1998 or 1999, Phoenix Forum. Might have been before the Phoenix Forum was the Phoenix Forum, and it was in a huge hotel. Great fun that was when no one knew who I was an no one had ever heard of Lightspeed Cash.

Whoops I forgot, most of you are office workers and never see bare female flesh. :1orglaugh

I got my first piece in 1998, Cant recall what hotel was homebase but I know it wasnt the Venetian yet....inter-next was not yet bought by AVN.......

what I remember most about that year was the amatuer website couples and their parties. in the beginning all those indepenants were a big part of the show.

so when did you make your first trip to internext? what do you recall most from that first time?

Ya mine was back in the mid-90s .. Monte Carlo hotel Vegas. What an eye opener - that's when you really threw a party unlike now when it feels like an accountants convention

People who ask me about the biz always scratch their heads in confusion when I say that there are indeed pornstars and models around everywhere but no one really likes to hang out with them much when there's so much biz to do...

A memorable time, for sure.

But just in the 2000's I remember back in the day my schedule being packed at internext. Invites to dinners, parties, private dinners, private parties I had to juggle and try to go to what I could turning down more than I could handle. There were just so many meetings and things people wanted me at you'd literally make an appearance for 30 minutes and would have to move to the next just so you could try to fit everything in.

This year its rather sobering.. One dinner invite. (which i am really looking forward to and may be the only reason I'm going and very thankful) but thats it. No meetings, no other dinners, no party invites.. And my biz I own has never been stronger than it is today. Ive made millions in this biz and this is the biz's gathering place.

Either people have forgotten who I am or the people just aren't around anymore.


Man.. I can remember those old internext shows. They were pretty crazy. Not sure what to expect this time around. Ill be there but may be on the sidelines. There is always the bukkake party i guess!

Im in Vegas the week before for the affialate summit and my time there is booked tight with CEO's and company owners and the like. Im in adult but the mainstream guys covet me more than the adult guys for some reason.. It will be interesting to compare and contrast the two shows going back to back like this. I expect to get tons of networking in for the affiliate summit show. Internext I don't know what to expect. Going there more for the tradition. But the people in those memories are gone.
