Do I have the wrong hotel? There's nobody at the Diplomat

I thought last year was bad. Attendance has to be down at least 50% from last year's show. Very scary to see. There are more security than attendees.

Am I at the right hotel?

They should charge $1000 a ticket next year to help make up for the lose this year.

Look, are there people around but kind of pale-greenish skin color, kind of rotting and shuffling about slowly saying things like "more brains..."

You may be in the middle of a zombie apocalypse.

qft

people can talk about the economy, social networking and online gaming but the truth is that this industry was gutted by our fellow webmasters and nobody did a thing about it - i'm sure AVN takes Brazzers money happily as do all the cockholsters who do business with them.

idiots who believe Brazzers was sold - heard they picked up Spankwire now.

there is no competing with 'FREE'.

Look at the bright side of it...you kinda insinuated in some threads in the past that you never really liked the crowded noisy shows and so you didn't go to many. Now you can relax with a nice peaceful couple of days at the beach there in Ft. Lauderdale.

Shap, 1500 people are in the hotel. Mostly toy vendors, and very few Internet related in my opinion.

The highlight for me is the guy selling the TiT ice sculpture molds. I have to have one. You pour liquor on the top and you suck on the nipples. A must have for every tit fanactic.

Grab a couple pics so it can set in for everyone.

Theo	08-06-2010 06:14 PM

Shap, mail me at theo @ avn.com to arrange a meeting. We can go through on who attends the event and you'll see this is by far the largest event in the industry including Internet decision. We'll post an updated list of ppl with the end of it.

Wow. Glad I did not go then.

I normally hit this show every year, but been so busy with things recently simply could not justify being gone for 4 days considering all the stuff that needs to be done. I will simply enjoy an extra week of vacation in a month or so.

I thought Vegas was bad this past Jan. Florida show was slow last year. I can only imagine how slow this year from the people I am hearing the report from. Vegas next year show be even more eye opening.
:Oh crap

Sounds like 2011 will be some show consolidation, or elimination.

08-06-2010 06:38 PM

Shap I feel your pain...

This show blows. I was really expecting a little improvement over the past couple but this really sucks. I feel sorry for the exhibitors I spoke to. Thank God I attended for vacation instead of business. Great Adult Shows R.I.P.

You know how shows are, everyone is at a "dinner" between 4pm and 11pm.

the sky did fall...

and yes, the economy is also playing a large roll, but FREE has destroyed this industry and you have no one but yourselfs to blame for allowing it to happen... :2 cents:

i would be crying right now if i hadnt switched to mainstream years ago....

Shaaaaaap!!!!! I'm going to look for you later, have some possible biz to discuss with you. Yes, the show is a major disappointment, more vendors for novelty toys than anything. Image if they didn't merge the shows together? Hardly any web companies here.

As I said a few days ago, I already heard from an inside source that this is probably the last AVN summer show. Pre-reg was at an all time low.

08-06-2010 07:02 PM

yes but imagine all the dick sucking going on there right now with that massive tribe of manwin knob polishers that went to the show. of the 100 people there 60 of them are from manwin. fucking hilarious i bet watching them try to sell that worthless trafficjunky inventory to the 40 people forced into their conversations. ha.

If you think about it...all those toy companies and novelty companies could be the next bunch to sell that traffic to. They've pretty much played out everything else. And those toy companies could use some mass traffic.

underage surfers dont buy toys, no credit card, and neither do men, unless they're gay and wanna jam stuff up the ass. you don't remember seeing fleshlights on there like crazy a while back man?

Here are some lovely examples of why this industry sucks:

This sentence, or attempt at a sentence, is very poorly written--what, exactly, does this mean?

Anyone want to take a stab at parsing that?

And how about this:

"ppl" I guess the person writing this--someone who apparently represents AVN--means "people", but he or she seems to imagine they're texting one of their pals, not addressing a respected figure in the industry. And "with the end of it"... with the end of what?

Maybe I'm being too harsh, but on the other hand isn't this just another example of "sic transit gloria mundi"?

In all seriousness, same here, not as many people but all it takes is 1 deal and it was worth it, or meeting a couple people you do biz with that you have never seen before.

I met both of my gateway providers, made 2 deals for more sales, met about a dozen people in the biz I didn't know ever existed and met a guy who gave me a one on one lesson about shooting at the craps tables. That was all in 8 hours on my first day.

Can't wait to see what tommorow brings.

If you just look at shows to see how many, how big and lavish the parties are, yes, this is the wrong show for you.

If that is your biggest problem with the industry, life must be really good for Marco. Congratulations, I'm glad you're doing well.

Sorry, I was indeed texting (iphone) while talking with TheLegacy when I posted. I meant to say "division" and not "decision". To answer your question... "with the end of the event".

All times are GMT -7. The time now is 10:52 PM.
