If it were not for porn they would be flipping burgers at BK. just look at 99% of the threads on this board "barfootsie this" and "Mr frisky that" Jesus why would i want to spend 4 days anywhere with the cry babies in this biz. In the OLD days MEN were fucking MEN. we didnt cry to MODS when someone pissed on us. we didnt start this frivolous BS crap. we PISSED to PISS and made money doing it. THATS why i enjoyed shows then and DONT enjoy shows now.
THAT is my point. for ME shows are about BUSINESS NOT FUN. this industry is about MONEY PERIOD. its a shame. i had a lot of fun back then but i enjoy my life way more now.
so PLEASE except the fact and understand NOT EVERYONE IS LIKE YOU.
thank you

Agreed.
When I go to conferences, I really go to meet with industry people for the sake of doing business or exploring opportunities. I do not drink anymore. Never smoked or had done drugs (not judging those who do, simply saying partying is more a less over for me). So when I am there, I am looking for a R.O.I. of both money and time. Typically being out of the office costs me money.
When I go someplace for fun, the last thing I would want to be around is industry people.

Agree with you again. Plus they need to spread them out.
Right now there is ONE show on the east coast, and it is typically the most expensive. (I am mainly talking about the U.S. based shows where most go) There rest are all west coast or international. This is not including the consumer trades either.
If they did less shows, more people would come. In this state of the industry, and the way shows have been on the decline. Few want to waste the time and money going to them anymore I am noticing. There are still some, and good business to be gotten from them. But most companies are not going to keep going to 1-2 shows every 30 days.
