What Is Your Best Memory Of Being At A Convention?

[LaurieX]

Twinkley I was there to share in some of those great moments with you.

Remember this fun time we shared together ????

Cybernet Expo Miami 2001 The fire alarm going off at 3 am we ran out the door in our Pj's I was f$%^ked up that night folks. Ran out the door barefoot hmmm even though my shoes were right by the door and I even looked at them on the way out. Grabbed My precious cell phone but failed to grab my purse with all of my credit cards, Id , and money DUH. Flew down the stairs in a panic with all the other drunk people freakin out. intead of the stairs letting us out in a nice place we ended up in an alley with glass all over the ground! (remember we were barefoot). Then we walk a BLOCK on the side of a busy road to the front of the hotel !! Good lord we had to walk through the lobby in our pj's!! very embarrasing hehe. All I could remember thinking is Thank GOD Ynot Bob did not see us he would have laughed his ass off at us.

And what do you know some idiot had pulled the alarm as a prank. Call us dumb but being on the 4th floor we wernet taking any chances.

Just meeting the people I had talked to in chats and on boards. I can remember Evil Chris coming and sitting down next to me in Montreal and because I recognised him from a previous convention pic I just kept saying.."Its Evil Chris! Its Evil Chris!" I met so many people in Montreal...and twice as many as that in Hollywood, Florida. I wonder who I will meet in Vegas in January!

[Masters]

Damn Laura x that sounds like a hell of an exciting night...
Times like that keep you laughing for years after and are memories that you will never lose track of. Which is nice

Electra,
Everyone enjoys meeting you. You are so pleasant and easy to chat with. Not to mention a sharp as a tack. For as long as we've known each other I must say that it's been a pleasure during each of our conversations. You're just one of those people that you could never run out of things to talk about.

I look forward to seeing you at the next convention, not sure I'll make it though, and spending time chatting with you.

Keep on Rockin'

[twinkley]

Hahahahaha

I DO remember that!

We hadn't been in bed 15 minutes when that thing went off. I was totally together (my momma woulda been proud) - I grabbed my purse (forgot my shoes too) and hauled ass outta there. We were on the 6th floor!

We helped a whole bunch of people out to the street - guiding them through the glass and shit - ended up filing a formal complaint with the hotel for that!

The funniests thing was, Connor and Buran slept right through it!

Hahahahaha - Then sneaking inside through the main building PRAYING that no one saw us in out PJ's,. totally without makeup, wrecked at 4am.


I remember meeting Electra the first time I was like WOW you ARE real! hehehehe

Eeesh

[B O B]

Hahahhaa
What makes you think I didnt see you?


Thanks for thinking of me while you are in your PJ's though!

[twinkley]

Ohhh...
Cause if you had, you would have made a HUGE deal out of it hahahaha

You have never seen 2 girls move so fast in your entire life - we were terrified of being found hahahaha

I remember the fire at the 43rd floor of the Sheraton at the New Orleans show a couple years ago....... it was so smokey and about 2am. I was awaken by the fire alarm thinking it was a joke...but I went out in my hallway and realized it was real. I walked down 43 flights of stairs in my underwear...when I got to the outside sidewalk, I ran into all kinds of people I knew. Funny thing is, nobody realized I was walking around in my underwear.

new orleans is crazy man.

[twinkley]

I had to wonder if it was real, how many people would have been hurt.

Easily half the people in the hotel (maybe more) just went on sleeping through it - it was not all that loud, and if we hadn't just come in a couple of minutes before, I never would have heard it....

I dont mess with fire - esp. on a high floor

twinkley

[Masters]

Geez,
that could have really been dangerous... even at that hour people walking and running down flights of stairs half asleep.
I must not have been at that show or I just didn't hear the alarm.


Great story though


Keep on Rockin'

[sherie]

Best memories of the last convention was Tony's party bus and the great bars...if I could remember more sure would tell...Oh there is more but it's a secret LMAO

Man, those guys sure do know how to party - had a great time in Montreal - Tony introduced me to sushi and then a WHOLE lot of clubbing - damn, that was fun...

twinkley

[sherie]

Twinkley from what I can remember you were on the bus one of the times I was one it! Yes Tony does know how to party das fo sho!

I had a great time in Montreal. I partied like a rockstar, but hell that's nothing knew for me LOL

[twinkley]

[twinkley]

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!

[Masters]

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]

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]

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


Keep on Rockin'

[twinkley]

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

[Raya]

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.

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?

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

[Kenny B]

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]

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