Rum jungle... Didn't have the homie hook up so dmonee was able to tip the doorman and buy homies in leaving ...jenna and party sponsors in the cold. Including jackie marland from howard stern show.
Much boasting about cristal amounted to a a sip for all at midnight. I helped out the cheap braggart and sent a dozen assorted donuts. Aren't yall glad you kissed ass all this time?
Extreme fetish party ..... Extreme class. Comp limobus rides...everyone with a ticket got in. No long lines....open bar hot tunes and babes. Extreme paychecks knows how to throw a real party without demanding ass kissing and begging. I gurss its easy when your sites convert and retain.
More reviews and pics later.

blah, with my hectic schedule I missed the FFN bash...
the Extreme Paychecks party was ok, just not my type of music, but hey, I got to meet Lemmy! Also, liked the fgact that there were zero problems at the door (aside from a few surfers getting in)....it was refreshing not to have to slide a $20 under a pass to get through the doors to a private party....

Hey Gonzo, I didn't get mine either, so doubledipped my DMPM gear...
hehehe
was great seeing and chatting with you again as well as chatting with Joesho about a big announcement that will be hitting Oprano soon

Thank you Gonzo.
Did not miss the mayhem of the other parties, did the business I went to do, ate well and got plenty of rest. Guess I am pretty boring...LOL
So happy we got to spend time with you and the Exclusive Media Group team Bestat - it's been WAY too long. Dinner was fantastic - and the conversation/company was even better!
Looking forward to seeing you again in San Diego. I guess now it's 100% certain that you'll be there after tonight's game. lol (and YES... it is grumpy at our house tonight... like a black cloud decended when the tie was broken in OT...)
See you in a couple of months hon - let's definitely plan to get together again!
This next article will be the 6 month mark since I started writing the regular column again!
I'm always getting comments from all areas of the industry - Klixxx has this amazing variety of webmasters that read it ... and so many who you have NEVER seen on the boards or at shows.
I spoke to someone recently who had been around since 96, knew a few of the early guys, but had not spoken to many within the industry since!
There's that word of the week again Kath - Oldtimers LOL

I know.... I'm trying not to keep using it but it's really a POSITIVE thing really....
It just felt so good in that sea of we'll-probably-never-see-'em-again newbies to also find so many industry vets that were worth taking time out to talk with, catch up on what they've been up to, share pics of kids/pets and do a little biz as well.
After years of working with mainly noobs, it was nice to REALLY talk shop.
And.... I said this before but.... you were SO missed!
Kath, it was wonderful to spend time with you again, definitely one of the highlights of the show. It had been too long, and having some private time was so special.
Tell the Big Lug I feel for him, not going to get too cocky though....Bronco's have a long way to go.
Anyone have a review of the Players Ball? Curious how it came off with the CES crowd in town.
I was nursing a mutant blister on my foot and just wasn't up to it. A bad taste in my mouth from seeing the D-Money action at Rumjungle first hand didn't help.
I know it couldn't have gone too late as I saw D$ cruising past the official FFN Pai Gow table a bit after 2AM.

I wasn't at a lot of the parties...mainly did that zombie shuffle around the island bar 50 times...
I'll agree with everyone on the Extreme Paychecks party. Not alot of people in costume, and some extra signage for the VIPs would've been nice, but very well done.
There was no real wait for the bus either going or coming. No problem at all getting in, proving that it is possible to throw a big party at a club without creating a goat fuck at the door. Free booze was still flowing around 3AM when we left.
The big parties are on the decline, in fact the parties that do happen are getting more and more exclusive overall. And it's no wonder. Freeloaders with no traffic get in, while guys who aren't busy being "players" and instead just quietly run their business are often left outside. Where's the ROI in that?
And I know for me, although I try to see things for what they are, when I do my sponsor house cleaning each year, usually soon after Vegas, the way the companies were reflected at Internext does weigh into my decisions. Do they look like up 'n comers? On the way out? Class acts? Well organized?
If I were one of the sponsors of the Jungle Bash, i'd be PISSED off. Meanwhile, Extreme Paychecks gets an "A" from me for the image they presented at Internext.

From 20,000 miles away Internext was sounding like an event I was lucky to have missed for a while there.. until I read your article. Your slant on Internext left me feeling like I had missed something worthwhile.. AVN should send you flowers for writing that one!

Even without being there it's hard to avoid thinking extremepaychecks=goodthings with posts about the way they handled their party everywhere.
(Why haven't you got them signed up as a sponsor here yet Gonzo/Nick? They have paid ads and masses of sig whores on every adult board I read!!)
Originally posted by fatbaby@Jan 9 2005, 10:38 AM I did not make ONE party this year.... by design! ;-)
But, I dont know HOW I forgot about and missed the FFN one.... what the fuck was I thinking????
You DID however find us the Sportsbook! We realized that's the place to hang where you can be w/in fast walking distance from the circle bar to make a run every half hour or so, but still have a place to drink and hear each other talk.
Well , I too think the Party scene is in decline, and really sucked this year, ( I thought it was just me LOL)
1.) Rum Jungle was a fucking joke ( yes we were a sponsor, but had NOTHING to do with anything involved with the planning lol) I personally witnessed three sig whores walk in, and between them they might make 400 bucks a week in revenue ( they were sporting VIP passes of course lol) Then within five minutes I watched the doormen turn away Tera Patrick, The Al4A people, and then to top it off they actually were not letting Jenna's Bodyguards in so her WHOLE crew including several pornstars told them to get fucked and walked out....
Why the fuck Epic did not have someone posted at the door to stop this is way beyond comprehension for me. ( note to self NEVER sponsor another party with ANYONE incompetent!)
2.) GFY party-- I hear that the girl everyone was taking a go at, got her test results back AFTER the party, and she poppped positive for chlamydia.... oooops LOL thank god I did not take that 45 min ride to see some slut fuck a bunch of horney kids....
3.) Players Ball--- LOL LOL LOL I decided to skip this one this year after the last two years.. how does the saying go? fool me once shame on you , fool me twice shame on me, but what happens when you say fool me three times...? ( I was too scared to find out )
4.) Extreme fetish rocked
5.) I really enjoyed the opportunity to go to the suite party of AEBN, and of Karups, dormbucks, and the rest of the amature bash crew.
6.) I too agree FFN was the highlight of my party shcedual, ( but hey free donoughts to a stoner is better than sex on certain days LOL)
I really appreciate the chance to chat with more Oprano people, some for the first time, and some a repeat.. but it was truley the best show I have attended just for this fact alone!!!! I know you all know who you are, and I think the meeting was more important than the name dropping so I will leave it at a simple thank you!
We were also a sponsor or the Jungle Bash, and I had no idea of the problems at the door. I had a problem getting in myself at about 10:30. I managed to get in the front door, and I brought in as many people as they would let me.
Story I'm getting is the club was either at capacity, or it was starting to cost the organizer more money. Somehow I doubt it was the former. I haven't seen club capacity rules ever enforced in Las Vegas.
I also went to the Meatcash/OC Cash party suite. Good times. I met a bunch of people I had never met before.
FFN at Krispy Kreme... dammit I messed up on the timings. Went there at 5, nobody around. I went back to the hotel and realized it was on at 8. So I laid my head down for a bit and got up way too late. ARG... sorry Gonzo.

It was great to see everyone after so many years...it seems nobody aged but me and Bang Wang :-))
I did not do all the parties, did the players ball and it pissed me off waiting outside in freezing cold weather for an hour before security realized it was me and pulled me inside...thank god...I had no jacket, I am from Florida :-))
Everyone thanks for all the good wishes with XBC, we had a great show :-))
I look forward to attending all the webmaster events this year...it is like a family re-union :-)
Gonzo, did not see your fanny around to bite! *sigh*

best of luck with it

Yup, could't get in to the jungle fuck, so We took Jackie Marland up to the Mix instead and had a blast hanging out, David Copperfield stopped by and hung with our little group for a bit, Jackie hung with us for 4 days, GREAT guy to be around, funny as hell. Finished off the week with Richard Simons (Kiss)
