4.What was the first adult industry event you attended and what are the circumstances that led you there?

To reference the above questions #3, Spannow and Belinda totally gave me the nudge I needed. They talked about industry shows, etc. etc. A whole new, bright-eyed world for this little newbie, and boom, Sonny and I were booked to go to the Phoenix Forum. That was 2009. I don't even remember if I had business cards or not. I must have, I think I did, but they didn't have any info, and I had shut down my site until it could be "repaired" by Spannow. So, I was meeting all these people, trying to promo a site that wasn't even up yet. Sonny and I are party-whores, so the shows agreed with us in the sense that we took it upon ourselves to "work the room" the entire show. We would split up and hand out business cards and meet as many people as possible. I made out with any girl I thought was hot, and learned quickly to GET IN FRONT OF JFK! Ha ha! (Incidentally, if I didn't make out with you at that show, it does not necessarily stand to reason that I don't think you're hot.) Ashley Fires hooked my ass up though, I'll never forget our make out at that pool party. And Sarah Peachez and Wild Natalie were nice and generous with their tongues, so that definitely helped. I don't remember who it was, shit, I'm SORRY! But someone DEMANDED that I sign up for the LightSpeed Dodgeball. Another excellent little promo opportunity - actually a picture of me in that cheerleader uniform landed in the Cybernet Expo booklet a year later. Ha ha! That whole show was a blur, but it really was the BEST show to be my first. Sonny and I met tons of people. We tried to really hang out with so many different groups and learn as much as we could.
I was on whirlwind show attendance last year, and am definitely missing the contact connections this year. I truly think the shows are what you make of them, and we have always worked VERY hard at the shows, and so received very good return. There were mixed reviews about Cybernet Expo both last year AND this year, and both times it was an AWESOME show for me, so it really depends on what you make of it.
