I am going to Vegas next month with this guy I am seeing to attend some big computer convention thing. He has attended the last few years, but this will be my first time. He told me about a section of the convention called Adult-X, where all the computer porn companies gather. Unless he is pulling my leg (he’s a big joker), he said that there are naked people walking around and even live sex shows right there in some of the booths. I am thinking that I may want to get a few rum and Cokes in me and maybe check it out.
Have any of you been to Com-X (Is that the name?) and if so, did you get over to the Adult-X section. Is he telling me the truth about the naked people and the sex? Tell me more!
Oh, and I’m buying drinks Friday the 17th if anyone will be in town.
AdultDEX is timed to run in conjunction with COMDEX. It is quite the interesting show. At AdultDEX, they actually have to que the people going in, cause the exhibition (pun intended) hall would be overfilled in no time. That, and they serve lots of beer.
Get your picture taken with porno stars, step right up, step right up!
I was in Vegas last year just as the big computer show (sorry, I forgot the name of it, too) was about to hit town. Because it’s one of the biggest annual shows to hit Vegas and because all the participants are these geeky computer types – not your typical Vegas scotch-happy conventioneers – there’s always a lot of pre-show media mention.
I remember an article in a Vegas paper stated that some of the local merchants really hated the show but others really loved it. The difference of opinion split along these lines:
The gambling establishments hated it because apparently computer geeks don’t like to gamble and are lousy tippers.
The strip clubs and porno places, on the other hand, love it because… well, let’s put it this way, business really picks up.
Huh? Was Nina Hartley not available or something? Weren’t there any porn star women you could’ve posed with? That would be my choice, regardless of how big (hehehe) of a hero the guy was to me.
I would love to attend ComDex – I still never understood the Dex cuz it reminds me of our Yellow Pages.
Anyhow, go have a good time and if you see any good looking computer type guys willing to relocate to Colorado Springs send them my name and number. < grin >
Do you like the blue-eyed blondes, the dark-eyed brunettes, green-eyed redheads, or the combination type? Tall, short, buff, thin, husky? Glasses? Facial hair? Long, short, or bald head? Outgoing or the quiet type? Young or old?
Since there will be an over abundance of men, I need to make certain I get your order correct.
The ChiComDexes I’ve been to were pretty boring. Endless booths of directly comparable software. At my last one I realized if I heard the phrase “enterprise-driven” one more time I was going to hurl. The porn stars kept their clothes on, too, since that stuff was still part of the main show.
Vegas HAS to be better, since anything is better in Vegas than Chicago. At least I assume so, not having been to Vegas.
Diane asked, “There are going to be computers there?” Surprisingly few; mostly software. But the “variety” of hardware available these days is pretty boring.
I like em all, but my preferances are the blue eyed, blonde ski bum looking type…picture Robert Redford (in his younger days) throw in a little bit of the Marlbro Man (it’s that rough guy thing) and you’ve got my man! He can wear glasses but they have to be nice ones. And he needs to be 30 - 40 years old.
At COMDEX? Are you kidding? It’s the same crop of geeky Dilbert losers we’ve come to associate with our profession. Go to a local user group meeting and save the airfare.
