Day 3 of the Adult Entertainment Expo 2013 Fan Fest

Sunday, January 20th, 2013

Saturday was day four of the B2B portion of the 2013 Adult Entertainment Expo and day three of the AEE Fan Fest, held at the Hard Rock Hotel, Las Vegas. The B2B portion consisted of a legal seminar and there were a couple of panel discussions; one featuring James Deen that was open to those attending fan fest. Since it was Saturday, the expo was very crowded with the lines of fans waiting to get an autograph or photograph with their favorite porn star.

Since it was so crowded, I spent some extra time at the Clips4Sale booth to watch Ashley Fires work the crowd. I have to say, if there is someone that can truly draw a crowd, it is Ashley. Unfortunately, the Hard Rock put all kinds of limitations on what she could or could not do, but the fans did not seem to mind very much.

Day three of the 15th AVN Adult Entertainment & Novelty Expo 2013

Saturday, January 19th, 2013

These photos are from day three of the 15th Adult Entertainment Expo and Adult Novelty Expo 2013; put on by AVN, at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas, NV. On the B2B side of the show, the day included seminars on such topics as Women in Adult and Content Production and Protection. The vendors at the novelty expo seemed to have more foot traffic as well.

Since it was Friday, the AEE Fan Fest started getting pretty crowded; it made it a challenge to get a good vantage point for photos at times. I asked some people how long they had been standing in line to get an autograph and photo with their favorite porn star; and was surprised to hear that some had been in line for two hours and still were not at the front of the line. Those are some devoted fans.

Tonight will be the 30th Annual AVN Awards. All the photos from this event are sponsored by search.xxx, the only search engine for .xxx web sites. (more…)

Photos from Day Two of AVN’s Adult Entertainment Expo 2013

Friday, January 18th, 2013

These photos are from day two of the 15th Annual AVN Adult Entertainment Expo (AEE) and Adult Novelty Expo (ANE) 2013, being held at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas, NV. I started the day off by attending some seminars being held for the B2B attendees of ANE and AEE. The topics covered strategies for launching new brick and mortar adult stores for pleasure products as well as a State of the Industry for the AEE attendees and concluded with a panel discussing sex toys for men.

Thursday was day one for the Adult Entertainment Expo Fan Fest, so after visiting the ANE booth area I headed over to The Joint for the ribbon cutting. They let the fans in beginning at noon for the VIP’s and an hour later for general admission. It did not take long for the lines to form for everyone’s favorite porn star. Since it was Thursday the numbers were not outlandish, but you can be sure Friday and Saturday will be much more crowded.
