    I have a question that I think is appropriate here. The members that are interested in going have expressed an interest in meeting up to meet each other. We're having a hard time coordinating this due to the somewhat anonymous nature of the boards, which is expected and understood to be necessary, generally. However, with this event, this anonymity seems to be a bit of a hinderance. I have read thru the General Help FAQ and Site Info and Privacy Policy and while I see we can't post pics of a personal nature, it says nothing of personal info. I also know that in the User CP area, there are places to put contact info.

    My question is simply, do you (AW) have issues with us posting anything personal, especially an email address, either on the boards or in the User CP area? I certainly don't want to break any rules and I'm not asking for AW to help in facilitating our meetups as you obviously have no obligation or time to do so. I just want to understand what we can do.

    I have had several thoughts:
    1) post a message in the mundane chat thread giving instructions for posting to a Non-AW site (i.e. a Yahoo Group set up by one of the members strictly for AW AEE meetups of members during the show and while in Vegas) so that anyone interested and willing could do so.
    2) Can we use the User CP area to post an email address we might want to give out, (with free email accounts so easy to get now, a "temporary" email account to Yahoo wouldn't be hard for people to get set up).
    3) Maybe post a poll saying "are you going, yes, no, maybe" and then AW could gather the interested members and send an email to any that say "yes" or "maybe" with other email addresses of "yes" or "maybe" members. This poll would of course be worded so that its understood that by answering yes or maybe you AGREE to share your email info for this purpose only. The poll could close, say a week before the show, and the email sent once to avoid any significant work on AW staff part.

    Anyhow, if any of these make sense or are allowed, that would be awesome. If not, or if they break the rules, that is fine. We will make do, as we are very happy to be part of AW and I, at least, am simply happy to have the opportunity we do have.

    Thanks for the time on this question.

      I have a request of AW staff: Could you put up a similar list with pictures that is work-safe? I have some friends I'd like to show it to.

          Ha! Good eye for detail, but no, we'd never do this.

          If we do GB stuff, it will def be with the models' real life partners.

He is going to AEE in Vegas and is very obsessed with the pornstars since living in L.A. he gets to hang around them a lot. But after viewing the AW videos on the press link and the photos, he told me he is is not impressed in the least. Using his words, he said he has not seen a "cute" one yet and said to me that, sorry, but he will be spending his time with the pornstars and won't be bothering with AW.
            It surprises me, that your pal's view is surprising for you. We know not everyone likes our stuff. Most people seem willing to give us a go, though.

            Now I know this is just one guy's opinion and tastes, but I'm concerned that a lot of people who attend AEE are so used to pornstars and AW girls are so different that they really won't give the AW models a chance.
            Yah. we're ready for that - we're expecting it.

              There won't be - there's no need. We have the real, live models themselves!

              We will have a few laptops for site tours, however.

                Just to clarify, while fans do come to the show and are well-catered to, it's primarily a TRADE show - business to business. And not to put too fine of a point on it, "pretty" or not, if stuff sells, trade are interested. We have a proven track record of bringing home the bacon (as is indicated by our nominations for best DVD series'), so I hope we'll do ok without your buddy.

                But tell him thanks from me, for keeping an open mind!

                  Great questions! We'd prefer you did not post personal info, but we do have a plan!

                  Shortly, we're going to ask for RSVP's for the AEE event, and we'll form a mailing list for those attending. We're planning on Luxman leading some of the members' get-togethers.

                            Hey guys, you would be welcome.

                            It's a pity!

                              Great news that Lux will be the tour guide. WOW! What a super benefit. Looking forward to meeting you, Luxman.

                              Just out of curiosity, what if some member wanted to give souvenirs of, say, Texas, to the AW contingent? He would need to know how many to buy wouldn't he? That includes the models, Toby, Patience, Susie and maybe Giselle and who else?

                                Hmm, I start to be excited amazed scared.

                                Oh, don't forget the tip for the guide!

                                  Thanks, so much, Abby, for wading in here to help us out on several points. (Must have been one of your "inner circle" that whispered you were needed!)

                                  Anyway! The members should know that you have all imaginable tools at your disposal to contact members or to put them in contact with each other, should deem that wise. Secondly, I wonder if you have any way of knowing how many who visit the message board and read all this actually post here and are familiar to all here. Is it one in three, five, 100?? More???

                                      ... Of course that would have to be at a URL something like this: http://press.abbywinters.com/aee/des...sby/models.php

                                      Also, http://press.abbywinters.com/aee/desksafe4arsbyandhistaxaccountant/models.php

                                              Thanks for the reassurance. To me, the interview seemed a bit vague and open ended about how you would carry things forward.

                                                yah, that's cos we're keeping our option open - and don't want someone to say "two years, three months, and four days ago, you PROMISED you'd so [such and such]!!"

                                                    Abby,

                                                    Thanks for considering my questions. I have sent my RSVP. It will be very cool to have Lux be our guide. Oh, and to followup on Aggie's question about numbers of things to bring from our respective locales? 15 or 16 folks are representing AW, is that correct?

                                                    Thanks again, Z

                                                      once we have a better feel for how many members are attending, we'll be able to advise on gifts. 10 models are attending, plus Susie, Patience, and Toby.

                                                            Pardon my butting in, but one of the things I'd like to see in any gift pack would be a schedule of when the models will be at the booth. I'd like to get each one to autograph a photo for me.

                                                            Thnx

                                                              Great idea, alexbee. I, too, will arrive with a portfolio of AW models in search of autographs. It will be interesting to see which pics we pick.
