Adult Entertainment Virtual Convention 2012 Day Two

Saturday, February 25th, 2012

Today was the second day of Adult Entertainment Virtual Convention 2012 and it was even more impressive today. There were definitely more adult webmasters there today, which was a pleasant surprise. Even though today was billed as a B2C event with some meet and greets with a couple porn stars, it was really tailored to adult webmasters and those that wanted to learn more about the process.

The day started with an interview by Colin Rowntree from Wasteland with Christian Mann from Evil Angel Video. That was followed by a Webmaster 101 panel and a workshop on Producing Porn From Start to Finish put on by Girlfriends Films. The education portion of the day ended with a panel on XXX Domains and the future of the Adult Industry, featuring Diane Duke of the FSC and Vaughn Liley of ICM. This was followed by the Adult Entertainment Virtual Awards and After Party. The show goes on for one more day, so if you are not doing anything, stop on by. (more…)

Photos from the FSC protest against XXX

Thursday, March 17th, 2011

Wednesday, I drove up to San Francisco to join others in the adult industry in participating in the Free Speech Coalition’s (FSC) protest against the implementation of the .XXX sTLD. The protest was held today, Thursday, in front of the Westin St. Francis Hotel where the 40th International Public ICANN Meeting was being held. I would estimate about 30 people from the adult industry came to show their support. A press conference was held afterward. We will find out Friday, whether our efforts were all for naught or not. These photos are from around the hotel, the ICANN meeting, the protest and press conference.

The FSC is requesting that those against the implementation of the .XXX sTLD, that use Twitter, to please use it to voice your disapproval. You can find FSC’s tweets at #FSC, and they can follow them at @FSCArmy.

Photos from the FSC Free Love Fundraiser

Thursday evening, XBIZ Retail Expo held the Free Speech Coalition sponsored their ‘Free Love’ Lounge Fundraiser. It was held at the Stone Lounge at the Sofitel. They raffled off a Fleshlight, a Hitachi Magic Wand, a mobile stripper pole and an iPad. It was a nice little affair and the FSC raised a few dollars to continue the good fight.
