Sorry - it's an ongoing joke around here with AVN & the uselessness of their shows.

If it's useless that's good to know. I would like to attend one of the shows some time but Vegas is too far

You realize you can get a ticket to Vegas for less then $350 which is the cost of the badge in Miami right? I bet if you look into it enough, Vegas will be the cheaper show.

Not for Linkster who lives just west of 'Bama.. he's driven out 2 or 3 times a year for the past few years. Including this past January in a horrible snow/ice storm that closed down I-40 .. just to surprise all of us once again!!

Linkster is my Hero!!

Hmmm, I'm not laughing. But I might be a bit biased. I think any gathering of adult webmasters, and the industry in general has some value, somewhere. If, at even it's basest level, it says "here we are, openly discussing this thing you would have eliminated, if you could."

Very true. I usually treat shows as a vacation and meet up with my friends from the industry I deal with on a somewhat daily basis. That is where the value comes in.

However AVN has been bad in it's treatment of "webmasters". When shows first started and I was $1000-3000 a month I could afford to attend a show. Now webmasters making that cannot, it is just too expensive and I think that is where the beef comes in regarding AVN. Inflating badge costs from $100 to $250-300 doesn't help neither.

I don't want to get into it again - there's 3 or 4 radio shows from the end of 2005 & beginning of 2006 as well as numerous threads where we discuss the mess that is Miami is August & how we're an afterthought in Vegas in January.

Well, that's probably true.

I have been to Internext in Miami 04 and 05 and 06. I don't think I will make 07.

The Las Vegas XBiz show is mid-week, so hotel prices and airfares are low. It is going to be fuck awful hot for all of you that are not used to desert heat [its a dry heat!! but you cook turkey in dry heat -- 105 is still fucking hot]
but I really like XBiz for its casual, business friendly atmosphere. And its low cost relative to other shows.
