I really want to go. Then of course there might be more expenses for me being BabyMaker! lol, to make it fun, might have to invest in a bunch of over-the-top pimp suits

I am one cheap SOB and have never felt like I had wasted money going to Vegas to meet board members.
The next show is XBIZ Summer Forum in July and it's a good show with lots of meals and drinks paid for.
$150 for the show, rooms last year at the hotel were in the $130 a night rang (Useless Celtic Tiger and I stayed off site and saved like $50 a night). I find the biggest expense is what is spent on gambling

Thanks for the kind words Red Cherry and T-Pat.

I didn't get to meet Ramster

Funny thing is...I didn't come to this place find friends . I had no idea what was in store for me.

More good times. I promise

What I got out of Vegas...oh wait I didn't get to go

Some of us poor porn peddlers (say that 3 times fast) were up to our eyes in html (or as my wife calls it "Lining up Asses")

Sounds like you guys had a blast.Guess I'm going have to get off my ass and get to the next one.

For me, Internext Vegas is always a blur. the timing is terrible since it falls directly after CES. So, personally I just use the time to hang out with my board buddies.

Xbiz on the other hand is not only a great value $$ wise but it is very well organized with relevant seminars and lots of time for getting together and discussing business.

It was great seeing everyone and I'm glad everyone had a great time. I was a little scattered at my organization but look at it this way.. we were bar hopping thru the Orleans..

Also, let me just say I saw a historic moment in porn history when UW & XXXJay actually shook hands. Don't let UW fool you.. his board bark is far worse than his bite--just ask Preacher.

What I got out of Vegas... other than what I already said here: Vegas Morning Thread.

The thing that amazes me most is the need for people to comment on how much Useless Warrior and I are alike. Two grown men with shaved heads and facial hair can no longer walk hand-in-hand down a casino without people assuming that they are two gay twins.

Let me say this loud and clear, we are different!

I think I can better explain our differences with a picture rather than words, so please view this image!

Thank you!

Love Preacher

Oh, and I got to meet my favorite pornstar of all time...

(and no, she obviously is not the one in the picture!)
