============================================================================ Arrived at convention center on Saturday and picked up the forms need to qualify to get into the show on Sunday at 10:00 to do some business and look for new companies. Arrived at convention center on Sunday at 8:45am to be greeted with long lines of people. Showed my paperwork to the lady who was walking around to help us and she directed me to the right line. Got in line and at 9:50 finally made to the front. Was greeted by two elderly ladies who promptly told me that I was in the wrong line. I asked to see the manager and she came forward immediately. She informed me that she would glady take $15.00 like it says on the form, but that I could not get in until 1:00! But, for $60.00 I could buy a 3 day pass and get in at 10:00! I promptly told her what I thought of AVN and what she could do with the $60.00! And, I was NOT the only upset person! So, as I waited for the time that AVN would let the 'second' class people in, I had alot of fun talking to other fans. Asking them what they like and dislike about the current state of adult movies. And, I even got some to fill out the CAVR ballot and vote. Special thanks to special porn fan Nick. I watched a very well put together Tera Patrick for Digital Playground video that was running welcoming people to the show and showing highlites from her internet TV show, The Tera Show. (Next one is Jan 16th at 10:00 Pm Eastern). And, as the crowds grew larger and larger of upset fans not allowed in and with very few business customers inside, AVN opens up a side entrance and at 12:00 left the new fans in and us old fans standing and feeling stupid. When we tried to get in we were told to go to the other entrance and they would let us in. So, we go the other side of the room and we get to now wait in another line to get in! As many of you know, I am not a fan's of AVN and this total lack of preparation on their part is very disturbing. ============================================================================ Written By.........www.cavr.com [email protected] ============================================================================
