Funny quote of the day:

This evening whilst discussing our current apartment and how we had outgrown it,  Gracie (Tyler Grace) commented: “It’s gotten so small in here, I can’t scratch my ass without elbowing somebody in the back”.

Wow I’ve been so busy since those shows that I didn’t get a chance to enter anything about them until today.

The AEE (often called AVN ) show was very consumer oriented this year. Unless you’re pushing DVD’s or a die-fan there’s not a lot to attend for anymore. I didn’t bother going to the awards, it’s kind of like the oscars - unless you’re nominated or recieiving an award - it’s a waste of a perfectly good Saturday night.

Internext was great this year.

First up I want to thank John of John G Models World for sponsoring my pass this year. John is a really great guy with some fantastic ideas - we may very well be collaborating on a new concept in the very near future - though for now it’s theme is top secret…. I like leaving everyone in suspense!!!

This year was great for me because unlike previous years when I have been exhibiting or booked up on shoots, I went in with no plans - and decided this was a great opportunity to catch up on what I have been missing out on during the past year by attending the seminars. A lot of webmasters think of internext as a party & networking fest… but I gotta say, if you don’t go to the seminars you’re missing out!!! Amongst topics this year were “The next generation of users” , Piracy issues/prevention , and of course 2257.

During one seminar luncheon break, I ran into an old aquaintance from Australia - Annie, webmistress of GirlsOutWest.com. It turns out that Annie is one of only a handful of people who have any of my ‘vintage’ content. She had shot me in the ONLY scene I shot with ex-husband Firehorse and even more amazingly it was shot in Tasmania. Annie told me that even now, years later it’s still one of the top downloaded videos on the site, month after month. I’ve never actually seen the final edit myself.. so I must remember to ICQ Annie for a pass!

It was great to catch up with some great ppl I have known for many years and haven’t seen in a long long time.

Here’s a pic of me with long time friends (L-R) Good Girl & Baddog of Got Web Host and Aaron Matthews of Atomic Web Works.

And I had lots of fun taking this pic - this is me with Lady Mischief of Home Grown Video

The venue being the palms was interesting, I liked the use of Rain nightclub as the show floor because it was much more intimate and it was more netowrking oriented this year - no the tradition “expo” style. From what I gathered talking to others who attended, the newbs were not so keen on the venue - I think largely due to the fact they had a pre-conceived idea if what the show should be based on what they may have seen online of previous shows. For us old-schoolers who have been around a long time - the idea of small and personal is a much better format.. we’ve progressed beyond the “Girls doing shows on poles in the booths’ and Hummer giveaways in the showfloor… those kind of gimmicks are best left to the AEE show

I must say though that living in Vegas does make it less of an “event” to attend the show, and I am really looking forward to being at Internext Florida in the summer.. I’ll get a chance to wear my bikini

As much as I started this blog intending to NOT repost articles from other ppl’s blogs - I can’t help myself on this one:

This article comes from Mike South, his blog is at: http://www.mikesouth.com

Feds Ask the 6Th Circuit For a Re-Hearing on 2257
By MikeSouth

In a motion that has largely been ignored by the adult press the feds have petitioned the sixth circuit for a re-hearing on the 2257 case that they struck down.

This was not totally unexpected, particularly when election year politicking can turn it into a hot button issue. Industry observers like Mark Kernes ( AVN did report on this) are pointing out how weak the governments case is but at the same time are ignoring the fact that this is percieved by the public as a child pornography law and in an election year things like that get a lot more sensitive.

The almost unanimous ruling last year (even the one dissenting judge pointed out constitutional issues in his opinion) does makes it unlikely that a rehearing will be granted, making the next step be for an en banc hearing should the government lose again, after that, should it fail, or be upheld in the en banc hearing, the government would have to file a writ of certiorari attempting to get the supreme court to hear the case.

Not wanting to be caught with their pants down around their ankles and their hands in the cookie jar again, THIS TIME the FSC is wasting no time in filing an amicus brief, at which point, no doubt they will take credit for the whole thing.
