I'll skip the five pages of responses in this thread and the no doubt repeated pissing and moaning whether the motivation is misery loving company, jealousy, poor financials, hatred of AVN or whatever... and just say this:
1. If you have nothing good to say about shows whether you go or not, do yourself and everyone a favor and just stop going.
2. Its unfortunate because the sheep out there will read into all this negativity which I'm sure there is plenty and possibly formulate their business decisions on the rantings of the haters who can't find business opportunities or are just not looking.
If you aren't making the money you used to, why ruin it for others? Focus on your own problems.
I got plenty of biz opps at the Summer AVN show. I couldn't give a rats ass how big or small it is. Shows are a very important part of biz for me... socially and professionally. This industry needs them.
Perhaps the day will come when the only attendees who go to shows are there to really do business or perhaps are the only ones still in business?
