Like others, I felt the gay side of the show was fragmented. It didn't feel like there was a home base. Our community has been divided by drama over the past year and I definitely felt it at this show.

I think, by moving the show to the beginning of March, AVN will be shooting themselves in the head. I can't see the point of going to a quasi-okay show and great show all in the same month. What will have changed between the beginning and the end of March that I'll have to see everyone again? I'll probably just choose the Phoenix Forum and leave it at that.

COULD SOMEONE AT AVN PLEASE LEARN HOW TO PUT UP SIGNS FOR THE REGISTRATIONS AREA?

COULD SOMEONE AT AVN PLEASE TAKE A BRANDING 101 COURSE TO MAKE IT EASIER FOR ATTENDEES TO FIGURE OUT WHERE THEY ARE GOING?

Was it AVN, AVN Online, AVN Video, Internext? Stood in the wrong line initially to register for Internext. And then after I did the lube and dildo floor, I left. I had no idea there was another floor upstairs. I didn't every find the seminars. What a mess. The AVN gang should attend the Phoenix Forum and learn how to do it: pick a nice-sized hotel with a central courtyard - everything happens there (and if it isn't happening there, you meet your friends there, or you'll meet someone who knows where the pool party is) it's easy as pie.

desslock, excellent review and assessment, I couldn't agree more.
