Thursday, the smoking Gestapo was in full force, even outside I was asked to extinguish while waiting for my $18 cheeseburger and $7.50 beer sitting next to the railing by the beach 8 feet from the "designated smoking section"
Friday, Sat & Sun they seemed to not give a shit about smoking outside but I was embarrassed at seeing how many smokers just threw their butts anywhere with no respect whatsoever. No wonder people hate smokers. Most of them are inconsiderate slobs with no respect for others property.
The free Internet in the room was OK. (not wireless) I did a speed test and the upload was actually faster than the down. 1meg up and like 6-700kbs down. Enough to do what I needed to do.
I didn't know the show floor had breakfast until we already ate at the restaurant. They had a killer breakfast buffet. Anything you could want. Even fresh made waffles and omelets. Cost was $20.00 but included fresh squeezed OJ :-) The waitresses in there were very good & nice too.
Unlike the waitresses by the pool bar whom you had to hunt down and lasso in order to get another drink. I experienced this last time I was there.
The show was plenty big enough for me. Lots of idiots running around. I got to catch up with some "old school" friends at the show as well as meet a few new faces to put with names I've met here and other boards.
The seminars I went to were somewhat informative if you could read through the bullshit.
The wet t shirt contest Sponsored by Platinum was crazy off the hook. I enjoyed that. I was very drunk though from the sound of my voice after watching and listening to the footage i took the next day. :-)
The bikini contest was OK, very very tame, and fucking sweltering hot as hell. at least 99% humidity. I literally had to have a towel from the cabana to stop the steady stream of sweat pouring off me and onto my camera. Thanks to my old friend Alen from LootDaddy to letting me hang out at his cabana and giving me a towel.
All in all i give the show a 5 out of 10.
cheers,
BV
