XBIZ Summer draws record 1200+ attendees - forced to move from July for 2009.. [poll] - GoFuckYourself.com

HELMY · 07-14-2008, 11:04 AM

Huge thanks to the sponsors of the XBIZ Summer '08 Forum for supporting our biggest show to date - we simply couldn't have done it without you.

As much as we've ignored the issue of heat in the past, we can no longer continue to do so.

Expect a new month for 2009.

Meeper · 07-14-2008, 11:05 AM

Great show indeed! Wheres the poll?

tranza · 07-14-2008, 11:08 AM

I don't get it, if it was such a success, why are you guys changing the dates?

I think the thread mentions the intense heat is the reason.

RyuLion · 07-14-2008, 11:14 AM

yeap, 112 took my energy away..though I don't understand who I didn't get sun burned because I didn't put any lotion..

baddog · 07-14-2008, 11:15 AM

Forget who I was talking to about this, but they said they still wanted it to be a month that was "pool weather."

I am not sure what months are pool worthy in Vegas but still available. How does mid-October look?

Socks · 07-14-2008, 11:18 AM

Seems too close to Internext to me

SteveLightspeed · 07-14-2008, 11:19 AM

Part of what makes it a well-attented show is that it doesn't compete with anything else in July. It was unusually hot this year, but last year was perfect.

tony286 · 07-14-2008, 11:22 AM

Congrats but before moving to a bigger place in 2009.I would see what the rest of 2008 holds for our industry. Just a thought.

JenniDahling · 07-14-2008, 11:24 AM

There's a nice window after the Phx Forum and before Cybernet, how about something in May? Vegas is still mild.

Got Porn? · 07-14-2008, 11:25 AM

Vegas has perfect weather in May

Webmaster Access is in May.

webgurl · 07-14-2008, 11:46 AM

the flights/room rates is low season thats the only benefit
otherwise the insane heat over-rides everything to make the show
a lil more difficult to attend . Maybe this is just a CND speaking though ... haha

John. · 07-14-2008, 11:51 AM

What's the point in having a poll if you're mind is already made up? You said "expect" changes next year..

SiMpLe · 07-14-2008, 11:52 AM

Bah leave it - The heat wasn't that bad. I would just lose the cabana's and have the b2b inside. Prob solved. I love that hotel, mushy beds and LCD's hehe

SiMpLe · 07-14-2008, 11:54 AM

I do have one bitch though and it's the hotel and not Xbiz...

THERE WERE NO POKER TABLES!!!

lame

SykkBoy · 07-14-2008, 11:54 AM

I think the most insane thing was those of us golfing on Tuesday in the 111 degree heat...

um, but the fact that Vegas Ken, Joe from xxxcash and myself all shot um....90...made up for it...that's why we golfed as the last group...had nothing to do with me being late...everything due to us not wanting to show up any other golfers... ;-)

payd2purv · 07-14-2008, 11:56 AM

Heat stroke is a bitch...

SykkBoy · 07-14-2008, 11:59 AM

the pros of July: it fits nicely between Cybernet and Internext without them being too close together.
usually easier to get better room rates and flight packages that month.

the cons of July: the heat

I had a really good time despite the heat...the poolside view was great
as a resident of Vegas, I'm used to constant construction, so that wasn't a huge issue for me.

what are the chances of a September show? would still be pool weather, but much cooler than July

Easton · 07-14-2008, 12:02 PM

i'm from phoenix and i still found it hotter there than at home...

and no way was i stepping into the tepid public pool of human filth and urine called a swimming pool - so yeah it's real hot in the sun when you're not in the pool LOL

What about October?

CarlosTheGaucho · 07-14-2008, 12:11 PM

As far as there are so many shows already it's kind of tough to find a different term I guess.

September has 1st of all, Labour day weekend, The Atlanta Forum,then Webmaster Access Amst,closly followed by Octoberfest

Yes the heat was pretty intense this year , but still everyone seemed to enjoy most of it. Just remember HYDRATE

_Richard_ · 07-14-2008, 12:16 PM

great show all around.. heat was bad.. not crazy tho

D-Money · 07-14-2008, 12:18 PM

It was a great show Alec. I love the time of year, but I agree, the heat was a bitch.

Even my venue was in the 90's.

AND I would keep it in Vegas. February or March maybe?

Flip Flop Xbiz Hollywood with Vegas Summer.

Whaaaalla!

SykkBoy · 07-14-2008, 12:35 PM

oops, my bad, I forgot about all the September shows going on....
I need to remember to check Fubar first next time

C H R I S · 07-14-2008, 12:36 PM

I had a great time Alec - pleasure meeting with you.

Congrats on the numbers!!!!!!

I agree with D$ - February or March in Vegas would be perfect. It was just too hot to go outside for longer than 20 minutes. We have to question if we can handle 2 HUGE Vegas shows in a matter of 3 months....

Good luck with the choice!

Agreed! Unusually hot! But not unbearable! But then again, we're in Phoenix! July is fine for me!

MichaelP · 07-14-2008, 01:27 PM

Hello guys,

Well I'm from up north and I was expecting way worst but it wasn't that bad after all..

As Steve said, maybe hotter than the usual, but still bearable, especially when it's dry heat and not humid like Florida

Vendzilla · 07-14-2008, 01:55 PM

wait, it's hot and there is lots of cold beer, so whats the problem?

Imortyl Pussycat · 07-14-2008, 02:01 PM

last week of June?? maybe a few degrees cooler

fuzebox · 07-14-2008, 02:07 PM

Yeah the weather was pretty brutal... I ended up getting heatstroke the last day from being outside all day and not hydrating properly. Totally my fault, but the heat did make the whole week rather uncomfortable.

p.s. The Hard Rock's new poker lounge should kick some serious ass.

Holly Lez! · 07-14-2008, 03:27 PM

Move the show! Between the heat and the construction starting at 5am it is time! But good show Alec and gang!

Tells me too many shows if there isn't an alternate solution to Vegas in July.

Morgan Sommer · 07-14-2008, 03:39 PM

I enjoyed the show thoroughly but the heat is too much. There are so many other cool places to go in the summer. How about someplace by the beach? Cabo anyone?

Like I said, mid-October works. Kind of close for those of us that do Amsterdam, but would be worth it. Would be nice to have one free month.

Now that you've said it first, I predict multiple "too many shows" response to this thread. The "show scene" is getting ridiculous.

i had a fever from heat exhaustion the last day..i was like a little baby crying in bed. Instead of drinking beers all morning outside, i shoulda had water..go figure

other than that i had a blast. Although It was hot as balls the heat isnt going to make me not attend next year. I think july is perfect timing in between shows

cawfee, heinekens and jager bombs ftw

TheAmericanCannibal · 07-14-2008, 07:40 PM

Alec for the love of G-d schedule the show on March 19.

That way I can be drunk for a legitimate reason, and can deal with the hangover a lot better.
lol

That being said, it was a great show for Xbiz, Even better for heat stroke-fun Players Ball ( albeit the hottest one temp wise) and overal a fun place to do biz.

I am even growing tired with the Hard Rock.

Planet Hollywood may be a nice change of scenery and u can style that place out to do a classy "Hollywood like" XBIZ AWARDS at ASIA-

You just need to demand to the mgr to chill the place to 40 degrees for 2 days before u open the doors..

View Poll Results: Your thoughts on XBIZ's decision to move away from July...

Keep it in July	20	33.90%
I'm indifferent	11	18.64%
