You'll be able to find them. They will be lining up for the free bologna sandwiches at your announced lunch time.

Meanwhile the 50 people who do business at the show will have left the site for a nice lunch and a chance to make their evening plans that don't include sticking around the hotel.

And the minute people catch on that it will be cheaper to get the holiday inn one mile north of the westin than purchase badges for girls, it's over. They won't make it back to the westin until 4pm the next day, just in time to shit shower and shave and do it all over again, meanwhile your sponsors are trying to sell their wares to a non qualified lead..........

The shame of it all.

that is exactly what is going to happen. especially after the guys get there & see its a big sausage fest, everyone is gonna bail.

im so glad I decided to fly my niece up this summer (the same week as internext) instead of going to Miami's show again. i cant see anything good coming out of this show. i do, however, forecast a train-wreck disaster of a show AND the aftermath is going to be even worse. :2 cents:

AVN Publisher Paul Fishbein Wins ESPN Monday Night Football Package
Source says: I was listening to ESPN Radio this morning. They are doing a charity auction all day to benefit cancer research, They were letting a few of the winners on the air for a minute. The first one I heard was Paul Fishbein from Chatsworth, Calif. He won an ESPN Monday Night Football package... airfare and tickets to the MNF game of his choice. His winning bid was $9500.

He is too busy winning football packages to post on GFY I guess.
LOL

Damn! I was listening to that this morning and got pissed off that the Dan Patrick show wasn't on. That idiot brother of Jimmy V was on the air. I hit the radio in disgust and I missed Mr. AVN. :Oh crap

We are cancelling our room tomorrow, was really looking forward to seeing a lot of you people there, but there is no way I am gonna take My wife to a show with even less girls attending than the previous shows.

I am sure you are all aware of the incidents that occured with drunken idiots gropping the wifes/girlfriends of fellow webmasters, oviously with less girls to keep them busy drolling over it will only get worse and I know for a fact if this happens to My wife, I will be the one who ends up in jail.

I'm sorry to hear that... I will be there this time, but haven't been the last couple of years. Should I stay home, based on what you're saying?

Until just now I didn't know it was going to be a pool side event.

A pool party with almost all dudes, and those guys are going to dip as soon as they realize it's a sausage fest. LMAO Classic. Good thinking AVN. In case you guys forgot, this industry is all about pussy.

theres other reasons to go to shows besides picking up girls, picking up girls should be your last priority, but i agree, no one wants to go to a sausage fest.

Big E 07-14-2005 08:31 AM

I decided a long time when AVN first came out with this bullshit that I wasn't going to go to this show. I think it's going to be a disaster.

Sure, the primary reason for the show is about business, but it ain't ALL about business - if it was, why even schedule "parties"? Because we like to PARTY (duh) and who the fuck wants to go to a party with a bunch of dudes? Pass.

ronaldo 07-14-2005 09:01 AM

I'm certainly not adverse to having "Talent" passes, but how do you determine WHAT is talent? Everyone wants the hot girls by the pool, I'm sure Aly included.

How many people would bring their wives along and simply say they were "Talent" to avoid the $300? A whole bunch of people. I don't agree that wives and woman who really aren't talent should be getting in for free. Legitimate talent? Most definitely.

If there's a solution to that that I missed in this thread, I'd sure love for someone to post it so AVN could see it.

Dirty D 07-14-2005 09:04 AM

Greed is killing this convention...

AVN has nothing to gain by charging full badge rates for girls (talent, booth, promo, etc)... and everything to LOSE. Is AVN really worried that they will be overrun with (free) girls eating the free lunches?

It sounds like the unoffical offsite parties will rock because girls can go!
(Please send all VIP party invites to Dirty D!)

"watch and see"

see?

FUCKuPAYme 07-14-2005 09:08 AM

It doesn't make sense if AVN doesn't just let the girls in free to a pool party.

hope they are sitting around brainstorming and fix this sausage fest

They don't have to be talent if there not there to network they shouldn't have to pay to hang at the pool and hotel..

If they hung out on the showroom floor thats another story. so waht do you tell your wife, honey you can't come out of your room till its dark out.

aimeesweet 07-14-2005 09:22 AM

What if instead of letting every model in for free, AVN offered a pass to them at a dicounted rate...like $20 a day or $50 for three days. Kind of like a cover charge at a club...That way everyone is happy...or almost happy!

I certainly agree with that to a point, but how is THAT helping the sponsors giving out free drinks by the pool? They want a return on their investment and their investment would get a LOT deeper if the models just sat by the pool and drank for free for three days. As a guy, it'd be GREAT for me, but I'm also looking at it from the sponsors point of view.

Yes btw, I DO tell my wife to stay in her room until dark. She's more presentable in darker light. :winkwink:

Roger will be a very grumpy boy and we will have to take him to South Beach to find more, But wait you will have to get a Room in South Beach because you can NOT bring any them back to the hotel without a badge.

This is truly a big problem. LOL

Can't wait to see you in a few weeks

That sounds fine to me because of the free food.

You can't move everyone to a pool party and make people's wives and girlfriends there pay to hang out at the pool and lobby we all paid the hotel for rooms, you see my point?

If its the floor where the booths are then i understand but even then I wouldn't charge for woman but thats just me, Unless they have a site or they are they promoting something.

Webmasters will remember your sponsored event alot better if they got laid from it or had a great time :2 cents:

But don't take my word for it. I'm always giving money away to earn there business.

I just think a little compromise would be good...If I wasn't in the industry and I wanted to go with my man for a little R&R I would hate to pay $300...but at the same time there are free drinks and food so there should be some small admission charge to cover basic costs...

Let's work this out...because I want to see hot chicks at the pool too!

I guess the sponsors would be paying to have the girls there ... but that would keep the guys that there trying to do biz with there also .. i can tell ya that if i go out by the pool ... in august ... it's going to be for drinks and eye candy. if it's a bunch of guys I'm going to do my biz and jet .... head out to a place that's hoppin .. :2 cents:

That's true. I can't really argue with that.

I like the idea of a 3 day pass for $100 for women-with no access to seminars.

Not that what I like matters though.

It helps sopnsors because guys end up staying and talking biz and networking.

I don't hear sponsors bitching about having to do so. They're bitching that IF there are NO girls then webmasters will SPLIT and head to a place where there are.

If a sponsor is paying for drinks they should get some money if they don't want the models and hot ass drinking for free. then I'll pay for my girls to drink and eat no prob. but to make me pay for them to hang out at the hotel is crazy.

And even if there is free food i already know my girls will bitch and I'll have to take them somewhere nice to eat or I'm hoping some webmasters will take them off my hands and show them a good time .LOL

Aimee you know I'm the last one to bitch but they are going to lose alot of biz if everyone takes off from the hotel. Free girls is a rule for any type of event if you want it to be successful :2 cents:

Ron made some very valid points so what if they lose a few bucks we sponsors always do entertaining clients but it all comes back

J$tyle$ 07-14-2005 09:55 AM

If a sponsor pays 10K for a cabana and 10% - 20% of the drinks are going to girls it can be construed as part of their cost of doing business. If not, and 50 - 60% of the guys leave because there are no chicks/eyecandy what's the downside then?

Of course these are arbitrary numbers BUT I think letting girls in might be the lesser of 2 evils.

I agree!

Aly...please think of the girls in the industry before charging models. It's bad enough that Holly from NakedSword will be looking to score with every single girl in the industry, but now we're going to have to fight off the horny GFY male webmasters with sex toys just to keep them from getting in our pants! Our fronts (and backs) are now being attacked by two nympho forces! This means we are going to have to work mega OT (Obstructing Touch)! :winkwink:

Its a simple fix

emagine guys who know girls in Miami and the door guys won't let them into the hotel If I was a webmaster and I saw that I would get upset.

I love you guys and I'm there to network all day but I'm not going back to my room alone and i certainly not going to rub lotion on your back unless your a really hot gay guy who has traffic :1orglaugh

But in reality it happens already at the shows if its all guys people take off lets make this the best show ever and let all the girls in free :2 cents:

then those girls will tell there friends to come by because its fun and not a sausage fest and free drinks and food. now you really have a pool party

Just wondering, does Miami have one of those "what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas" policies?

MikeVega 07-14-2005 10:07 AM

I have to add that about 5 years ago ... we just had an adult search engine that was a side project. Email lists were selling like hot cakes and that was our main focus. we went down to the Miami show just to check it out. We didn't really know anyone and we were just trying to get a bigger picture of the biz. that show really got us interested in moving towards adult more and I can tell you that if it was a Big Meat party we would most likely have stayed home the following year. I'm sure there are a lot of first timers coming to the show and these people like myself at the time are future biz for all of us. If the show sucks I'm sure the #'s will drop. It's a shame .. i really like the show and the hotel ... but it maybe my last ... I can spend that 10k on 3 smaller shows and still see everyone i love to hang and do biz with ... :2 cents:
