No more external cross bills?

Toby, my feeling is that Internext in Florida may be the first one to go. It's a long backhaul from the other coast for most of the players and hitting florida in the middle of the heat and hurricane season isn't exactly attractive. With the loss of the show floor, it is pretty hard to keep that whole thing going (and justify the $300 price tag for a badge).

They keep working on that show and trying to make it go, but it keeps getting harder, I think. The last time I went was, hmm, 3 years ago? 4 years ago? I have a very hard time jusifying spending out probably $1500 in a few days, when so little of the buisness done there is aimed at what I do anyway.

Miami used to be a great show because it had so many of the girls around to do shoots. The $300 price tag killed that off combined with locking the hotel down.

I have some of my best show memories from there as well as some of the worst. The year I flew down between 2 hurricanes to attend is certainly worth mentioning.

All the indie solo girls being there was probably the most valuable part of that show for me. It's far easier for them to trust you, give you access to content etc. when you're speaking face to face.
