I hear ya, but one thing about Asia based companies, they value their honor and would not shave. They are very generous.
They will not even do business with a company with poor history. There are some aspects in their work ethic are NOT negotiable.
There is very few of us Americans with them, and its neat working at the Ops in LA, the American culture could learn so much from theirs.
The other thing I admire is they do everything inhouse, very seldom outhouse anything..they are very protective of their development.
They been around long time in VOD market and DVD market, they been shooting product for years. They are known for their JapanX line which includes anime etc.

I walked the floor - no booth this time -I did do one at AVN which more then paid for itself.
Here's my gossip - sad but true -
I was leaving the WRS party (thank you Mack Daddy) and coming around the corner was my Dad and his girlfriend (74 and 60 respectively) they immediately announced they flew in from Dallas and got married, they had done it about 45 minutes before they saw me!! Talk about knock me down with feather.
Of course not two minutes later - my dad is asking if I could get him into the CumOnHerFace.com shoot..... Guess he got around the credit card ban I put in effect a few years ago on him.
Overall Internext is okay - but I find I really get more bang for my buck from the smaller shows like Cybernet Expo and Webmaster Access - more face to face time and ability to actually catch up with people.
But I do kinda miss the old days - open bar the whole time, etc.
Highlight of this show has been the Flu I brought back. I didn't start getting sick till monday, with a slight cough. Went home early, took tuesday off, and just finally feeling human again.
Highlight of the show was when I stole SE Guru's roundabout.

Ok Drav - spill the beans - what is your idea of that "electric something in-between? I have been searching for it for a long time? It keeps changing.......
I got sent home, I'd love to stay at the office, but something about getting the whole office sick, blah blah blah. I feel like a bus hit me, then got followed up by a few hundred chinese on their little bikes.
I had drinks once in Vegas, and it was at the Player's Ball. Vodka and Redbull were my friends.

i hear Steve was approached by Brad, with Brad having a camerman hide a few yards away, and tried to provoke Steve to fight/punch him.
Somehow Steve managed to walk away.
According to many people who have watched the video and seen both guys body language Brad looked extremely intimidated, whilst Steve leant in to Brad, who cowered away...

Wish I knew. Tis the Holy Grail, isn't it?
Ok, let me try ... what would be something "in between"? How about:
Hmmm. Instead of five competing music things blasting or absolutely none, how about piped in music to the entire exhibit floor ...
Whoa! And charging advertisers for commercial time in between!! I need to patent that one! ... Told you there are ways to make money at shows that have not yet been tried.
No real gossip but funny thing about the smoking, since we all had to pile back out into the hall or out the back to smoke, I actually make 90% of my contacts and bussiness at this show while having a smoke and chatting to others doing the same, turn out the be a great ice breaker.
