We exhibited at AEE 2 years ago, and that went well because we were part of the Paladin exhibit and weren't responsible for anything but showing up and looking good. Last year we skipped the trip to Las Vegas entirely, but this year we decided to go for the fun of it, rather than with expectations of doing business. That way we didn't feel disappointed. But I do feel bad for the exhibitors at both shows who spent money for little return. We bought fan tickets for the AEE show on Friday, and wow... what a disappointment that was. The "gay ghetto" was dead, dead, dead... at least the guys had each other to talk to. I wanted some autographs from the 1 Distribution models and was refused unless I signed up for their email spam list. I was like "huh??".

Like David & Eddie, being part-production and part-webmaster, it would make more sense for us to attend a combined gay internet/video convention for the industry. With AEE and InterNext separated next year, I don't think we'd be interested in doing either one. Maybe GayVN or someone should consider it, because the way it's working right now is dysfunctional to the gay segment of the industry.
