Who is gonna be doing less traveling this year?
 

Personally I am cutting down my show attendance and stuff.

Last year i did too much and took a mental beating on me.

Got to the point where i coulndt even stand to get on a plane and shit.

2-3 planned so far think that might be it unless its a close show in Canada which is like a 45 min plane ride.

man, i have only been to two shows, and am kinda tired of it already... i got sick in florida and vegas both... i ended up in the room damn near the whole time in vegas from being sick... didnt even get to enjoy it or see anything cool, and it was my first time there :(

Take "Airborne" with you whenever you travel. I take it daily at shows to keep me juiced up.

I love travel and plan to do plenty of it this year.

Ive never been to a show but am planning on going to Amsterdam in September. I have friends in Holland and wanna spend a few extra days visiting. Other than that if I dont sell a shitload of Fleshlights im not going nowhere lol

one of the girls gave me some, but i was already pretty bad sick by then... i heard a few people say that it really does work...

nice to meet ya in 3xtoms room when you & ramos was doing that thing in the bathroom... sorry i wasnt more talkative... i felt like shit that day.

The last show I went to was in Vancouver. I loved the city, but I got a little jaded about the whole "show" aspect of it. I did meet some great people (that was the first time I met Sleazy and DH), but on the other hand, I had negative experiences too. After that experience, I haven't really wanted to go to anything. I always think maybe I'll go, but the time rolls around and I just don't feel it.

Since then, I've been to a party at Chokers house in Orlando, Detroit, upstate NJ, and Atlantic City a few times to meet with webmasters that I consider friends, but honestly, I've lost the fever for the larger webmaster shows. Lately, most of my interactions have been one-on-one with cool people that I enjoy doing biz with. I think I might like to go to Phoenix since it's a smaller show, but I'm on the fence about it and from what I hear, it's sold out...so that will probably make my decision for me. *shrug*

It will be hard for me to travel less as I only went to Montreal last year:) But this year I see myself doing about 3 shows at least. WA Toronto for sure and i'll have to pick the others on a case by case basis.

Haven't got much planned at all for this year travel wise...

Actually, I'd like to travel MORE this year. I'd like to have the time and opportunity to visit Thailand, Europe, and China this year.

Was on the road for like eight months last year. Fuck that, staying put this year.

but is that for biz (shows, conferences, etc) or pleasure?

I've been all about pleasure travelling lately.

Pleasure mostly :) I'd like to meet people for biz as well, though. :thumbsup

that's a spray right?

effervescent? maybe like alka seltzer?

I know after every show, I used to get a wicked flu/cold. Too much kissing, hand-shaking, etc.

its like alkaseltzer... it doesnt taste too terribly bad actually... everybody was telling me to start taking it... they all swear by it... next time i will have some on hand.

Right now the only trips I have planned for industry work is a trip next weekend to Youngstown, OH to photograph a bunch of ladies from Elegant Images Modeling (EIM) and Sinsations.com. Also, sometime this summer will be my annual pilgrimage to FetishCon.

FetishCon details are coming soon at http://www.fetishcon.com

I plan on sticking to only small shows less than 400 miles from my home and keep as much as low profile as possible.

January - Cincinnati, Ohio
Febuary - LA, California
March - Thailand / Philippines
April - Thailand
May - Brazil
June - LA / Cameroon, Africa
July - Cincinnati / Thailand
August - Thailand
September - Brazil / Colombia
October - Cincinnati / LA
November - Thailand
December - Thailand
January 2007 - Vegas / LA / Cincinnati

Yes, looks like it will be a slow travel year for me as well.

You passing through Cincinnati?

i have only 4 shows to consider
miami
vegas
amsterdam
and phoenix

the rest is no option for me right now
I might not make it to phoenix this year but miami and amsterdam are set
Shows are just vacation i can taxdeduct for me... a place to see friends again and make some new ones

Man I slowed down going to the shows/travelling a couple years ago...
A few years ago I figured out I had over 350 hours of flight time that year alone.. ( I figured that out on a plane with shitty inflight movies )

I think I will stay home all year.. lmao..

My travel has changed.

For the past few years, I was flying once a month.
It gets to be very stressful...being on the road every month.

Less shows this year.

More travel to Europe for company meetings. I have a two week trip planned to Zurich in February.....and then we'll see.

JDL gonna be in FL ? or no? :)

on the road again

Juicy are you coming to Amsterdam in Sept? We should meet up, do some gambling if you're coming.

Juicy when are you coming to the SF Bay Area?

I'm going to sit on my ass this year. Not because I'm tired from all the trips last year, but because I will soon be living in a box if I don't stop spending money

im planning to do more.

2-3 vacations for me. I'm used to 3 hr flights. Not looking forward to teh cross country ones this year. :(

i have 8 to do this year.

We were planning on traveling less this year but I don't think it is going to happen. We already have so many things planned and more things just keep popping up.

I'm planning on traveling a hell of a lot more than last year. Can't wait.

most probably the same for me 4 or 5 a year

Less traveling for me for sure!!!!!! Last year was crazyyyy

After traversing 9 countries in 3 months with just a hip pack, it would be hard not to travel less. lol

Man all the shows I see you posting about, I dunno how you do it. I still haven't gone to any shows. There have been a few, that I wanted to go to.. but never did.

I wouldn't mind going to that Costa Rica Show or the Phoenix show but I have too much shit to do and it's hard to get away.

Most of my traveling last year was pleasure, but yes, I'll be cutting down on it. It takes me 1.5 hours each way to get to the airport, then wait in line, then spend the time on the plane, then getting from the plane to the hotel, then lather, rinse, repeat. Mentally I'm just exhausted from traveling. I'd like to go to internationally somewhere but 1-2 times a month was grueling.
