We are looking for new locations.

It is so 'ironic - the ONLY reason we stayed one more year in San Diego, was because the hotel invited us back & gave us ALL the rooms. It should have been so much better. Having to start over with new hotel contacts every year is a real hassle. It should have been smooth sailing, they already knew that we didn't have 'tails and horns, and how we ran the show. Then they sold the hotel & even worse divided it up between 2 hotel chains. So, now I not only had to deal with one new management team - I had to deal with two.

In 11 years of Trade Shows, I never had to deal with 'Breach of Contract before. I don't advise it - no one wins except the attorneys, and your life is forever changed. But, anyone who knows me and my history - knows that I will not be intimidated. I fight for two things: my kids and my integrity. It's just that simple....

Anyone who has an idea of a location for our 10th Anniversary - LMK. There are many things to take into consideration:

1. It needs to be a place that a lot of people like to visit.
2. It needs to be in the vicinity of a major airport.
3. It cannot be in the bible belt or anywhere we cannot stay under the radar.
4. It needs to be a smaller hotel with areas for private gatherings. Larger hotels want to "marry us" with other events & that is very difficult.
5. The hotel needs to have decent room rates.
6. It needs to be in a location that has easy access to restaurants and clubs.
7. It needs to be in the US - there are many regulars who have a problem leaving the country.
8. It needs to be a hotel who is not afraid of an Adult show. I have a good track record with Hilton, Hyatt, Wyndham & Delta - Thank god..... But, I am very worried about what the lawsuit with Atlas Hotels will do to our references. No hotel wants to get involved with anything like that. Of course, they will see the hotels viewpoint. (even though we won the restaining order and arbitration)

Just 5 out of the 8 eliminates 90% of the options.
