It’s that time again! January brings with it our favorite trade shows of the year! And, wouldn’t you know it, they’re all in one of our favorite places, just a mere ninety miles north of our “home base!”
Las Vegas is most definitely the place to be this month, and, as we are every year, we’re geared up to go! This week we’ll be attend
ing the 2010 CONSUMER ELECTRONICS SHOW and checking out the latest gadgets and toys at one of the world’s largest trade shows.
We’ll also be checking out the annual “adult companion” to the CES, the ADULT ENTERTAINMENT EXPO! The event, staged each year by the AVN MEDIA NETWORK is always a total riot, with nearly every major adult entertainment celebrity and luminary in attendance. The booths on the main show floor, open to all “fans” of the genre, is filled to the brim with “eye candy” in every direction. The vendor booths in the exhibit area below the main level, open to the trade and press only, display some of the craziest—and kinkiest—toys around!
Every year the AVN ADULT VIDEO AWARDS are handed out on the last night of the event, honoring the best performances and productions in many categories of adult entertainment. While other commitments and parties prevented us from attending last year’s award ceremony, we are hoping to attend at least part of the awards show this year, which has changed venues from the Mandalay Bay to The Pearl nightclub at The Palms Hotel.
It’s going to be a few days jam packed with gizmos and gadgets of all kinds, and our schedule is already packed to the gills with endless things to do and see. Besides trying to take in the acres of exhibits at the Las Vegas Convention Center and the Sands/Venetian Expo Center, we have a pretty large list of parties and press events. If past experience is any guide, we’ll be lucky to get to even half of the events on the list. But that’s just what convention week in Vegas is all about.
So, we’re off and running! As I have done for the past couple of years, I’ll be meeting up with our old pal MICHAEL BUTLER, who is the online host of the music channel at MEVIO.COM as well as hosting his own online podcast and live streaming shows, THE ROCK AND ROLL GEEK SHOW and GOOD CLEAN FUN. Michael will be doing his own video reports for MEVIO all day Thursday, Friday and Saturday. I’ve agreed to help out with camera and sound duties and even help with a bit of production assistance. So it looks like yours truly, NEW MEDIA JOE, will definitely be on the go!
We’ll try and blast out a few tweets whenever we get a chance. Check out our TWITTER FEED for those!
We will probably be so busy attending the show, press events and parties that we may not be able to blog or tweet “live” during the show. (Hotel internet connections and access also play a major role in all of this.) So, if we don’t post updates during the week, rest assured that there will be our own CES coverage and updates to follow later!
In the meantime, no need to wait for our coverage. There’s plenty of great ongoing, up to the minute and LIVE coverage of the Consumer Electronics Show to be found online! Below are links to some cool live new media coverage of CES 2010.
