Luke and Danny, congrats to you both! The awards ceremony was wonderful though the room was insanely crowded (they let the public in before the ceremony, unlike last year, so no one could move...)

As for items being stolen, the only situation I'm aware of was at the opening dinner. There was a large table up front, next to the stage, where CCBill had set up the champaign bottles to be given to sponsors as a "thank you" for their support. All the bottles were individually engraved with the name of the sponsor. Someone wandered up to the table, grabbed the bottle for Corbin Fisher, opened it, and started drinking from it. I'm sure it wasn't intentional, but it was certainly a major faux pas.

There has been zero trouble at the show. The SWAT Team guys were hired, not called. Everything is running smoothly , and the 80's Party was rockin' good fun! Food and drink are plentiful, and the 2nd shift bartender is a HOTTIE!

:p

Oh yeah .. and the business part is better than I expected. The best Newbee seminar I've ever been to .. the legal seminar was packed and I'm looking forward to the traffic one today.

I think the sponcers should be right proud of the first Gay Phoenix Forum!

:cheerleader:

Madame is right - there's been zero problems other than a really slow internet connection. The service at the hotel has been excellent, the food is fantastic and the sponsors are to definately be praised highly for a truly classy event all around.
