At Internext in January...

[Evil Chris]

Firstly, who is planning on attending?

Also, is GG&J having a hospitality suite this year?

[RawAlex]

I am planning to attend (but I haven't booked anything yet, which might put me in the shit)... considering the fucked up nature of the show this year, I think hospitality quites are going to be pretty rare... entirely rare in fact.

Alex

[docholly]

hmm this brings up a very good point..

Hey |greenguy| can you hit me on icq.. When you get back from cleaning out the poker pockets in Canada and when you hit for 14-0 in the pool this week.. |pimpin

thanks

[Cleo]

I'll be in Florida enjoying our winter climate.

[ep2002]

Hi guys,

I'm new to the board.

Good to see other Canadians around.

Question... I can't remember b/c I haven't ever gone, but is Internext the adult show, or just a regular internet show?

Re: the adult show, what is it called & when is it EVER going to come to Toronto?

Thanks

ME too |waves|

[DannyCox]

We booked long ago, and have our rooms at the Venetian.

Alex, you can stay with me ;)

[Jim]

I'll be in Florida enjoying our winter climate.
As I will be in NY enjoying the snow :) I will not give AVN a dime again.

[Jim]

Besides, I have dogs :)

[Useless]

I am told that I'll be there (by my wife) but I'm still paddling down the same creek as RawAlex - I haven't booked yet.

[SirMoby]

I'm going and trying to find a baby sitter so that I can bring Nataliya. We're planning on staying at teh Venitian but I have a lot of friends staying at a hotel down the street for about 1/2 and might change my mind.

[Dr Bizzaro]

If Moby's wife is going, I'll be there.... |thumb


We get in 1/3 and leave on 1/9. Staying at Venetian.

Should be an interesting show this year with so much going on.

Expect the price gouging to be at an all time high.

[Useless]

If Moby's wife is going, I'll be there.... |thumb I've heard good things. ;)

[Greenguy]

...We get in 1/3 and leave on 1/9. Staying at Venetian...Me too! Wanna sleep over?

As far as a party, since Jim has dogs, I might throw a Link O'Rama party :D

[Dr Bizzaro]

Yeah, I'm sure your room will be much nicer then mine.
I dont take up much room. Ask Extreme John. Just a spot on the floor will do.


LOR party? I'm down for that too.

[Cleo]

Maybe Jim can just send his dogs

[emmanuelle]

Arriving the 3rd, leaving the 9th

[emmanuelle]

btw- Orbitz.com has some good packages out of Montreal

[Linkster]

Be there the same dates - in the 3rd out the 9th - thinking maybe we can make a LOR/LFS party if youre up for it GG :)
Maybe we could talk to one of the posters around here and get the Hun to kick in LOL

[Torn Rose]

Someone here knows thehun? who would that be?

[SirMoby]

I've heard good things. ;)
Did you hear things frm Green Guy about my Asian wife or Dr. B. about my lovely Ukrainian wife? :) The Ukrainian one is much prettier and lot more fun to have around.

[RawAlex]

Moby, are you collecting?

Alex

[furrygirl]

I'll be arriving the 4th and leaving the 8th, and hopefully Tasty Trixie will be my roommate at TI. :D

We may or may not chose to menstruate that week, I guess we'll have to decide that later. (Yes folks, the two bleedy whores are synched up for double trouble!)

[RawAlex]

*DING* *DING* DING* The too much information bell is now ringing.

Alex

[Useless]

Did you hear things frm Green Guy about my Asian wife or Dr. B. about my lovely Ukrainian wife? :) The Ukrainian one is much prettier and lot more fun to have around.As I recall, that's EXACTLY how I heard it. ;) I'm pretty sure GG referred to her as Asian and DrB said something like "what the hell are you talking about? She's Ukranian". Either way, the consensus seemed to say that she's an attractive woman.

[Cleo]

SirMoby is straight???

Hmmm, bloody and furry. There must be a reality site in there someplace.

I wonder if anyone would pay a membership to see an old plump whore at the gym every other day?

[Greenguy]

Did you hear things frm Green Guy about my Asian wife...Yet another on the long list of reasons I no longer drink :D

[Ramster]

Yes I'll be there, staying at the Venetian. Wife is trying to get her Mother to fly in to babysit so she can go too.

[funsmut]

Can't miss that show!! it should be fun plus the AVN show will be rocking too. See you all there....

[GUNNER]

four years in a row at Internext Vegas for me - I haven't decided on this one yet.

[Greenguy]

I was going thru some old clothes to donate some stuff to the Buffalo City Mission & I found a very nice Cybererotica IA2000 shirt from my 1st convention in 99 :D

[Platinum Bryan]

I'll be there!!

[SirMoby]

Just because I think Foxy Angel is hot doesn't mean I'm a switch hitter :) The furry midget doesn't do much for me though.

[Mizz B]

Internext was no fun last year. We're going to Australia instead.

[Dr Bizzaro]

I was going thru some old clothes to donate some stuff to the Buffalo City Mission & I found a very nice Cybererotica IA2000 shirt from my 1st convention in 99 :D

I still have both of my Greenguy Tshirts from way back when.

One is in tatters, (From 2002?) but the other is holding up. |greenguy|

[Greenguy]

I think the 2002 version was the last one - I'll have to go look at my collection :)

[Linkster]

I still have both of my Greenguy Tshirts from way back when.



I'm still waiting for mine :D

[DannyCox]

My old GG shirt just doesn't fit anymore :(

It must have shrunk!!

[RawAlex]

tee-hee... Well, I guess the big news is that Aly is no longer doing the AVN thing... so now we really have nobody to bitch at about the show. I have a feeling that this will be another step to end up with the video and internet shows running at the same time in the same places rather than running seperate shows in the end. After all, the internet is just another revenue stream.. or should I say DVDs are just another revenue stream for net porn? ;)

Alex

[Linkster]

Alex - I saw that she had left them and teamed up with Rick - damn good move for her in my opinion :) Im sure there will be the same "underlying principles" at work for Internext though as I have always believed she served as AVNs buffer when they saw the unrest growing - and I hated it for her.

[Greenguy]

Think about the last few Vegas shows that you've went to - did you really need the badge?

The floor is not what it used to be, the badge itself does not get you into any parties as everyone's gone the route of the "party pass"

It serves no purpose what-so-ever.

I doubt I'll even be getting one this year :D

I agree and that's been totally true for the last few years, but now that things are combined, it might be different. I think AVN has figured out people aren't down with the inflated cost of badges, and might try and pull something sneaky.

In Miami this year, I about got into it with the Badge-Nazis at the Westin. The fact I was a paying guest of the hotel wasn't enough. You had to show the room key AND the badge.

[SirMoby]

In Miami this year, I about got into it with the Badge-Nazis at the Westin. The fact I was a paying guest of the hotel wasn't enough. You had to show the room key AND the badge.
I wondered what would happen to a guest that was not allowed into the hotel at all. The law suit that would have hit had they denied access to a paying guest would be very bad publicity.

[RawAlex]

Moby, actually - no. The requirement to get a room was to be part of the internext group. Failure to have a badge made you not part of the internext group, which means you obtained the reservation through fraudulent means (you claimed to be part of a group that you then refused to be part of).

I don't think the hotel or AVN would be on the hook at that point - people booked and showed up knowing it was a "hotel takeover".

I think AVN learned something from Miami. The hotel was not a sell out (rooms were available 2 days before the show book direct with the hotel), and the attendance for the event was down overall. The show at Mandalay was such a screw up that it taught people to work without badges. Huge numbers of people spent their day hanging out in the middle bar and in the hallway leading to the show. No need to pay AVN $X for a badge if seeing the show floor isn't in your plans.

Now, this time, the "internext" badge will (apparently) also get you access to the video show, so there is some additional value. But if the badges are still $300, then I will have to make other arrangements. Paying for a badge at that price is truly outside the realm of "value".

Alex

[Greenguy]

I think I'm going to apply for one of those free "Press" badges just to see what happens. Hell, this site is for webmasters & I'm sure I could write up an article on my show experience.

Maybe I'll have a contest to get badges for "contributing editors" as well :D

I can be a contributing Editor. |thumb

Can mine say "Pull", instead of Press, with an arrow pointing down?

[Greenguy]

$170 to walk the floor my ass!

Media Registration Coming Soon |thumb

[emmanuelle]

I had a press pass for the AVN show last year. It's amazing how differently one is treated, as well as the swag they give you -lol

[SirMoby]

Last year the show floor was small. I took me longer to walk to the floor then walk the floor.

I need to become an editor

[Greenguy]

[emmanuelle]

Generally just a reference that can be checked. If you claim to be affiliated with a magazine, they may want you to fax a copy of your article & byline, or a phone number of someone that they can confirm this with.

I received mine from the camera crew that was following me around last year. They simply added me to their roster.

Maybe Alex can designate you his 'muse' and you can piggyback on his xbiz credentials |cool|

[Greenguy]

Hopefully 2.5 years of "news" from this site will be good enough - lol

[boobster]

not sure if anybody cares, but I may show up this year.. finally! ...

[Greenguy]

Oh - back to the original topic of this thread - I will probably do something in conjunction with other board members as far as a get-together of people from our little community & I'll be starting a list of who's going & whatnot in December & being the asshole that I am, I'll probably base who I invite on how many posts they have :D

[Preacher]

I'll probably base who I invite on how many posts they haveIs that numer 125? :D Cause I'm still debating making the drive.

-Preacher

[Greenguy]

That really all depends on where you finish in Fantasy Football :D

[DannyCox]

How'd I end up on GFY?? |huh

[Linkster]

Danny LOL - did sound a little "familiar" :)

[Useless]

Every time we begin to discuss Internext, I want to go. But each time, as the thread grows, I am reminded of the reasons I have never bothered to go before. I really hate spending money on stupid shit, especially when I could invest that money into my house or something important, like a bigger tv.

[Greenguy]

How'd I end up on GFY?? |huhIf I actually read GFY I might have some clue what you were talking about :)


Useless - it really is a good time - sorta like my Pool House without Jim :D

[Torn Rose]

Useless I have been to Vegas Internext 2 times and honestly unless you gamble and really like to gamble, it may not be worth going to. Yes you get to meet a lot of people and yes there’s always a good party, but weigh that versus the $3000 to $5000 it will cost.

We was going to go, but we decided we would much rather save our money and spend it on a 2 week vacation to the Pacific Northwest in May, I know I will spend less then half in 2 weeks in the PNW then I will spend in 4-5 days in Vegas.

That’s my opinion on it, but if you do go, no way in hell would I spend a dime on anything with AVN especially the floor passes, so not worth it.

[Greenguy]

Jim's posting using Torn's username again.

[Torn Rose]

That was being hurtful....

[Useless]

Useless - it really is a good time - sorta like my Pool House without Jim :DWell, that would be fun. ;)
That was being hurtful....I'm pretty sure he meant it to be.

I go through this every time, but that is probably due to my mental instability. Part of me wants a floor pass because I've never seen the floor, but I keep hearing that it isn't worth it. So, if I can avoid paying for a pass that will gain me nothing, I won't get one. I'm also afraid that I'll spend three days in my hotel room watching tv because I won't know where all the fun people are. Well, I know where GG will be - gambling along with DrB. (Just a guess) Sandy wants me to go pretty badly, but that has to do with her feeling guilty for being there right now without me.

[Greenguy]

DrB will be with me, but only because he's sleeping on my floor :D

Since you don't have a cell phone, you'd be the last one anyone called (if they even bothered to call) so you might as well stay home with your pal Jim |thumb

[Preacher]

Well, I know where GG will be - gambling along with DrB.
Well judging by previous experience, the Venetian will probably only have $25 minimum hand tables. So if I do make it, I'll be downtown playing $5/hand Pai Gow Poker at Binion's.

You'll be able to find me in between the chain smoking hooker and the drunk that can barely speak English and hasn't had a proper shower in 4 days.

|pimpin

[Greenguy]

I've played $5 & $10 Black Jack at The Venetian during Internext & AVN

[Useless]

Since you don't have a cell phone, you'd be the last one anyone called (if they even bothered to call) so you might as well stay home with your pal Jim |thumbNow that really hurts. |cry| Pick on Torn again. That always brings a smile to my face.

[Preacher]

Since you don't have a cell phone, you'd be the last one anyone called
Why would Useless need a cell phone? |pokefun|

I've played $5 & $10 Black Jack at The Venetian during Internext & AVN
Hmmm...Well last time I stayed there, and mind you it was over a weekend, come 8pm they closed down all the $5/10 tables and set the minimum to $25. So we shot downtown and slummed it. The slums suit me better anyway!

[Greenguy]

As far as I know, most casino's raise the minimum's at night - even the ones up here do that.

[Useless]

Why would Useless need a cell phone?My point exactly. Until very recently, I've been within a few feet of my home phone at all times, except when I'm bringing the kids to school. Out of the very few people who call me, no one needs me immediately. I am a horribly unimportant person.

[Preacher]

I need you Useless! |lovers|

[Platinum Bryan]

I look forward to meet alot of you in January, should be fun!

[Linkster]

Im not sure how many people Ill have on the floor sleeping :)

Useless - I think it is worth it to go to the floor once in your life - of course in Vegas (at least at the V) there is a secondary "meeting place" at the round bar in the center of the casino - usually stocked with a large group of crazies and is a good place to find people even if your own parties have closed up at 3 am or so.
It will be interesting to see if AVN plans on continuing the tradition of trying to feed everyone as part of the cost of the floor ticket and as well - tries to make sure no one can get into anything without that ticket. They seemed to be able to control it in Fla - but this being a triple convention with the CES exhibits also at the V this time it will be a tough road for them.

[Greenguy]

...It will be interesting to see if AVN plans on continuing the tradition of trying to feed everyone as part of the cost of the floor ticket and as well - tries to make sure no one can get into anything without that ticket....They've tried that in the past in Vegas & failed miserably. While you can not officially hold a party unless you have a booth, you can hold your own party that's not advertised on their website & just invite who you want to.

Think about it - you run a program & you want to take care of your affiliates by throwing a party. Why the fuck would you want AVN to advertise it & let every fucknut with a badge in for free food & booze? Send out an email or some passes with the checks & you're good to go |thumb

[Linkster]

GG - I totally agree - what I was wondering was if AVN themselves would be running the dining rooms like they did in Fla for floor badge holders - basically since they had the run of the hotel (which I noticed they are trying to get sponsors for some unusual things as well in Vegas - like toilet paper) they were able to actually serve a pretty good free breakfast and lunch in the large ballrooms - but figure since they dont have the complete run of the hotel in Vegas - it seemsthat they would have trouble justifying the cost of the badges being higher

[Greenguy]

"Greenguy & Jim Toilet Paper" does have a nice ring to it :)

[Torn Rose]

maybe that's where you got the rotten crouch?

[SirMoby]

Well, that would be fun. ;)

Having been to 'the floor' three times in the past three years, I have to say that I really enjoyed it the first time, probably because it was all so new and so exciting (me and Url were pretty wide-eyed first time round), but I was a little disappointed as to how much less there was to see and do the second time, and totally dismayed with last year's offerings. If you aren't brassy enough to have made connections, Vegas can be a pretty lonely place.

Not being a party person, and pretty shy about inviting myself to webmaster gatherings, I can't say as the Vegas Internext trip is worthwhile. Other than the great deals on accommodation the past few years...which appear to have dried up this time around...and the pure fun of visiting Vegas for a couple of days, I can think of dozens of places I'd rather spend the $$$

[docholly]

I don't understand the timing.. i mean really if they have to hold one in August.. then hold Vegas 6 months later.. not 4 months..

February or march would give new programs time to gather resources and get booths..certainly would be Cheaper when we aren't covered with CES and i understand AVN being held at the same time as CES to cover the 128k wankers in one place is hard to ignore.

But you no sooner get back from Florida than you have to start diverting resources for Vegas..and it's right after the holiday when people are short cash anyway..and like retail our most lucrative times are from Oct to Feb when everyone is huddled inside.

Plus the weather here SUX in january.. Last year our rooms in the Luxor were flooded.. we had to move to the tower because we had 9 inches (which is always a good thing!!) of rain that week.

oh well.. as long as i'm here, Party on, Dude.. |headbang|

[Dr Bizzaro]

Useless, don't listen to Torn. He's just sick of everyone ditching him when he's there.

It's always a good time. The drinking, the parties, the networking, seeing friends you only see once or twice a year....

No Jim. No Torn. Need I say more.

If I have a pull out sofa in my suite, you're welcome to crash on that for a few nights to cut your costs down. (This offer only applies to Useless.)

[Greenguy]

maybe that's where you got the rotten crouch?How many times to I have to tell you that my bending & squatting is not rotten?

[Greenguy]

...(This offer only applies to Useless.)What about his wife & her hot ass |thumb

Doc, more money is made off the video / public show in a single year than has ever been made off of all the webmaster shows in the last 5 years, I am sure.

Just think of all the lookie-loos coming through the door at $25 a head... it's amazing.

Alex

[emmanuelle]

Useless: It's pretty easy to get a free or reduced floor pass. If there is a program that you push with some heart, they may pick up your pass for you. Also, booth owners receive a few extra passes free, and are able to purchase extras at a very reduced rate. Find a booth owner and ask them to put you on their list- you should be able to get your pass for $50 then.

it's funny but Adultcon and autograph signing are here at the same time as SEMA/AAPEX (the auto aftermarket show) which has just about 120K attendees in November. Directly across from the LVCC.. what's amusing is all the booty shorts girls from the booths running across to the Rivera/Sahara at 5pm to get "noticed" by the adult movie company reps.

Guess I'll Schlep Chyna to both this year.. SEMA for fortune and Adultcon to get fame....
