I saw this rant from Sara Jay (I had family and decided not to go):
"AVN - a rant
Current mood: aggravated
I'm so glad that the AVN convention is over!!! YIIIIPPPPIIIIIEEEEE!!!!
This year was such a disappointing year there. The convention was
quite a bit smaller with big names like Playboy, Jenna Jameson, Score,
and quite a few smaller companies not present. It was obvious in the
disappointing attendance that the fans had been notified that many of
there faves would not be attending. The lack of fans could have also
been in part to the increase in entrance fee. It was also apparent
that AVN was attempting to fill a very empty convention floor with 2
booths that sold bed linens, 2 booths that did teeth whitening, and 1
that sold cheap knock-off purses!! It was an embarrassment to the
entire industry. There was tons of space between booths too. What
happened? I can only assume that companies are doing poorly enough
that they are cutting corners. Getting a booth at AVN can be as
expensive as buying a car, as it keeps going up every year!
The award show was even more disappointing than the convention. The
show started at 9:30pm, so we arrived around 8 to walk down the
traditional red carpet. I went with Jeff and Raven from Trashy Ent. As
we entered the Mandalay Bay fans mobbed us, with no security in sight.
They were pulling on us and trying to get our pictures. We kept
walking toward the events center and when we finally reached a
security guard he asked for our "Red Carpet Badges". Huh?? No one I
knew had them. We never needed anything like that before. Even
nominees didn't get the correct badge to be photographed by the press!
Even some of the press didn't get them!!!! I was sitting next to one
photographer who has been in the industry as long as there has been an
industry and he even had his camera taken away!!! I couldn't believe
it. Once we got in the place was crawling with cops standing around.
When I say a lot of cops I mean like 50 or so!! None of which were
controlling the crowd outside the events center, where they were
needed. All of LVPD's finest standing around with their thumb up their
butts looking at the pornstars. I'm sure that there were several meth
labs in Vegas that went undisturbed that night. We found our seats in
the bleachers. Yes, I said bleachers. This is the second year that the
AVN has had the awards at the Mandalay Bay. Last year there was quite
an uproar when many stars were seated in the stadium seating. This
year was the same, to complete the cheap baseball game feel was a
concession of nachos, beer and hot dogs. Classy. The show used to be
at the Venetian prior to 07 where we were served pretty good catered
food – hors d'overs, prime rib, vegetables, rolls, etc…
I realize they have grown and expanded the awards show to seat many
many more people, but are nachos and hot dogs really appropriate? I'd
rather they not serve any food. The first clip that was shown as the
show began was a skit of a producer saying he doesn't advertise enough
in AVN to get an award. How was that funny? It seemed sad to me,
especially considering it is true. Then the comedian came out and made
a reference to the "amateurs in the bleachers". One of the first
awards was given out for best interactive DVD. Won by Hustler and Tera
Patrick. Larry Flint came out and made the announcement that "DVD
sales have dropped 70% and 50% of production companies will go out of
business"

I read that Amy Reid and Alektra Blue got into a fight.:rubbel:
Where are the glory days when all the big names would show up?
always been curious on this one, so maybe you can help me out here Vicky!
Never been to such an event or had the opportunity to meet one of the stars, but I was wondering what your thoughts were on fan interaction/meetings.
Do people come up to you and tell you how much they've pleasured themselves to you, are people intimidated by you, etc.
I would say i might be, seeing as you are so damn hot and I have obviously enjoyed your work. do you ladies look forward to the interactions, or is it sometimes too overwhelming that you wish you didn't have to do it?

When people encourage too much mainstreaml or softie "baby" (meaning too softcore) porn, it causes problems for hardcore porn. Jenna Jameson's company is way overrated and play boy is overrated too. It is kinda sad seeing this happening because some production companies are offering great movies.
Hi Vicky :wave2: I'm a big fan, love your movies!!
Sounds like it is getting worse... that sucks, and not in the good porn way :rofl:

Thanks!!!! It is one of the reasons why I work only on my site..... it is mine 100%..... :nanner: The movies I did 3 years ago are being recycled as brand new even today.....
They are all to blame, but if anything it's the other way around. There were and are so many people trying to produce the harder stuff that it caught up to them and now the market is oversaturated. It didn't help that anybody with a camera could end up doing the harder stuff. Many people in the industry just went along as they were killing themselves off so they could make a quick buck. Piracy of their work doesn’t help them either.

Just saw this on my forgotton threads list.... let's face it, guys are going in droves to the internet to get their porn rather than to the local sex shop. It is one of the reasons why I focused on my site. If you don't have to leave your home to get your porn fast and easily, and instead are running to the store just to put your mits on the boxcover, that is not all that fun (unless you want to pick up a sex toy at the same time). I had a long talk with a salesman who told me the average new porn MAYBE sells about 8,000 copies..... don't know if that is true but I liken this to what happened when albums went to cd..... and now digital.
My blowjobs on the internet are just as good as the ones being sold at the store, and for the price of a new movie you get entire catalogues of stuff. I really think the internet is going to cause a lot of companies to go under, including internet companies because of the deluge of people with cameras. Having said that, having a camera and making good wankable porn is another thing all together. I picked up a dvd of a brand new movie at a trade show and frankly shut it off after the first couple of minutes because it was just a couple of people fucking. That is great for some people, but not lots and lots of people. Problem is, it costs money to bring in scripts and quality and with dropping sales, less and less companies can afford stay in the game. Just my two cents......... until all the free stuff puts me under, I am going internet all the way.
It's good to know that at least some people have figured out the Internet is probably where it's at, even if there is a lot of competition there also. I would never have any desire to get into the porno business for a lot of reasons, but if I did it wouldn't be to produce DVDs, not unless I had the money to start a huge studio. Even then it would be after all the weak people flooding the market were culled, and I would still have a big Internet operation. In any case you seem nice enough, I hope you can continue on for as long as you have a desire to do what you do.
do tell more
