These photos are from the Double Decker Bus Tour around Hollywood. Although I am a local and have lived around here for all my life, it never dawned on me to take a tour of Hollywood. However, XBIZ had a bus tour in Chicago and London, and I thoroughly enjoyed both of them, so I decided I would give it a shot. It was a beautiful, picture postcard day in Hollywood, so spending an hour riding around in a convertible bus was not a bad way to spend some time.
The tour was interesting on its own, but I think what is did more than anything else was point out locations to check out on foot later on. I experienced the same with the London tour. Chicago was just too cold to go walking around. All in all, it was a great ending to XBIZLA 2012. (more…)

These photos are from Wednesday at the adult entertainment B-to-B event, XBIZ LA. The day began with a mix and meet market, which is the substitute for the days of yesteryear when adult shows had large rooms with dozens of large booths. Now it is more intimate and cost effective to have the smaller set up for an hour or two of booths instead of three days. I guess YNOT can get credit for pioneering them back in San Diego. After the Mix & Meet, we had lunch at Simon LA again, followed by another Speed Networking session.
The panels included an anti-piracy discussion with Allison Vivas of Pink Visual and Doug Lichtman, a UCLA Law Professor who is an expert on patent and copyright law, telecommunications regulation and general legal issues pertaining to technology firms and the Internet. It was enlightening to say the least. The keynote was a discussion between Colin Rowntree and Ron Cadwell, which was very entertaining. The day ended for me with the State of the Industry panel, 3 Minute Showoffs and the AWE cocktail reception. (more…)

These photos are from Tuesday at the adult entertainment industry B2B event, XBIZ LA 2012. The two day event was held at the Sofitel Hotel in Hollywood, CA. Tuesday started off with a lively Speed Networking session, followed by another great workshop by Brad Gosse. Then my favorite part of Sofitel, lunch at Simon LA, then more panels on billing, legal and burning issues. Of course, the evening ended with the 10th Annual XBIZ Awards show. (more…)
