A question to some of you who attended Internext...
 

How in god's name do you manage to drink 24 fucking 7? I can't even imagine wanting to spend as much money as it costs to attend or even exibit at such events and then spend the entire time so wasted you can't possibly do any business.

I watched as one person introduced themselves to someone (Not naming names) three (Yes three) fucking times and the drunk swore up and down they'd never met before (This was all during a 4 hour period).

I guess more importantly then how, is why the hell would you do this? Don't you even consider how unprofessional it comes off? How about when you make a complete ass in front of non-industry people? How's it look on the rest of us who are responsible?

And to whomever that fuckwad snorting coke on the round bar on Sunday night was.. I hope someone hits you with a Mack fucking truck. Fucking idiot. Keep that shit in private.

I dont drink , all i had were those red energy red bull thingies

You were just too damn sexy for me to introduce myself to you. I was overwhelmed. :(

Refer to Aaron's post.. Lol actually I remember one guy who was there at the round bar one of the times we were there for more than 30 minutes, he walked up to myself and someone else and attempted to introduce himself. He was SO hammered we couldn't make out more than a mumble, and I mean it wasn't because he was quiet.. he literally could not speak he was so hammered.. THAT I don't get, but then again I've never really been a drinker (even when I'm not pregnant).

so who snorted coke?

yeah there was one idiot who was fucking hammred whom i meet the first night i dont know who the fuck he was but what an ass i really wish i got his name so i could just ignore him!

If you can't hang, don't drink

How about the ones throwing fruit at other people during breakfast, or throwing bread across the entire restaurant and pouring drinks all over the table and pouring drinks on people and so on...

why does a person let themself get to that point? Do you really feel you can hold your head up high the next day knowing you made such a great impression on those people?

Was I that drunk....4 times...are you serious????

Whitney houston

Yup..and you didn't even recognize Peggy :1orglaugh

It wasn't you, sorry to disappoint. I was totally blown away by it, I mean, I've seen drunk but the level of excess that some people were showing was simple stupidity. I have to admit there were far fewer drunks then there were at the first show I attended, which was Cybernet in Montreal, however many of the same drunks were just as drunk at Internext..... Sad, why even go to shows?

BTW, nice meeting you, Jim - I'm the one whose son is going into the USAF and you gave him some AWESOME advice! Thanks!! :)

:eek2

That was exactly my reaction. The prick even had the nerve to offer my pregnant wife some. Good thing she didn't point him out to me or there would have been serious drama.

After every convention it's these same old threads. Drunk idiots are everywhere, not just in this industry. Get use to it.

Those are the newbies that get drunk. The veterans go stoned.

:rasta

I was sober 100% of the time, this time around...hell last year all I got was a good buzz.

But you're right, I can't imagine spending that much money and energy if I were a big sponsor only to spend the time so wasted you don't recall people you met.

Oh yeah I remember that now.. I just gave him a dirty look and walked away.. For some reason mumbling dude stuck more in my head :P

Damn Aaron looks so young there :)

Nah, can't have been. quiet wasn't there.

Lol!

Yeah public displays of stupidity at these shows is not cool and just hurt the rep of the person or sponsor who they work for. But like someone already said, this is nothing new, and it will keep happening show after show.

You could have asked da ole uno for the intro. I would have hooked you up jact.

Its that youthful, angelic glow.

I was too busy trying to keep you from manhandling me, fucking weirdo!

Glow? Is AaronM preggo?:)

!?

Drinking is a good thing
