I've been going to shows since 2000 or so.... I remember the boob fights at Internext.
I wasn't big into the shows; My job was always more operations and less marketing. My job was running the company, not fucking off at parties. Then again, I was well known at the shows for making sure everyone was fucked up on Jägermeister. I was so bad that I would bring my "NATS Jägermeister Machine" to shows and making sure everyone was fucked up.
The best shows were always YP Mexico... I didn't work for YNOT then but went every year. I also used to go to the "Mini YP" trips where a handful of us would go down to Mexico to plan for the actual event. YP was great - no Internet connection. Just the beach, drinking, and good friends.
One moment at YP Mexico stands out.... This was in the early days when I was working for Lightspeed Cash. It was Steve, Tanker, and myself. We met someone at YP Mexico - I'll never forget the conversation on a patio over looking the beach - and he told us he could send us 100 joins a day. The three of us just hoped he would sign up as an affiliate, and hoped he would be able to send us that kind of traffic. We got home he signed up, sent 86 joins on the first day. The next day it was 250 joins. Then he introduced us to his friends. We all made so much money back then. It was so easy.
