Bestat and I will be in Windsor this weekend. She'll be arriving around 4 while I'll be in around 6ish pending traffic etc. If you got time, let's hook up for drinks.
A friendly reminder to all our American friends that will be attending and who plan on gambling; Ontario law prohibits a casino from giving away alcohol to gamblers. Sad, but true.
"OK back to a business note. Is anyone going to the webmaster gathering on the island of Curacau? ( The one CEN is sponsoring islandgathering.com I think)
What about the show Fay's show in Miami?"
Mike i'll be in Miami (cuz it's local)
No Island hopping for me.

hey hey hey Jman,
Who gave you the OK to auction me off? ;-))
I'm looking foward to Curacao... The sunsets are very beautiful, the water is warm, and there's always a nice breeze because it's in the middle of the trade winds. You will be able to see Venezuela from your hotel balcony.
It will be nice to take some time off and also to do business. Can't have a better Combination then this and they have internet access on the island.
**visualizing myself sitting on my balcony with some carribean music in the back ground sipping on a fruity drink with fruit and an umbrella in it watching the sunset!**
Please join us on tonight's Sounding Point when the topic is "Then & Now: Talking with the Pioneers" with Bangwang, Dokk, Khan and Webfather. That's 4:30 PDT, 7:30 EDT. Javachat or mIRC it at www.thud.net 6667 #live
Just got off the phone with Lee, she's out camping in the RV this week with no computer and is doing a bit of bass fishing. Said she caught her first bass and a soft shell turtle so far and is having a great time :)
Anyhow, just to clear the rumors up. Lee sent in her resignation to CE last Friday afternoon, effective September 1st and it was accepted later that day. She was going to stay on thru August to assist with the last two AWE shows. As of last night, per FM's post on NetSurprise, she is no longer with CE effective immediately.
Jman, I am sure you have 250 places reserved already but what about specific "This will be the best convention ever held... Big Boys and Gals with Big TRAFFIC Only. From Adult and Non Adult. "
You continue to give me a sales pitch, I cannot make it. I will be Bradleys Cabin Boy when he is in Cabo.
However, this does not excuse you from making statements like above - "This will be the best convention ever held... Big Boys and Gals with Big TRAFFIC Only. From Adult and Non Adult. "
Just because a person can afford a trip to Caracau does not me they are BIG in anyway business wise...
I think you might need to recalibrate your scale as to what BIG is... BIG is such a relative term...
That's to Bad... We have Deep Sea Fishing arranged for the convention. I could've set you up with Rocki she's a great fisher http://www.islandgathering.com/rocki/
Jman, no Island Gathering for me, I have a previous business commitment. You see to fund my defense against Evan I have decided to enter a fishing tournament in Cabo. I plan on winning the million dollars. Brad ShawRated R...

Mike,
There's only 250 packages to be sold, we allready have lot's of attendees and it's NOT a cheap convention.
Later today I will post the list of attendee's so far.
You are sooo right about the relaxing and ambiance of a tropical island that you can write off. That's why I made arrangments with the Marriott to get discounted price for Webmasters wanting to extend their stay.
Hope to see you there so I can take you on my special tour of the Island. JManRated R...
Jman - this is not a piss, but what facts do you have to back up this "This will be the best convention ever held... Big Boys and Gals with Big TRAFFIC Only. From Adult and Non Adult. "
Who are these Big Boys and girls for adult and non adult??
Or is this just a marketing ploy to get people to your event??
If its a marketing ploy I think you would do better pushing the relaxing, tropical island, vacation you can write off angle.
"maybe AVN will merge it with its Adult Video show..."
You know, at first thought, I think that actually would be a good move on their part. Short term, they'd lose some income from not having two separate shows, but long term, they'd have a show with much longer legs. Plus, the exhibitors would gain a lot of fresh blood. The dividing lines between those segments of the industry are blurring more and more each day.

VIP Jim,
I will be in Windsor, let's hook up and I will tell you all about The island Gathering in Curacao.
This will be the best convention ever held... Big Boys and Gals with Big TRAFFIC Only. From Adult and Non Adult.
Brad, you a part of that group ? ;-)
Working on building a nice discussion panel. If you have some great new projects, ideas or plan about the futur of the Internet, International Business, mainstream blended with Adult... Email me jman@islandgathering.com or call (514) 240-7762
Looks like we may put Evan into the poor house with all these C&D's! I am sure the lawyer can not be cheap. He may have to cut back on his habit to afford this. Brad ShawMaking money for everyone!!

I have never been to Curacau, it looks like a nice place... however, I have a conflict with some other trips I have planned.
Miami, I have been there - during the summer its going to be scortching - I also think there will be a relatively small turn out.
At least with island trip if it sucks you can always lay on the beach and have a tropical vacation.
I think the last show in Vegas might have been the last of the big ones... it was smaller then the one in January - and chances are they will keep being shrunk. Or maybe AVN will merge it with its Adult Video show...

"If he smokes bubonic chronic, acquit supersonic."
Ok, that one is the best so far!!!
Miami..yes...Curacau...don't now yet, but doesn't look like it.
OK back to a business note. Is anyone going to the webmaster gathering on the island of Curacau? ( The one CEN is sponsoring islandgathering.com I think)
Good to see all this information coming out about Xpays and their business practices. Looks like guys in glass houses should not throw around heavy joints.
There was a cockholster named horowitz
Who preferred to suck cock stead of girls tits
The bitches said "PLEASE"
Horowitz dropped to his knees
And he sucked off 6 guys while the girls had fits

Hmmm maybe some Limericks for T-shirts.
"There once was a cocholster named Evan,
who claimed he could only suck 7"
"When he dropped to his knees,
the 7 were pleased"
"... and though they were all in heaven"

IF THE WORD COCKHOLSTER FITS YOU MUST AQUIT
:))
mike tigers play here in nov. i was going to see if anyone from there wanted to come up for the game.
dantheman Class acts here!!
I heard Evan on the dmoneyshow the other day saying how Mike, Brad and JohnIP were just little guys jealous of Evan.
Since they are just little guys, I figure we need to help them out as much as possible. I was thinking of a bake sale to help them with their legal defense fund, but bake sales are so cliche.
So I am organizing a bumper sticker sale to help with their legal defense fund. I have come up with a few, but need your help.
The bumper stickers I have come up with so far:
1. FREE THE OPRANO THREE
2. IF IT'S CUM HE SPITS, YOU MUST ACQUIT
3. IF HE SMOKES THE BONE, OUT THE CASE MUST BE THROWN
4. IF HE IS A FAG, IN YOUR ACQUITAL YOU MUST NOT LAG
5. IF ITS TRUE HE SPAMS, THE CASE IS A SHAM
6. IF HE TAKES IT IN THE ASS, JUDGEMENT YOU SHALL NOT PASS
7. IF IT IS CUM THAT HE GARGLES THEN..HEY, YOU TRY AND FIND A WORD THAT RYHMES WITH GARGLES
Those are just a few, please post your submissions!
Dan, I have to say for the most part I am not an LSU fan. I grew up disliking LSU, most LSU fans I came accross are loud, obnoxious and ignorant... ITs funny most never even went to college there.
However as I got older, I enjoy when LSU has some success... Their baseball team has been awesome the past decade, and the coach was a class act...
I am excited FOOTBALL coming back up - for both college and NFL!
Thanks for the info on xpays, it seems like there is a lot of dirt - you should see my e-mails.
Mutt could you send me a copy of the spam you got from the AIS. I am interested in finding out more about the AIS and the possible relationship between IEG and XPAYS.
I knew that AIS company sounded familiar. Checked my mailbox this morning and there was some AIS spam advertising Videosecrets, VividVideo and ClubLove. The return address is

Actually it isn't even that bad - AltaVista's australian site still has access to the entire database, it just offers 'aussie' content on the front page.
---
I know it still can access the same material ... but I don't WANT the aussie content on the front... I want web based business thrust in my face, not ones I can find in the phone book...
I think making the decision for the surfer based on country is silly... that was my point... :-)
Anyone see this???
**********************************
Yup....been following it since Monday. AOL could have gotten 5.8 million shares for their $100 million on Monday. As of today they can get 8.3 million shares.
btw Grimm......where did you hear that amazon is making a profit? I don't think so even with all the competition gone. They lost 16 cents a share even with fudging the numbers. They did not include some of their costs.
"For its second quarter ended June 30, Amazon lost $58 million, or 16 cents a share, on a pro forma basis, excluding various expenses."
Wtf is "Excluding various expenses?" I would like to get away with that shit. See how they FUDGE the numbers?? Numbers don't lie.....people do and THIS is a PERFECT example.
Anyway.....if AOL waits another day or two they will probably be able to get over 10 million shares.

CJ,
Actually it isn't even that bad - AltaVista's australian site still has access to the entire database, it just offers 'aussie' content on the front page.
I've used that trick before to offer different billing options. (i.e. most europeans use bank debit cards, not credit cards).
I just visited altavista for the first time in ages and it redirected me to the 'australian' search page. Why, is it assumed that the location you are coming from is the one you want info on?
Igallery redirects anyone not from USA to a dialer, altavista redirects you to a 'country' information page ... AARGH!! this is the friggin INTERNET people!!
Green?? Hmmm I never got that close, there is always a gaggle of young women around him. When I was first pointed out to Diamond Jim, I thought he was one of the Backstreet Boys or something... :-)
Mike AI Making $$$ for you and me!!!
Well I finaly got Diamond Jim locked down on a time and date for his question and answer session about PornMegaBucks. He has to be one of the busiest people in the industry.
Diamond Jim will be stopping by and fielding all question this Thursday 3pm Central ( 4pm Eastern) time. So come prepaired with tough questions, and lets find out what is going on with PornMegaBucks and Jim's take on the state of the industry.
Oh and ladies this is all business, so no questions about DJ's adorable blue eyes or any of that nonsense. ;-)
I know I am going to sound like Lee Noga, but I am being theatened by a lawsuit from Evan and xpays.
If anyone has any information on Evan, Xpays or anything person or company that deals with them that I could use in my potential civil defense I would appreciate it.
I am looking for information on spamming, SE placement theiving, not paying, crooked deals, back room scams, credit card fraud, anything... does not even have to be first hand knowledge as long as you can point me in a general direction. That way if it comes down to legal action we will be able to know where to look in discovery.
You can post, or send me e-mail - anons are welcomed. my e-mail address is michael AT oprano DOT com
I would appreciate any help, information, tips, gossip, dirt, anything.
Woooaaahhhh we have some powerful people reading Oprano.
I asked some questions about IEG, XPAYS, and the creation of AIS ( Adult Internet Services, LLC) and I was sent vie a hotmail account a VERY interesting PDF file.
Brad that is a good question. I have heard some rumors that Lee "my balls are bigger then yours" Noga was canned from CE due to her relationship with Evan.
Lee claims to be up front with these things, but I have a feeling it will be hidden and the parties will cover it up...
Vick, cute kid bro! Wait til you get that excitement of teaching him the fart game and he discovers that falling down is funny...I'm amazed at the pratfalls I've taken at the expense of entertaining my kids ;)

Ok, Mike, what can RRRed and I do to straighten out the confusion in your mind? She's taller, younger and has 3 count 'em 3 R's.
Now I may be lacking in R's and height and in youth, but I can put together words that can make even a "veteran, nothing affects me" porn hustler start adjusting his pants.
MikeAI - Very good, thanks for asking
Mom and Sebastian are doing very well
Mom has recovered very quickly and well
So far he is a joy ;-)
He was born with a full head of hair and looks a lot like me (poor kid)
