Some Kudos Where Kudos Are Due...

CuriousToyBoy · 01-17-2005

Guys,

I just wanted to say this on a board where there is nothing to really gain by doing so - thereby underpinning how strongly I feel on this subject.

As many of you may know, we were sponsors of the recent http://www.GayWebmastersBash.com series os events in Vegas - such events were a HUGE success as can be attested to by any who attended any of them.

I just want to say to Lee especially (and I kinow Gary-Alan & Chris-Allan will understand), just how impressed I was as a sponsor on his and the team's efforts not just in making the events themselves so special and such a success, but how before the event and even in the afterglow of the event such special pains have been made to constantly acknowledge and push the limelight onto the event sponsors so NO-ONE could have any doubt about who we all were.

The reason I say this board can appreciate that, is most of us here are pretty switched on, and everyone knows no-one does stuff like the GayWebmasterBash events for nothing, but we can all appreciate an extremely professionally run operation when we see one.

I am now (and Lee knows this) a perpetual sponsor of these events at every show I attend.

Congrats Lee, you should be rightly proud.

he did a great job of getting the sponsors on every board at every opportunity ;-)

even down to starting controversy by piggy backing on other shows and stealing their sponsors limelight

Are these girls all this bitchy in person?!?!?!?

Isn't "creating limelight" part of using any board well?

Doesn't it boost views and post count and therefore exposure?

Aren't we doing it now?

Does it work?

Are we good at it?

Did I post this here on Oprano for a reason?

He he he eh.

Lee is the man. He would be a great person to take over running the Player Hater Ball!!

JoesHo - Lee would be a good one to get with the BellyFlop 2005 as well!!

JoesHO · 01-17-2005

I agree, Lee has my respect as well!!!

Nickatilynx · 01-17-2005

I too like Lee.

Plus its nice having someone else with drunken Brit tendancies on the board

Ah yes the PHB.... its coming back. We think we will even be serving donuts at it. I think its the perfect venue to further unite the straight and gay markets.

I have to say if Colin was over there doing biz with then we all should check it out.
I briefly met Lee on the way to a NATS seminar. They had their own world going on over ther eaway from the show.

Congrats guys and lets talk more about bringing back THE event to the show.

Floozy

Lindsay, you really do humble me my friend i dont know what more to say than that, thank you.

Also thank you to everyone else for their kind words to.

Despite some of the drama currently surrounding our Phoenix events by minor factions within the gay market, they will be going ahead, one way, or the other too

Good luck to you Lee

Hey all,

New here. I saw this post and couldn't resist signing up so I could reply to it.

I work for MANcheck, another company that sponsored Gay Webmaster Bash in Vegas, and as it was my first Internext, I wasn't sure what to expect.

I can't tell you how thrilled the MANcheck team was with Gary and Lee and their event. Like Toy Boy mentioned, Lee busts his ass off to make sure the sponsors get their money's worth, and he'll fight like a dog with anyone who tries to take the spotlight away from his event's sponsors.

I also got to hang quite a bit with Gary and Lee. I was treated like a prince and I felt totally appreciated. I remember another event that we sponsored at one time, and when we walked up to the organizer of the event to say "hello" we said, "Hi, how are you?" and he said, "Very busy," and walked away. What a shame! Sheez, I got shit from Lee for taking so long to call him and get together for a drink.

So Lee, thanks again for making us feel so top-notch and appreciated. And to anyone out there reading this, if Lee every comes banging on your door to sponsor one of his events, you really can't afford to say, "No."

Thanks Lee,
Dzinerbear
MANcheck

Mike we would love to unfrotunately, we're also organizing the 6 Gay Webmaster Bash events for the Florida conference ( as well the bullshit that will no doubt surround the events from other factions in the industry) and we wouldnt be able to give the Flop the full attention it deserves from an organizational standpoint

That wont stop us from participating though as well as giving any support we can

Lee is a great guy. One caveat. I couldn't even find Lee the entire convention to find out where things were! AVN magazine had everything listed as TBA. Obviously because he was everywhere and very busy. And cause couldn't connect to his cell. Electra and I were quite disappointed. Otherwise can't say a thing bad about the guy, other than we missed out on some very fun events, and the pleasure of seeing him and Gary.

Yeah we were a bit miffed that AVN didnt update their site when we told them the locations of the events too

From what i understand a few people had issues finding the location of the meals and after hour suites.

A lesson learned though for the next show.
