
One truly weird tear-sheet we got in the mail was all in Japanese, and I didn't know what the hell that was about until I spotted ournames in the byline and realized it was a Japanese Bluegrass magazine we'd resold the Jerry Garcia Banjo piece to...
Those are off the top of my head...

22. How many fights have you been in? discuss
Fights? I'm a lover, not a fighter....
A few, not many, let's just say more than some, less than others... Never started by myself, usually ended by myself, although I've had a few poundings.
A gentleman neither kisses and tells, nor punches and gloats (or counts).

I don't know it sometimes seems I keep drifting back to sex somehow... stripclubs, porn...
But ideally I'd churning out screenplays and making movies. I was heading in that direction with some assignments, and produced, wrote and directed a couple music videos for local bands, one of which ended up on MuchMusic (Canada's MTV) but not really in rotation...

24. Where do you see yourself in the next 5, 10 and 20 years?
Well 2much is pretty much a place I'd never split up with if it goes the way I see it going. Growth will see me maybe heading a department for the company or a division. If we can automate much of our processes, get some outsource going, and free us up for more creative stuff, we'll have people doing our repping and selling for us. Maybe we'll produce the ultimate hardcore sci-fi horror movie.
I'm also considering starting a small non-competing company on the side to optimize and lighten sites for better rendered search engine representation, among other services.
I don't see myself retiring or dropping out as long as there's stuff to learn. I don't see myself as dropping out of adult unless there's some real good pickings made available.
The future's open. I see either a nice house on a beach or a green field, and an intense work set-up, with my kids playing outside or coming to visit with their kids, or a never ending series of cities and towns and hotels and an intense travelling work station lol.
I'm open too.

25. What companies do you despise in this industry? Which ones do you love? (other th
I don't really hate any companies since 2much.net is pretty much its own service provider on most levels... but even if there were, I may like the people there, or feel that it's not appropriate to dis them in public like this.
In fact there are companies you can hate or like, but the people you feel the opposite about - or most everyone who uses them are satisfied, so it's not really my place.
The companies that are despised for whatever reason are usually despised, in time, by everyone, and ignored, ostracised or litigated off the scene. Let them die their own deaths.
And I'm serious when I say that there really aren't any companies that I hate, per se.
But for companies I love, well, and I think I might miss some here, there's the good people at TMM, one-man companies like MyWifeBucks' JimmiDean or Qwebec Expo's Michel Plante - who both have their awesome wives supporting them btw.
I'm gonna stop there lol. If we used MojoHosting I could probably say I love that company, but really it's all about the people, so I don't know how to answer your question.
I think there's enough shit being thrown at us and negative perceptions from the mainstream without coming out with intercine nastiness... unless it's truly deserved :P

26. Talk about the ketchup mustard thing.
OKAY okay ok .... The kethcup mustard thingl.
Let's have a little preamble on this, shall we?
First of all, most of you are aware of the night I passed out standing up at the bar in Montreal during Webmaster Access East.
OK.
And it all started with a plastic cup. Someone balanced it on my head and took a picture... I didn't wake up.
So it happened again. And again.
And someone grabbed a lipstick and wrote a URL on my head... and more pictures...
The more I stood there, the more people wrote stuff in lipstick on my head and the more pictures were taken.
I heard that people were blinded by all the flashes going off for about forty minutes.
Anyhow, it was real...
A lot of people thought (as early as last year) that it was a put-up job between me and MiichaelP....
I was grilled about it too... and after awhile I just told people - you decide.
It turned into a brilliant piece of guerrilla marketing.A year later, I was drunk outta my head... a bad piece of history for me. Drunk the whole show, almost... and the roomy I had had a girlfriend...
[to be continued]

FURKKKKK I closed the wrong window...
anyhow.... I'll rewrite...
So the year after, these guys who were fully well-intentioned ketchupped my head while I was sleeping on a chair near the Splash Bar.
No big deal, except that when I felt that ketchup cool, and woke up, and put up my hand... and groaned about it... I got up ran for the pool and dove in.
There's a great picture someone has of me emerging triumphant from the water and I want it!!!
Sorry to bore you but that's how it was...
So anyhow the drama came when Mark freaked on all the HD taping of that incident, mistakenly assuming (but with good reason) that it was humiliating to the company. A stink was made but died and all was good....

Mostly for hygiene reasons. People with hair are dirty...
And yes I started going bald.... but was never a fan of "taking care" of my hair so I shaved it. Now, I can frrt dry it like a tooth brush after a shower and be ready to offend in a matter of minutes.
I did it once not thinking I'd keep doing it... but I have such a nice skull...
