These photos were taken on my flight from LAX to Barcelona and some of the sights from my first day there. The European Summit 2012(TES 2012), Barcelona began on Monday, March 5 so I headed out of LAX on Saturday morning so I could have some time to adjust to the new time zone before the show started. Arriving at 7:00 AM on Sunday, it was far too early to check in to the Hotel Barcelona Universal, so I dumped my bags off and headed over to the Hotel Miramar to see if there were any other early arrivals. No one was awake there either.

I took a few photos from around both hotels, and when the Universal allowed me to check in six hours early I jumped on it. When I awoke, I headed back to the Miramar, where the Online Dating Summit was wrapping up. There I met a few friends and we headed off to the El Born section of the city for some tapas and Spanish wine. (more…)

Sunday was day three of the first Adult Entertainment Virtual Convention. The final day of AEVC 2012 consisted of an entertaining interview with “The Original Princess of Porn,” Seka; a presentation on the Reality of Condoms in the Porn Industry by Sabrina Deep, “The Art of Anal” by Kelsey Obsession as well as some discussion on online role playing and an inside look at being a virtual sex worker. The evening concluded with a AEVC Wrap Up Party sponsored by LokiPorn.

I would like to congratulate Red Light Center and all the sponsors for a very interesting event. While the weekend started off with many people on webmaster forums scoffing at the idea of a virtual convention, by the end of the show, many of those had joined in the fun and started to realize the benefits of networking in this manner. I am sure the next show will be even bigger and better. (more…)

Today was the second day of Adult Entertainment Virtual Convention 2012 and it was even more impressive today. There were definitely more adult webmasters there today, which was a pleasant surprise. Even though today was billed as a B2C event with some meet and greets with a couple porn stars, it was really tailored to adult webmasters and those that wanted to learn more about the process.

The day started with an interview by Colin Rowntree from Wasteland with Christian Mann from Evil Angel Video. That was followed by a Webmaster 101 panel and a workshop on Producing Porn From Start to Finish put on by Girlfriends Films. The education portion of the day ended with a panel on XXX Domains and the future of the Adult Industry, featuring Diane Duke of the FSC and Vaughn Liley of ICM. This was followed by the Adult Entertainment Virtual Awards and After Party. The show goes on for one more day, so if you are not doing anything, stop on by. (more…)
