Anyone know what stars are going and when they will be at the convention? Any ADTers going? Are cameras allowed like at AEE? Anything else interesting to add?
Cool.That site doesn't have much info at all. I've been coming back to it for several weeks now hoping to find out more. There's a short list of some stars that will be there; pictures actually, that you have to go through one at a time. The message boards are full of spam, with very little info: Just a few announcements of a few stars that will be there, but no times.
They've got good info on the seminars and the stage schedule, but nothing about what is appropriate, and of course no schedules for the stars, which is why I asked here.
Thank you for replying though; you gave some useful info.

The convention hours are Friday March 30: 4 - 11pm Saturday March 31: 12 - 11pm Sunday April 1: 12 - 7pm
I'm bringing Sasha Grey down for Evil Angel and we'll be at the Genesis booth. Sasha's hours are: Friday - 5-10pm Saturday - 5-10pm Sunday - 12-5pm
I'll be speaking at a panel called 'Everything you always wanted to know about porn' with a few other people. It's a one hour panel of talking and Q&A starting at 7pm Friday, 3:30pm Saturday, and 4pm Sunday. I believe that Sasha will be on the panel with me on Sunday.
We'll also be at the Genesis party on Friday evening.
I never thought I'd say this about ANYTHING that happens in Florida, but I'm sorry I'm going to miss this ... I'd love to hear you & Sasha hold forth in a public forum, because you are both extremely well-spoken and take no guff, and find the pro-sex/pro-humanity spin amid rampant negativity and sleazeballism.
This has the makings of a good time. South Beach has a cool vibe, at least it did last year when I went...and now this year with names added like Hillary Scott, Jenna Haze, Sasha Grey, Nikki Benz, Daisy Marie, Ava Rose, Vanessa Lane, etc. it should be a great chance to get some nice "bodcasts" done with my camera. And party on Friday night...chyeah!!!
I wondered where you two were today. 30 hours in the airport... I feel for you. I hope you at least get into Miami some time tonight so you can attend the show tomorrow.
I live in Ft. Lauderdale and was gonna offer to scoop you up at Ft. Laud International, if you couldnt fly direct to Miami. I'm heading down to the convention tomorrow anyway, so it wouldnt be an issue.

tatboy- I had my secretary online for a few hours on Friday looking for options as far away as Atlanta. I figured, hell... I'm gonna be at this airport for maybe 24 hours, i can fly to Orlando or Atlanta and rent a car and drive and get there faster. But by the time we made the decision to try to switch airlines, EVERYTHING that didn't require changing a plane was sold out or over $1000.
Sasha was the one who was late to the airport because she wasn't feeling well. I could have checked in on time for our original flight, but I wasn't going to strand her at LAX.
I'm so very sorry you had all those complicating factors & wont be able to attend the show tomorrow.
I'm bummed - was looking forward to your presence.
Yes, due to mass influx of Spring Break'ers it becomes next to impossible to book flights, rent cars & such unless you had the capacity to do it a month or so ahead of time. I'm going to assume you waited a bit longer to book?
The decision you made to not leave Sasha stranded at LAX, was one based on morals & ethics and you made the right decision (under the assumption she and you are friends).
I dont really know who else is attending tomorrow. The eXXXotica website is very sketchy and not very well done, as far as information is concerned. I'm contemplating on not going at all. You & Sasha not showing up, takes a lot of the fun out of my trip down there.
Are you aware of when there will be another adult type show in the Florida area, at any point in 2007?
Again, I'm sorry you cant make it. Quite bummed...

tatboy- Sasha is a friend of mine, but we don't hang, if anything because we're both REALLY busy.
Regardless, Sasha was my responsbility because she was appearing on behalf of Evil Angel, and I'm EA's publicist. So I would have stayed behind for any girl who was representing my company, even if I had never met her before.
I booked the tickets a month ahead. But that didn't matter. Because once we missed the original flight, we didn't have a backup flight ALSO booked, so it went to not being able to purchase any other tickets the day of, and nothing being available on standby.
Thanks for being so sweet, btw. I'm SO bummed about not being there, and while the thought of people wanting to see me bums me a bit more, it also makes me feel a little better on such a crappy weekend.
Oh, and there is Nightmoves in October in Tampa. Not as good, but still lots of porn girls.

OMG - that's f'ing BRILLIANT. Next time I HAVE to fly during a spring break or christmas or thanksgiving week time, I'm gonna book a SECOND flight on a different airline for the following day in case the girl i'm with somehow misses the flight. I'll just make sure that second one is exchangable or refundable.
Missed you guys there!! I was wondering what happened to you...I was looking forward to getting some bodcasts of Sasha haha! It was alright, little bigger than last year...kinda like Erotica LA without the big crowds!! I'll have some pics up quite soon. And for the record I heart Hillary Scott! She's darling.
The show was great. The Genesis booth was the best place to be at with Jenna Haze and Hillary Scott. I met the quiet sister, Ava Rose. Taylor Wayne was hilarious. Lexi Bardot was very cool. Sunny Lane was very cute. Amber Rayne , I'm ready for a one on one scene with you.
Gina Lynn Productions booth had Gina Lynn, Nikki Benz, and Alexis Amore. Three beautiful voluptuous women.
Thanks to Hillary Scott for not wearing panties on Friday night.
Evan Seinfeld looked like he lost 50 lbs. Tera Patrick still looks beautiful. Jenna Jameson looks better in person than her recent pics. I saw Jenna Jameson's b/f Tito Ortiz. Noahped looks like he bulked up. It must be that heavy camera that he lifts all the time.
Tommy Gunn and Ron Jeremy talking together looked like a before and after picture. I talked to Randy Spears who was signing for Wicked. Also Keylani Lei was signing for Wicked and very nice to talk with.
Tricia and Sasha Grey were missed. I was asking about you at the Genesis Booth. You missed a good time. I'll hopefully see you at Erotica L.A. , and Nightmoves (The Tampa Show).
I had to work early the next morning , so I didn't catch any of the official parties. I wished I didn't have to work the next day, but I would've regretted it the next morning. This was the second year of Exxxotica Miami and the second year of me going.

aww, thanks. Hopefully the Genesis people aren't furious at me and will give me a second chance next year. I'm still heartbroken over not being there. I was REALLY looking forward to doing the panels. :(
I'm not sure I'm going to be at Erotica LA except maybe to hang out with some friends a tiny bit. And I think I'm confirmed to be at the Barcelona show this year instead of Nightmoves.
No that's a body cast...a bodcast is a podcast in picture form, at least that's what I was trying to get at when I wrote it??? You should know me by now, I always make up new weird words that nobody understands.
Exxxotica was fun. I've never been to one of these before, so I'm not sure what I was expecting. It was a little smaller than I had expected, but still, lots and lots of vendors were there and a pretty fair amount of talent too.
My biggest surprise was the attitudes of the girls (stars) working the booths. I guess I was expecting some sort of detached demeanor or at least the impression of being bored with standing there for hours. I'm happy to report that I was greeted with genuine friendliness by all of the girls. Jenna Haze and Sunny Lane were especially nice and a real thrill to meet, albeit briefly.
Carmen Luvana and Hillary Scott are both so much more petite in person that I had expected. Both were also very nice. Hillary looks very good licking penis shaped candy. I have a few pictures as proof. :) She GRACIOUSLY offered to let me lick the balls, as "they taste especially good." I politely declined and took pictures instead.
I spoke to Randy Spears for a few minutes, as I wanted to share my opinion of his "way with women" with him. Another genuinely nice guy that I'm glad to have briefly met.
Lela Star seemed a little bored, but perked up enormously when I told her how amazing I thought her performances were. She assured me that she can't really do anything that she's not "into" so what we see on video is as real as it looks.
I didn't meet Brea Bennett, but caught a few pictures of her as she was being introduced by someone to a big crowd. She's stunning in person, in a perfect girl next door kind of way.
Watching and listening to the panel on Saturday was fun. I especially enjoyed hearing a few of the girls answer a question about facials; mainly because Jenna Haze piped up and said "actually, I prefer to swallow the cum shots." Did I mention how cute and nice she is in person? :)
I spotted Noah near the end of my day at the convention on Saturday and we talked for a few minutes. Cool guy. On the other hand, I'm super jealous for at least 3 reasons. First, he spotted April and got pictures of her. Damn! I didn't even see her. Second, I saw Madison Monroe posing in front of the Lambo Murcielago, but *totally* missed who she was and didn't take pictures. Damn again. Finally, Noah either has a silver tongue or is well known by the girls as many of his pictures were taken away from the booths and he got some great poses out of many of the girls. I'm jealous, jealous, jealous. :)
The floor is a tough place to get good pictures. Congratulations on some good ones Noah.
The lines at the Club Jenna booth were ungodly and started literally an hour or more before Jenna showed up to sign. I didn't bother as I'm not a big enough fan to wait like that. It was interesting and sort of heartening to see *so* many girls in line to meet and greet Jenna Jameson. Many of them getting very close for pictures with her, as you'd expect friends to do. One girl standing around in the booth, with enormous boobs had on a shirt that said "Tabitha Loves Jenna". I asked her if that was a movie with Tabitha Stevens or something. She said, "No, I'm Tabitha." I again asked about a movie. She then told me she's just a huge fan, and her name is Tabitha, so she was wearing the shirt. Cool.
Thanks to all the talent and industry folks that showed up. Those were some long, long days to be in a convention center I am sure. I very much appreciated you being there, and especially meeting some of the stars.

I used Lauderdale/Hollywood; anything to avoid the Miami airport. Anyway, I liked this show and hope Ben and J. (the event's creators) continue to grow the Exxxotica Miami brand in the years ahead. Randy, jessica, Kaylani, and Carmen were well-recieved and had a great time. On the party front, we ended up at the Mansion almost every night (for the Hustler Lingerie party and a couple other industry events).
Tricia, you are so diplomatic and professional and gracious, even in this situation. I think Sasha Grey owes Evil Angel big time for this major fuck up.

3sb- thanks for always being on my side. :)
Everybody makes a mistake now and then. Sure, this one ended up being MAJOR... I give people 2nd chances, but usually not a 3rd chance.
I adore Sasha, and I know she's not the type to just be careless. For what it's worth, she was a total trooper all weekend, trudging from gate to gate with me, getting only a few hours of sleep, and all that.
Well, I decided not to attend the eXXXotica Miami Beach convention. I saw Noahped's photo gallery and was wondering if there were others on dvdtalk or on the net.

Harri- only $3.65 million? no problem. LOL
John and I are SO conservative financially it's gotten to be an inside joke at our company. I have us signed up for every frequent flyer program for ANY airline we've ever flown once.
I don't understand why anyone would schedule a convention anywhere near a Spring Break location during the week before Easter.
Last year, I attended a conference, held by a software vendor with whom my company does business, that took place Sun-Wed the week before Easter, about a mile outside the gates of Disney World. Everything ended up being a big pain in the ass.
Thanks dude, cool meeting you too. Didn't know if anyone else from ADT would be there besides mrbluelouboyle, glad you ran into me on your way out. And no don't be jealous, I definitely do not have a silver tongue...I think I just try to shoot whenever I can and have a memorable face with many of the girls, maybe it's my big ears.
I would first and foremost like to apologize to Genesis Magazine and Evil Angel for not making it to Exxxotica Miami this weekend.
As some of you may have heard, I thought we were going to the Burbank airport (I've never been to LAX). When I was about five minutes from Burbank, I was double-checking my flight info and realized the departure said Los Angeles, and immediately called Tricia. I got to LAX right at the 45-minute mark to check your bags in (a heads up to travellers as I wasn't aware of this). The airport security placed Tricia and I in the wrong line, so when we went to check in our bags they wouldn't allow us because they said we were not waiting in the correct line! This truly upset me because although I was later than I should have been, I was technically on time to check in- they could have checked our bags and let us through. I'm sorry to all of my fans that I could not meet you there this weekend!
Tricia and I were on stand by for about 36 hours and didn't get on about 13 flights. With 2-3 hours of sleep both nights. We left the airport Saturday at 1:30 after the last standby flight of the afternoon took off.
It is not in my nature or character to fail. I am very disappointed in myself for letting something this critical happen, and I hope that I will be forgiven. Thank you for sticking it out with me Tricia:)
While that's insanely extravagant (yes, I know that it was a joke), I'm surprised that the good porn companies don't handle travel the same way that other businesses do. When I travel on business, someone at my office (the same person who books the flights and makes hotel reservations) arranges for a car service to pick me up at home and take me to the airport. When I return, the same car service takes me home.
There are no issues with the person traveling needing to know anything about the flight in order for us to get to the correct terminal at the correct airport at the correct time. Our only responsibility is to be packed and ready to leave at the time that the car service is scheduled to pick us up.
From what I can tell, this is the norm in the business world.
Could never be mad at you Tricia. I was so grateful you guys were going to come in the first place, and couldn't believe what you and Sasha went through to try to get down there after you missed the flight.
I want to go on record and say that both Tricia and Sasha were incredible in their efforts to try to get to Miami and you were both sorely missed. You guys were amazing and hopefully we can all hang another time!
No apologies needed Sasha. Thank you for all the effort you and Tricia put in trying to get down there. I would've given up way sooner! Hopefully we'll try again some other time.
