As someone who for the past two years worked both shows.

I can tell you that this is a blessing in disguise!!!

When I go to these shows most of the time I have a list of people that I want to meet and set up to meet those people before I go whether it be for a lunch, at a party at night, or even at a booth. Last year with the two halls across town from each other I spent half my day in Cabs going back and forth getting to meeting and booth set up on opposite ends of town.

As far as the surfers running around Internext. I highly doubt you are going to get that many surfers who are going to shell out 150 bucks to walk around Internext when they can spend 40 and go see all the pornstars and get free DVDs and shit.

One other reason I am happy about this is Booth set up. With the 1st of the year getting closer and closer to the beginning of Internext it was getting to the point that it was going to be impossible to do anything but be in Vegas for the New Year.

So I for one am happy that this is going to work out this way. Less time in Vegas for me. 9 days to start off the year put me in a bad mood for months!

So for all of you who are quick to put AVN down for this decision. I think if you take a little time and prepare well for this new format you will see that it will work out to your benefit. Just be prepare beforehand and you will walk away happy!

Good Job Aly
