Webmasters & Webmistresses,

EroticaFest will go into the history books as one of THE most ambitious and over-the-top productions in our industry - problems and margin of error come with the territory.

Multiple security meetings were held prior to the event, the challenges we faced post "show time" were not within GigaCash's control. Although the VAST majority got in without a problem, security was tighter with the dress code than we had been told and although we had 1200 webmasters rockin' at the party, the crowd flow (an enormous turnout due to heavy marketing) could have been smoother and we would have preferred to do without breaches of contract by venue management.

From all the face-to-face feedback we received, everyone at the show was totally blown away by the production and had a complete blast.

I was speaking to someone about all the hard work that goes into putting together an event of this scale and how its tough to measure a return (as the producer) not to mention putting yourself out there to be criticized if all elements don't go as planned, and was asked if we'd do it all over again if we went back in time, and my answer was "HELL YES!" - because although it wasn't a perfect production, at the end of the night we delivered the main elements of the party - this was one Godzilla of an event (which takes quite a set of balls to undertake on the part of the producers) and we threw an unforgettable party for the vast majorty of our attendees (including the biggest players in the biz), and I am proud of this accomplishment.

Our sincere apologies go out to those affected by the venue's security, and am sure you understand that such problems can be at times out of the producer's control, especially at "big city" night clubs.

My team strived for perfection and although there was an internal "let down" which caused certain issues that were avoidable, my team deserves all the credit in the world for all the things that went RIGHT.

I want to thank all of you for coming out to the show - and thanks to all of you who came up to me to personally congratulate and give raving remarks.

As always I enjoy reading feedback on our controversial events, so post away!

Here's a snapshot i took of you guys when I was up on stage introducing AAF, am sure most of you will remember the moment - as they say a picture is worth a thousand words.


Adios



p.s. Look out for more pics and videos from the event on this thread in coming days!!

Sig Spot

I already charged back my bar tab.

im glad i did not go.. what a joke from the stories i have heard!

:321GFY

ahhhh

Interesting thread :winkwink:

hummmmm

Looks like a nice club. :glugglug

This reminds me of the Iraqi Minister telling his people that nothing was happening while American tanks were rolling in the background. I miss that guy. Is GigaCash hiring?

Allright who's cooking the popcorn ?

Helmy, when you want to promote a successful event, let me know, I can turn it into a winner for you....

first of all I would have controlled the club a little better, so that the doorman did not use us as a tool to strong arm the locals for more money, by selling them tables lol....

I do give you a big thumbs up kudos for trying hough, it was a good idea, just struggled on the implentation process.:2 cents:

LISA -lol

Seems like a nice party for those who haven't been turned back by the morron at the door :(

um...after 100 threads about how your party was a ripoff to sponsors and annoying to patrons....how in gods name do you think this one thread works?

i didn't even read what you wrote, and the people in that pic don't look happy, where do you get that?

I guess that next year will be better...

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

I would have to agree on this. If you want a guarantee that it will be 100% controlled and keep everyone happy, hire Joesho. Obviously there were some unhappy people, a lot it seems. To me is sounds like you not only hired the wrong person to manage the event, you picked the wrong place.

and I just read what you said about security and dress code...and those are avoidable circumstance....i have ran clubs in the past...

but I wasn't there, so i guess I will stop bitching...glad I wasn't there though

Sorry this was all I could find...

thanks for the laugh.

:1orglaugh

It's a really nice club they have there . :glugglug

I would like to send my regards to Helmy

HAHAHAHAHA

OMG that pic is sooooooooooo perfect...

when you rent a place and thow an event YOU call the shots! you guys have to put your feet down when doing an event... whenever we rent a place for an event all shots are called by me, i make sure the people are treated right and taken care of.

Yeah that event was a joke.... the doormen were way out of control on some huge ego trip...... I hope the owner of the club gave good head, because that is all he seemed good for....:2 cents:

time to mitigate the damage huh

Helmy seems great at making these PR statements.

what I like is the post drive by....he doesn't even respond...now THAT is terrible damage control

Thanks for posting a picture, it is nice to see what our party looked like from the inside!

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh ouch

They did Try at the door, Both Lori and Bugbee came and tried to get me in. Those Doorman and management were totally out of control. Mind you, I did not realize there was a dress code, and did wear shorts and sandals. Finally They got me in tru the back door. Once inside I had a great time , Thanks Helmy !!

:1orglaugh Straight to the heart dude

JFK, thanks brother yes I spent pretty much all night running between doors, sponsors, etc. It was a rough one for me. But thanks to all including our sponsors. Keep your eyes peeled for regular updates and threads with video and pictures for all to enjoy.

Later,

Lori had a great hair day!!!
