These photos are from Saturday evening at the adult webmaster event, The Phoenix Forum 2014. After a long day in the sun, people broke off to various dinners and to prepare for the Casino 54 Closing Party sponsored by CCBill and ImLive. Like last year’s event this was a casino night, this time with it having a 70’s disco theme. Having been there for the 70’s and Saturday’s event, some people really nailed it with their outfits. Others looked more like a Grateful Dead concert, but everyone was having a great time and that is what was important. Attendees were able to play Black Jack, roulette and craps with their winnings transferred to raffle tickets. Prizes ranged from a couple Xbox Ones to $1,000 in cash. There was also a cash prize for the best 70’s outfit. After the closing party there were still a couple options to party for the hardcore. I opted to take the easy way out and visit the suite parties at the Tempe Mission Palms.

This was another fine event and CCBill and all the sponsors should be thanked and congratulated for putting on a fun and successful B-to-B event. I would be remiss in not mentioning the staff of the Tempe Mission Palms as they always make it seem like we are at a home away from home. Special thanks to my sponsors, merchant processing provider, Mobius Payments and award winning managed web hosting provider, MojoHost. I look forward to our return in 2015. (more…)

A couple of weeks ago a cryptic email was circulating about The Phoenix Forum closing party, with a graphic showing the number 10 and $10,000. There was a lot of speculation, most of it incorrectly suggesting it was the 10th Phoenix Forum (it was the 14th) or that it was the 10th time we met at the Tempe Mission Palms (it was the 9th). Saturday afternoon hints started popping up about a “Casino Carnaval” that would be the closing party for this adult industry event. As it turns out, IMLive was celebrating 10 years in business. I am still not sure what the $10,000 referred to because there had to be a lot more than $10,000 spent by IMLive and CCBill to throw this casino night. It was, beyond a doubt, the best closing party the Phoenix Forum has thrown that I can remember; which was appropriate since this was an amazing few days in Tempe.

I’d like to thank CCBill, the staff of the Tempe Mission Palms, all the show sponsors and the sponsor of my photos, Mobius Payments as well as all the attendees for making this a stellar event. I can’t wait to see what happens next year. (more…)
