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.

Wednesday was a short day for the adult B-to-B event, XBIZ LA 2011. “Meet the Heads of State” was held in the Stone Lounge, which gave people the opportunity to meet and chat with 10 of the industry leaders. It also gave us one last taste of the tasty pastries that came from the La Simon kitchen.

These photos of the 2011 XBIZ LA B2B trade show were taken by Tanya, aka goodgirl. She only brought her camera on Tuesday, so these photos are of the show at the Sofitel and the mixer at the The Capital Grille.
