I've never been, but I just booked my hotel room on hotwire.com. $70 a night for 4 star Marriott ($365 a night on Expedia). What a deal!
I love the pics I've seen from Southern Decadence. So, can I take my digital camera and take pics and legally post them on the internet?
I can't wait for September :groovy:
'Party' type content IMHO is a tricky one legally and as much as i would like to be able to give you a solid yes/no answer your best bet would be to speak to an attorney about it.
I beleive there has been some recent news stories on avn.com about this type of content too you may like to check out :)
Sorry i couldnt be much more help than that :(

Lee... have you ever been to Southern Decadence?

Lee

It was a good time. And Lee, if you want to go... you can.

Xstr8guy,
You are not allowed to bring camera's etc. into the clubs but I'm not sure about in the streets... I know alot of people get their photos on the streets.
I'll be there... Hopefully my DJ Booking at phoenix bar is still good.
I think I'll be there about 3 days maybe 2 if I'm lucky.
I know for a fact they don't and will not allow you to bring a camera in there..
IMO if you do take pictures at S.D. 2004, you'd better get ready to be sued...!!!
People are onto those webmasters posting those types of photos.:baby:
Did you stop to think, maybe these guys (with the SD Photos)may have brought their models with them. That would be your best bet. Shoot your legal content and re-sell or keep it exclusivly.
Perhaps you should carry some Model Release Forms, a Scanner for taking a copy of their Photo ID, etc.
Just some thoughts...
southernexposure, I've never taken my own content photos from public events or licensed photo use. But I've seen plenty of public event photos on websites such as Kev's Cave and they have photos of Mardi Gras, Southern Decadence, etc. So you're saying this is illegal? I though that when someone was in public, they had no expectation of privacy.
Well, I was going just to have fun anyways. If I can't take photos for web use... no biggie. Maybe, I'll see you there!
How about the $70 a night hotel room at the Marriott? Can you beat that with a stick?
"I though that when someone was in public, they had no expectation of privacy. "
Not 100% sure of that one.. But all the clubs have signs posted that no cameras, etc allowed inside.
:crybaby:
Can someone explain to the dumb straight man what Southern Decadence is.:artsy:

I guess you would consider it a big circuit party in New Orleans on Labor Day weekend. It's kinda like a gay Mardi Gras.
Hi,
I am new to this board and thought that this would be the best place to say hi as I am from New Orleans and will be at SD! It's tons of fun and tons of HOT guys! Look me up when your there maybe I can throw together a little get together for all of us to meet!
WOOF!
Buck
Buck! Welcome to GWW!
I'm so happy to see you here. Bec has been singing your praises for so long I feel i know you.
Hope to see you around often.
Hope you have a great time this year at SD.
My best,
Gary-Alan
As you may already know - BoysGoneBad.com is our latest addition to the PrideBucks affiliate program. BoysGoneBad is half public nudity content and half sex party content. It is a hot niche that converts great with all sorts of traffic. If you're interested in promoting BoysGoneBad - you can do so at PrideBucks.com or email us if you have any questions.
To answer your question, the courts have been very clear about this issue. When you are in public, especially when getting naked or flashing for the public, you have no expectation of privacy.
However, this past year at southern decadence you could not bring any cameras into the clubs and the police cracked down on public displays hauling people who got caught off to jail. So it is very difficult get public content, especially public male nudity.
I am planning on being in New Orleans for SD. I have been several times and as a married straight woman it is a real blast. I adore New Orleans.
When time gets closer we can get a group together there for cocktails one evening.
:bow:
Hi Gary-Alan,
Thanks so much. Bec totally ROCKS! Yes you will see me around here more for sure. I am really excited to be here.
WOOF!
Buck
Whohoo!! You made it!!! Big hug to Buck!!
So how's the photo shoots going in Los Angeles??
Isn't this Southern Decadence the gay pride festival, or is this something else? I know New Orleans holds theirs later than June because of the heat ...
I want to go so bad!
is there a link that I can get more information?

I usually go to the parties at OZ. The Burbon pub is also good, right across the street.
Jim
Ok, we are getting closer to labor day. Anyone else planning on going this year?
My other company that I own just got booked at the 735 club for D-Dance's event there to put on a laser show. WOOOHOO :thumbsup:
Jim
Thanks for bumping the thread, nicedreams.
If anyone else is planning on going to SD, please let us know in this thread. It would be nice to meet up somewhere for a Hurricane!
i went to southern decadence last year with the sole purpose of shooting, and it was a big waste of time. there were so many problems, warnings, threats & other stuff, i barely got any good pics.
ask harlan from pridebucks... he was there with me
After careful consideration... I am going to by pass SD this year and go to Qwebec Expo in Quebec City For Labor Day.

I'll be in New Orleans later in September.:bush:
Yeah, probably not much luck at that. We'll have our cameras with us just in case though. But i'll probably be focusing on my beer, music and fondling of boys. :angel: I'm excited already.Quote:

Any of you guys coming to SD email me if you wanna have a drink or just some fun!!

WOOF!
Buck
I'm going to SD. too
This would be my third time There. It would be nice to get to meet some of you there. I just don't like the weather but who cares about that when is party time.
I like to give real answers to real questions. I also don't mind giving a little free legal advice.
I am going to assume that any images taken at Southern Decadence are for commericial purposes--you want images to put on a site that generates revenue. So, that being said---
If you plan to gather images, even on the streets at SD, you need a release from people that can be identified in your images. So, if you take a shot of a crowd of people, you need a release from each person that can be identified. I know that kind of stifles the image gathering, but follow the rules and keep yourself out of trouble.
I am a lawyer in real life, not just on the internet~
I still - unbelievably - never been to New Orleans. This Labor Day Weekend I'll be in Michigan anyways. However, I'll probably be partying there later this year.
And a webmaster gathering there definately sounds in order.
