Gene & Paul, Just read with interest that you guys gave away free tickets to the AVN Award show. I found that amusing. I've written about the industry in the Rocky Mountain Oyster for 20 years now. As Dirty Bob and Mark Stone can vouch, my articles covering the AVN Awards show was treated like the Oscars of Porn on our front page. Although Denver based. The Oyster does have national distribution.
As I told Mark Stone once the day after a AVN Awards Show, I stopped going for two reasons. Tired of being pushed out of the photographers circle. And, that the cost of a ticket was out of my budget .Yes, I've always paid to cover the show. Guaranteed, if anyone claiming to be from the Oyster got a ticket,they didn't cover the event. I did. Check out our archivies.
What members of the adult press get free tickets and decent treatment at the show? Besides AVN staffers, of course."
Gene sez: "It is talent who get comped, and that problem you mention about being "pushed out" has long been solved.
