Xbiz2008 -- News and Photo Thread.

[T Pat]

It was the funnest show I've been to so far, even with the loud ass music and fire alarms
The old lady made $600 so she was happy (of course she gave half back)
Like every show I've been to, I came out of it with a big todo list
bdok - Nice meeting you had a great chat over coffee, if I still lived in San Diego I'd be picking your brain constantly
BeaverBob - Glade to meet and I'm thrilled the RSS Feeds are back, I was enjoying looking at that hotties tits you were chatting with at the bar, then I heard you say "we can take my car" as far as I know your the only one that scored at the show
Blubrit - Dude you have stamina, it was a pleasure meeting, sharing drinks and theories
D2222 - As dedicated as you are your going to do ok, just hang in there
DocHolly - Las Vegas should pay you for being the perfect hostess
Emerald - It was great to finale meet, I like your man and Vivian's leg is fine
Greenie and Bitch - You guy's always go out of your way to make the wife and I feel like we belong, Thank You
Jack - Vivian said she enjoyed talking to you, I just want to know how many and what's pierced
JustRobert - Thanks for sharing birthday drinks with me, I was bummed when we learned you had left first thing in the A.M.
KatVixen - It was a pleasure getting to know you and for now on when I'm asked about my political beliefs I'll just refer them to you
MadHatter - Enjoyed our little coffee clutch, hope the shoulder gets better soon (getting old sucks)
Mr and Mrs Marylou - Your my rock and the Misses made Vivian feel like family
PapaGMP - Yes I love ya but am still a little freaked out, first time I touched another mans dick
Preacher - Loved the collar and am happy for you and your upcoming announcement (actually I'm sure it will add to my bottom line too)
Ramster - You always strike me as a man of Character and Class, one of these days I'm going to get a chance to really pick your brain
RedCherry - You have the warmest smile of anyone I've ever met, we need to do some link trading. Vivian used the dog shampoo, good stuff made her puppies fur soft and she doesn't smell like puppy anymore
TekAngel and Christina - Thanks for the company and the dinner, were looking forward to our mini vacation
Torn - It was good getting to know you and sharing drinks, learned a lot about the industry from you and also learned that when you say that's all I can say, you mean it!
VirgoHippie - Hugs Hippy, I thought about the new project you were talking about, give me a couple more days and I'll give you a big head start
Yell - Your funny and I mean that in you made me laugh a whole bunch kind of way, you were also the only person I had little problem hearing over that loud ass music

Meeting those of you that went to Xbix 2008 was awesome.

What I got from Xbiz 2008:

DocHolly is still skeptical of Preaches claims.
Torn has sexy nipples
TPat loves me when he's drunk
Don't fuck with the doc.
The "Bitch" has a problem with the way Greenie smells
Virgo likes Jack
Don't piss MML off!

Joanna Angel looks like my ex-wife's little sister - no wonder I have a "sister" thing

And last but not least - I'm still an ASS MAN

Oh - and I almost forgot - if you hold a "talent contest" for porn "talent" - BRING A FUCKING MATTRESS and put something in their mouth if they try to talk!

P.S. Preacher is a great date!

BTW, What lens did you have on the 200 there in the suite?

It was the Nikon AF-S Nikor 28-70mm 1:2.8 D

The older version not digital version. I also have the older 17-35 f 2.8 and the digital version 17-55 f 2.8 (which is for sale) and the 70-200 that I used on the talent (lol) contest.

the 28-70 works out to be in the 35-105 range ands works wonderfully for most indoor and portrait work.

[Tekster]

This was my first show, and all I have to say is WOW!

A little bit overwhelming, and I think that the excitement of meeting everyone got the best of me. I did not talk a lot of business, but mostly listened and tried to learn from all the veterans. My head is still spinning from all the buzz. What a bunch of great people, I am not going to name everyone, but I am so glad that I met all of you! (You know who you are.

I do have to say Thank You, to Greenie and The Bitch, for being such good hosts, and making us feel welcome. I still feel like a kid that met all his superheros.

I just wish I spent more time talking with everyone, but since I will try and be there next time also, I will make up for lost time.

Here are some of the pics me and my wife took:

Tek..you got great pictures!!!

I love this one of Preacher..

and the best were the ones of MrsTek and MrsTPat standing in the "Women in Porn" booth.

[Tekster]

Thanks docholly, "Women in Adult" are my favorite pics also!

[Greenguy]

All I know is that there's a shitload of convention photos of me from the last 9 years & for some fucking reason, I have a cold sore in 1/2 of them

I'd make a rotten crotch joke, but I think most of you have met my wife

This used to happen to me a lot at conventions when I was drinking, but I find it hard to believe that I missed Papa's cock & Gut Rubbing at a party that I hosted!

HOW COME I NEVER GET TO HAVE ANY FUN

Tell me about it. Every time I make the drive to Vegas I break out with pimples like a teenage girl. And now that I'm shaving my head, it starts peeling almost instantly because of the heat and dry weather.

I'm far more beautiful at home on the fog filled central coast.

[bDok]

Totally unrelated... But upon looking at pictures with preacher in them... there is something about the left side of his face. Male or Female are drawn to lick or kiss it.

Look for the proof in preacher avatar, useless avatar, and this picture for proof. I'm sure there are others out there that I just don't have the time to find.

very interesting.

Sure - but I'm cuter!

[Toni KatVixen]

I just wanted to add that it was great to meet everyone.....Torn listed them, thankfully, because I would totally screw that up.

I've been totally buried in work and playing catch up, so this is coming later then I wanted.

But at this time we are making plans for next years XBiz, just so we can see everyone again, it reminded us of the main reason why we go to these things. Damn I have missed visiting with Buffalo crowd. I had a blast talking to everyone and....if you couldn't tell that I lost my voice in the process, but I so do love to talk.

[Mateusz]

Damn... looks like you all had great fun again. Nice photos!
I wish I'll able to meet you all in person once they remove the visa thing :/

Well better late than never, Emmy and I are organised enough up here that I have a few spare minutes to get our xbiz comments posted.

I'll put my hands up in advance though and admit we mixed our pics up with some we had saved from other peoples so there could well be duplicates here. Either way thanks to all for the photos posted, Emmy and I had a great time meeting you all and were looking forward to doing it all over again next time.

Xbiz photos

In no particular order we made a few comments about those we met... All good

Greenie and the Bitch.
Always the perfect hosts to Emmy and I when we visit. It was a pleasure to join you both for the trip down to Vegas for xbiz and our mini break afterwards but next time we do it, Emmy insists on winning at least once

Torn and KatVixen.
Bearing in mind this was our first ever meeting, the two of you made Emmy and I feel very welcome and we appreciated that and we share your feelings about meeting up again very soon. The two of you made a hell of an impression on us and the doors open any time you want to come north and shovel some snow with us Hell we may even feed you and open a bottle or two

Ramster
Great to meet you again and were looking forward to seeing you at Greenies if your able to make it.

D2222
I think we just about had time to say hi and bye before you were gone again but it was good talking with you and it was nice to be able to put a face to the name at long last.

DocHolly
Thanks for getting Emmy out of my hair by dragging her off to bingo In truth it was a pleasure to meet both you and RD at long last.

Tijuana Pat and Mrs. T Pat (Vivian) I believe.
What can i say? We had a hell of a laugh at the bar and just about everywhere else we met up during xbiz. Meeting you and your good lady was a pleasure and I enjoyed swapping ideas with you about marketing even more porn. Maybe next time we won't be so drunk the next morning... I blame it on your birthday rather than my stamina

Yell
Always a pleasure to see you even though people say FUCK YOU a lot when your around

MML and Jean
Always good talking with someone who really understands FS builders and LL owners in the biz. Maybe we should get you on the panel of one of the seminars at xbiz next year to point out that there are other marketing strategies beyond the limited number they discussed!!!

Cathy and Peter.
That was our first ever meeting but like every other person Emmy and I have ever met in this business, you guys are really nice and it was great to spend time talking with you.

TekAngel and Wife
We had a few talks both about the business and things beyond it. Both times I was impressed by your knowledge and it was a nice to spend time with you both.

VirgoHippy and JustRobert
Once again we had a great time with you guys. We were sorry you were ill the next morning Robert but were looking forward to seeing you and your good lady very soon.

Preacher
With or without the collar it was great to meet you at long last. We have talked on the board a number of times and it was good to finally put a face to the person behind the messages.

PapaGMP and Jack
Damn good to meet you both and thanks for the glass manequinn, It's very cool We had a chance to swap ideas back and forth in between fire alarms and seminars and I loved Jacks piercings and the chance to talk to her during GG and Torns party. She has a firm grasp on whats needed in the business (no pun about papas cock intended) and I wish you both well with papa's upcoming business ideas.

Bdok, BeaverBob, MadHatter, RedCherry, I'm sure we met but right now I can't remember when and where. With so much happening in such a short time, I knew i was going to forget someone but I hope we have the chance to meet you once again at the next xbiz so I will actually be able to remember you.

I have probably missed off a lot of people here and for that I am sorry. Meeting so many of you in such a short time was awesome but I knew with my memory I would forget someone or something.
