I want to tell that green eggs and ham story about Kulkis - Might be kind of fun to do my version then you add your side of it if you are up for it. Maybe Mark would even jump in to lay down his perspective...
of course Im up for it and no doubt kulkis would comment too...Aside from being responsible for the whole Mary Carey thing Mark is a likeable fellow with a sense of humor and I know that at the very least his web guy is active here.

Over the years Homegrown Video has been a critical launching pad and/or a booster rocket for porn careers. From starlets like Stephanie Swift and Anna Malle to producers like Mike South, Sweet Entertainment Group, and Dave Cummings. My brother hired the Sweets to shoot the series he concieved and named "Sweetloads". Dave Cummings was selling a few copies of his videos when we took him on. We revamped his boxcovers, and renamed his series "The Sugardaddy" and became the first company to distribute the old guy young woman niche.

Usually we are quite content to watch our little fledglings grow wings of their own and leave the nest. Sure, it hurts sometimes to hear afterwards - "Homegrown, nice guys, but they pay like shit", but what can we say? You don't see us denying it. The part that hurts, and which we often don't get the respect for doing is all the press and hype that goes into launching a new name in the biz. We sometimes have to demean and debase ourselves before members of the press who have heard it all and seen it all before.

And trust me, selling a niche like Sugardaddy is not easy when the writers don't have any interest in it personally. Sure, they have all day to talk to up and coming cute starlets that will suck their cock for an interview but what are you going to do with someone like Dave Cummings or Mike South who, let's give them a big hand, don't suck dick for press.

You have to be a squeaky wheel. You have to beg, plead, cajole, bitch, and moan and set your publicist on them and what do you get? A frustrated editor that finally has to give in and run your bit. So that is what AVN editor Mark Kulkis must have been reacting to when we asked for some press on our anniversary and hitting the milestone of 500 titles.

Sure, he would give us some play. We stopped whining and left his office. Only one month later the AVN came out and our headline, if you can even call it that since it was fairly buried and only sat atop a few lines of text, said "Big Fucking Deal, Homegrown hits 500". That stung, but then he had the nerve to make fun of our names too - crediting us as "the guys with the Dr. Suess sounding names".

That meant war.

We had just launched Mike South's Southern Belles. We even won an AVN award with the series. Mike was getting good press. And that is why we should have never taken him to the Vegas show. As soon as he showed up he had an offer from a cat named Patick Collins to take the series over to Elegant Angel. Mike came up to us to see if we would counter. "I don't know guys, that is an awful lot of money" he told us. We said "go in piece", meaning we would keep our piece and he could go break off his own piece wherever.

At around that same time Kulkis left AVN to pursue production and he was working with Elegant as well.

We had to act fast. We went and got the supplies. Set the trap. Mike and Mark were sitting together in the Elegant booth when the hot breakfast in a styrofoam box showed up.

Mark seemed reluctant to open it. Mike finally opened it for him. That is when they both saw how Homegrown deals its own form of justice. Inside was a pile of green scrambled eggs and a big green slice of ham. Inside the top of the box read the inscription: "I do not like them here or there I do not like them anywhere".

Later on we went up to Mark to make amends. Moff and I stood on either side of Kulkis and smiled as a photog from Hustler snapped us all shaking hands and forgiving and forgetting. Only we were tight with Hustler, and they did us the immense favor of adding "I'm with stupid" and "he is gay" with arrows pointing right at Kulkis onto the black sweat shirts we happened to be wearing.

You mess with the bull... you step in the bull's mess...

NOTE: No relationships have been harmed in the making of this post. Today our relationships with Mike and Mark are quite friendly and professionally respectful.

The love-hate relationship with AVN did not start with the internet companies. This goes back to the beginning of its history. Everyone loves when they are getting good press and reviews but everyone hates when they feel AVN is not catering to their special needs. However, not many ever actually get ridiculed for their names so leave it to team Homegrown to seek revenge for the "Dr. Suess" crack.

During a big AVN fundraiser fan friendly event at The Roxy in Los Angeles we crashed through the side doors of the club with a gigantic dragon float carried by a dozen people for each of its three sections, blasting smoke and shooting sparkle blasts from its mouth, then a float of rolling waves, and finally followed with another float that was a giant oyster. A military fogger blasted forth and filled the room with a thick cloud that flashed with the dragon's laser light eyes and various strobes to make the Roxy seem like a magical box containing a storm of thunder and lightning. We had a drum and horn procession jamming jungle jazz musical mayhem around the dragon while Slash's band was hitting the stage but we had already made arrangements with them to give us a fanfaire appropriate to the moment as well. Luckily, the club manager said he was fine with everything as long as we didn't set anything on fire...

We dropped the oyster on the stage whereupon it opened up to release a bunch of pearlescent balloons and a burlesque fan dancer who shook and shimmied while we terrorized the audience for about 15 minutes then flew back out leaving a crowd of shell shocked mooks.

Revenge is not only sweet. It is also entertaining.

Best part about that night was the "Spinal Tap" moment when the giant oyster wouldn't open up on cue to let the exotic dancer out.

The band was repeating their riffs, then started looking around at each other wondering if they should play on or jump in to pry open the oyster.

After about 5 tense minutes and some prying by the stage hand it opened and the dancer popped out- a little out of breath and wobbly but alive nonetheless.

Trust me, we had it covered. This is the kind of stunt that we used to get into mainstream mags like Buzz, GQ, Cosmo, and many others.

Hard work? Sure but what is wrong with that? Expensive, no way. We are of scotch heritage, one of the stingiest genetic pools out there.

John Stagliano is more popularly known as "Buttman" and owner of the Evil Angel empire. I have only huge respect for him and what he has accomplished in the industry but also for how humble and down to earth he has remained as a person. He was one of the first people out there to actually let producers collect royalties on their work. I guess no quick biography would be complete about him without also mentioning that he is a mensa member and that he produced a very sexy and successful show in Vegas based on his fetishistic "Fashionistas" movie.

I once had the privilege of working with John when he came down to shoot me and our starlet named Sheena for a video called "Buttman's Inferno". The scene was actually a foursome with John's girlfriend at the time Kristy and another dude. The scene ended up bringing home the award for "Best Group Sex Scene" but the victory was bittersweet for John since Kristy had recently died in a car crash. I of course don't really brag about it all that much because it is like taking credit for being the second leg in a relay race. Sure, I helped but I can't take too much credit...

While I was driving around with John he bestowed upon me one of the greatest lessons I ever learned in this biz.

We were driving along and I noticed that he had the same new over-priced but entirely sweet sony 3 chip prosumer camera that we had just recently purchased.

"I just got myself one of those. How do you like that sony?"

He looked at it and shrugged.

"It's ok I guess but I made my first million with my Canon L1."

Moral to the story: What you shoot with is never as important as what ends up on the tape.
John is committed to his craft and continues to stick to that vision to empower directors to produce their own great content. This model is why Evil Angel is who they our today and I am happy to be with such a great company.

When I was first starting out in the business Farrell and his brother Moffit were some of the first people I met. Back then I was shooting Amateur porn out of my house in San Diego and running amateur porn websites. I think I also remember doing some graphic work for homegrown but I suck at graphics so we won't go there ;) Anyway, I will aways respect the homegrown family for the help they provided us back then and the great times we had.

Thanks for everything Farrell and I consider you a good friend!! Good times...

Great memories!

Please tell John and Trisha that I say hello. Trisha Devereux was one of the models that participated in that shoot with Fisher, Hutton, etc. Great people - please give them my fond regards.

Getting inducted into the AVN Hall of Fame this year at the AVN show... Since they won't be letting me up on stage to spew some drunken rant I have been preparing a speech here: www.homegrowngazette.com.

Excerpt from Far-L's AVN Hall of Fame acceptance speech:

Quote:
My mantra. Sex is food, people have to eat. Just saying, thinking, feeling it gives me a warm fuzzy feeling and gives me a renewed sense of purpose to face each day in the porn industry.

I have always felt that a lot more positive things could come from working in the adult entertainment biz than negative.

I still feel that despite all those distributors that told us to ?fuck off? in no uncertain terms when we first took over the company, regardless of those unscrupulous webmasters that ripped off our domains and all the receivables from our sites, never mind those directors that wanted me to work all day for peanuts, literally, because they expected me to just work for the sex and the snacks.

I know in heart of hearts that the same so called ?hippy? altruisms that I stood for when I came into it still exist today. I believe that orgasms are good for people. I believe sexual repression leads to all sorts of problems of the spirit as well as mental and health issues. I think porn can serve a positive function in a truly free society.
Amen, brother...and congratz!

ADG

I had never seen a porn before (shut up) so my new boss suggests I take home our new releases, check them out and get an idea of what we do so that I can sell them better.

So I go home, pop in one of the tapes. This lady is all naked and feeling herself up...ok, so far so good..then this face appears in the lower corner, like a shark coming up to eat her pussy....and the face is familiar....GOOD FUCKING LORD ITS MY NEW BOSS! Waaa-waaa. I popped that tape out so fast and didn't watch any of the others, just in case.

Yeah, Homegrown orientation forgot to mention that the President was also a performer....
I think I recall seeing you blush a few times in the office:-).

Ya's rock!!!

SFL2 also had Kool Keith, Eek-a-Mouse, some announcer from pro-wrestling whose name I can't remember now, an award winning author named Glasgow Phillips, and a few others as well as some incredible music from a bunch of bands that were on the SRH record label like Lucy's Fur Coat.

SFL2 was the comedy porn project that was started with Trey but we never got around to finishing it properly because the whole South Park thing started taking up all his time... go figure...

We had to put out a fractured, unfinished version of it because my bro got so sick of how long it was taking to finish and how much cash had been spent on it.

I have made a promise to myself to finish it this year. Stay tuned!
And, didn't "Here Comes Elska" have some really old porn guy yelling "Chewbacca(sp)" as he was dumpin his load on one of the porn five starlets you let us three guys "work with", after which Trey and Matt were keeling over lauging so hard at the comment (which I thing YOU, as the Director, had earlier told the old guy to say)?

THAT was one fun night of shooting!!!

After making our first LA style porn for Paul Little, we became friends and he began to hire me for other productions, not only as talent but also as a crew member, anal lube dispenser, whipping boy. I was there when Paul and his brother came up with the name "Max Hardcore" which essentially began as a riff off of "Max Headroom". Paul/Max and I would watch everything we shot with a magnifying glass and try to figure out the best ways to improve kind of like watching game footage to figure out what went right or wrong during a game.

I like to tell people I went to the Max Hardcore School of Porn. At a certain point, we convinced Max to come on board with Xplor exclusively and we produced a few series with him but a distributor who went by the name of Chuck Zane was pissed since he figured that he owned the rights to the character since he put out the first Max Hardcore material. This certainly was not the case but that didn't stop Chuck from coming after us and threatening to sue. Chuck incidentally is related to Rob Black and he was pure old school porn kingpin. People always told us to watch out because Chuck was a "connected" guy from back east but I never found my dog's head in my bed or anything like that. He was actually a really nice guy even though he would BK his businesses every two years or so it seemed like.

On a sidenote, we were in Chuck's office amicably settling the Max issues when Rob Black's first porn tape had just come in to his uncle Chuck's office. Chuck made me, my bro, and Max watch it while he ridiculed the quality of it mercilessly.

"Can you believe this guy is related to me?"

We all laughed but a year or so later Rob was winning awards and a darling of the adult press worldwide... a couple of years after that he was under indictment but that is another story.

We sold well with Max but his product was just not the right fit. Max needed someone that would be more excited about moving in the same direction as he was - which meant increasingly more depraved and hardcore. We just weren't comfortable with that at all since our stuff appeals to people that don't like seeing women barfing on erections.

Still friends with Max even though I think it is a bit bizarre that he doesn't want anyone to call him Paul anymore.

I remember we always used to talk about how we would take our evolving skills one day into the mainstream. When I was working on "Orgazmo" Max came down to shoot his cameo. We sat and talked while the lights were being set. Max praised my good fortune. Then, with a bit of melancholy he lamented how by listening to the increasingly bizarre requests of certain vocal fans he had basically gone out on a limb and there was no turning back.

I don't know for sure but I always think that was the day he decided that he would be Max from then on, leaving paul out on a curb by a warehouse on a street somewhere in LA.
Far-L, I credit YOU with getting me a cameo in "Orgazmo"--what a fun day that was!!

Thanks!
