Affiliate Ball - my new thing - January 10th Vegas - Players Ball is the 9th - A new era beings as..
I've been getting a ton of emails about my new event, AffiliateBall.com. So I wanted to clear up some confusion on my events since I have 2 parties for 2 different industrys, back to back nights.
After a very fun ride with the Players Ball over the last 13 years, the days of the massive crowds at shows and huge artists are sadly gone. I'm trying to make this Players Ball on the level of the past ones, but sponsor support is non existant. So I'm taking my talents to mainstream... lol Yeah, I got fucked over by LeBron, so I'm using his words. Will the Players Ball end? Don't know. But there IS a Players Ball on January 9th in Vegas for all of Internext. We do have artists performing at the moment and Sapphire as the venue, so the show will go on. If it's the last one, you'll want to be there. I'm still hopeful some company out there will want to grab a main sponsorship and we can have Three 6 Mafia perform that night (or someone else big). Meanwhile, I'm very happy to announce that the magic isn't gone, the Ball vibe will live on in a parallel universe many of you have already crossed over to. The Affiliate Summit has never had a Players Ball like event that caters to the whole show, so I'm doing it, Affiliate Ball. Sponsorship support has been great, reminds me of the old days in adult. D-Money will continue trying to do Players Balls at adult shows if the support is there while Darren is spinning off into other industrys with big events. Affiliate Ball being the first of many. This Affiliate Ball already locked in Three 6 Mafia, we'll be throwing that event at the Crown Theater at Rio. The Affiliate Ball is 100% mainstream, no adult mixed. But we do have sponsorships for hosting, designers, dating programs, etc, incase any of you are interested. I expect this first Affiliate Ball will be packed, 3000 invited guests with more that will be stuck outside, not getting in. History repeats, it's like going back in a time machine. Thank you to all of my supporters with the Players Ball over the years, my brother KB, sponsors, guests, haters (you know you still loved it), AVN, XBiz, Cybernet, the Ju Tang Clan and all of the beautiful women that hit on me because I looked hot in my pimp suits! I'm not saying good bye, I'm still trying to hold on to the Players Ball in adult. But I have to admit, if the support isn't there it's not worth doing. Unless it's fun and has major artists performing, I'll focus on other things including the Affiliate Ball and my marketing firm. For those that have been on the ride, the Players Ball started in 1999 in Vegas and we had over 2000 people at the very first one. Then we moved into C2K for about 7 Players Balls and packed a 3 level venue with an average attendance of 3,500 people, all invited guests from our industry trade show. We packed huge venues all this time until the last couple of years. The fall is the Players Ball is a reflection of our industry, companys need to make money to invest on parties. I hope things pick up. We've had Snoop Dogg, Xzibit, Cypress Hill, Doug E Fresh, Digital Underground, Slick Rick, George Clinton, Ice-T, Ice Cube, E-40, Lil Jon, Mack 10, Too Short and so many others over the years. Hopefully we can continue the tradition of the longest running and largest adult webmaster event of all time, but if it ends with this next one I'm happy I did it because it was fun.

Good luck D-Money. I have always had a huge man-crush on you throughout the years. You will always succeed. When the history books are written on this industry you will be considered the "PT Barnum of the Adult Internet Industry". God bless.

D, it has been a great ride. Thank you for providing years of great memories. The Snoop Dog and Ice Cube Players Balls are at the top for me. Good luck and good vision to take your show to the Affiliate Ball.

Good decision and must be exciting to venture into fresh territory, where there is plenty of money to make events like this happen right
My favorite PB will always be the Cypress Hill one.

Will KB be dressed like an asshat on stage though at the new balls? That's the real question!

There will be no pimp suits worn by myself or family at the Affiliate Ball.
I'm taking off the pimp hat and polishing up my game. I'm all grown up now. lol

the mainstream one would probably be gay. many religious lame-o's in mainstream who freak out at the mere mention of adult or women on stage, etc. g rated players ball..hmm no. good luck regardless.
thank the tubes. they've officially sucked all the fun out of this industry.

This post made me go to the Affiliate Summit for sure. Vegas was announced late so the tickets are now 249 and 449 onsite. http://www.affiliatesummit.com/register/ I want to do more mainstream.
I don't know why people see so many difference in Mainstream or adult, since we where born we learn every day. Selling sextoys, or normal toys has the same process. Good choice to jump in this D-Money, and good luck! let's hope their will be two parties, but i will fit in a non-adult players ball as well. If i can make money on a black-tie party, i go black tie. |

Loving the responses so far.
Now's a good time to tell you all something about my time and efforts put into the Players Ball over the years. For the first 10 years, I never made a dime of profit and invested blood, sweat and tears. The last few I barely made a profit, but it was at least enough to pay for me to comp myself for those trade shows. I think people over the years thought they could give me so much shit because I made money from it. Not the case. I did it as a thank you to the industry for providing me a great career and mainly because I had fun doing it. Who wouldn't want to throw the party you always wanted to go to? That was my philosophy. Throw the party I want to attend with sponsors money. I also benefited because it positioned me in the biz and got my name out there, which enabled me to do deals I normally wouldn't have had the chance to get otherwise.

My answer is this... I want all of my "players" to some how get in. I'll tell the venue to honor those Players Cards as admission, but sometimes new venues get confused and shit happens. I'd prefer for my friends to hit me up in person during Internext, I'll have the Players Ball the night before, so I'm easy to find. I'll hand passes to my peeps for sure. Hopefully the cards will get honored, but I'd feel bad if the venue fucks it up. So play it safe and see me for passes.

I can't say it's the last one ever, things can turn around for the industry and people will want to sponsor again I'm sure. But at the moment, it looks like the last Internext Players Ball for a while.

D,
We've been friends for a dozen years now, so - I just want to say from the heart - thanks for being you AND all you've done and continue to do ... as a party planner/promoter/marketer, etc ... and more importantly, my brotha from anotha mutha!!! From biz to friendship, vacations, parties, family, kids and so much more ... we've been through a lot, D - good times and bad ... but MOSTLY GREAT! I look forward to watching you make this transition and support you in any way I can ... and you know this! Being a part of the Player's Ball over the past 10 years + has been fun to say the least  So, here's a little retrospective dating back to 1999 (I will find more pics and post them later as well)           -- Quote:

This puts it into perspective, Players Ball has been around since IA2000 was the trade show, before it was bought by AVN and became Internext.
Damn I feel old. Good thing I still look good.

It was good meeting you in Vegas two years back D$!
Unfortunately I only got to attend one players ball. Definitely always seemed like THE party to attend when I use to lurk here. Very cool of you to dedicate yourself to the industry shows the way you did for all of those years. Looking at all of the pictures always makes me kick myself in the ass for not going to shows earlier. Definitely looks like they were a blast. Maybe I will see you at Affiliate Ball if the venue decides to honor my players card.

You and your brother are head and shoulders above the rest of the crown D.
Class acts all the way. Thanks for many years of great parties, and the first deal I ever made with CE Cash that made me over a million bucks at your party!!! Your parties were always the place to get some BIG business done! |
