Vivid p.r. man Brian Grosss called from Daytona where he and Raylene stopped off as part of a Spring Break mini-tour.
Gross: "We flew in Monday night. We were on radio station WKRO Tuesday morning. We're also going to be doing a signing at Gator Gifts [a clothing store] Tuesday afternoon in Daytona Beach on the strip. Then we're having a huge party this evening with Echo Unlimited, a Secret Society party. Then we fly out to South Padre Island Wednesday morning. We're going on radio station KESO, there on Thursday late morning and having a big party at Tequilla Frogs. Then we come back to California Friday. We're doing a kind of Vivid Spring Break road trip. Which I think is one of the first in adult. Playboy does it all the time but as far as an adult company going out and promotiong I think this is the first. It's exciting and a great Spring Break vibe - lots of college kids out here and we hope it's the same when we get to South Padre island.
"Not knowing that XRCO was going to be this week, I had planned this accidentally the same week."
G. Ross: "I understand you were on the [TV show] Greed."
Gross: "Oh..Lord..I was. My roommate had tried out for the show and put me down as a contact. I thought just for the helluvit I would go in and try my luck out. I wound up passing the test and getting on the program. It was a lot of fun, but I didn't win. I got terminated. I kept this really quiet. It was something out of fun and thought why not. Did I think I was going to win? I really didn't know but I wound up saying, 'ambiguously gay duo' on national TV and losing by not knowing that Lee made press-on nails in 1985. I thought they made them a long time ago. Chuck Woolery is a really nice guy and a lot of fun to be around."
