lately since the bros have been exposed how they conduct business and finally get a little more resistance, i see them referring to 'the old days' etc etc. when they were starting out and not yet all over eachothers dicks, saying that were good times and that most of the people now dont know them (a lame hint saying peeps who dont know the dinosaurs are "noobs").
All i can say is - times change. Get used to it. Suck it up. Move on.

CJ I don't miss the old days- I miss the "hustle" of the old days and the innovators of this biz.

This business has become too homogenized and very unoriginal.
Those are two words you could never say about Joe.

The first time I met Joe was over the phone when I worked for YNOT and he owed us $40,000 I threatened to come down and pay him a visit and was relentless in my collections for Rick Muenyoung-

He ended up asking me what I was doing that night ( it was a Friday) the next thing I know - he had booked me two first class tickets to Lauderdale that evening and made me an offer once I got there to run his new magazine, KLIXXX.
I told him NO but he had already put me on his payroll at $300 a week just to write an article or two-

He paid me for 6 mos and I never did anything- I also told him numerous times to quit sending me checks- but he still did.

and btw... KB... do you think people here are so fucking stupid or new that they cant see that every one of your threads has some sort of self serving purpose... like this one for example: "you have been in the business so long..."

if it wasnt out of respect for d, you would have been run out of this industry long ago...

Funny Story Kb.

I always had love / good feelings for Joe, he was always a mench to me.

I know he had issues with some and of course JB, none of my biz so... Jb was also cool beans all the time.

Man alot of stories out there about Joe.. Besides all the partying, getting fucked up, etc he was pretty damm good at marketing and spreading the word / love of TCG.. I knew when he would post about his X and Daughter in MI or some state that way that he was good people - I read ppl pretty good and could tell he had a big heart for his family - / daughter...


My fondest wild night was at the first or 2 jamaica convention with Dokk, staying at the white hotel I think, Charlatin??? (sp), Me and Fletch, Joe, and some others were in the Hotel bar getting loose, Joe was getting hammered as hell and then it got loud, think a chair or table got knocked over, and we all ended up outside.

So were at the bottom of some stairs leading up to rooms and Joe is being funny as heck, where is Dokk, Where is Dokk (dokk will always like and enjoy his company btw), I think Dokk came around with some Ganja Cakes (remember those?) and then we ate some, smoked a little and just sat on the steps and laughed and talked for awhile.

Wasn't a big party or anything you know but it was just cool as heck - hanging out, talking about women, etc, etc.

I hope Joe is ok and doing well.....

Joe E, me and Jeff

Shit we had a blast with this him, KBizzle remember the party in LA at the strip club guys house who had the Major Domo, or however your pronounce that. As far as Joe E being the American version of Greg, I don't agree. Greg was always well balanced and kept his cool, Joe E could simply get out of control, I remember the 2 shows in New Orleans one year and he was wild.

Good memories of him, always had a blast with him around and I hope he is doing well

Joe E was fun.

Since people are telling stories...

I'll keep mine manly and without tears like he died or something.

We partied in Jamaica.

We got pretty drunk.

Joe started this little game called, "trade punches". At least that's what I'll name it since that's what it was.

He was trying to get me to hit him, so I threw little pussy shots at his arm thinking, I'm not hitting this guy. Then he throws a monster kidney punch, pretty fucking hard, caught me by surprise with that since no one in their right mind would throw a blow like that in my back.

Then I had no issue trading shots, it was more instinctive when someone hits you hard in your kidneys. I just remember throwing a massive shot back to his arm, didn't have the heart to hit his back, at first that is. All he wore in Jamaica were tank tops. His shoulder bruised up pretty fast, I was proud. Looked really good the next day.

Moral of the story. No matter how much someone makes, they bruise just the same. It turned into a funny thing when he'd creep up on me and hit my back, I must have been pretty wasted.

I had a blast with him on that trip. And he snagged my Eek-A-Mouse shirt, to cover his bruise!

Sorry, no drug references, no hookers, no money involved. Just a clean story with a little booze.

As for the old days... Everyone was fucked up then and everyone is fucked up now. Faces change, the game remains the same.

Funny to see the noobs in this thread explaining how they're the new breed and we're all dinosaurs while they work out of mom's bedroom.

spending. JoeE never earned a buck himself in his whole life.....nuff said.

But one memory of Joe maks me laugh harder than anything else.

One night while walking through the Venetian at 3 am Joe, myself, Big Scotty- ( his bodyguard who died in R&B singer AALIYAH'S plane crash) RB from Maxcash, Jeff Newman who owned Busty-Amateurs.com along with his new flame at the time Busty Angel, who later went on to be known as the porn star Angel Cassidy were all talking next to a table in the casino- the next thing we know a casino host comes out from nowhere with two security guys and ask Joe if he'd like the table set up to play- the table was empty.

He says "ok, fuck it"- and the host makes the table $500 a hand- I had all of $100 in my pocket and a net worth of maybe $1000 in the bank at the time- I tell Joe it's to rich for my blood- he says " fuck you hahahahahaha, you are going to sit and play with me and hands me $4,000 in chips!!!

I sit and play with all of the guys at the table and start winning- I get up to $6,000 and I give him his $4000 back. I am now playing with the casino's money and having the time of my life. Jeff leaves totake a piss and without a second to hesitate, Joe says to Angel " I'll give you this black chip if you show me your tits" and Angel in a matter of a second took her " I Love Porn" baby doll t and pulled it over her head!

Joe flicks her a chip and Jeff comes back and we all act as if nothing happened- she put the chip in her shorts.

You can imagine at 4 am now we are all a bit drunk and laughing at Joe he was insane and would do insane things at the table. One being that a few webmasters would stop and talk to him while he was playing cause they'd see $100,000 in chips in front of him and him playing $20,000 hands- (mind you this wasn't in the high limit room, this was part of Joe's marketing ways) One webmaster stops and shakes Joe hand in the middle of him being dealt his cards, he gets up and takes a walk with this webmaster around the casino having a private business chat! The host and dealer gladly waited for him to come back before dealing another card- 15 mins went by with no Joe!

He gets back to the table and says he has to take a piss-leaves and goes to the restroom in the casion and goes missing for another 15 mins.

RB says "I need to go find Joe" and leaves for the restroom- RB comes out of the restroom 5 mins later laughing hysterically with Joe following up close behind looking real woozy. RB tries to tell us what he had just witnessed in the restroom and could hardly get a word out of his mouth he was laughing so hard he couldn't breathe! RB calms down and explains that Joe went into the bathroom to do a line of coke- Joe locked himself in the handicapped stall and laid out a thickie the size of Summerlin on the handrail next to the toilet- as Joe went to approach his line of Yayo, he misjudged the distance between the rail and tile wall that was three inches behind and must have knocked himself out he found him lying next to the toilet on the floor with a knot on his head.
10 mins later Angel and Jeff leave they had enough of Joe by 6 am, and RB started losing so he left as well which left me with Joe, two hookers and my now $3,000 fortune which I decided was enough for me to walk out of the casino with.

Joe looks at me and says you cannot leave, that is my money you have there, and you are coming to my room and we are going to fuck these whores now!

He had that crazy look in his eyes and I looked at him and said " I'll be right back" and sprinted faster than Jesse Owens to my room.

The next day I awake at 8 pm- and there were 15 crazy messages on my phone from Joe...all were incoherent until he mentioned he paid $15,000 to have Houston the porn star in his room and he was getting ready to bang her...

I was kinda dating Houston at the time so he knew he got me good.
To this day, I still don't know if he banged her or not, my money says he did.

Joe was one of a kind.
I once went to Solid Gold with him in Ft Lauderdale and had steaks with him- after dinner he threw $20,000 in funny money up in the air just so he could see chicks bending over and picking up his cash-

For all of you keyboard warriors out here making $5,000 a month and living in your parents basement, Joe at that time was making $57,000 a day- and he showed me his stats and accounts.

You think this business is fun now?
You have no idea what it used to be like when guys like Joe, RB, and Ron Levi would spend $500,000 to a million bucks a tradeshow on parties and entertaining.

Those days are long gone......
Sounds exactly like the kind of people i wouldnt want anywhere near me. Funny.
White trash with money is still white trash.

thanks for putting all the effort into that story. i was going to put up my little Joe E momento and realized you captured the essence of the man so well. For me I liken the folks of that era as true pirates. Once you know who these people are/were, you soon come to understand that if you were in their shoes you probably would have been just the same. This is when you can stop being a hater, and just see it for what it is.

Joe E was a true character of his time, and it was certainly a memorable moment in my life when I got to hang with him for a night. The stories which included his sinking boat, the keys he gave me to his car, the nice steak at the strip club restaurant, the strippers we had hanging from us all night and then the feeling of being a dick when I had to leave him in a late night bar at 6am to go have a breakfast meeting with Bobby Cox of iBill at 7am.

But the one fact that most people miss about the man is how much of a regular Joe he really is. Without saying too much here in public, the most important thing I learned about Joe that night was his love of his family.

Rock on Joe E.

please son, anyone taking your definition for "scumbag, cheater, honest, business, etc." won't last in this biz very long.

its amazing the lengths you punks will go to on a chat board to appear relevant.

In March of 1997 you met Serge who blessed Florida with his visit in his beaten up station wagon and who opened your eyes and POCKET to the magic of RECURRING BILLING! By 1998 you were almost in the Big League and now you are a Big Kahoona! You were not anywhere near to in 1996!

Don't give up hope, JoeE actually made an appearance at our bikini contest 2 years ago, and I had a chance to speak with him briefly on the phone during last year's show.

Those are two words you could never say about Joe.

The first time I met Joe was over the phone when I worked for YNOT and he owed us $40,000 I threatened to come down and pay him a visit and was relentless in my collections for Rick Muenyoung-

He ended up asking me what I was doing that night ( it was a Friday) the next thing I know - he had booked me two first class tickets to Lauderdale that evening and made me an offer once I got there to run his new magazine, KLIXXX.
I told him NO but he had already put me on his payroll at $300 a week just to write an article or two-

He paid me for 6 mos and I never did anything- I also told him numerous times to quit sending me checks- but he still did.

So he gave you $300 a week for doing nothing ... that makes him irresponsible and a terrible business person, not a great guy. Can you see that it would be hard for those he took money from to be impressed by that?

I hear what you are saying about the old days, it was a stack of fun, but there was no glorified hustle or innovators like you remember ... it was just a bunch of people standing under a rain cloud with a bucket. The innovators came when competition came, but really there's still not much more or less innovation here today than there was in 96, 99, 2002 ... the business people & innovators made their money & got out, they didn't spend their money and get driven out.

Everything we went through back then was a learning experience ... I just don't understand how you couldn't have learnt that throwing money around to show others how much you have isn't good business. It might have been cool, fun, hustle etc, but we were all just average folk making easy money & showing it off to anyone who cared.

I long for the days of Faye's shows with 500 odd people, 1 party per night and nobody wanting to kill each other for ripping them off.



Busty, that's a great photo of you and jeff!! We used to bump into each other all the time back in those days. I am trying to remember the name of that beautiful girl who worked with you, starts with L - your sister or jeff's sister I think? I always had a good chat with her & she was such a beautiful girl. I'm trying to find the photos of us but that's going back several hard drives ;/

I'm not surprised at all Forest!

Faye & Dave always put on the best shows & back then it was small enough that everyone knew each other. I just love those guys so much! Once I arrived in vegas a few days early for some tourist activity and the 3 of us went and saw a classic vegas show. It was a hoot of a night with Faye & I called up onto the stage to dance.

Damn you kb for this reminiscing!!! ;p Its really been the week for it ...

You brought up another name that's been on all of our minds the last week here in Brisbane - and I'm sure in lots of places around the world.

Bob Cox passed away last week. Its been a very nostalgic week thinking back on some of the old days we used to share with him.
Gday young lady

I was going to spit some GFY junk back at your reply, until I read the bit about Bobby. Fuck me drunk.

This thread got me to plow through some old photos and dv tapes last night and I found some funny stuff with JoeE and a ton of other oldschool people. One day I'll take some time and edit it all up ... truly funny and memorable times

I hear what your saying from a logical standpoint about how innovators came when competition came BUT do you really believe there were no innovators and no hustle back then CJ?

Robin Nixon wasn't an innovator? Slick Rick from YNOT? Ron Levi? Serge? Al Hadhazy? The guys behind Video Secrets and Python's live sex from amsterdam? The adult online business today, the various business models - and commerce on the net as a whole is based on all the innovative shit that was absolutely created in those days. Granted, it was easier to make a buck because it wasn't so saturated - but seriously, it wasn't just standing around with buckets and $$$ falling from the sky - it was ALWAYS A HUSTLE

Regardless of the fast money coming in and going out - I don't regret ... nor would I change a thing. The travel, the shows, the partying, THE PARTIES were all great life experiences ... and learning experiences! Best of all, I have deep rooted friendships and business relationships that have lasted the test of time from those days.

AND, these days are great too! I've settled down, have two beautiful kids and a wife I adore - I'm happier today than I've ever been and I owe a lot of that to THE OLD DAYS

J$tyle$, oh yeah, there was hustle and hype and drama and all that ... but do you seriously think that video secrets are responsible for streaming video and live sex shows? The companies that created webcams and the video technology 'innovated' that ... we just came along and used it at a time when millions of people around the world with credit cards wanted to use the technology for sex. We tried it, tested it, improved it, made it better, marketed it etc, but we didn't innovate it. Although I guess we could get stuck on semantics of the meaning of that word LOL

Honestly, how can you say that its innovative to say 'hey i have a great idea, i'll use this webcam to broadcast sex!'? That's basically what we are saying about all of these 'innovators'.

You know I've worked with a few of those who are considered innovators, but even they will tell you they just did something a bit different to the person before.

I mean really ... lets not give ourselves so much credit for doing what any idiot could have done!

I do agree with you on 1 thing though ... I don't regret any of it. The good, bad and ugly ... if nothing else I'm grateful for the lessons I learnt so young & the people I've met & learnt from along the way. And it sure was fun ....

It is semantics then, because neither one of us said INVENT, and I'm not saying that now

I guess we can agree to disagree then because when you use the word "innovators", the following interpetations or definitions come to my mind - and all of the people I mentioned are credited with the following:

Dictionary.com Unabridged (v 1.1) - Cite This Source
in·no·vate /ˈɪnəˌveɪt/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[in-uh-veyt] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation verb, -vat·ed, -vat·ing.
?verb (used without object)
1. to introduce something new; make changes in anything established.
?verb (used with object)
2. to introduce (something new) for or as if for the first time: to innovate a computer operating system.
3. Archaic. to alter.

The classic definitions of innovation include:

1. the process of making improvements by introducing something new
2. the act of introducing something new: something newly introduced (The American Heritage Dictionary).
3. the process of translating new ideas into tangible societal impact (Krisztina Holly, Vice Provost, University of Southern California, and Executive Director of USC Stevens Institute for Innovation)
4. the introduction of something new. (Merriam-Webster Online)
5. a new idea, method or device. (Merriam-Webster Online)
6. the successful exploitation of new ideas (Department of Trade and Industry, UK).
7. change that creates a new dimension of performance Peter Drucker (Hesselbein, 2002)
8. A creative idea that is realized [(Frans Johansson)] (Harvard Business School Press, 2004)

J, should I now go and do the same with the word 'new'?

I just don't think those who decided to pay per click instead of per join or those who figured out how to transfer video over the internet are as important to the world as we in this industry like to tell ourselves.

no offense, CJ but just because you weren't innovating doesn't mean the rest of us weren't.
You, appearently, didn't have the view some of us had.

Hey girl

OK - I have finally gotten my head around the fact that an old mate has passed from us, and I thought I would come back to this thread and touch base again

I gotta say that in just a little way you are sounding a little jaded.... hmm. just maybe???

You said this just before "lets not give ourselves so much credit for doing what any idiot could have done! ". You are so right, any idiot could have done what has been done in our industry. The fact is though, most idiots wouldn't have done what we did because of the backlash form our communities that we faced. I wont cite all the cases of people in our industry being crushed because of what they do, so I will use my own life as an example. When that article came out in our home town in the major press, all my neighbours in my gated community went on the offensive. To such a point that I eventually had to remove my family to the other side of the world. Maybe if you think about it, you have to be an idiot to do what we do.

But lets get back to the point of this post. Joe E. He was an indelible character within this industry, and he had the ability to touch people in a way that was just so special to him.Was he a god? No. Was he a pioneer? Probably not. Was he the best thing since sliced bread even? I don't think so. But was he a character worthy of remembering fondly to those he touched. Absolutely.

If you want to start a Joe E bashing thread, be my guest. But as I see things, three of the local boys back home screwed me over big time and you know what. I would have a beer with them any day (of course I wouldn't do biz with them again). And the reason I would have that beer with them is because at the end of the day, we all belong to this klan of idiots.

Props to you Joe E

And a special hug to you CJ

Good reads in this thread. Joe E was a legend, no doubt about it. He may have went down on his own accord, but he went down fighting and most likely still is to this day.
