Speaking of Steve....

I remember the first time I met Steve at a Convention - it was adultdex. I had just gotten introducedto tanker, who was bitching at me over a mailout I had no clue about, and here walks over Steve.

"hey, whats going on with that mailout"

I remember thinking who the FUCK is this guy?? I had been in the biz for a while, had gone to a bunch of conventions - thought I knew everybody..... and here is this, this GUY
BITCHING at ME! ME! I couldn't believe it!

Needless to say, I made sure Steve got his damn mailout (hehehe) and ended up becoming great friends with the whole LightSpeed crew in Jamaica!

Great stories... hey Twinkley,... talk about m-a-i-l-o-u-t-s....!

LMAO


I remember one time in Vegas, about 2 years ago, I was at this party up in the Mirage... Had just flown in that day, got no sleep and was still up at it at 2:00 am. I also remember not eating much at all that day, and being upset that I didn't even eat dinner. Well needless to say I was up in the Mirage just coming from Cartoonbucks party, and only had maybe 2 drinks in like 4 hours time. Anyways, I'll get to the point, I remember going up into the Mirage presendential suite, which was about the size of my walkin closet, with RogerV, Aaron and some other people and as soon as I walked in it was not only packed to the hilt yet, dark and hot. It looked like ripleys believe it or not was there seeing how many people they could fit into the smallest suite. I met BobbyR and he turned me on to a nice smoke. Suck the whole thing down in about 2 seconds and as I was chatting with one of two GBP linebackers I started feeling dizzy. Having claustrophobia, not eating, not sleeping and sucking that smoke down must have all started to take effect on me... I excused my self to get out into, what I remember, a really cool hallway. As I was trying to make it to the door the walls closed in... I turned pale white, so people say, and fell straight back like a 2x6.

After I was carried into the hallway I awoke and started feeling better. Proceeded downstairs and in passing the circularcasino bar I stopped, had a double or triple scotch... caught a cab and literally slept for a day.

I missed Evans pajama party and the whole next day of the show.

In Miami about at this last show the same thing happened, I had just come from the Insite suite where BobbyR and a few other people were and upon feeling dizzy I said good night and passed out in the elevator really cutting up my face from my glasses. The time was about 2 am as well!

I finally figured it out... No sleep, no food, and running on very little energy... I am hypoglycemic.

Either that or BobbyR is possesed...lol

Keep on Rockin'

twinkley 11-27-2002 12:49 PM

Mmmmmm

I think I will keep the embarrassing stories to myself :)

Most of them come from my first show anyways.... and that was sooooo long ago.... no one really wants to hear.....

twinkley

Masters 11-27-2002 12:54 PM

Being a careless drunk... yes, I would term that embarrassing...
Having hypoglycemia... I would not...


Keep on Rockin'

twinkley 11-27-2002 02:01 PM

Oh yeah,

thats what i meant Masters...

I happen to be hypoglycymic as well...

I remember an adultdex where after waiting literally hours for people to get their shit together, I finally grabbed Tad from YNOT and went off on our own.

We were dont eating before they even started!

Was that when it was raining out, and then they paid the bouncers and the rest of the peeps off to kick everyone out of the VIP so we could take over?

Damn there were a few instances, but I seem to remember as I go along! LOL

I've only been to handful of shows so far but my first the Miami show the August before this last one was very special. I was so nervous, I think I said 5 words the whole time.

The last night of the show I met this amazing guy hanging out on the boardwalk we talked until the early hours of the morning before his flight. We talked about life, photography and almost anything you can think of. I found it amazing to meet someone and click like that. I'm glad it was my first show it was a wonderful time and a great memory. And he made a shy lady feel really good about her work and what she was doing.:)

Aly 11-27-2002 11:23 PM

I've never been to a convention. What is it? What happens there? Is it fun? How do I get invited to one? Will I fit in? What if nobody likes me? Will Twinkley be there?

:bonk:

Aly likes bungy jumping and flying out of planes. Ask her, uh huh.

Kenny B 11-28-2002 10:12 AM

My first convention in Florida in 99, that boat cruise and all the "talent" on board! The show was smaller and more personal, even though I was a newbie and knew 3 people there it was a welcoming experience and I had a blast!

Funbrunette 11-28-2002 10:30 AM

Well, as of November 22 the best memory at a show would have to be getting married! :love:
