5. Explain the Sean-Lars-Sagi love triangle, and how does Fred fit in?
well i think that fred fit in before the sagi. fred and lars had know
each other for a long time inside of the industry. i oddly met fred
at florida, so i guess that we are going to be having a little reunion
here soon.
fred, lars, and i had a lot of things in common, and as it turns out,
we had a few friends in common in our personal lives. when we
went to shows, lars and i would always hang out with fred. when
we did anything at all, we did it as a group most the time. lars loves
to walk up at the crack of dawn where ever he might be to watch
the stock market and yell at it. he really doesnt like going to clubs
or bars that much, so when he would head up to the room for the
night, fred and i would keep going and try to have fun.
most of my exposure to the adult industry was from lars?s point
of veiw, his years behind it all and then what i started figuring out
on my own. when i got to spend more time with fred, it was an
opportunity to see it all through new eyes. see what his take of it
all was. ways that he did business. lars and fred share some of the
same history with putting in hard work and getting results. so it
was good to be able to learn from fred also. so we got to all spend
time with each other, and have a good time doing it. i remember
once at a show everyone was getting ready to eat some big dinner.
the three of us were too hungry to wait out the three hours before
you get to eat at one of these dinners, and we spotted a taco stand
about a block away. we went over, got tacos, and sat on a bus bench
in front of the fancy restaurant that everyone was getting ready
to eat at, and had some fucking tacos. its the kind of men that
we independently, and it works out perfectly that we are the same
men together. the only problem that fred and i have is that we
hit on the same lesbians all the time. doesnt seem like we can
find dykes of our own to flirt with.
fred has spent a lot of time and had a lot of patience with me.
he has explained and taught things to me without ever being
condescending with me. lars has always been the same way
also, mentoring me in every way, but with a really really
short attention span unless i truly dont understand it, then
he will walk me through every detail of it and make sure
that i understand what he is talking about. they both treat
me in a kind manor and always treat me as a peer. i am lucky
to know them both and have them as my friends.
after that dynamic happened... along came adult friend finder,
and an entire new can of worms opened. they did business much
differently than lars. there are a lot of people over there, mostly
just because of the massive size of their websites. i know that there
are more than 200 employees in the palo alto office alone. i
understood and learned how to work inside of adult from lars
which was the entire old school way of ?sit down and get it done?
something like that really doesnt work with a company the size
of AFF. people have their own jobs inside of their own departments.
they have desks and titles on their business cards. i was at a point
that i really didnt even talk to lars too much about the work that
i was doing for him. i was just doing my job and if there was
anything that was strange, i would ask.
it really funny. one day kathleen was working at her desk and
was telling me that she was waiting on a LOI to get sent to her.
sean: ?what the fuck is a L.O.I.??
kathleen: ? a letter of intent?
sean: ?oh?
sean: ?wait. what the fuck is a letter of intent??
kathleen: ?its kind of like a pre contract?
sean: ?oh?
sean: ?wait. why did you need one of those??
kathleen: (a bunch of terms that i had never heard)
sean: ?what? really? wait. why do you need a contract?
just call them and tell them to put a link up and so will
you?
kathleen: ( a bunch of legal stuff that i dont know about)
sean: ?do you want to see my letter of intent??
i then send a text message over my phone to someone about
a traffic trade that i want to get done. they send one back saying
yes.
sean: ?look, its my contract after my letter of intent?
kathleen: ?what??
i then know that i am out of my league on that sort of thing
still and that i now have a bunch of new stuff to learn. i go
over to sagi?s desk and ask him what he is doing.
sean: ?did you know about this letter of intent stuff?
sagi: ?yes. dont you guys do that?
i look at him for a little while and just change the subject
sean: ?what are you doing??
sagi: ?icq?ing with this tgp guy about getting some new
banners up on his site?
i then understand something that is being done there and
just settle in. sagi and i have been friends since. kathleen
and i also for that matter. sagi just kind of working in well
with the entire ?hey, lets do a deal and figure out something
cool? way of doing things. so now our little three top has
a forth. sagi.
