Movember is just around the corner. In the month of November, men around the world are growing moustaches to bring awareness to the different kinds of cancers that affect men.

Since I already have a beard and moustache, we are going to make this a little more interesting. Donate using this link. When we hit $1,000 I will completely shave off my existing beard and moustache.

In Movember I will begin growing the moustache back. No beards allowed.

Thank you in advance for any contributions, I have to admit, I am getting a little concerned. It has been a very long time since I was clean shaven and the donations are already rolling in with almost 25% of my goal raised in the first hour since I first made the announcement.

It is that time of year again, when it is time to start planning for the adult webmaster B-to-B shows that are being held in Europe. The first show of interest is The Barcelona Summit, which will be followed by Webmaster Access in Amsterdam. The Barcelona Summit will be held September 21-24, 2010 at the Le Meridien Ra Beach Hotel & Spa in Barcelona, Spain. Webmaster Access will be Held September 24-26 at the Park Hotel in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

The combination of having these two shows happening one after the other is great for those of us based in the United States. While some may find it difficult to justify the cost of a trans-Atlantic flight to attend one show, having both shows occur consecutively makes it difficult to not make the journey. I am a firm believer that coming to Europe to meet your potential clients shows them that you are serious about getting their business. I have traveled to Europe four times in the last few years and I always come away with new business, so I feel this confirms my opinion.

I will be representing PimpsPromo.com as well as GotWebHost.com on this trip. As usual, I will be photographing both shows. For anyone interested in purchasing banner spots on the galleries or watermarks on the pictures I have great deals available. For example, having your button on the photos can be had for as little as $2,000 per show. Banner spots above and below the photos can be done on a monthly or permanent basis. A quick check of Google will confirm that any show I shoot and post here ranks in the top five almost every time.

Since we have been checking out rates to fly from Chicago to Barcelona to Amsterdam and back to Chicago I will pass along a little tip. The average cost if we use the same airlines for all the destinations has been around $1,300 per person. If you book from the US to Barcelona, then from Amsterdam (or Germany if attending Oktoberfest) you can save almost $300 by utilizing Vueling Airlines to get you from Barcelona to Amsterdam. They have three flights a day that average about $100, so it makes sense to at least check them out.

For more information about The Barcelona Summit visit http://www.thebarcelonasummit.com. For more information about Webmaster Access Amsterdam, visit http://www.webmasteraccess.com/.

I hope to see you at one or both of the shows.

Got Web Host has signed on to be a co-sponsor of the Players Ball being held at the XBIZ Summer Forum 2010. The Players Ball will feature rapper, Too Short. There is talk of a special guest appearance by Baby Bash, but that is still up in the air. The event will be held on June 9, 2010 at Sapphire Gentlemen’s Club, which was the venue to the last Players Ball at Internext. It runs from 9:00 PM until 1:00 AM.

There is free transportation and admissions for attendees of the XBIZ Summer Forum. Look for the limos that say “Players Ball” on them and it will be free. If you cab it yourself, by Vegas rules, you have to be charged. If you are a local, you can drive there or walk. But if you are a local, you probably already know the rules. Either way, there are no other events scheduled that evening so come on down. It was a cool club, and D-Money always throws a good party.
