The one telling comment was that most of those I saw that day, won't be in the biz next year!
I was at the XBIZ show as well. It was a nice mix of party and business for me. I had several meetings set up before I even arrived and ran into more people that may become business relations. It was definitely unbalanced in the gay to straight ratio, but I rather enjoyed the opportunity to network with people who operate on the "other side of the coin". I got some nice ideas for our site from a completely new and noncompetitive perspective. I will be back next year.
